A French mother went on CNews to speak about the Pope’s visit but I want to breakdown the effortless style of the Parisian.
-Natural hair, healthy, thick. Simple style.
-Minimal makeup. She looks like she isn’t wearing any except lipstick.
-Natural nails. Groomed, clipped close. Either no polish or a minimal polish.
-Simple beige sweater, most likely cashmere (natural fibers), silk scarf for some gentle contrast and color.
-Gold earrings. Large but not flashy.
-Simple wedding band, not huge.

"Purity is the power to contemplate defilement."
"Extreme purity can contemplate both the pure and the impure. Impurity can do neither: the pure frightens it, the impure absorbs it. It has to have a mixture."
Simone Weil on purity, in Gravity and Grace (1947).
The act of reading alone is a transformative meditation. How could you read every word, listen to the author and travel to its world if your disposition in life is hasty, aggressive, dominant and restless?
