Eye of the Tiger

Hello lovelies! Have you looked yourself in the mirror and said "I am beautiful!" yet? If you haven't done so, please go do that right now and then come back to reading this post! 

I am taking a stance against self doubt today! I woke up feeling quite lethargic and a bit emotionally unstable, but I promised myself I would do something positive to help me get out of my funk. It's so easy to be so self-critical and beat ourselves up over every little thing in our lives, but I think it's important to also celebrate our small victories...I mean, literally every small victory: 1) I got out of bed, 2) I brushed my teeth, 3) I did some body squats and vacuums, 4) I drank coffee, 5) I'm working on this blog, which is not only my passion, but my safe haven! So I hope this goes to show you all that we can always have hope and keep persevering! I will discuss my fitness journey progress soon in a post on its own.

Now on to the fun stuff!!! Yesterday, I had the opportunity to do my friend's makeup for a special event. Let me tell you, we were both cracking up and time just flew by! It was one of the most enjoyable makeup sessions I've had because she is so gosh darn hilarious! She's a natural comedian and has a heart of gold! I kept staring into her eyes and I legit thought she had on contacts because they are soooooo mesmerizing! I had to title this post, "Eye of the Tiger" as her eyes are captivating and definitely represents her as the strong, determined, beautiful woman that she is! 

Please take a look at my gorgeous friend's transformation and let her know it's ok to have color on the lips lol! She avoids colorful options on the lips and prefers clear lip gloss, so even a nude lipgloss was a small victory! She is naturally so beautiful so she takes a minimalistic approach to makeup, but I'm so happy that she actually loved how the look turned out! Enjoy the pictures!
