Prepare to Feel Beautiful on Mother's Day with These 5 Tips

5/5/2016

Here it comes... another Mother's Day.  Which for some is a dreamy day when you are pampered by your super model husband and served on command by your angelic children.  It's a day when you lazily slumber in a hammock all day eating strawberry shortcake piled high with whipped cream.  What? That's not your typical Mother's Day?  So you don't have a super model husband?  Or any husband? No kids?  You're lactose intolerant?  Yes, this is a day that should be celebrated.  After all, if we aren't mothers, we all had a mother.  But for some reason this can become a day full of doubt, feelings of inadequacy, and dissatisfaction.   Unfortunately, enduring this beautiful day in May can feel like a chore.  It's time to turn this chore into a choice...by choosing to look and feel beautiful, armed with genuine confidence and love for others, and resistant to any "not good enough" mental chatter.  Since the way you dress affects the way you think, feel and act, we can control how beautiful we feel on Mother's Day.  Here are 5 things that work for me.

  1. Drapey fabrics, those that hug in all the right places are even better.  
  2. Your favorite color, the one that makes your heart sing.  (Mine is marigold yellow.)  
  3. A color from your personal color palette. (Turquoise to match my eyes.) 
  4. Don your feminine power with a skirt or dress.  
  5. If that skirt or dress happens to have a floral print, even better.  If not, try a scarf or other item with a romantic floral touch. 
​When I choose to wear one or all of the above, I begin feeling much more confident.  Confident enough to  look negativity squarely in the eye and say "Hit me with you're best shot! You're not getting through to me, because I feel gorgeous today!" 
What helps YOU feel beautiful on Mother's Day?  Here's what a few of my friends had to say....
  • "When I put effort into my appearance and wear clothes that look great on me and do my hair and makeup, I feel beautiful :-)" Emily
  • "Getting enough sleep is a big one, getting ready for church or date night, having friends, and riding horses."  Chloe
  • "I feel beautiful when I'm laughing and happy or when one of my grandkids hugs me and when my clothes fit well, my make up looks good and my hair does what I want it to do."  Carrie 
  • "I feel beautiful when my dad praises my accomplishments and secretly tells me I'm his favorite. (He tells each one of us this but I know I'm really his favorite...;)" Becky
  • "I feel beautiful when I've actually showered for the day and changed out of my sweats. 😜😂 ...I feel beautiful when I've done something unexpected for someone else. A note, a treat, taking dinner, ironing my husband's shirts (😜which I hate doing) notes to my kids, etc...Getting outside of my every day grind and looking to others, makes us feel good inside... and thus beautiful. 🌸" Tiffany
  • "I feel beautiful when I've created a home that's warm and kind for my kids.  When I've made a yummy meal for my family and I'm happy and patient with my kids."   Jana
  • "My husband has been my biggest fan for a long time now...and he always tells me I'm beautiful 💙. It makes me happy...who doesn't feel good after a compliment?" Laurel 
  • "Honestly when I am being funny, telling jokes that are making people laugh I usually feel beautiful.  I tend to feel beautiful when I'm feeling confident."  Erika
  • "Strength, love and purity."  Lisa
  • "Skinny jeans with heels." Nicole
  • "Working out and fake eye lashes. LOL" Cyndee 
  • "Having a clean house." Jann
  • "Tan skin/sun on my face, a new pair of jeans,  makeup on my face with my wild curls diffused,  being in love, and laughing with good friends💕" Katrina
  • "I feel beautiful when I am clean, well rested, eating healthy and doing yoga consistently." Stefani
  • "What makes me feel beautiful?  My confidence makes me feel beautiful. I feel like I can conquer the world. I feel beautiful in my own skin." Daphne 
How about YOU?  What helps you to feel beautiful when negative self-chatter comes closing in?  (Comment below.)
