Beaux Tip: Meditate! In order to truly let your beauty shine from the inside out, you must have a grip on yourself and be able to access a calm place in your being. I recommend sitting in silence with yourself at least once a week for at least 15 minutes. Try not to think about your to-do list, what you are gonna wear to the event next week, or why your friend did not call you back, just relax and spend a little time with yourself!
