a couple weeks ago i popped into sephora with my friend jen and her daughter gracie. we tried on different lipsticks and gracie was so cute–she felt so grown up and pretty.

what makes you feel pretty?
hmmm, good question. funny, i don’t think about what makes me feel pretty, but i do think about what makes me feel happy – maybe it’s the same thing?

Lately…
Having my nails done in my favorite shade of Essie gray.
Delicate shirts with high heels.
Sipping a gimlet at happy hour with my ladies.
Hearing my boyfriend call me pet names.
Boots with dresses.

I echo everything you said about what makes me feel pretty….+ well-fitting clothes.
“Accepting that I was made to be me.” That just made me feel pretty. Thank you!

a pedicure and manicure on my own natural nails!! I really look up to you for embracing yourself and loving who you are–that seems to be a constant battle I have with myself! Patience…
Being who I am without all the outside stuff like makeup and clothes. all those things don’t matter in the long run.
Your jewelry is so pretty. It’s something I would buy for myself as well as for my sister. I would love to win your beautiful necklace. I would feel so honored. Thanks for considering me. Lori Gottowski
When I’ve been exercising and not carrying a bunch of extra weight – which I am now. Boo. Trying to get on top of it though!

Mine is more, “feeling feminine”, and for me it’s feeling thin – whatever that is. Lean. Not too many bulges. I go up and down, up and down. Right now Weightwatchers is helping me go down.
This reminds me of my 3 year old son who decided to paint his toenails candy pink about two weeks ago while he was watching cartoons. It was everywhere and it took so long to clean his feet but it was the biggest laugh I had had in awhile.
A pedi, eyeliner and mascara, dangly earrings, a spring in my step, no frizz in my curls, a fancy cocktail….I was thinking of each of these separately, but, hey, all this together would make for one awesome evening!
A fresh manicure and pedicure, little-to-no makeup, curled eyelashes, my handsome hubby on my arm!
Dancing
A cute outfit
Cooperative hair
My husband giving me that “look”
Laughing
I finally have learned that my looks are to be honored and appreciated the way they are. I’m by no means a beauty queen, but my Mom was and when people tell me I look like her it makes me feel very pretty. Why didn’t I learn this years ago???
Hmmm my hair – it’s very curly, was dark, is long and going very silver (not grey but gorgeous metallic silver – how lucky am I!).
My smile
New shoes!! (not anytime soon, boo hoo)
Beautiful flowers that I planted
My cat when he looks at me
When I am in tidy clothes, not gardening grunge!! LOLOL
When I look in the mirror I realise I am pretty, not perfect by any means but yes non-egotistically pretty and that’s nice
