To anyone who's ever suffered wicked self-esteem-destroying words from the ‘Mean Girls’, this is your SWEET REVENGE…

“SHOW THEM,​ DON’T TELL THEM!”

TRUE STORY

My name is Wendy. I’m 57 and I am SO grateful for the life I have. BUT…

I wasn’t always. In fact, in overly dramatic youthful fashion, most of my youth was spent wanting to crawl under my purple paisley bedcovers and hide from the world until I turned 22 because I didn’t fit in at school… or with what the magazines presented as being pretty… and the boys that were considered datable? I was invisible to them.

I think at some point, we’ve all experienced some sort of comments about our looks. So, maybe you can relate.

And MAYBE you have your own stories about how the Queens of Mean targeted you at school for not looking a certain way.

And MAYBE  you were able to make it to the bathroom stall to hide from barrage of cruel comments hurled at you in the hallways between class:

Let me explain. Cut to present day.

I’m out to lunch with my daughter and who’s sitting at the table next to us? You got it! The same crowd that wouldn’t let me sit with them at the lunch table. Still BFFs, clearly. (But not Beauty Forever Friends, even more clearly.)​

When I discreetly pointed them out to my daughter, she said (a hair too loudly), ”They’re your age? You look like you could be their daughter!” Good kid, that one. Am I right?​

Anyway, Queen Mean took that as her cue to come over and stutter hello. This was my
SHOW DON’T TELL MOMENT!​

She said, “WOW, Wendy! I almost didn’t recognize you. You look just like your daughter. I mean, your daughter looks just like you. You could be twins, I… mean…”​

Now, I could unpack that sentence a million different ways starting with the ‘WOW’ attached to ‘Wendy’ rather than ’Wallflower’ or​ ’Wannabe’. Or the ‘I mean…(I. MEAN. LOL) I knew what she meant and felt it tingling in the best of ways throughout my whole body.

SKIN-CREDIBLE, RIGHT?!​

And when it comes to VATA? Here’s where I really started to Geek Out (ironically, the same quality that made me a ‘Mean Girl’ target back in the day.) I discovered that Black Gram Lentil is a natural, moisturizing soother with the ability to transform aging skin.

How? 

The skin-brightening properties of Black Gram help reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation as well as even out the overall skin tone.​

How? 

With Black Gram’s two other partners in the Triple Black-Gold Complex: Black Plum and Black Pepper.​

How? 

Black Plum is a rich source of potent vitamins and minerals including vitamin C and anthocyanins (search it 😉).

How? 

The Black Plum is a rich source of natural acids that help reduce the appearance of annoying dark spots and pigmentation, resulting in brighter, more even-toned skin.​

How? 

The juicy, hydrating nature of the Black Plum can help keep the skin moisturized, resulting in a healthier, more supple complexion.

And rounding out the TRIO of BLACKS in TRIPLE BLACK-GOLD COMPLEX? BLACK PEPPER. I knew what it was, but I had no idea why it was a skin care ingredient. Back to the keyboard!​

What are the effects of BLACK PEPPER on VATA skin?​

The results: This common spice has properties that aren’t as commonly known when it comes to skin care. In Ayurvedic practices, this little peppery pellet is revered as the “King of Spices” and can deliver invigorating results when ethoughtfully used in daily routines.

FROM sullen and sallow

Smooth and supported​

FROM uneven and spotted

Evened and balanced​

FROM hollow and deflated

Buoyant and boosted​

FROM Vata

I’m way too 🔥 to be anyone’s Mama!

If I were you, here’s what I would be asking me…

DID IT WORK?​

Stay with me… this is where things really get interesting.

I call my results the ‘AMPLIFIED-YOUTH EFFECT’… if you could have seen the Queen of Mean’s face when she saw me, you’d understand why! My youthfulness looked amplified—by at least two decades❗​

You know what else was kind of great?!

Yauvari’s ‘AMPLIFIED-YOUTH’ EFFECT' is a 100% gain, 0% pain approach to a more youthful-looking me.

No Pain or Needle Prick

No Brusing, Swelling or Peeling

No Doctors or Downtime

Let’s take a walk down historical lane, shall we?​

For as long as EVER, , women have endured pain in the name of beauty and to hang onto our youthful appearance. We​

JAM our toes into pointy-toed heels to make our legs look longer​
SQUEEZE into sausage-casing shapewear to tame belly bulges
APPLY chemicals to straighten, strip, and dye our hair with disregard to the damage​
SUFFER nips, tucks, needles, suction, and bruising to maintain a head-turning figure

No one’s twisting our arm to do this. We willingly do it over and over again throughout our lives because going through the pain is ”worth it”!

