MOGUL Gift Ideas: Birchbox.com

Gift giving is often more task than delight, so having a few good ideas thrown at you this time of year can’t hurt. Birchbox.com has been flying high on the radar as of late. Their specialty is monthly deliveries of new beauty products for both women…and men. This wasn’t too exciting at first, after all,how many men really want to sift through shaving cream choices each month? Have no fear, they’ve got tons of other stuff…and most of all, it’s unique stuff worthy of a Mogul!

Not only will He-Moguls find some great ideas to make his special someone feel “special”, but he may even find a few things to add to his very own Letter To Santa. She-Moguls will find such Birchbox favorites as a  lip gloss whose color is triggered by her individual pH balance. That means that 5 women could apply the same lip gloss…and all end up with different colored lips. How’s that for Mogul-esque?!

The Mathematics of Beauty

The Fibonacci Sequence is a sequence of numbers where each number is the sum of the previous two—i.e., 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34…and so on to infinity. The ratio of one number to the next is approximately 1.61803, which is called “phi”, or the Golden Ratio. It’s not a magical mathematical equation of the universe, but it definitely reflects natural, aesthetically b

eautiful patterns. The ratio been used as the ideal proportion standard by artists and architects throughout history, and it’s also found in nature because it’s one of the most efficient way to pack things together. The human body can mostly be divided up in terms of the golden ratio, with one nose, two eyes, three segments to each limb, five fingers on each hand, and our measurements and proportions also reflect the ratio, especially the proportions of the human face—the width of the nose, position of the eyes, length of the chin. Our attraction to another person increases if their body and features are symmetrical and proportional, since we perceive them to be healthier, and so the Golden Ratio appears to be connected with humans’ ideals of beauty. It’s worth noting, however, that although the ratio can create a beautiful face, it can’t create a beautiful mind.
