Not everyday you roll out of bed feeling amazing, gorgeous and vivacious.  Usually,  you roll out of bed with a pimple that grew overnight, a crick in your neck, and with hair that looks like a rabid animal created a nest in it.   So, onthe days that you are feeling less than fabulous – I made a printable that you can frame in a cute little 4×6 frame as a friendly little reminder.   Anyone who knows me, knows that I am addicted to make-up.  If you were to add up the value of my make-up collection, I’m sure it would far surpass what I own in jewelry.  What can I say?  I gravitate towards lipstick over earrings.  One of my favorite make-up artists is Francois Nars.   Conviently, NARS is also my all time favorite lipstick brand.   NARS has an uncanny way of channeling into the female psyche and creating a line of cosmetics that will instantly add a little boost to your step the moment you apply.

Since I was introduced to the line, I have found myself hoarding away all kinds of information about the brand. In my travels, I came across a quote by Francois that I thought was so inspired.  Not only because it touches upon feeling beautiful everyday, but I love the reminder about finding your own way.   There is so much influence available these days between books, television and the internet. Sometimes you can get so lost in what everyone else is doing, feeling, saying, thinking, and wearing (the list goes on) that you lose sight of your own self. I am very guilty of that and often times, I have to remind myself that I’m not following someone else’s footsteps, but creating my own.  I’m finding my own way, whatever that may be.  F

For those of you who sometimes get bogged down in the “where I should be in life” saga,  this is for you.  For those of you with the overnight pimple, and the hair that is reminiscent of a rat’s nest, this is for you.
