In like a Lion.....out like a Lamb!!!!

Are you a lion or a lamb???  Happy March everyone!  Only 20 days until the official start of spring, & I’m sure, for most of us, it can’t come soon enough!!  It’s so easy to get into a rut or feel depressed at this time of year.  To avoid feeling like a lion, there are a few things you should remember to alleviate that feeling.  I consider myself a positive person.  For me the “glass is always half full” (yet for those who know me well, that glass is usually a wine glass!!  Ha, ha!!), “things could always be worse” or “let’s look on the bright side” or the old standard, “when life gives you lemons…add vodka!!"  are usually what comes to my mind first.

Remember beauty is not just what you put on your face.  Your mental outlook will always affect the way you look.  If you’re “in a good place” it will show on your beautiful face.  With that said, to maintain a positive outlook, do something for yourself!!!!  Whatever it may be!!   I like to call it a “special treat”!!  Take an afternoon & do something to get away even if for only an hour.  If you like to shop, go out to a store that you always say you want to check out.  Just browse, no pressure, no need to spend any money.  Just go out & look around, get ideas for fashion or home.  If it’s exercise you may never find time for, plan a morning or afternoon & take a class or go for a walk with your iPod on.  Music is a great mood enhancer.  Your favorite tunes on a nice afternoon or at the gym will definitely raise your spirits.  It has been an awful winter, but now is the time we do squeak out an unseasonably warm day to get outside and take advantage of it.  If getting together with your friends is a “special treat”, plan it & grab a lunch special.  A nice visit with friends will be the perfect prescription for curing the winter blues!!!

Now that spring is just around the corner, what might raise your spirits is treating yourself to some new beauty colors.  Look out, because orange & pink are hot colors for spring along with purple/lavender.  Go out & try a new shadow or gloss.  That’s one of my “favoritest” things!!!

Remember one thing, while it’s still cold & dry out, you need to exfoliate & moisturize.  Not even a new color will look nice if you don’t take care of your skin first.  Your face is a canvas & that canvas needs to be taken care of before we treat it.  That is the first and number one rule of beauty is good skin care!!!

Exfoliating twice a month is a good rule of thumb.  Following with a daily skincare routine of wash, tone & moisturize will create your perfect canvas.  Mary Kay’s “Miracle Set” is just that, all in one place!!!  A wash with tiny beads to exfoliate daily, with toner built in.  A day solution with SPF 25, a light moisturizer & a night solution filled with vitamin beads.  Love, love, love it!!!  Check out my website & give it a try.  That can be your “special treat” for yourself this month.  You will see positive results and will have given your winter skin a “special treat” and turn yourself into a lamb for spring.
