I am a huge fan of The Daily Connoisseur, and today I would love to share an article from her blog which I would love to keep it for myself here so it could remind me everyday from now.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by<\/strong> The Daily Connoisseur<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few nights ago I was having dinner with two of my really good girlfriends. Enjoying each other\u2019s company over Italian food and candlelight we were discussing the usual topics: career, men and beauty (not necessarily in that order). While discussing beauty we somehow got on the topic of how we take ourselves for granted and sometimes don\u2019t present ourselves to our full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was telling them that earlier in the day I had worn a dress I don\u2019t usually wear and had received several compliments from total strangers while working and running errands (granted some of those strangers were homeless- but hey, every compliment counts). This, of course, got me thinking. Why did I never wear this dress? Is it because I\u2019m afraid that it will draw attention to me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incidentally, my girlfriends related. We found that we usually \u201cplay down\u201d our beauty either because we don\u2019t want the attention or simply can\u2019t be bothered. What a shame! My friend J said this reminded her of the catchphrase: \u201cdon\u2019t waste the pretty\u201d from the bestselling book He\u2019s Just Not That Into You<\/em> by Greg Behrendt. Whether stressing over a man, your career or your perceived beauty flaws, women everywhere are wasting the \u201cpretty\u201d- and we were some of them!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, yesterday I got my bi-monthly delivery from Amazon (I have a slight addiction and always have books on the way to my house) and was delighted to find in the stack of books I\u2019d ordered Carmindy\u2019s new book, Get Positively Beautiful- The Ultimate Guide to Looking and Feeling Gorgeous<\/em>. Carmindy is the makeup artist on TLC\u2019s hit show What Not to Wear<\/em> and is single-handedly responsible for educating me on the application of makeup thanks to her first bestselling book- The 5-Minute Face: The Quick and Easy Makeup Guide For Every Woman<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Get Positively Beautiful<\/em>, Carmindy urges women to look at their beauty from a positive angle. Rather than looking in the mirror and focusing on what you dislike about yourself, she encourages us to focus on what\u2019s fabulous and flaunt it- in other words, don\u2019t waste the pretty! She denounces the unfortunate beauty standard that the industry and celebrities have placed so high. The book is filled with tips for makeup application in every season- for every type of face- and even has a section in the back with real makeovers (and we all know how much I love a makeover).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is also full of positive beauty mantras to say to yourself in the mirror. Call me crazy, but I believe mantras work. One of my favorite television shows of all time is Absolutely Fabulous<\/em>, that whacky, farcical delight about two women navigating their way through life in a constantly heightened state. In one of my favorite episodes Edina and Patsy are in the bathroom and Edina asks Patsy: \u201cWhen you look in the mirror, what do you see?\u201d Patsy promptly replies, \u201cMe looking Fabulous\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that’s the type of attitude we could all benefit from…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
