Okay, so what is the resolution that was able to come out on top above all of the other ones, you may ask?
I call it the 2/3 rule.
1. Hair
2. Makeup
3. Outfit
The formula goes like this…
Mainly, at the bare minimum, I have to do two of the three concepts listed before I can leave my house for the day. For example, I can do my hair and put on a-rockin’ outfit if I don’t feel like putting on my make up. Another variation is bumming my gear but ensuring my hair and makeup are looking right. Of course, I would like to strive for all three every day but life happens, and you don’t always have time for that. Some days I do achieve that level of greatness. My 3/3 makes me feel like a 10/10! Man, who knew fractions could be so empowering.
Ever since starting this little goal of mine I have to say my confidence level has jumped from a five to a nine. Not that I wasn’t confident in myself before, but there is something to be said about putting your best foot forward on a daily basis.
After going through my photo roll and trying to pick out some pictures for this blog, I realized I favor having a cute outfit and doing my hair while not committing to my make up.
I try to focus on the stronger concepts I zero in on for the day. I like to think the idea I don’t give the proper amount of attention to is an opportunity. It’s not a weakness because my hair, make-up, and outfit all have potential.
These are some of the different variations I have come up with!

Love your 2/3 rule! I find that I do feel better about myself if 1. I have makeup on, 2. my hair is not in a horrible half assed ponytail! 3. If I don't have on workout pants, I'm dressy!

When I want to feel better about myself, I train Muay Thai or spend time on my yoga mat or go for a really long power walk. I'm blessed with curly hair and don't need to spend time on it. Make up? Lip gloss or chapstick and I'm good to go. Outfit? nearly always casual. Feeling good on the outside is a natural manifestation of feeling fantastic on the inside!
