Women vs. Women


Some women bleach their skin to make their skin coloration lighter.


Some women tan their skin because it gives the illusion of toner body.


Some women are curvy.


Some women are skinny.


Some women contour their nose, to make it appear smaller.

 Some women use lip injection for fuller lips.

   Why are we judging one another? Not to condemn any of the beauty services; just curious to know why is it so hard for us women to be less judgmental and more supportive of one another. Women vs. Women is a constant battle, we would rather demean one another instead of uplifting each other. We all have our personal reasons and motives for the decisions we make in life, some decisions are based on media influence, others are based on family, so on and so forth. As women, we need to take a stance and stop pointing our fingers at one another and begin encouraging, and uplifting each other instead.
   Why can't love be enough? Love is so inspiring, encouraging, and it makes this crazy world a better place to live in. If we can learn how to love one another, we would be better examples before our children. Love teaches our children to be kind, to speak highly of one another and most importantly to HELP each other. We need to teach our daughters to stop competing with other women, our biggest competition is ourselves. Therefore ladies lets learn to LOVE, INSPIRE, and ENCOURAGE each other! 

        "My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic, and we'll change the world."
                                                                                      - Jack Layton

Here are some of PGS favorite makeup products for the summer.

5. Nars Bronzer and Blush Duo in Laguna & Orgasm-a very natural, light bronzer while Orgasm gives an instant glow on the cheeks.
6. Revlon Lip Butter in pink truffle-Amazing lip butters, that last for long hours at a time.
7. Hard Candy Baked Bronzer in Tiki-A bronzer, that can also be used as a highlight for eyes and face.
