Your welcome Terrylee. For anyone who hasn't read this blog post I'm posting it below:
I Feel Like A Woman
I really like the song I Feel Like A Woman-by Shania Twain. To me it's a celebration song. I've been using it as a theme song lately as I look for ways to signify and celebrate being a woman.
The theme words I've been concentrating on lately are soft/soften. I'm finding ways to be softer(not weak). It could be remembering to soften my voice, no need to yell. It could be lotions and sprays to soften my body. It might be stopping long enough to take a few deep breathes to relax and soften the energy(vibe) I'm sending out.
We've discovered a new(to us) lotion and body spray. It's called Vanilla Raspberry, it's a Simply Body brand. It smells soooooo good. We've used it this past week in our manicures and pedicures(body wash here). And on our legs, arms and face-after a home facial.
Speaking of facials let me tell you about a simple home facial we found on the net. Take a favorite soap, body wash(this is what we used) or shampoo lather your face with it. Then get about a teaspoon of sugar in your hand. Work it in a circular motion around your face(don't get in your eyes it will burn there) in the lather. Let set for a couple of minutes then rinse your face with warm water to remove soap and sugar. Then rinse face with cold water and apply moisturizer. Can be done a couple of times a week. Our faces felt so soft after the facial.
I'm more a jeans and tee girl but I'm working on that too. At the event we worked yesterday I wore my blue jeans skirt and blouse. I was afraid I'd wouldn't be comfortable in a skirt but with all the things I've been doing to celebrate and soften me I was extremely comfortable in my own skin YAY-ME.
I've had to be tough and deal with alot of things in my life. So I think I had more of the belief that showing my feminine side meant showing weakness. I'm learning being feminine and soft DOES NOT mean weak. Believe me I can still be tough but I'm learning when to be.
Celebrate being a woman and have fun doing it.
