Even without permission, some people feel entitled to be a critic. Sometimes people try to place doubt in your mind, play down your success, or tell you what you can’t do.

If your always trying to appease the masses, you will never focus on what makes you happy. It’s okay to offer advice, wisdom, or knowledge. However, to be condescending towards ones success or achievement is unflattering.

If people are worried about what you’re doing, then you must be doing something right. Those who do not appreciate the success of others, may never experience success of their own.

My world consists of friends that are encouraging, caring, and reliable. There will always critics out there, but that doesn’t mean they have to be your friends. Keep striving to do your best and attract positive and progressive people in your life.

Until next time,

“May the love hidden deep inside your heart find the love waiting in your dreams. May the laughter that you find in your tomorrow wipe away the pain you find in your yesterdays.”

Turning over a new leaf to invite more optimism in life is always a good thing. Things I am optimistic about going into the month of February:

♥ longer workouts
♥ smaller to-do lists
♥ meaningful diary entries
♥ learning new dinner recipes
♥ New Balance running shoes 
♥ being more creative (more DIY projects, drawing, coloring, baking)

Until next time,

Be Fashionable

Treat Yourself

Be Fashionable 
I have started adding feather earrings to my jewelry collection. Currently, I have peacock style, white, brown, and black. As I danced my weekend away, I couldn’t wait to wear my recent purchase. I got this pair from Cato.

Stay Classy


“Make your words soft and sweet for you 
may have to eat them later.”

Treat Yourself
Have a spa day everyday by taking care of your skin.

Why:
♥ Softer skin.
♥ Less breakouts.
♥ Your makeup will go on better.


How: Buy a facial brush. I have a pink one and have noticed a dramatic difference in my skin.

Just dance

“Dance…even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.
Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.” -Buz Luhrmann

When presented with the opportunity to just let loose, be young, and carefree…count me in! I love to dance because, it is another great way to express yourself. There is no room for worry on the dance floor. This area is for laughs, smiles, and endless bliss. It is a time to appreciate the company you keep and enjoy one of life’s sweet treasures.

When words aren’t enough…just dance.

Until next time,

Idea

“When you meet someone better than yourself, turn your thoughts to becoming his equal. When you meet someone not as good as you are, look within and examine yourself.”
 -Confucious

Do you feel you are experiencing a series of unfortunate events?
Nothing ever goes right and the stars don’t align in your favor?

Ask yourself:

Is the glass half-full or half-empty? 
What are you grateful for?
Do you manage the company you keep?
What are your strengths?
What can you improve upon?

I am not a psychologist or truly understand the intrigue parts of the human brain. I am however a champion for positivity. Bad things do happen to good people and bad things happen to not so good people. If we truly can not control what happens to us…we can control how it will affect us.

Plan for a life of positivity, hope, and happiness and see how life pays you back.

Time can be wasted, but never recycled

“You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.”
 –Charles Roberts Buxton

Where did this month go? Yikes! Already nearing the end of the month and I slightly feel off track, unorganized, and just wandering around aimlessly. 

Retaining the momentum I had in the beginning of the year needs a little tweaking. This weekend I plan to realign my to-do list and get back on track. 

I was off to a great start this month, but the trick is to finish strong! If you are experiencing this same type of anxiety, hang it there and just take one step at a time.

Simple delights

Leave a comment / sassy curls, sassy curls blog
This week has brought more inspiration and insight about the little things that make me happy. I’m on a happy kick, that I hope becomes contagious though out all aspects of my life. I want to live a life where material things are not a reflection of my happiness. On my simple delights list I have a mix of both tangibles and non-tangibles. Some of these items are enjoyed more with company.


“The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you, whose presence calls forth your best.” -Epictetus

Rainy Days–good time for reflection, relaxation, and great excuse to stay inside.

Afternoon Naps–because nap time should really be for adults and not just for kids.

Ballet Flats–when heels become a fuss, but you still want to feel pretty.

Unexpected Flatteries–receiving a gift when it’s not a your birthday, but because some appreciates you.

Coffee–I have had many pleasant experiences and conversations over a cup of joe.

I hope you enjoy all the simple things in your life.

Be spontaneous

When was the last time you did something for the first time?
The last time I did something for the first time was a few weekends ago with my hot air balloon ride adventure. Doing something new is exhilarating, fun, and exciting.  I want to enjoy all the little moments in between life’s adventures. I never want to dread anything I have to do in my life.
I choose adventure. I choose to never be bored. 
I chose to always be happy.
I like to believe I plan for almost everything. This is not realistic. Having a plan would take the fun out of being spontaneous. Being flexible and squeezing in time for fun, should be a relief. Spontaneity can make for fascinating memories.
Until next time,
