Hi lovely!
Ever feeling down in the dumps? Just unsure about how to pull it together to address your boss or even sell yourself to a new date? Here are some tips to help you find your mojo.
Instead of looking at how far you have to go and what is left to go, focus on how far you have come. Sure you don't have everything you want in life but look around you and what do you have? You will find that when you start noticing the little milestone's and achievements you will be left feeling more positive and confident.
2) Stop comparing yourself.
I know it's super easy to get caught up in being competitive and in what other people are achieving, but you are on your own path and will get to where you need to be in good time. Trust that the universe has everything planned for you and when the time is right it will happen. Remember that there is no one else out there who is anything like you so give everything you are focussed on 100%, the rest will come when it's right.
3) Remind yourself of where your going.
Often focussing on your final goal gives you a little bit of motivation and a kick up the butt to keep going. A huge help to reach your goals is to have a vision board. Now days with technology these are so easy to achieve by using pintrest but i still love the old way. spend an afternoon sifting through magazines and printing pictures of the Internet to stick onto a big piece of paper. Put the vision board somewhere you will see it often to remind yourself of what your after.
4) fake it till you make it.

As cheesy as it sounds if you really don't feel confident then you need to fake it. And often once you start to fake it you will in fact become more confident naturally. Put a red lipstick on as its a power colour and put that beautiful smile on your face and go for it!
How do you boost your confidence levels? We all have down days where we need to pick our selves up and carry on. But remember tough times don't last, tough people do.

Lipstick. We are all aware of what it is and how to apply it. But just like anything if we look deeper into what it is we can find out some pretty interesting things!! Whether you’re looking to create a full on pout or add just a sheer shine to your lips, every woman must enlist the help of lipstick from time to time. Lipstick is a whole lot more than allowing you to simply look your best; it can help you from the inside out! If I told you that lipstick had medical benefits would you believe me? What about if I told you that by applying even the slightest bit of lipstick you could improve the mood of your whole day? Well i'm here to enlighten you so keep reading.
By applying even just one coat of lipstick can improve your confidence. By applying a powerful colour to your lips, such as red, it can give you confidence to tackle a challenging task you have been attempting.
By wearing lipstick, it will make you appear more confident in a professional setting. In a 2011 study by Procter & Gamble, researches from Harvard and Boston university found that people wearing coloured cosmetics were more confident and reliable. So next time you go for that promotion take a second to run your favourite lippy over your lips.
Lipstick appeals to the opposite sex. From the early days when lipstick was first made from plants it was used as a form of attraction to allure males towards the females. In a more recent (2011) study in France, waitresses that wore red lipstick received higher amounts of tips throughout their shift at a restaurant.
Most lipsticks that are made today have a moisturising element to them. These can include Vitamin E and Aloe Vera. Older lipsticks may not have moisturiser in them but companies are now aware of the fact that a lipstick needs to be hydrating if it is to sit on your lips for a few hours!
Lipsticks have a form of sunscreen in them. Even from as early as the 20th Century, pharmacist's and fashion designers recognised that some form of sun protection on your lips was important. Nearly all lipsticks will have an SPF of 12+ in them. They also now have active agents in them which can help protect you from sun and wind damage and other anti ageing effects.
And lastly it has been shown through several studies that women who wear lipstick feel better about themselves, therefore have better posture by acting more confidently and standing tall.
More importantly you should wear lipstick to benefit the most important person...YOU! Weather your having a down day and you need a pick me up or you want to feel powerful in a meeting. The best thing about lipstick is its affordable and can easily be placed in your handbag and applied in a flash.
Until next time,
