Brighten Your Whole Outlook With A NEW Look

I believe that spontaneity is the spice of life. If I’m going to be bored; I’m better off dead. Something about monotony turns off my brain…as well as my spirit…soul…and yeah…well, you get it. It’s surprising to me how many people are comfortable doing the same thing every day with all of the same people in the same place…and looking the same way.

It’s one thing to be happy with your life and to have no desire to “spice” it up. However, if you’re feeling like you’re missing something…I’d recommend going out on a limb and trying something new, particularly when it comes down to your looks.

Every time that I make getting ready fun, I find that I end up looking better. People notice small changes in your look on a daily basis and, at least for me, small things like this can really make me feel better throughout the day.

So what should you consider mixing up?

YOUR HAIR

Do you always wear it down? Try something new. A bun. A fishtail. Half up. Pull your bangs back. Part it in a different place. And hey, you’re never too old for pig tails if they’re done the right way. (The right way is NOT with a plaid skirt and knee highs).

YOUR MAKEUP

Don’t wear any? Maybe give it a shot some day. And if you wear it…try a different shade one day or some eye shadow that stands out.

YOUR CLOTHES AND OVERALL “LOOK”

A lot of us get trapped into looking how we’re expected to look every day. We forget that we can constantly be switching up our style and having fun with it. Can you imagine Gwen Stefani looking the same way every time we saw her? No freaking way. Why? Because she has fun with her looks…and you should, too! Don’t be afraid to go from a “classy” look one day to a “rocker” look the next.

And from what I’ve gathered from experience…when you’re not bored, the people around you aren’t bored, either.

Recently spiced up your “look”? Tell us about it!

    This summer I chopped off 14 inches of my hair and donated it to Locks of Love. The last time I had short hair I was a toddler. Needless to say, I was terrified. I’m now sporting the wavy-haired bob (not particularly an easy hairstyle), but I’ve never been happier or more confident. I remember feeling like my hair was what defined my femininity, and that losing it would be losing my attractiveness. Now that it’s gone, and my love life hasn’t suffered, I’ve never felt better about myself and my personality. Ladies: CHOP IT ALL OFF :)
