TIVO alert: How to Look Good Naked, a MUST watch

Friday night and it's time for half an hour with Carson Kressley your Fairy God-Stylist on How to Look Good Naked. If you haven't watched an episode of this show, you MUST, right now, I insist!

I've watched every single episode so far, and I have to say that I have learned two big things:

• My perception of my body is way off because I am much harder on myself than others would be. This is the case in every single woman on the show, which is why a good part of the show is spent on a "perception check." How To Look Naked has helped me get a better perspective on focusing on the beautiful parts of my body and my beauty.

• At the end of every show, the woman is just beaming. She is glowing from inside-out, and head-to-toe, and all they did on the show "physically" was get them new underwear, some new outfits, and a hair & makeup makeover. It's all stuff that any of us could do. The biggest change came in attitude and perspective, which again, are things that any of us could do. I'm inspired after seeing each of these women in their new mindsets because they are shown what amazing beauty they have with what they got (today, not 10-50 pounds from now.)

One of my favorite episodes is the one where this woman had 3 plastic surgeries already and was considering a 4th because she was still unhappy with her body. Of greater concern, she has teenage daughters and is concerned about how all her surgeries and body unhappiness will affect or has affected her girls. She wants to be a better role model to her daughters. After her time with Carson, this mom had a pretty significant turn around in her mindset, and the notion of another plastic surgery became a faint memory.

It goes to show that no amount of plastic surgery or focusing on the faults of your body is going to make you happy. All that joy has to come from within you, and when it does watch out! Va-va-voom! Finally, we have some inspiring TV content that features real women of all ages with real life issues we all can relate to. It's like a breathe of fresh air.
