BEAUTY AND AESTHETICS ๐ฅ
are so inherently appealing because of the dedication to craft required.
It becomes a finer art, an acute attention to detail and an excess of energy to produce something that is not only functional for whatever it is intended for, but beautiful as well
Anyone could slap together a building - however designing something functional that also blesses the eyes is another task in itself.
Anyone can dress haphazardly - however a curation of outfit takes some level of dedication and knowledge of colour, cut and fit.
It's a result of the human condition. Most people are distracted easily and its hard to dedicate time to a craft.
This is why we value artisanship + mastery of skill.
When most people let themselves go and become slovenly, people appreciate someone that does the opposite.
There is also an innate human connection that we feel when we gaze upon great beauty.
It transcends cultures - we can appreciate beautiful objects, art and structures despite not being from that culture.
Some things just have 'it'.
Biologically we appreciate beauty because if an organism only looks good if it is THRIVING in its envrionment.
A 'failing' organism is weak, cortisol state displays on body...
If an animal is strong, well-fed and engaging well within its environment, this shows as strength.
All beauty and Aesthetics also correspond to innate energy.
when something operates from a place of love, it is naturally more attractive on an energetic sense - this is why places, art and other such can have a sense of energy that you can't put your finger on, but you FEEL
In nature, we see living expressions of exact ratios of numbers that seem to be the most pleasing to the eye.
To me, this signals that there is something spiritual and intangible about the relationship of spacing to how it appeals to the soul.
We can also 'know' this.
Whatever is rare, is valuable.
When beauty and optimal physical health is rare, it is revered.
When beautiful and aesthetic design is seldom found now in favour of cheapness, People rightfully appreciate and value the opposite.
Cultivating a life that is aesthetic will undeniably have a therapeutic effect on your soul that is impossible to quantify.
Your home, your body, your environment and your community, all benefit when attention to beauty is exhibited.
We have lost this today, but it will return.

Let me tell you a story about Sir Roger Bannister.
He was the first man to run a mile in under four minutes
Before Sir Roger, it was the mainstream GLOBAL belief that it was IMPOSSIBLE for the human body to sustain such speeds without breaking down ..
They thought the human body couldnโt physically go that fast โ that it would literally collapse under the pressure.
Imagine going against a belief held by EVERYONE.
Everyone telling you that if you did this thing, your body would break down...
and doing it anyway.
"No-one can run a mile in less than four minutes.
It is impossible. You're crazy to even try!"
The 'experts' believed that the record could only be broken on a day with no wind, at 20 Celsius, on a hard dry clay track in front of a huge cheering crowd;
AVOIDANCE OF SUN EXPOSURE IS A RISK FACTOR FOR ALL CAUSE MORTALITY
"We found that allโcause mortality was inversely related to sun exposure habits. The mortality rate amongst avoiders of sun exposure was approximately TWOFOLD higher compared with the highest sun exposure group"
Sunlight exposure and fair skin are major determinants of human vitamin D production, which is crucial for quality of life and now obviously quantity too.
Exposure to sunlight remains the main source of vitamin D.
Sunlight UVB radiation with a wavelength between 290-315 nm penetrates the skin and converts 7โdehydrocholesterol to 25โhydroxycholecalciferol vitamin D3 via previtamin D.
I like to use coconut oil as a โconditionerโ applied after a shower to the ends of your hair.
Use a small amount, then work it through with a comb.
Gives a beautiful sheen to your hair while still being a natural product - and then I also dont shampoo often at all.
If you do the occasional shampoo wash, I think youโll be fine, but make sure to get a natural product.
Lots of toxic shampoos and conditioners made of chemical slop that Seeps into the skin and makes your hair (and you) unhealthy (possible cause of premature balding too!).