This is a toxic approach to appearance that buys into the long-time myth that pain is required to gain beauty.​

Well, I’m here to tell you as your BFF ’Beauty Friend Forever’, there’s a pain-free way to go about getting your you-go-girl groove back!

IN FACT, ​
the best path to finding the look of your lost, head-turning, heart-throbbing, mean-girl-revenging youth is​.....

100% Natural & Vegan

No Bruising, Swelling, or Peeling

Both Short-Term And Long-Term Effective

To explain, I needed to literally turn back the pages of time and mine the wisdom of 5,000-year-ancient Ayurvedic texts.

What do the Ayurvedic texts say about skin care?

The results: The Ayurvedic texts unveil a timeless skin care philosophy that transcends fleeting trends. Rooted in nature’s bounty, Ayurveda prescribes personalized rituals using herbs, oils, and time-honored techniques to nurture the skin. It’s a holistic approach and recognizes that radiant skin emanates from inner equilibrium.

CULTURAL DIFFERENCES

Ayurvedic beauty practices often emphasize a holistic approach to well-being, while Western beauty standards have been more focused on external appearances. This creates a cultural disconnect.​

AWARENESS 

Ayurvedic beauty wisdom with its rich heritage and holistic approach has remained relatively unknown in the Western world for a very, very long time.

COMMERCIAL APPEAL ​

The beauty industry in the Western world has been dominated by commercial interests and profit, offering quick-fix solutions and products. Ayurvedic practices and products are a threat to the industry as we know it.

CHANGE IS HARD

Integrating Ayurvedic insights into Western lifestyles can be difficult. It often involves changes in dietary habits, daily routines, and mindset and can be met with resistance.​

LANGUAGE 

The Ayurvedic wisdom was traditionally communicated in Sanskrit, which was a barrier for a Western audience.

AND THIS ONE’S BIG…QUALITY​

It seems many of the Ayurvedic companies that tried to sell their products in the West weren’t really equipped to meet industry compliance here. But iYURA, the company behind youth-boosting Yauvari changed all of that by putting stringent quality control processes in place, including safety testing protocols that ensure their products are pesticide-free and have no traces of heavy metal toxicity.

The turtlenecks I relied on to hide my lined neck and spotted decollete? I replaced them with look-at-me V-necks!​

The foundation I was using to conceal my dark spots and the foundation I relied on to hide my fine lines? It’s now concealed in the back of my vanity drawer!​

The scarves I became locally famous for wearing with... everything, to fashionably hide… everything from chest to chin? I still wear them. But only out of want not need!​

In a matter of weeks, I had become one of THOSE women!​

You know how small communities are. I had people talking.​
“She looks so good, what is she doing?” ​
“Has Wendy lost weight?” “Had work done?” “Changed her hair?” “Started pilates?” “Found a new facialist?”​
“Wendy. Just wow!"

Seems a little Black Gram Lentil goes a long way towards getting noticed—in the best way!

And while Black Gram is the hero of this skin care story, there are some supporting characters worth mentioning, here. Somewhat common herbs by comparison, but with some very intriguing characteristics you should know about.

A time-tested trio of trouble-shooting herbs:​

Turmeric, Ginger, and Long Pepper

The combination of Turmeric, Ginger, and Long Pepper perfectly aligns with the Ayurvedic approach to the appearance of skin that defies its biological age. Ayurveda, which originated in India more than 5,000 years ago, focuses on holistic well-being. Remember the Kapha, Pitta, and Vata stages in Ayurveda? Turmeric, Ginger, and Long Pepper help address various imbalances in each of those stages.

BRIGHTENS AND EVENS​

BRIGHTENS THE COMPLEXION​

​FADES THE LOOK OF DARK SPOTS​
Ginger’s natural enzymes also contribute to a more even complexion, diminishing the look of dark spots and disappointment in the mirror!​

CALMS AND GROUNDS​​
The high content of water and in mango promises the look of a plump, refreshed complexion and compliments from complete strangers! ​

SO, now… I promised you a Hollywood ending. For that, we need to go back to that lunch date I had with my daughter. You know, the one where the Queen of Mean approached our table and started to grill me like the asparagus on my plate about how I was maintaining my youthful look.​

Here’s what happened next…​

I told Charlotte (I figure it’s time to call the Queen of Mean by her real name) I was flattered by her comments about how good I looked and invited she and her friends to join us for a cup of tea. For the next hour or so, it was just a bunch of girls, sipping mint tea, catching up on life, sharing stories of marriages, divorces, children, dogs, and, of course, the incredible Ayurvedic oil she and her friends had to try.
