So I think you are all such great followers. Do you know that? I love hearing your emails and comments. Some have moved me to tears with how you had "given up" and not felt like you had the time to put any effort into "you". Trust me when I say that I have been in your shoes. I have woken up with two little boys, not had time to do ANYthing to or for myself and had no car to get around (we still only have one) so I figured, why get ready? What a WASTE of product when no one will see me. I barely even saw my husband during the years of working and going to school full time. I would be in bed most nights before he got home. I remember back to a time where I was counseled to look my best to
feel my best. It didn't mean being overly shallow and obsessing about what I looked like on the outside. It means getting out of bed, knowing that you are important to not only your family but to someone who has a perfect love and wants to see you happy. For me that is my Heavenly Father and my Savior Jesus Christ. I am sorry if this offends anyone who isn't spiritual but it is who I am and I love what my faith offers me =). I know that I am important and it makes a difference when thinking about my inner
and outer appearance. It's not rocket science to know that if you get out at least 3 times a week to exercise, even if it's not that strenuous, your body will thank you! Endorphins will be released leaving you happy and healthy. Washing your face every night will make you feel clean and will keep your face clear. Eating healthily will keep you energized and will help with clear skin. For those of you that are moms, set aside time for yourself to do a five minute "face" so that you feel ready to face the day. It could be the five minutes before your hubby gets home but make the time to feel pretty. I've been trying something new that I want to share. First off, I miss going to work (somewhat LOL) because I got dressed up, put makeup on and I felt a part of something...a team! What I have been doing is saying to myself Monday Wednesday and Friday are my "work days". I get up a bit earlier, put on my makeup and a nice casual outfit. Being a mom is my "job" so I plan activities, projects and meetings with my "team" (even if the attention span isn't the same LOL). My days off are for SURE earned and I wear sweats and no makeup if I feel like it =). I want you to know that each and every one of you is worth MILLIONS!!!!! Take the time to pat yourself on the back for the good that you do, the projects you either finish or even
attempt to finish. Strive to be the type of person that everyone loves being around and you will be beautiful inside and out.
