I LOVE February because:
It's my birthday month (!); contains Valentine's Day for which I LOVE everything about-my favorite colors-RED & PINK; Red Hot & Sweetheart Candies, Punxsutawney Phil...and
...Spring is right around the corner! Please enjoy these monthly posts focused on inspiring Self-Empowerment. Each month will focus on a new goal for a more savvy, successful, and empowering year.
FEBRUARY: LOVE
Consider the entire month of February the ideal time to incorporate self-love
into your routine. Whether you nurture yourself internally or take some
extra pride in your outward appearance, get ready to make 2017 the year
you fall head-over-heels in love — with yourself.
See your reflection in a new light
We’re
all guilty of zeroing in on what we don’t love about ourselves during
makeup application. “Instead, start focusing on what you do like,” says self-love coach and author Abiola Abrams.
“When you’re looking in the mirror, salute, enjoy, and revel in your
own beauty.” You can even use self-affirmations like, “Look how
beautiful my eyes are!” or “My lips are gorgeous!”
Discover your power product
This
month, find the beauty product that makes you feel your best. “Even
something as simple as a swipe of mascara or lipstick can help you feel
beautiful and give you a surge of confidence,” says blogger Liz Cherkasova of Late Afternoon.
Her pick? Going big with lashes. “I love the look of long, full, jet
black lashes to the point where I feel naked without at least a coat or
two of mascara. It’s an instant confidence booster for me,” she says. For Rouge18 founder and writer Amber Katz, a sweep of brown eyeliner is her beauty uniform. “It brings out the color of my eyes and makes me feel happier with my appearance,” she notes.
Find a way to unwind
If you don’t think stress relief is an important part of your beauty regimen — think again.
“Our skin is our biggest beauty organ,” says Abrams. “Being able to let
go of daily struggles decreases the inflammation that can lead to
wrinkles and aging.” Bonus: Nurturing yourself with meditation, yoga, or
just a quiet evening at home will have a trickle-down effect. As you
start to feel better about your skin, you’ll likely have more courage to
wear that aforementioned vibrant lipstick color.
Transform with a DIY beauty treatment
DIY treatments are a great way to give yourself some love without breaking the bank. “Pamper yourself with a pedicure
or make time for a skincare mask on a Sunday,” suggests Katz. Abrams
recommends spending a chilly February afternoon indulging in a luxurious
milk bath, mixing a bubble bath
with straight-up milk from your fridge. “It will bring you beauty and
power, and change the way that you move in the world,” she says.
Keep a beauty journal
Before you go to bed, write down five to ten things
that made you feel beautiful that day. Think about how you saw beauty
in your surroundings, in yourself, or in others. The benefit? Abrams
explains, “When we acknowledge the beauty around us, we start to notice
it more within ourselves.”
Go on a self-date
Rolling solo has advantages
beyond giving you the chance to unapologetically do something you’ll
really enjoy, like taking yourself to a movie. “When you take time in
your own company, unafraid of whether people are wondering if you’re
alone, you start to build that confidence muscle,” Abrams says, “and
confidence is the most attractive makeup you can wear.”
