5 Easy Ways to Look More Beautiful

Looking great can be difficult.

Why?

Well, for starters, because people say that it’s futile (useless), superficial (trivial) and superfluous (nonessential).

So, although I’m sure you don’t care (a lot) about what other people think ;), I bet you can’t help but ask: “Am I doing the right thing with my time and money?”

I’d like to help you respond that yes, you are.

Spending time (and money) on your appearance makes you feel important and worthy. {tweet it}

Isn’t that useful, meaningful and even essential ;)?

It shows (to you and everybody else) that you take care and love yourself.

On the other side, when you don’t spend that time making yourself look cute, you feel neglected, tired and even depressed.

I learned this the hard way, when I was home looking after my 3 amazing kids, but I keep learning, even now…

That’s why I want you to be able to invest in the way you look without feeling guilty!

So, here are the…

5 Easy Ways to Look More Beautiful

1. Take the Time to Create Gorgeous Outfits

Remember when you were a little girl? Making outfits was something creative and fun. And it can be again! Just take the time to create gorgeous outfit and have fun with it.

2. Style Your Hair

You don’t need to go to the hairdresser every week (although that’s a great idea – think of it has a relaxing moment, just like going to a spa). With the right products and brushes you hair can look pretty good every day, with almost no effort at all. And in those really bad hair days, do a pony tail ;)

3. Apply Makeup

Applying make up can be a shore or a fun part of your day, too. The upside? It will take you from blah to WOW in a quick instant ;) (and your energy too…)

4. Go Shopping

Give yourself permission to shop. Yes, I know there’s a crisis going on, but you still buy clothes for your kids (or other stuff), right? Well, you can buy some for you too. Consider it an investment in your happiness (and a happy mom is one of the thing kids most need ;)).

5. Don’t Feel Guilty

Bad feelings give you wrinkles ;) Now seriously, don’t feel guilty about taking the time to look beautiful. Instead, see it as one of the most fun and important activities of your day, because it REALLY is!

Here’s a challenge for this week

Buy something cute for you, without any plan. Just buy the most gorgeous piece in one of your favourite stores. I’m sure you won’t regret it! Then you can share a photo of your new piece (or your complete outfit) in facebook.

Have a beautiful week :)
