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!
