Encouragement

So today I only have some encouraging words for you and hopefully it engages you to think clearly about who you are.  My words of encouragement are... BE EXTRAORDINARY.  Okay so what does this have to do with the 'beauty thing'?  TONS!!!!!  Beauty is not just the latest fashion, the hottest handbag and the most awesome makeup application imaginable. Beauty lies within, too.  Beauty emits from the inside out no matter what you look like.


The word extraordinary is composed of two words- extra and ordinary.  They both mean two different things but put together creates a totally different meaning.  According to Dictionary.com, extraordinary is used as an adjective and describes one to be "beyond what is usual, ordinary, regular or established" and "exceptional in character...noteworthy, remarkable".  Okay, enough with the English lesson.

Let me ask you something, are you just going along every day doing the same old thing?   Hopefully not, but if you are I want to encourage and challenge you to do something EXTRAORDINARY.  You are fully capable of it!  In a previous post I asked what you see in the mirror...now I ask if you see ordinary or EXTRAORDINARY?  You can do anything!  You can be more than what you are today.  You can take charge and write a blog about stuff you are passionate about.  You can help someone in need, be a true friend, live out loud, dance in the rain, feel good about you and be MORE than you are now.  Not to say that you are not, I'm not saying that, but could you do something that is "beyond what is usual"?  Do it for you, to create a sense of accomplishment and stamp a smile in your heart.  


I know that I am EXTRAORDINARY because I was created this way.  It took me a long time to believe that I was more than just plain, ordinary, vanilla me.  I now have this sense of urgency to live my dreams and do more than I have ever imagined because I am equipped to do so.  Believe that you are more than ordinary.   Be EXTRAORDINARY, Girlfriend.

What do you see?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  How many times have you heard that one?  Let me ask you a question...what do you see when you look in the mirror?  Do you see beauty?  If you had to think about it then let me give you some insight, you are beauty.  This flower is perfectly and wonderfully made in every way.  The curves, the color and the tiny details that make it so unique.  
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, therefore, when you look into the mirror you will see beauty.  Believe it girlfriend because I do.

Got Change?

So it's Monday and you're feeling kinda 'ehh'.  Well here are a few words of encouragement today:

• Change it up sista!
• You've got a smile that glows so paste it on your face for the day!
• Let your attitude be of gratitude today!
• Don't let anyone shake that confidence- JUST SHIMMY and keep doing your thang!
• Let your beautiful self shine and MAKE people notice it!

Beauty Tip: Clear gloss.  It will only enhance the already beautiful color of your lips!  Keep it in your purse for those 'gotta have something on my lips' kinda moments. I love Bobbi Brown clear gloss because the formula is not sticky.  What kind of gloss do you like?  

Yup, it's a clear gloss kinda day.  Make it a beautiful one Girlfriend!

Oh! stay tuned... I will be blogging on location and you will not believe where I will be!
