‘Marilyn Monroe’ 1950’s Beauty Ideal
I would love to bring more “experts” and scientists into the conversation to stir the pot but this is a blog and I have your attention for a minute they say! So tell me what you think?

turns and beauty culture is fickle! The wise takeaway? Be comfortable in your own skin, and find the beholders who appreciate your unique beauty inside and out!
Truly Herself, Lauroly
