Could You Be Any Prettier?

A woman gets to a certain age and she makes peace with her appearance. In my case, I’m talking specifically about my forehead. I’ve always worn bangs because I felt my face (ahem…forehead) needed them. That required that I blow-dry my hair every morning of my life. Then one day, in a rush, I grabbed one of my daughter’s headbands and in one swoop, pulled my hair away from my face and eliminated 10 minutes from my morning routine. Guess what? In that moment when I looked in the mirror my thought was, “Yup. That’s my face.” And it was all OK with me. I realized that the self-care routine: a good moisturizer, eyeliner and lipstick and a fragrance…these had amounted to self-love. And the silver dangling earrings and shiny silver necklace from our handcrafted jewelry collection, the complementary colorful scarf and stylish shoes created an overall impression that brought a smile to my face. And that smile was the final element that had me walking with a certain bounce in my step. You’ll never hear me use the words stunning or sexy to describe myself, but I think our artisan jewelry designs deserve those adjectives and I spend a lot of time with them!
