A few weeks ago, before I made my way down to Milwaukee for an event, I decided it was time to make time for me. I made an appointment at my favorite salon and finally got my haircut and styled. It was amazing. It was at that moment that I decided it was time for me, to feel beautiful, for me.
Now don’t get me wrong, Alex tells me all the time that he thinks I’m beautiful and that he loves me without the makeup, hair pulled back in a ponytail or bun, wearing my glasses and lounging in yoga pants and a tank top or t-shirt.
It makes me happy to know that he always sees the beauty in me but it is something that I definitely struggle with. After having 5 kids, gaining a lot of weight from pregnancies, depression and my addiction to delicious food, I need to do what makes me feel beautiful.
After I attended that event in Milwaukee and I saw this picture that my friend and fellow blogger Maureen had snapped of me, I felt beautiful that day.
In this picture, I don’t feel fat. I don’t see the acne on my face. I don’t see the gray hairs on my head. I don’t see a mom who spends most days in her jammies eating chocolate while being exhausted and depressed.
What I see here is me, happy, having fun and feeling beautiful. That day, that was a good day!
