When I was younger I had no self-esteem. You know how some girls are just natrually good at doing their hair and make-up and always know just the right things to wear? Yeah, I was not one of those girls. I didn't know how to dress, I sucked at doing my make-up, and don't even get me started on my hair! The point is I wish I knew then what I know now about fashion, about hair products, but mostly about the truth to being beautiful.
I have learned so much since I was a teenager. When I was still in highschool I used to think that I just wasn't a pretty girl. I would look at the girls who I thought were really pretty and they were all really skinny, had blonde hair, blue eyes, and always looked perfect. I'm sure you know those kinds of girls. Now I on the other hand was never like super skinny. I'm like pear shaped, like skinny up top but bigger around the butt and thighs. I have dark brown hair, with brown eyes plus it didn't help that I also had to deal with other crappy things that come along with being a teenager like break outs, and braces. I remember one day I was really upset about the way I looked, that after school I went to talk to my older brother who gave me some of the best piece of advice that I had ever gotten and still remember to this day. He said "You know what your problem is? You think that there is only one kind of beautiful and you're wrong! There's lots of different kinds of beautiful." He was right. I now know that everyone is beautiful in their own way. I've also learned that what makes you the most beautiful is how you feel about yourself. I've come a long way, but I'm proud to say that I now am really good at doing my make-up. I've got some great products that I use on my hair and skin that work great:) and I adore my new wardrobe. But remember being beautiful isn't just about how you look it's also about how you feel. Here are some of my tips to help you boost self-esteem and feel good about yourself on the inside: Tip # 1: Get a hobby: Find something that you really enjoy doing, and do more of it. It can be a sport, a club, or just something you can do on your free time. I used to dance and I loved it! I'm also really into scrapbooking. I love putting the pages together and adding my own unique touch to it. Tip # 2: Take classes: No matter what kind of classes you take. You can take classes at the gym like yoga, or classes at a community college, or classes to get a certificate in something. You will feel so good doing it. I have taken so many different classes and I've really enjoyed them. I feel like I've gotten a lot out of them. I've learned a lot and I just like staying busy. Tip # 3: Eat healthy: When you eat better, you feel better. When you eat like crap, you feel like crap. Drink lots of water, eat a lot of fruits and veggies. Try to lay off of the cookies and donuts. It's ok to have a little snack every once and a while though:) Tip # 4: Work out: I always feel great after a good work out. Working out gives you energy and confidence. Try to work out at least 3 times a week. Even if you just go for a walk half an hour 3 nights a week. every little bit counts:) Tip #5: Treat yourself: It always makes you feel good to go out a buy something new for yourself. You can go shopping for new clothes, or go out and get your nails done. You can even go get some frozen yogurt for yourself:) Anything that makes you happy:) Tip #6: Listen to upbeat music: When I'm listening to positive music I feel so happy. I just wanna get up and dance, spin around and jump up and down with joy:) One of my favorite songs for feeling good is "Queen for the night" by Amanda Claire Jones. I always feel good after hearing that song:) Hope These tips help:) Remember that you are beautiful, and that happy girls are the prettiest:) xoxo

I have been in some of the worst relationships that you can imagine. I was with the wrong people for the wrong reasons simply because it seemed easier at the time. I dated guys who were really into me but I just didn't feel that way about them. I thought I could make myself fall in love with them, I thought that they could grow on me, but now I know better. I hope that if you are reading this right now and you are having guy problems Please, Please Please listen to what I have to say and take my advice! You will save yourself from a lot of pain and wasted time. The first thing you have to know is that if you like a guy and he just doesn't feel the same way about you, it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with you! When I was younger I used to get so mad if a guy didn't like me back. I would think "Well What's wrong with me?" "Why Doesn't he like me?" "Am I not pretty enough?" "Are my boobs not big enough?" etc..... The answer is none of the above. If a guy is just not into you, it doesn't mean he thinks badly of you. The simple reason is this: Some times you click with people and some times you don't. It's the same with any kind of relationship. Even with choosing our friends. Have you ever hung out with someone and you guys just didn't really have that much in common and it was kind of awkward and you didn't really make an attemped to try to hang out with them again? It's just like that. If a guy doesn't like you like that just let him go, and leave room for the one who will:) The second thing you need to know is that if a guy likes you and you don't feel the same way don't try to force something that isn't meant to be. I was so fed up with guys hurting me that I thought that if I was with a guy who was really into me that at least I wouldn't get hurt. I did not like him the way that he liked me though, and that kind of relationship never works out. You may have to wait longer and kiss a lot of toads along the way until you find your prince, but trust me it's better to wait then to waste time in a bad relationship that isn't going anywhere. Find that great relationship where the feelings are mutual and you both are together because you want to be together:) The last thing is Don't try to be something you're not. Some times when you really want someone to like you, you try to act a certian way, or dress a certian way, or go places you wouldn't normally go. The right guy should love and respect you for you. Don't try so hard. Don't be afraid to talk about things you really like even if you think someone else may find it corny, Don't be afraid to have your own opinion about things. Just be you:) I'd also like to add that even though I had to go through a lot of heart break and pain, I did end up meeting a great guy. A guy I have been with for almost 10 months now:) And my guy makes all those other guys that I used to like before look like a bunch of losers. I hope you guys will take this advice:) Best of luck to you in your journey to find true love xoxo. Everyone knows that any job can be a stressful place to work. But there are things you can do to have a better work experience:) Here are a few of those tips: Tip # 1. Keep Your Personal life Out of The workplace: I know some times you wanna be friends with the people you may work with, and that's fine, but try to really get to know them in and outside of work first. You never know who might get annoyed at you and then use your personal information against you. If you wanna talk to them you can talk to them about work related stuff, common intrests like if you both are really into a certian tv show, or if you both are really into working out etc, movies you've both seen, weekend plans, and anything else that isn't personal. Things Never to talk about at work are family problems, relationship problems, health issues, and stuff like that. Tip # 2. Try Not To Talk About A Co-Worker Behind Their Back To Another Co-Worker: I know this one is really hard to do because some times our co-workers can get on our nerves, and let's face it we are all humans. We all get upset, we all need to vent some times which is normal. If you do need to vent try to vent outside the workplace. Vent to your friends or family about the issue. If you vent at work you never know if that person may go back and tell them what you said, or someone else may overhear your conversation. Tip # 3. Try Not to Take Things Too Personally: I know this can be a hard one to follow too, because when a boss or a co-worker is giving you a hard time and they really just seem like they're annoyed by you how can you not take it personally? Some times people have other things going on in their life, things that have nothing to do with you and they are so stressed out about that one thing that it doesn't take much to annoy them. Try to be as nice as you can be to everyone, even when it's hard. if someone you work with seems overly stressed out it's always nice to bring them a cup of coffee or a sweet treat from starbucks:) Little kindnesses go a long way:) Tip # 4. Be Humble: This is a hard one too, because not many people like to admit when they are wrong about something. Everyone makes mistakes and no one is perfect. Just remember it's ok to be wrong some times. Don't try to agrue your way out of something by blaming it on someone else. Some times you just got to take the fault and move on.
Tip # 5. Keep a Sense of Humor: When things get stressful don't lose your temper or overreact, instead try to make a joke out of it. Try to bring some humor to the situation. Stay positive, stay focus, you know you can do it. As long as you are in a good place you are in control, when you get mad or upset you let stress win and take over. Hope these tips help:) Good Luck out there xoxo |
