Revamp my image

I love my new peacoat that my hubby and son gave me. It’s so chic and classy looking, and comfy, too. They also got me stretchy fuzzy pink gloves (my fave color!) and now I’m going to add my OOAK Bridal Bliss scarf that I made, and had for sale in my Etsy shop, but I eventually pulled it because I’m in love with it. It’s so romantic, and pretty and original (if I do say so myself) and it’ll make me smile every time I wear it. And who knows? Other people may fall in love with it too when they see me wearing it, and it could lead to some new business!!
I need to redo my nails and pluck my brows and I’m really itching to color my hair SOON. I like the length of my hair right now, and last night I washed, blow dried, and straightened it and used a bit of shine serum. :) I wish I had time to do that every day.
I also want to go shopping really soon and add some more staple items to my wardrobe, and return the one pair of shoes I purchase recently—they just aren’t working for me after all.

got some cute clothes for Christmas, and some new pink sparkly nail polish, and other cosmetics. I painted my nails a sheer sparkly pink, and today I did a face mask.

I plan to do some exercise later, and if I work on my room like I ought to, I will probably find some cute outfits I can wear for the week.

I bought new shoes finally, that are sort of like suede Mary Jane pumps. I think that socks even look fine with them, so they’re keepers, however I’m wearing them today and one of them makes noise when I walk! Grr!

On a better note, I bought a cute 3/4 sleeve sweater that hooks up at my collar and sort of floats away from the rest of the body- It’s not too heavy/thick/bulky, which is awesome, and I think it’ll be a great layering piece, and the best part is—it’s reversible! So it’s like adding two new items to my wardrobe! :) I’ll probably wear it tomorrow!

I washed my hair really well last night, and then shaved my legs, clipped my toenails and put scented lotion on my legs.

This morning, I put foundation on. Didn’t have time for anything else make-up wise, but just having that on makes me feel less self-conscious.

My co-worker and friend, Jamie, said I looked beautiful this morning!

took a shower, blow dried my hair, & put on a little make up.

Last night I plucked my brows, which really needed it, and did a facial mask. This morning I made sure my outfit was cute (at least in my opinion) and I put my contacts in and so far have put foundation on. I’ll add to my make-up throughout the day. :)

I finally tried a beauty trick I’ve been meaning to try- took about a teaspoon of baking soda and mixed it with my shampoo, and boy did it make my hair look nice!! It took out the build up that I always feel is there (even right after washing it).

I’ll definitely try to do this one more often—box says to do it weekly, so I’ll probably do it every weekend.

Can’t wait to try it the face-washing tip with baking soda now and see what it can do for my troubled skin!

I got a cute haircut. Always helps, eh?

Admittedly, though, I haven’t focused on this goal in some time.

I really need to get some new shoes and pants SOON. I wish I could find some shoes that I absolutely loved. Both cute and comfortable would be great! And then I’d buy one in every color. LOL Good shoes are hard (for me anyway) to find these days.

I tried something new last night that I had read about—it’s simple, but with great results!

You just take some used coffee grounds (which we ALWAYS have in my house!) and use them as a facial scrub. It’s probably too harsh to use daily, but weekly would be great. I actually noticed a difference in my skin right away both last night after I rinsed and when I woke up this morning. I think it not only sloughs off dead skin cells, but I think the coffee’s acid content is great for skin, too. Will definitely try this again!!

I wore a skirt yesterday and got a compliment from hubby and my co-worker Lori. That is all. But, that’s a step in the right direction. I’m trying to become more comfortable with my body. I actually wore shorts much of the weekend, too, which I haven’t done in a LONG time. I guess this is progress.
