Saturday Selfie 25/30

By

This is not my typical selfie. I took it yesterday when I finished meditating and I’m sharing it with you today as a reminder to slow down and breathe. It’s a hectic time of year and taking care of ourselves should always come first but so often does not. If you can sit still and just breathe every morning – even if it’s only for 5 minutes – it will set an entirely different tone to your day.

Try it. Don’t worry if your mind wanders. Don’t worry if you feel fidgety. Don’t worry if 5 minutes feels like 5 hours. Just sit. Just breathe.

Trust me.

Selfie Saturday 18/30

For today’s Selfie Saturday I’m doing a bit of shameless promoting of my side hustle, LipSense. Ya’all know I wear it and I sell it because I believe it’s a fantastic product. Here are 3 looks from last weekend in Gettysburg.

This one is Violette, a beautiful pink that is great for every day wear.

This one is Fly Girl, a gorgeous red, perfect for the upcoming holidays. And a great match for that hat, too.

And this one is Hazelnut, a light brown neutral, it’s perfect for fall.

If you’re interested in these colors (they are $25 each) or any of the other 50 amaaaaaaazing shades, just let me know, I’d be glad to get you started with a LipSense collection of your own.

It’s Selfie Saturday and it’s also Veteran’s Day. Soooooo, how about a selfie with my favorite veteran?

You’ve seen this before since it’s from back in September but still, it bears repeating.

In the interest of being up to date, though, this is how he looked last Friday night at our family gala. Stronger and healthier every day for which we are so so grateful. And, word is, my favorite veteran will be home and living next door again super soon. That means an updated selfie for sure!

Selfie Saturday 4/30

You know, I’ve never been one for taking a lot of selfies. BUT. When you start selling make up and you do most of your sales through social media, guess what? You need to learn to take good selfies. And lots of ’em because people want to see the makeup on the person they know. And, in this case, that person is me.

So, for the next few Saturdays, I’m going to share a selfie. Or maybe even two.

Selfie Saturday. Sweeping the nation, just you wait and see.

Sunday Selfie

Well. Here we are, the last Sunday Selfie post. I can’t say I’m sad to be done with this because blogging can sometimes feel like work and I try very hard not to work on the weekends.

That said, posting a selfie each week has been good for me. Good for me to see myself as I am, maybe even good for you to see me as I am. I try to be completely truthful here and there’s nothing quite as truthful as an unretouched selfie. All those flaws, the wrinkles and curves and grey hairs, they are all right there. But so are the good things, the smiles and smirks, the bright eyes and look of happiness and contentment.

Because, ultimately, that’s my goal: to be happy and content. And I am. Sometimes even when I’m posting a selfie.
