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!

How To Layer Clothes for Fall: Avoid Looking Like a Bag Lady

When the temperature drops, it’s all about pumpkin spice and layering.

Layering your clothing is a tried and true way to maximize your comfort in the outdoors.

Layering is a technique.

BEWARE

“There is a fine line between layering and looking like the homeless woman who is wearing everything she owns!” (The Fashionating Life Formula: How to Build Your Self-Confidence)

The Biggest Mistake I see women making when they layer their clothes is looking bigger than they really are.

Here is the Secret to Layering:

Pick items that are varying lengths.

When your clothes are all the same length, they are going to look too puffy.

A jacket, sweater & shirt that are all different lengths will help you avoid this and create a much slimmer style.

Tell me… is your appearance important to you?  Are you projecting the look you want or are your clothes boring with no real sense of style?

Finally, How many times have you said “No” to an activity or social event due to low confidence?

If you want to be more confident but don’t know how, I have a book for you.

Seven Lipstick Shades for Every Woman’s Mood

Give a woman the right lipstick and she can conquer the world” – Marilyn Monroe

Don’t you agree?

A great lipstick color can boost your confidence and uplift your mood.  Makeup, like fashion, is an outlet of self expression – and that’s one of the best things I love about it!

I usually pick my lipstick color depending on my mood.

Here are seven lipstick shades that can fit every woman’s mood and look:

1)Red 

It is a makeup essential to own a gorgeous red lipstick.  If you want to feel confident, red is the color for you.   (Marilyn)

2)Nude

I wear a nude lip when I’m sporting smokey eyes, or when I want to downplay my makeup yet still look fresh.  A nude lip color can lean on the pink, coral or brown side.  Find one that compliments your skin tone, not too light that will make you look as pale as a ghost.  (Pure)

3)Burgandy

Yes, everyone needs a good deep red lipstick but when you want to feel sophisticated, try this color.  It is perfect when paired with sleek hair and winged liner.  (Pomegranate)

4)Pink

If you feel dainty and fresh, go for a pink color that matches your skin tone.  Pink has a way of making us look youthful and healthy, especially when paired with matching pink blush.  (Blissful)

5)Coral

When the sun is out and its warm rays glimmer outdoors, coral is the way to go.  It totally makes sense to match your lippie to the weather!  (Spontaneous)

6)Neon Pink

When you are feeling extra happy and cheerful, swipe on some bright neon pink lipstick!  You’ll feel as bright as sunshine so don’t be surprised if everyone you meet flashes you a smile!  (Fierce)

7)Deep Plum

Tired of making a statement with red lipstick?  If you are feeling rebellious, go for a deep plum color.  It is eye catching, yet still fun and pretty to wear!  It is a very versatile color as it can take you from day to night.  (First Avenue)

Wearing lipstick is an amazing mood enhancer.

Once you find the perfect shade, you’ll love it forever for the way it brightens your face and makes you look amazing.
