PROOF: A Bad Hair Day = Low Self Esteem (and wine)

Having a bad hair day affects MORE than just your appearance.

My hair appointment is long OVER DUE and it set the tone for my day.

First, I felt UGLY so I didn’t go to church.  (I didn’t want anyone to see me.)

Then, I tried to film some training videos for my YOUTUBE Channel, but after one hour of brushing and teasing the sh*t out of my hair;

and not liking the way I looked, sounded or felt – I SCRATCHED that whole idea – and had a glass of wine.

(Behind the Scenes of my Bad Hair Day)

 

We’ve all been there.  A bad hair day which progresses into a day where everything goes wrong.  Why?

Researchers at Yale University found that bad hair INTENSIFIES feelings of social insecurity and self consciousness.

They found that “bad hair days” IMPACT self esteem by increasing levels of self doubt and personal criticism. (Oh, if you could have heard the nasty things I was saying to myself! X&%#$!)

The findings of this study indicate that it is important to MAINTAIN a good appearance in order to CONTINUE feeling good about yourself.

 

I KNOW this stuff!  I TEACH this stuff to my clients.

I tell them:  If you haven’t received a COMPLIMENT on your hair in the past two weeks, it’s time to cut it, color it or buy some more.

So what can you do to PREVENT bad hair days?

  1.  Visit your stylist and have your hair cut in a style that is flattering and easy to maintain.
  2. Make your NEXT appointment when you are there! (That’s the KEY!  If you do THIS – you’re golden!)

In my own defense, I do have a hair appointment in two days – but I will probably be HIDING and LESS PRODUCTIVE until my mane is groomed, primped and fixed up – PROOF that a bad hair day really affects our success, happiness and prosperity!

Finally, Since I didn’t actually film any training videos today…   Here is a FREE 16pt. Accessory Rule to HELP you LOOK and FEEL your Best!

P.S. (Please SHARE this Post on facebook to help put an end to BAD HAIR DAYS once and for all!!!)

Have a beautiful day!

3 Hacks to Help You Snatch the Perfect Handbag

Women get more pleasure from buying a handbag than any other item, a survey has revealed.

Handbags are the accessory that we use the MOST and they NEED to go with every outfit so there is a lot of satisfaction in finding the PERFECT bag.

Three Hacks to Help You Snatch the Perfect Handbag

  1. Match your handbag to your hair.  It’s impossible to have your bag match every outfit you own, but you always have your hair with you – so match your handbag with your hair!
  2. Wear the right size for your frame.  If your frame is small, wear a small bag.  If your frame is medium, wear a medium bag.  If your frame is large, wear a large bag.
  3. Carry your bag correctly.  Your bag should hang at your waist.  If you have large hips, don’t let your bag lay on the side of your hips.  If you have a large bust, tuck your bag behind you.

BONUSYour bag should REFLECT your Personal Style.  

(Fringe is on trend!)

For many women, handbags are the most EXPENSIVE items on our shopping list.  Using the three hacks above will ENSURE that you are making a wise investment. $ $ $

Your HANDBAG is only ONE of your accessories.

Closet Confessions: 3 Key Points for Taking Control of Your Closet

Show me your closet & I’ll tell you four things about YOU!

Did you know that your garbage man and your mailman can tell what type of family lives at your house based on your garbage and your mail?

Is your recycle bin full of empty beer bottles and pizza boxes?  Diapers or Depends?  Mail box filled with over due bills or fashion magazines?

You get the picture.  It’s the same thing with your closet.  It’s a reflection of who you are. *

CLOSET OVERSTUFFED but NOTHING TO WEAR?

Most people only wear 20 percent of their wardrobe.  Why?

Fads.

Yep, chasing fads, making random purchases without a lot of forethought or planning and then nothing to wear on Monday morning.

They have a closet full of fads but they don’t really feel comfortable in any of them.

They haven’t successfully identified their Signature Look, so instead they fill their closet with the latest fashions – but still end up wearing the same 2-3 outfits each week.

 

Is this YOU?  (It used to be me)

Here are Three Key Points to consider when clothes shopping:

  1.  Only buy clothes that are your COLOR; so you LOOK radiant and refreshed not washed out and exhausted.
  2. Only buy clothes that fit your BODY TYPE; so you FEEL comfortable and look confident.
  3. Only buy clothes that are your PERSONAL STYLE; so you are best expressing your personality.

I ENCOURAGE you to take control of your closet and implement these KEY points to ensure that you LOOK your BEST.

Three Ways to Strengthen Your Brand With Your Style

Every day you make the decision to get out of bed, get dressed and step outside.  So fortunately, every day you have the opportunity to strengthen your brand.

Did you know that your clothes are the most powerful non-verbal tool that you have?

That means that your clothes are your power tools and your closet is like your tool box.

Style is “self expression”

Style is how you speak to the world without words.  It’s how you visually present your inner self.

Being stylish is about embracing your individuality and radiating that spirit in your work, relationships, and everywhere else.

Creating your own personal brand can increase your self-confidence and your connection with others, heightening your presence and ultimately leading to personal and professional success.

Here are three ways to use beauty and fashion as tools of self-expression to create your own personal brand.

1. Do your hair.

Your hair is your crowning glory.  Your most important accessory.  Pick a style that reflects your personality, complements your face shape and your body frame.

2. Makeup your face.

Makeup enhances your natural beauty.  You don’t need to wear a full face of makeup (unless you want to) but a little mascara makes your eyes look captivating + the right color lipstick will boost your mood and make your eyes sparkle.

3. Put some thought into your outfit.

Think three pieces.   A top, a bottom and a cover piece (i.e., jacket, cardigan, vest) – it’s that third element that bumps up your outfit to the next level and truly expresses your personal brand.

I want to encourage you to put your best self together (do your hair, makeup your face, and put some thought into your outfit).

IMAGINE how you would feel if you had a wardrobe that excited you and made you shine?

When you walk into a room I want you to feel self-assured and comfortable about how you look, because your clothes accurately support and express who you are.

When you feel good about the way you look, you do better, you sparkle and people take notice.

You already have style – it may just need a little guidance.
