Feel Good. Look Good (16 Feb 05)

I was at MPH for half an hour. Intended to look for a book "You Were Born Rich" by Bob Proctor, but ended up at Astronomy and Beauty sections.

You see, I live by my horoscope, be it the Western or the Chinese. The first thing I flipped in a magazine must be horoscope. Every Chinese New Year's eve, I would stay tuned to Channel 8, watching the countdown variety show, not that I fancy the games played or the songs sung, but yes, because I want to know what lies in the year ahead for the year I was borne. I mean no harm knowing.

Back to MPH. I was browsing Jacelyn Tay's "Feel Good. Look Good". The content is not as in-depth as other beauty books and the tips are pretty basic (like drinking more water, indulge on lots of fruits and vegetables, exercise regularly). In fact I find the price of $27 too steep. However, if you are going for pictures, this book promises it. It features pictures of the author standing tall and slender on a weighing machine, reading a book and doing her mediation and yoga. Gorgeous.

Despite all these, I am attracted to a paragraph that she wrote. She said if you could get up in the morning and see a beautiful you in front of the mirror, you would feel good and confident; and when you feel good, the day would just turn out to be a lucky day. When we look good, we possess the inner power to tackle all challenges. That may explain why those rich career women are often good lookers.
With that, I shall live by what Jacelyn preaches: live healthy, and you will be heavenly radiant, triggering positive energy and hence more luck. So, I shall eat more vegetables and fruits (just finished up one tomato!), practice my yoga more regularly and no slouch.

And to bring in more good luck, I must expose myself to co lours, especially the auspicious red. Gone will be the black and white days. Hello, pink and violet!
