Survey: WomenAspire To Beautiful Lives (NAPSA)—Can a woman become more beautiful as the result of the wayshelives herlife? A recent Bali intimate apparel survey says yes. Beauty, apparently, does shine from within, reflecting self-acceptance, selfconfidence and contentment with a life well lived. The survey showed that most women feel beauty has more to do with the way a woman lives her life than about any desirable physical features. An overwhelming 93 percent of the women responding to the survey said they'd rather live a beautiful life than be born beautiful. Self-confidence is a very important part of being beautiful. More than three-fourths of women feel that beauty comes most often from self-acceptance. It’s a feeling as well as a look; it’s having confidence in everything you do and everything you wear. Four out of five women feel beautiful at least some of the time, according to the survey. Those women say theyfeel that way most often because they’ve been told they are beautiful, because they like how they look or because they’re happy with the way theylive theirlife. Younger women ages 18 to 34 are most likely to feel beautiful because someonetold them they were and they like how theylook, while older women (35+) feel beautiful because of how theylive theirlife. When asked which everyday activity made them feel most beautiful, women’s top three responses were: romantic moments Women over35 tend to feel beau- tiful based on how theylive their life, rather than how theylook. with their spouse or significant other, laughing and doing a favor for a friend.
