After a recent discussion about body hair on women I am left wondering what it is that makes a women feel beautiful? Many women feel that shaving/waxing/general hair removal is one way to beautify themselves, but what are some of the other ways women make themselves feel beautiful? Does any one out there feel beautiful based on what is on the inside?

me, i am not into fancy clothes, or even into fancy things. I don't wear make ups. I don't go to salon to have a service for my hair, i just use regular shampoos and conditioner. But I feel beautiful at times, when somebody appreciate me or thanks me for what i have done.

I really feel that feeling beautiful is an inside job. When I am dressed up and looking good, I feel that I am beautiful then. There are some things on my body I am not positive with(for lack of a better word),but I tend to feel that I got some great assets just the same. I tend to feel taking bubble baths, putting on my favorite lotion/perfume make me feel beautiful as well. Plus, I HAVE to take a bath at night. A necessity for me. Once I take that, I feel like a million there.

I generally love my body, but even I am not completely immune to the idea that I must have this certain skinny hairless bodytype. I feel my boobs are too small. My butt's too big. I don't like my thighs. and my hair's too raw.. So what makes me feel beautiful? It used to be my eyes..I have blue/green changing eyes. However, I hate that the dark circles which I've had since I was a child make them look so dark.. So what really makes me feel beautiful? My boyfriend. Everytime he grabs my butt or boobs, or even plays with the little fat around my thighs and belly, or when he says he likes my hair all curled up I feel beautiful. Because if he thinks I'm beautiful, it shows that there is more to beauty than victoria's secret models.

I do not wear make up, not, even face powder, on normal days. I just wear them when there's an occassion, like weddings. However, I see to it that I wash my face and I moisturize daily to keep my skin healthy. I do not wax my legs because generally, I am not hairy. If there's one beauty ritual that makes me feel beautiful is going to the salon and have my hair treated. This ranges from hot oil, hair spa or hair reborn, but I have never had my hair colored. Another thing that makes me feel wonderful is having a long relaxing bath with aromatherapy and body scrubs. However, I feel beautiful the most when I am happy and in love and I know that someone thinks I am beautiful even if I look like a mess. It feels so goos to have someone who appreciates the way we look upon waking up.

Well, on my part, I feel beautiful if a friend mine or my crush notices me, but I feel good inside when somebody praises me for good things I've done, if somebody thanks me too.

I feel beautiful when I am happy because I also see that in other people. When they are happy, the radiance come from within and they really look good.

I of course shave. I use makeup and perfume.But it is no one product or item that makes me feel beautiful.It's when my daughter says I love you mommy. It makes me feel all fuzzy. It's one of the best feelings in the world. The other thing is my husband. When he can roll over and kiss me before I have even run a brush through my hair, WOW. These are the things that make me feel beautiful. You can shave and wax. You can spray, pluck and make-up. But thats all superficial. It's the people who see you at your worst. When your sick or have bed head or you go that extra day or two without shaving. They are the place where beauty comes from. How the people you love respond to you.

I do indeed get waxed. but what makes me feel really beautiful is a cute new outfit. It makes me feel good about myself. I also stick to a good routine to take care of myself to make me feel better with my looks.
