What is true beauty?

I’ve been meditating lately on true beauty. I’ve struggled all my life to define it for myself. Is it self-love? Is it simply feeling good? Maybe, it’s looking like someone I perceive as beautiful or adorning myself to fit an idea that feels distant from my truth. I could write endlessly about the cultural programming around beauty, the cheap shots at our insecurities to sell products, and the misleading marketing that distorts our perception of ourselves.

However you define beauty, I have come to find it in the moments when I feel whole and complete. When my body, mind, and spirit reflect an energy of joy in the mirror. When I am in perfect balance.

Today is Ostara, the Spring Equinox, a fleeting moment of harmony where day and night stand in balance before the light overtakes the dark. We, too, sway between darkness and light, touching these moments of equilibrium.

Matthew and I are infinitely inspired by nature, and today is no exception. The cycles of the Earth remind us that beauty is not a fixed ideal, but a living harmony.

Since refining TU·ET·AL into what it is today, I am confident in sharing the beauty I feel through the balance of our creations and sharing this care with all of you (reading the reviews on the website truly reflects this deep gratitude). I invite you to try our skincare, to nourish yourself, to bring the awakened energy of Spring to usher in balance, to support us as Earth stewards returning to a reality in alignment with nature, and simply to realign your natural balanced beautiful self.

Blessings of beauty to you,

Natalie
