Day 27 and I'm Feeling Pretty

There are curtains days when I just don’t feel all that pretty. You may know what I’m talking about. But TODAY, there’s something in the air. As soon as I looked in the mirror and thought, “What will I BE today, as I count the days to my 40th birthday?” The response, which kind of shocked me to be honest, was, “I feel pretty.”

So I decided to go with it! On those days where I’m not feeling all that glamorous and need a little pick-me-up, here are a few things that I do:

• Get my nails done. Thanks Stephanie, my technician and counselor!

• Condition my hair.

• Shave my legs. (is that TMI? – just checking to see who is reading!)

• Dance around the house.

• Sing my favorite songs in the car.

• Wear lip gloss and earrings. Yes, I do this every day AND it works!

• Spend time with my faves. Today my son and I are taking in a movie. Free passes with popcorn, too!

• Acknowledge the abundance of good in my life.

• Update my blogs.

• Smile A LOT.

• Wear boots – skirt optional – I mean, if I’m not wearing a skirt, I will wear pants but still feel good about wearing boots. Whew!

• Exchange the flannels for something a little more, um, pretty.

Now, to rest my pretty eyes for the night! Ahhh…
