I'm so glad you came... The start of the 30 day project is quickly approaching. I hope you are all getting geared up and setting your personal goals. I will continue to post advice and general guidelines and to set my own goals. Let's start a movement for true beauty from the inside out. Pass this on to someone you love and care about. At the end of the project purebeauty will feature the story of one inspirational participant. It could be you. Leave a comment below to let us know you would like to be part of the project and to lend support to fellow participants.
Thanks!

I love any and all items related to making things/people/me more beautiful. I discovered lipstick at fifteen and since then I can count the number of times I’ve gone out with nude lips on one hand (okay, that's an exaggeration, but you get the point). The joys of blush and mascara were not lost on me. I approached makeup with an artist’s eye. I learned early on to use makeup to enhance and to embellish, not to cover up and mask. Clear skin was always the best canvas and that starts on the inside. I knew that what I ate and how I took care of myself was just as important if not more important than what I put on my face.
As I entered my twenties, my love affair with all things beauty continued to grow, but my awareness of the ugly side of beauty also began to take shape. I quickly realized that the beauty industry is hiding some very dangerous secrets in plain sight. The sad truth is that most of us do not know that the products we use every day contain known carcinogens (cancer causing agents) and other toxic ingredients.
The happy truth is that we do have choices. Just because I want to be healthy does not mean I don’t want to look good. I still want to wear lipstick. I still want my hair to be shiny. I like to look good and that’s okay. What we look like on the outside is a reflection of what is going on inside. When we eat pure wholesome food and drink clean water our skin glows and our eyes shine. That is beauty. When we feel content and balanced we draw people to us. That is beauty.

I'll go first...My goals are healthier eating, positive thinking(no complaining) and consistency with my beauty regimen. Overall, making more time for me ...
Nasirah
I would love to get started on this - my main struggle is dealing w/the inside. I can never seem to figure out how to get the proper nutrition I need.
Fluffylocks--Im in.
My goals are
stress, eating right, excercise, makeup, keeping eyebrows groomed, taking better care of nails, dressing, and time managing my day
Hey I'll join too! (I found out about this from lhcf!)
My goals are pretty much the same as fluffylocks.
*keep skin clear and hydrated
*exercise daily (at least a 15 minute walk)
*drink at least 1/2 gallon of water
*upkeep of brows, nails
*be more organized
Thank you for the invitation. My goals are more positive thinking, consistent exercise, and healthier eating.
Hi everybody!
I'm so glad to see all of you here. This is such a positive thing and I'm glad to share it with other conscious women. It's good to know we can support each other. If you have any questions, please let me know. I will try my best to help you find answer.
I wish you all positive energy and I know that you will meet or exceed your goals. I hope that the changes we make during this project will propel us to do better in all areas of our lives. It is my hope also that we can learn from the journey and know that our true beauty is something we all have a right to.
Thank you for joining!

Please pass this blog on to someone you love
This looks interesting. Who doesn't need to improve themselves in 30 days? I'd take a 30 second improvement project if it would work. But of coures, anything worth having is worth working towards, so I guess I should stop being impatient. I'm not sure what my goals are. I gotta think about them, make sure they're true.
(2grlsandme on LHCF) I am glad to have found this post on the LHCF. I had just started a 30 day challenge so this is right on time! My goals are to take my vitamins everyday and not miss a day. I am also trying to eat better including no processed foods, more fruits and whole grains. I will try and drink at least 64 oz. of water a day and of course co-wash daily for the entire time.
Thanks for inviting me to join, I already started taking better care of myself. So this works out great with the what I'm already doing. This project, I will focus more on my beauty regimen. I don't have a beauty regimen at all. So I'm going to work on my hair, skin and nails. From the inside and out!!!!
I'm in too. March is my birth month and it's lent right now, so I am all about lifestyle OVERHAUL!!! I want to rid my self of dry skin issues and maintain healthy eating habits. I am also looking to incorporate some form of physical activity into my daily life.
Oh something I thought to share, in my community and preventive medicine class, there is a magic 3 month (or 12-week however you see it)rule. Basically if you can maintain a newly learned habit for at least 12 weeks, it will stick!
Here's to positive changes in '08 for us all.
I'm excited, can you tell?
I'm in!
i'm in... this came right on time. personally i've been planning to "get my life together" starting on march 1st. my goals are to eat healthier, drinking water, excercise daily, read my bible && taking better care of myself in general. (including but not limited to, regular hair && nail appointments, updating wardrobe, etc.)
I am in! I aspire to:
*clearer skin
*daily exercise (for my abs)
*Healthier lifestyle
I would love to join the challenge with you ladies..My goals are to have a clear complexion, decrease meat intake, exercise and be more organized.
My goals are to be more consistent with my eating. That includes making fruits and vegetables my number one source of nutrition. I will start my day with prayer, and will strive to find something positive to say each morning. I would also like to stick to a doable skin and exercise regimen. Those the short term goals I’d like to make permanent.
Hi!
It's good to see all of the new participants still joining. The feedback has been so great. This just goes to show that there is a strong need and desire for a deeper approach to beauty, one that deals with the whole "self." When we as women look at the our whole "self" it is easier to appreciate our beauty than when we are reduced to the outer facade. I hope this 30 day journey will be a tool to help all of us embrace our birthright of confidence and self-love.

Count me in...I want to reduce sugar intake, increase fruits and grains, organize more and procrastinate less, drop some weight, exercise more, envision positivity, maintain and increase communication with my family and friends, continue to strengthen my immediate family and our position in life,...I'll add more as I think of it...
I'm in. This is a great challenge
Hi, I found you from LHCF and I'm glad I did.
I would like to participate in this wonderful challenge.
Goals:
Healthier lifestyle (going raw/exercise)
gain a positive and mindful disposition
cultivate my creativity
embrace my natural beauty (with some help from natural product, of course!)
Hmm, perhaps I should blog this experience.
