10 Ways to Feel BeautifulYou wake up, look in the mirror, and feel you may as well just go back to bed. That’s what an ugly day feels like.

On a day that you’re feeling singularly unattractive, it is precious small comfort to know that even Michelle Pfieffer has bad days, on occasion. Attached or unattached, no woman has the monopoly of feeling under the weather when it comes to beauty. We all have our low self-esteem days—hair doesn’t cooperate, our nose is all of a sudden, intolerable, and we curse our genes for not giving us perfect skin. On an ugly day, a single woman suffers the delusions that the reason she has no special someone is because she does not look like Joey Mead. On the other hand, the attached woman fears her boyfriend or husband will leave her for some Cameron Diaz look-alike with perfectly shaped thighs.

Such is the plight of women, unfortunately. Blame it upon centuries of societal conditioning. We are the fairer sex, and by fair—they were talking about much more than complexion. We are supposed to be pretty. That’s what you’re supposed to be if you’re born a woman. How else will you find a husband, have a happy life? Never mind brains, never mind a personality. If you’re a woman, you should hope and pray to God that you are beautiful, because only when you are beautiful will you have a happy life.
