How I Found My Fabulous and You Can Too!

I've been in need of feeling fabulous lately. So I took Brooke's advice and did a few things:

Painted my nails. A great activity to go along with watching Project Runway after my baby is asleep

Today I was NOT feeling it, but I didn't want to look that way when running errands. I've found when you look better you feel better!

So I put on some make up and earrings. I braided my hair and threw a hat on to cover the greasiness and voila! I wouldn't have usually paired pearls and my Yankees cap, but I think it works! I felt much better walking out of the house having spent just 15 minutes on myself. And my nails are still painted, so that's a plus.

Inexpensive Ways to Feel More Fabulous

As a stay-at-home mom some (most) days I end up getting dressed late in the day and sometimes not at all. I end up just feeling like Mommy and not my own person. I think we should all be proud of how we look. It's not vanity it's all a part of confidence and knowing you're putting your best foot forward.

Recently I have been trying to feel more fabulous and these are some ways that I have found make me feel more fabulous!

1. Paint your nails. You could go get this done or do it yourself. For Christmas I asked for nail polish and my awesome family got me some cute kits. One is Ombre purple, one is "caviar beads", I got a couple sparkly ones, and a matte finish one. Having my nails done makes me feel fabulous. I do two coats and a clear top coat to make it look professional. 
   
2. Get your eyebrows waxed. It's not expensive- I don't like to pay more than $10 (plus tip of course). Trust me- an esthetician can make your eyebrows fabulous and for $10 every 6 weeks it's not a huge chunk of the budget.
3. Wear animal print. I got these new shoes on sale at Target recently and they are fabulous!
   
4. Buy nice comfy clothes. I'm going to admit a little secret to you- on days when I don't have plans to leave the house I excitedly tell my husband they are "leggings days!" If you're wearing plaid flannel pjs you probably won't feel fabulous so just get some comfy clothes that are a little cuter. Some examples:

5. Buy a trendy item. I try to find trendy items on the cheap. Try stores like Forever 21 or H&M where you can get an item that is on trend but inexpensive. Fabulous for cheap is awesome!

6. Try a new beauty tutorial. I will be sharing a few of my favorites next week. 
7. Whiten your teeth at home. Kandee Johnson does a great tutorial for this product here and it's less than $10!
