Your Beautiful!

Have you ever sat in a salon chair watching them foil, color or cut your hair? I was coloring my hair tonight looking at myself starting to look like a wet DOG!! Ladies you know what I mean right? The things we do to feel pretty. 

 I work in a salon with all girls, mirrors everywhere and I find my self constantly putting myself down. "So and so looks so pretty today. Ugh her hair is so thick and perfect. How does she get her makeup to look so awesome all the time. Her outfit looks so cute! I wish I had her smile. I want those shoes!" why do we always compare. Why do we always want what others have. Why cant we just be happy and content with ourselves?  

"Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are." -Marilyn Monroe

 Well said Marilyn! This quote really struck me tonight. Its so true though! Stop wasting who you are! Learn to love the features you were given. Learn to love Yourself!

"For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. 

For lovely eyes, seek out good in people. 

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. 

For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. 

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. 

 People, more then things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, 

reclaimed and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand,

you will find one at the end of each of your arms. 

 As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands, 

one for helping yourself and the other for helping others." 

-Sam Levenson

 Always speak kind to yourself. Try to find the good in what we think is the bad. Feeling confident starts with you. It starts at the beginning of everyday. Lets make it positive! You are You! You are Beautiful! 

"The most Beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, know suffering, known struggle, known loss, and found their way out the depths. 

These persons have an appreciation , a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. 

Beautiful people do not just happen." 

-Elisabeth Kubler -Ross

 After I washed out the dye in my hair I decided to take a few pictures of myself. Not the Chauncey that goes to work. Or the Chauncey that you see on Facebook or Instagram. The Chauncey that isn't posted for everyone to see. The Chauncey that I am learning to love. I took a few different pictures. No makeup on. My hair is wet and slick to my head. Then its dry and frizzy. I just wanted to see. REALLY SEE who I am. All natural.
