Au Naturale Challenge Day 4: Follow!

Hi Ladies!
Just a reminder, today is the last day to download my So Sweet Kit. You'll find the link a few posts back. Also, today's part of the Au Naturale challenge is to become a follower. It's that quick! Besides, who wouldn't want to be a part of something that makes you feel so good about yourself! The kit is ready to play with and I can't wait to give it to you! Hope you have a beautiful [even if it's manic!] Monday!

I scrapbook too!

 

A cute little page for our engagement album. Made with Kat's Creations' new kit Fallen Leaves. I'm LOVING the stitching and the adorable papers. :) yum. 

Finished my button. :)

Au Naturale Challenge Day 3: Cleanse

Hi Ladies! Have you enjoyed your break from me? We've been having intense internet issues lately, but I'm back on. I apologize for the delay. Here's day 3, we're cleansing today. There are so many messages out there in the media that are telling us to look this way, dress this way, talk this way, be this way, and they're all completely unrealistic.

Every marketing message is meant to make us unhappy with ourselves in one way or another, so today I challenge you to be stronger than the billboard, TV commercial, or in store display. You do not have to be free of wrinkles, perfect complexion, size 2, designer jeans, etc. to be beautiful. That's not what it's all about. So cleanse yourself of these influences today-however you want to. And come let us know how you're feeling now! 

Isn't that refreshing?

Remember, after completing these challenges, the Au Naturale kit is yours free! {sneak peak to come later today!}

p.s. my blog got a little facelift today-what do you think?

Au Naturale Challenge Day 2: The Little Things

Welcome to day 2 my beautiful girls! Today, I'm challenging you [and myself!] to do one act of selfless service. It doesn't have to be anything big.

• Write a note to your husband/sister/friend/roommate/etc.
• Call your mom! 
• Give something to the man on the street.
• Take that load of stuff to the Salvation Army/Deseret Industries
• Call a friend and offer to take her kid home from school.
• Drop everything and kiss your man senseless when he walks through the door. [most likely sparking "ewww"s from the kids, but totally worth it! and how great do you think he feels when he knows he's your #1, and you've been so excited to see him all day?]
• Smile at somebody you don't know!
• Pay for the person behind you at Starbucks.
  

Really, just take a minute and forget yourself to focus completely on someone else & then come and tell us what you did! 

I'll go first: I bought a jar of hot pickled okra for my husband. He raves about it all the time, and it just grosses me out-so he hasn't had any since we got married. He's thrilled. :)

There's no easier way to boost your mood than through realistic service. You don't have to go and save the world every day. Just make one other person's day and it will change yours for the better.

I can't wait to hear from you!

Au Naturale Challenge Day 1: Love

To kick off our Au Naturale challenge, I’d love to know something you love about yourself. I’m asking to know what you love about yourself, not like about yourself, don’t hate about yourself, or can live with about yourself, what you LOVE about yourself. This isn’t bragging about yourself. I’m asking to know! And it’s always nice to remember your awesome qualities. They so often get pushed to the side by our weaknesses, but today, it’s time to be nice to yourself.
I’ll go first:

I love that I can create beautiful things.


Now I want to hear from you! What do you just LOVE about yourself?


Remember, after completing this challenge, the new Au Naturale kit is yours free!
