Self-Exploration Anyone

Hey People!

So recently I've been searching the web and really just exploring. I'd told myself that I wanted to re-image myself. Its a task that can be costly, time consuming, and require a lot of thought (at least in my opinion to do it correctly). I wanted to do something fun, kind of mature (not old woman) and very 'me' appropriate. Just so you have an idea what I'm working with; I still have jeans and outfits from high school that I wear. So yes, I am long overdue for a personal makeover.

So far I've experimented with make-up, more so just trying to find a good everyday look. I've decided that my best combination that's quick and easy is a little bit of eyeliner (black), some mascara and a touch of blush (I use Mary-Kay). It's something that I can usually do in less that five minutes, but it gives me that great natural, yet polished look. I'll probably play with eye shadows later on this summer and update you on that. I'll see if I can find a good picture to post as well.

Another transformation that you all have been following me on is my hair. As you all know, I'm natural now and have been for a little over 3 months. That's going great! I got a trim a couple of weeks ago (I really feel like she cut a lot off >__<) but since then I've tried a new style called mini twists. I'll post the how to on that later and show you all some pictures of that too.

But the last thing I've been working on, is my body image. I currently don't have an everyday regimen or any results but as soon as I do, you'll know about that as well. But in addition to the physical, I've been looking at different things that can flatter my body type and personality. On this quest I found a list of how each color accentuates you. I found it on Essence.com if you want to find the full article but for now be sure to check out what the colors you wear could mean to those perceiving you!

Yellow: bright, alert, optimistic
Green: calm, collected, peaceful
Orange: creative, joyful, sexy
Pink: affectionate, playful, lovable
Red: energetic, passionate, powerful
Blue: logical, analytical, tranquil
Purple: imaginative, inspired, serene
Brown: practical, logical, grounded
Black: mysterious, independent, protected
White: purifying, graceful, healing

Feel free to use my journey to help you find out something new about yourself; I'll be posting whatever helpful information I find and looking forward to your questions, comments and suggestions.

Later peeps!
