— Lupita Nyong'o

The beautiful remains so in ugly surroundings.
— Malcolm de Chazal

— Maggie Hassan
Looking beautiful isn't just about what you apply on your face. It's the little things you do that matter.

All these contribute to me being fit and looking good.
— Madhuri Dixit

— Lynda Carter
That's one thing brands are understanding is, I'm the blogger who's not writing about fashion. I'm not writing about beauty. I'm not writing about gossip. I'm not writing about politics.
