Sometimes in life we focus on all the negative things around us and forget to enjoy and realize all the wonderful things as well. Only focusing on the negatives can be a bad habit also when shopping for clothing. I recently took my sister shopping with the goal of achieving a new classic figure-flattering outfit that gave her a more updated style. While this does not seem like a hard task, every new piece of clothing that was any different from her normal style she only focused on the negatives.
Focusing only on the negatives when trying something new hampers ones personal growth. When you find a piece of clothing that you like take the time to just try it on before thinking, “this is a beautiful skirt but I cannot pull off such a straight fit.” When I asked my sister if she had ever tried this style on before judging the item, she admitted she had not but just thought it might not work. I remind you to always give a new piece a chance to shine before you switch to the negative reasons of why it can not work.
When focusing on the positives of a new style piece there are several guidelines that one can use to help stay focused on the positives and still objectively evaluate a piece:
1. Think about what you want to say to the world about your style, does this piece promote this?
2. Try it on before you automatically discount something.
3. Know your style or clothing philosophy, does this piece fit your philosophy?
4. Can you wear this new style multiple times and incorporate it into your wardrobe different ways?

Get Glamorous Lashes
By Jacey Cosentino
Lashes, lovely lashes, fabulous lashes, flirty lashes, glamorous lashes… this is what we want to hear!
As women we want lashes that invoke envy amongst our peers. When we give someone the Marilyn “wink” we want the whole room to take notice. We see all of our favorite celebs sporting long, thick, sultry lashes on the red carpet, the covers of magazines and on TV interviews. How, we ask, do these women look so flawless and so effortless? Well, I am here to let you in on a little secret. Shhhh… Don’t tell anyone… they all have Lash Extensions!!
Lash Extensions are a MUST HAVE in your beauty regime. Let your clumpy mascara be a distant memory, with Lash Extensions there is no need for a full mascara application. Lash Extensions lengthen, thicken and tint your lashes all in one step and can last up to 6 weeks.
You have many different options if interested in a little lash glam. Two of the top companies for semi-permanent lash extensions are Novalash and Xtreme Lash. These Lash giants offer a wide range of lash lengths and thicknesses. Novalash offers a Platinum Bond glue designed for the more athletic type or for someone who just knows ahead of time they will be a little rougher on their lashes then the average Jane. For the ladies going to a special event or even just a night out with the girls Novalash carries the Candied Lashes in an array of shimmery colors that will add a little sparkle to your wink. Interested in a more daring lash? Xtreme Lash offers a rainbow of colors such as hot pink and cobalt blue.
Maybe a full set of Lash Extensions is not in your budget or maybe you have full lashes but are wanting to add a few just towards the end of your lash line for a more cat eye shape, whatever your desires there is a lash design that can be customized just for you! Novalash and Xtreme Lash Extensions range in price from $95 to $225 with touchups starting at $65.

A Note From Lee
As much as I love a plan–sometimes life just doesn’t work around exactly what you have in mind. Two weeks ago I gave birth to Parker Alene Heyward. She arrived two weeks early and by surprise c-section. She is perfect and we are doing wonderfully. Here we are hanging out on the couch.
In the last couple of weeks I’ve learned a lot about all sorts of baby products and things I never knew existed-all to help make life easier and more comfortable. It’s made me realize whether you want to be a better cook, a better Mom, or have better style, many times it’s just a matter of finding a few tips and tricks that work for you.
At the recent event Hang Ups, at Mary Mojo Boutique, there was a recurring theme with everyone who participated. Everyone had questions about how to wear clothes that made them forget about their hang ups. It was fun to watch how a few simple tips and tricks, such as wearing specific fabrics, silhouettes, and styles, can change the way you feel about the hang ups you see every time you look in the mirror. It’s a great reminder that sometimes making life or style easier is a simple tip away.
More often than not, each piece of your brand image was created when you needed it, but not altogether in a strategic fashion. Your image may look fine, but does fine help you grow?
Eventually as you scale, your image foundation cracks, and the way your business presents itself no longer helps propel growth – costing you time and money to fix.
When you unlock your brand power, you get to pick and choose how people perceive you and your brand.
Our Image Mastery System™ takes the 5 key brand components that you already have and ties them together in a way that amplifies your results and achieves your vision.
