My Morning Routine: GRWM (Get Ready With Me)

Confession: I’m a morning person. Yep, I know several of you reading right now are rolling your eyes while others are giving me a virtual high-five… but it’s true. I’ve always been a morning pop tart rising before my family. I understand now that not everyone starts their morning at the same time as I do, but we all have to eventually get up and get going. Those first few hours are important if you want to lay a foundation for a positive, productive, and intentional day.

Speaking of being productive and intentional - if you haven’t signed up for my newsletter you must do so now!

Eye Essentials for Everyday Makeup

I’ve always been a big believer that makeup should enhance not hide your features! A little swipe of eyeshadow or a touch of mascara adds emphasis on the eyes without them looking overdone. I love creating simple eye looks that are easy to apply and add just the right amount of glamour. Right now you can grab five of my favorite eye products on sale for 49% off through October 31st! Such a steal! All of the products are backed with a 14-day love it guarantees and is made without parabens, gluten, or animal products. They have 12-hour wear and best of all don’t make my eyes itch like other brands! You can pick from several shades of liquid shadows that can also double on eyes, lips, or cheeks. I have been wearing the color Decisive on repeat these days with my favorite 4D mascara. For an added bonus pair with a fall lipstick to complete the look!

Wearing Confidence

A few years back I went through a period of time where I was really shy. Growing up we traveled all over and I was constantly the new kid. It was so embarrassing to eat lunch alone until I made friends. Later on, I struggled with anxiety and found social interactions intimidating all over again. I started working on better lifestyle habits and slowly gained more and more confidence. Just about that time a friend of mine reached out and introduced me to the most amazing mascara. I partnered with a company and immediately was plugged into a team of girls who really cheered me on! We became fast friends over Facebook and they would give me encouragement when I posted! I had no idea how much I needed that in my life and am forever grateful.

Transformation is an Inside Job

Transformation is an inside job. You can have, be or do anything in life. Often people think if I had a better home, or relationship or life I’d be a better person or at least a happier person... I know I did... But happiness can’t come from exterior circumstances. True joy is a process that starts from the inside. I learned this over the past three years of my life. Two years ago to this month I had my very first psychiatrist visit after a series of panic attacks that wouldn’t subside. I remember walking into that office and wanting answers to many questions I had about what I was feeling.
