Live Beautifully

1) Create a Daily MantraThis is something I do every morning before I get out of bed. I set a positive intention on how I want the day to unfold. It’s a combo of using the Law of Attraction and Designing Your Destiny.

It can be as simple as…

“Today I choose to welcome happiness, success and 3 new clients into my world.”

2) ExerciseSeriously, if you want to look and feel beautiful… this is an important one! I have spent many years surrounded by women from all walks of life. My 1st job was as a flight attendant and then I became an esthetician, both female dominated industries.

I can tell you that women who exercise not only seem to be happier BUT they look younger (up to 10 years younger!) than those who don’t exercise. Exercise releases your positive, feel good endorphins boosting your mood and lowering your risk for depression and many kinds of disease. Plus, gyms are great place to meet potential clients.

3) Join A Mastermind Group or Women in Biz GroupNothing can remove stress and help you live a more beautiful life than making an effort to surround yourself with women who are like-minded and get what it takes to deal with the daily grind. Some of my very best friendships have formed from investing time in mastermind and women in business groups. Just do a simple google search or look on meetup.com to find groups in your area.

4) Drink WaterIf you are at all like me, you often get so busy you forget about this easier-than-ever and super effective beauty tool!

Make a point to drink at least 8 glasses a day and you will most likely notice an improvement in your energy level, your skin will magically look and feel younger and you might even notice that you start sleeping better.

Water = Pure. Simple. Effective.

5) Sunblock Is A MustA majority of what I have been doing for the last 13 years is helping women age gracefully by teaching them tips and tricks on how to care for their skin. The number one skin care product I recommend is a chemical free sunblock. Environmental damage plays a huge part in the aging of our skin. Please, please, please take the time to apply a chemical free* sunblock daily - I can’t emphasize the importance of this enough! *Look for Sunblocks containing zinc and titanium. Note: most pressed power makeup contains a natural SPF.

6) Reward Your AchievementsTake the time to acknowledge your achievement. It doesn’t have to be investing in a bottle of Dom Pérignon, but do something nice to celebrate. I believe this tells the universe you appreciate the good in your life and are open to receiving more.

7) Keep Your Favorite Lip Gloss HandySometimes it really is the simple things in life, isn’t it? When you find that perfect lip gloss, lipstick, chapstick, or lip stain, I say buy 5 of them and keep them everywhere!

My opinion is that sprucing up your lips can make your entire day feel less crazy. My personal favorite is Aura by Osmosis Skin Care.

8) Fall Asleep Thinking About BlessingsA few years ago, I read that what you are thinking about in the 30 minutes prior to falling asleep is what your subconscious mind will accept and believe. After reading this, I stopped watching or listening to anything that stressed me out before bed (including the news). Now, I keep some sort of inspirational book on my nightstand, read a chapter or two and then close my eyes and think about all the blessings I encountered throughout my day.

I recommend the following nightstand books:

• Until Today by Iyanla Vanzant • Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach

9) Take Time To Just “Be”Do not underestimate the power of taking time each day to just “be”. Most mornings I take my coffee and go sit quietly in my backyard. I allow myself 10 minutes to just sit there, take a few deep breaths and center. This simple act of self-care can make you feel absolutely amazing.

To be clear here, “being” has nothing to do with “doing” anything - in fact, it’s just the opposite and it can often take practice but it’s so worth it. Give it a try!

10) Pamper Yourself MonthlyA facial, a massage, a manicure and/or pedicure are things that we all too often view as a splurge or special treat. I view them as my sanity tools. Anything that helps you relax and feel better is an investment in living a beautiful and stress-free life.

Don’t you dare feel guilty indulging in some pampering; instead, know that you are worth it and that the small investment of time and money will make you a more patient mom, boss and overall a nicer human being.
