Wednesday Happenings + #NationalLipstickDay

I was ALL in my feelings this morning.  Crying, feeling overwhelmed by my to-do list and trying to fight back all of the 'what if' mental movies that started to play.  I had to listen to some positive Periscopes and read a few scriptures and quotes to get away from the panic attack that was creeping up.

No, not today! I had zero energy to be in that dark place.  It takes so much to feel down and worried, and I just was not going to.

I saw on Twitter that one of my fave bloggers, Mattie from Mattieologie, posted a pic saying that today was dubbed #NationalLipstickDay by Revlon.  I'm not an everyday makeup wearing kind of girl but, a little lipstick can sometimes turn my mood around immediately.

I  was not about to put on any foundation (as you can tell from my pic) but, I did put on some Girl Around Town by MAC .  To join in on the fun, post a pic on Twitter with the hashtags #LOVEISON and #NationalLipstickDay! Follow me on Twitter at @candicess. 

How is your Wednesday going? What is your favorite lipstick color?

Bad Mood=No workout?

 I have always heard people say that working out makes them feel better when they are stressed out or in a bad mood.  It has always been the exact opposite for me.  If I am in a funk, I most likely will NOT be working out.  I've tried in the past but every time I begin working out the only thing that's on my mind is the problem/issue at hand.  Then I start feeling like the time I am spending in the gym could be spent working at rectifying the problem/issue.  I guess it's just the perfectionist and worry wart in me.

I now force myself to workout even when I'm not in the best of spirits and think about problems later. It's still hard though.

Does your mood affect whether or not you workout?
