What would Aphrodite do? - News - Greek Gateway
We could all learn a thing or two from Aphrodite, our beloved Greek goddess of love,
beauty, and sexuality. Infinitely wiser and more gorgeous than any other deity in all of
history (we think so anyway), this eternally young sex bomb is someone we can’t help
but go gaga for.
And so, in an effort to help you emulate the effortlessly beautiful, naturally ageless
radiance of this chic chick, we here at Greek Gateway have created a new forum to dish
out a weekly dose on all things related to beauty, health, and fashion that she’d totally
approve of. With her spiritual guidance, we’re here to help you be the best version of
yourself – so fine and fabulous you’ll be making mouths drop in no time.

HOT HATS:
Hats serve many purposes. More than just protection from the elements for farmers and/or
fishermen, they are a great form of self-expression and perfect for creating a wide range of
unique looks and styles.
Greeks are all too familiar with this fabulous accessory. In fact, the first real hat – the
broad-rimmed
petasos
– was invented in ancient Greece as a form of protection from the sun and rain, ideal for people
who did a lot of work in the outdoors.
