Remember when your mom used to forego buying herself
anything and just spend money on you? I’m totally there. I’m buying my kid
cuter clothes than myself. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but I’ve become
a little nostalgic for the old me the past couple of months, and the old me
knew how to shop. Don’t get me wrong --- I’m buying things, but they’re boring
things. Black yoga pants, fleece jackets, tshirts… Day to night things, except
by night I mean sleeping in my bed… When did I get so lazy?
So, Project Me begins…
First order of business, be happy on the inside. 3 take
aways: Gratitude, spiritualism, and health. When I make these a priority, life falls
into place for me, and I can focus on the present moment which makes a person
happy.
Second, is finding something that will work on my face,
so I can wear a bit of makeup again. I’m going to try the Norwex washcloths to see if they will take makeup off my face without me having to use
a cleanser… My skin doesn’t like cleansers-toners-moisturizers, so if I can
remove the makeup with a microfiber cloth, I might not break out, or so my thoughts are... I’ll keep you posted on
how THAT goes…
Thirdly (just because that’s a funny word), I need some
clothes and accessories. Oh boy do I need some new clothes and accessories*. I’m
on the style hunt, and I’m pinning things like crazy on Project Me.
*and let’s not forget Step 3.1:
How do I tweak the budget so that I can actually GET some new clothes and
accessories…
