FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOURSELF

So I know I always take these long blog breaks. Thanks for always waiting whenever I get back my most beloved and loyal fans.

There is something that I really need to address with my ladies. First let me explain what I do for a living. I am a skincare and beauty consultant. I meet my clients mostly by going through my everyday life. I offer them a skincare consultation (which is free) and I teach them how to take care of their skin. One of the most common problems I find, is women telling me (with a smile on their faces) that they are low maintenance. What is there to smile about with that?

Ladies, ladies, ladies and especially those women who are seeking a significant other, there is a big problem with telling yourself that you are low maintenance. Because, just you telling yourself that sets the tone for how you will treat yourself. The way you dress, the way you wear your makeup ( and yes even Hally Berry needs some Revlon) everything will determine how you are treated and is telling of how highly you think of yourself.

Whenever I meet a woman who is proud of telling me she is "low maintenance" this is what I see, a woman who is screaming for me to assist her in falling in love with herself.

I don't always feel sexy and beautiful, but I have developed habits that dispel these feelings whenever they come around.

1. Take your skincare regimen seriously. Develop a skincare regimen and take the time to actively go through the routine on a daily basis. It's not only great for your skin but that "me time" is important to just focus on yourself and your needs. As you begin seeing your skin respond positively, you will feel more beautiful. Especially moms who are always busy with the little ones, "me time" should never be taken for granted. 
2. Get matching pairs of undies. So I know this sounds silly, but just getting that matching panty and bra set makes you feel so sexy on the inside and it really shows on the outside. I have found that whenever I feel confident regardless of how I look, I am always noticed. 
3. Tell yourself that you are being noticed. If you go through your day telling yourself that no one notices you, trust me, no one will notice you. I always tell myself that I am a show stopper and all eyes are on me whenever I walk down the street. I am always confident that someone is watching me with admiration. And whenever I tell myself that, its usually the case.
4. Put a little makeup on. Get yourself a personal beauty consultant or visit a beauty store and get the right foundation and blush (never forget to blush), and a mascara for your face. I always say, " a little blush on the face, keeps radiance in place". I use a bronzer as a blush and I absolutely love it.
5. You hair is so your beauty. (this is where I tend to drop the ball) It is so important to make sure that your hair is on point at all times. It just makes you look and feel beautiful. 
6. Exercise, I really need to take my work out regimen to another level. Size, weight, dieting is such a very sensitive issue. Ladies, exercise is important first and foremost to keep you healthy, not to loose weight. Which ties into living a holistic lifestyle. Its so important to become more conscious of what you eat and how you eat. Interestingly enough when you begin putting your best foot forward, you begin feeling good about your overall self. 
7. Find someone whose style you admire, maybe a celebrity or follow a fashion blog and get ideas on how to mix and match your outfits. Begin dressing the part of someone who knows and feels confident and comfortable in their own skin. Overtime, you will become that person.  

These are just a few of the things that I have done to raise my self confidence that have taken me from "feeling like I'm low maintenance" to "knowing that I am high maintenance" type of chick.

One Love
