Billboard Music Awards: Kelly Rowland

I did not get to tune in to the Billboard Music awards tonight but, I did see some pics of the fashion on the red carpet. I saw these pics of Kelly Rowland and I was like, "Wowww, Kelly!" I'm totally loving this outfit and she has the perfect body for it. I've posted on here before about her being one of my fitness inspirations and this solidifies my reasons why.

She looks absolutely gorgeous (and I will be in the gym tomorrow)!

Beauty 101: "World's Most Powerful Mask"

In my never ending mission to get that caramel brown, even all over, flawless complexion I used to have I came across Aztec Indian Healing Clay.  I've been using it consistently for the past few weeks and I am so pleased.  Everytime I pass a mirror, I have to stop and admire just how much clearer my skin has become! Some may call it being vain but, I am just so pleased with this stuff.

I mix it with a little apple cider vinegar and mix it until it forms into a smooth paste.  Then I smooth it onto my skin and leave it on for about 15 minutes.  This stuff is the truth! It makes your whole face pulsate letting you know it is getting deep down into those pores.  After I rinse, my face is incredibly soft and smooth.  It really has kept the breakouts away!  I have never used a mask that worked this well.

What's your take on masks? What type of mask do you use?

What's Your Best Physical Feature?

I have a confession.  As much as I advocate for all things natural and truly loving yourself, I have been struggling with insecurities in the past few months.  I wish I was thicker, I wish for flawless skin, perfect teeth and the list could go on and on.

 Due to some curve balls thrown my way, I feel like I have let myself go a little because I have just been too down to take care of my hair, skin, nails and body like I used to.  I look back on older pictures of myself and I'm like, "What has happened to me??"  It can be pretty depressing.

I have decided to take charge of my life because only I can get myself to where I would like to be.  I am going to take time out to take care of myself.  This means working out again, eating right again and taking care of my hair and skin like I used to.  I also plan on making sure my feet and hands are done (no dry, peeling skin, overgrown cuticles and chipped nail polish!!)

I am also going to be remind myself of the features that I do love.  It's so easy to focus on all of our flaws instead of looking at our best features.   So today I have decided to highlight  the physical things I love about me!

I LOVE my legs!! I think they are one of my best features.  I have been blessed with really great legs thanks to Track and field and genetics and I love them!

 

Despite my flaws and insecurities, I know that I am still blessed and I will continue to remind myself of this.  Seek to find  the best in you everyday!

What are your best physical features? Feel free to post pics!
