Having grey hair in your 20's in 1990 vs. 2024 reflects significant changes in social attitudes and beauty standards. For so long going grey as a young person was seen as undesirable and even unusual. The rise in the "silver hair" trend, where people intentionally dye their hair grey or silver, not to mention public figures proudly sporting grey hair has created a culture where it is less stigmatized. Who better to explore this broader embrace of natural beauty than someone who has lived through it?

What do breakups and botox have to do with each other? Breakups can sometimes leave people feeling self conscious about their looks, especially if they are re-entering the dating scene. Opting for botox or skin treatments (and yes sometimes bangs) can be seen as a commitment to self care and self improvement. We are not always reminded that botox (or bangs) something from the outside, can't fix unhappiness with our inner self selves. Inner beauty is getting in touch with our inner self first creating a beauty mindset and getting into cosmetic artistry after that. Cindy Kim, founder of Bliss Point Medical Spa dives deep with us into beauty psychology, beauty myths and what makes a good provider.
