In keeping with the "Green" theme this month I would like to offer some thoughts on staying green on the inside. Being in the beauty business, I come in contact with many types of individuals. Some are quite happy and content, some not so much. It has occurred to me that the ones who are the happiest tend to be the most beautiful. I don't mean in the traditional Hollywood sense, but an authentic natural beauty that radiates from within at any age.

These lovely women are the more magnetic, charismatic, and pleasant--the ones I would rather spend time with. They aren't so concerned with fine lines or a few strands of gray. There is a twinkle in their eye, joy in their hearts, and there's one accessory they never leave home without ... a smile. I will often hear these women say, "I think I look better now than I did in my thirties!"

They have discovered that the most cost-effective, painless way to feel better and look younger on the outside is to be beaming on the inside. So you really can judge a book by its cover. And talk about being green: no surgery, no anesthesia, no drugs, no recovery time ... nothing to get in the way of living their naturally fabulous lives.

According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery; in 2008, Americans spent almost twelve billion dollars on cosmetic procedures! And 92% of those procedures are performed on women. If you are green within, you can release the need to do all that outer reconstruction. And imagine all the alternative uses for the money: traveling, planting a garden, making a generous endowment to your favorite charity. Travel gets us out of our routine, allows us to experience other cultures, and can provide beautiful memories for a lifetime. A garden not only gives us lovely flowers and fresh vegetables, it offers hours of nature therapy. And making a real difference in someone else's life by supporting a charity or two brings a feel-good reward like no other.

How fortunate we are to live in a world of choice. Start making conscious choices for your body, your soul, and your community. At juve` we've got an exciting new program called Internal Makeover; inner brilliance, outer beauty! Go green within!
