I've learned a few things in the last several months, in no particular order:
- I'm stronger than I ever imagined. I have cojones twice the size of some who have me beat by age and "experience".
- I can make any place cozy, comfortable and visually appealing.
- Health and safety always beats everything else. If you don't have health and safety, nothing else matters.
- Not everything good has to be expensive, and not everything expensive is worth the price.
- Longer hair is easier to blow dry than shorter hair. Flowy hair allows for a curl or volume...but shorter hair makes you look like a big disaster if your hair doesn't fall the right way.
- The left side of my head has more gray than my right.
- French products are almost always awesome. Let's face it, they know what they are doing in the beauty department.
- My nails have never been better thanks to 4 products + nail color.
- I look better with sunglasses on my head. I can't explain why.
- I'm not as happy when I run out of my favorite amaretto coffee creamer.
- If you focus on certain products for a period of time, you WILL actually finish them...or at least use them enough until you are ready to part with them.
- Women gravitate to what they like and use. So if I like rose-toned lip products, it's okay to have a bajillion. But that little container of reds is almost just silly.
- Balance what you give with what you get. It eliminates any doubt or guilt if you know you're doing your part.
- Joy can come in all forms...watching your children, a warm embrace, a pretty plant for the kitchen window, a lipstick or a great smelling shampoo. Learn to appreciate every bit of joy in your day. And try to unclench the teeth when it comes to the rest of the day. ;-)
I've got more to share so stay tuned. I'm back!
