How to Be a Beautiful Diva From the Inside Out

Hi Ladies,

Today's blog posting is coming from http://www.asassyries.com/ 's Creative Director, Leonna Hart, pictured below looking fabulous at one of our make-up gigs. You will be seeing posts from the both of us as we build and nurture this blog. Please enjoy!


Being a diva isn’t just about looking great; actually, I think looking great is only a result of the qualities you must have in order to call yourself a true diva. The looking great part only happens when everything else falls into place. I’m talking about who you are inside, and how you present yourself to everyone. So, let’s start from the inside, out. After all, beauty is only skin-deep, right?

I’m sure all of us have known women, and perhaps we’ve been that woman, that was absolutely gorgeous…great hair, beautiful skin, a face to die for, and a smile that could blow you away; but when you really looked at her for who she was, she was lacking so many things; you could even have said she was ugly; I mean just plain dreadful!

True beauty is something that radiates from within and can’t be compensated for. I call it your “divahood.” This is something that can never be taken away (makes me think of Whitney Houston’s song, “no matter what they take from me, they can’t take away my dignity”). Foreheads will wrinkle, eyes will droop, breasts will sag, but, poise, confidence, self-worth, self-respect, humility, compassion…these are all things that won’t tarnish with time. Besides, people aren’t going to remember you for how beautiful you were, or how nice your hair always was, or how you always dressed to impress; they are going to remember you for how you treated yourself, and those around you…how beautiful you were on the outside, is just a bonus.
