Celebrate Yourself!

I will make up any reason to give myself a mini makeover.

I recently had a job interview and got my hair cut and my nails done.

I’ll get all dolled up when I’m invited out or to a special event.

Sometimes I’ll take weekend errands as an opportunity to dress up.

This time when my co-workers decided to throw me a little going away soiree/meet-up, I dyed my hair.

I’d wanted to go lighter for the hotter months anyway and so I did.

It's going to take some getting used to. 

I tried to hurry and get dressed so I could make use of the sunlight.

No such luck.

So I decided to brave myself portraits with whatever light I was allotted and hope for the best.

{This is just another reason why I want another lens.

In due time.}

On another note, I learned why it’s not ok to use social media to be nosey.

You might find something that you don’t want to see.

What I saw made me question some things.

But the past is the past.

I try not to compare my life with others’ but live and let live.

I try not to pay too much attention to things I perceive as personal flaws [unless they are stunting my personal growth], but relish in my strengths and talents.

I try to celebrate myself every chance I get! If I don’t whom else will?

…And if something as small as changing my hair color and putting on a new outfit helps me feel special, then I’m going to do it!
