Is today a better day for you Alana?

Always stay cheerful, be polite, kind, and understanding. Accepting yourself as the woman you are is very liberating.  Never underestimate the appreciation and respect of authenticity.  Help connect a person to someone that may be able to help that person.  Be brave, be strong.  A TRUE friend is a treasure.  Relationships are very important, people are important, and the sooner we all realize that the better off the world will be.  Try a little kindness.  Be generous with your time, energy, wisdom, and resources.   Inconvenience yourself to help someone.   I am a brown eyed, brown haired woman.

I'm dealing with anxiety, and envy has reared its ugly head today. It all has me feeling down.

I feel like the intersection of dark and light. I have a dark soul residing in me but an intense draw to the powers of good. All around I feel the constant battle between darkness and light.

You know where I am if you ever want to get stuff out, AA. Even if I'm not online. Sometimes it helps to just put down everything you're feeling, even if it's not public, and just get it out of your system.

You know how I feel about you, and how incredibly gorgeous and awesome I think you are. Trust in the people who care about you and what they feel, rather than people you don't know, okay?

You've got this.

Love you! <3

I went to Ulta today and got little samples.  I did not need much of anything but I enjoy going in and seeing various things. 

Some, if not all, have hair salons.  I have not used them.  Who knows though, I might some day.

I LOVE going to Ulta. The women in the one I go to are very friendly. I was so intimidated going into Ulta at the beginning of my journey to buy makeup.

I'm feeling somewhat okay now. I was really having a rough go early this afternoon.

Stay positive Alana!

It really works for me; think positive thoughts, help someone, focus on others when you feel down or anxious.

Relax this weekend.  That also does wonders at times.

For cheaper cosmetics, try Dollar Tree.  Ulta has a great selection for beauty, skin care, and hair but the prices of course will be higher than at the dollar stores.

Ulta has a presence at Target stores and Sephora at Kohl's stores.  I do not know if they are at each of these department stores, but at least at many of their stores.

I've been feeling somewhat better today. I got a text from my cousin asking me how I was feeling today. I sent her a text yesterday and told her I was hurting. Her reply when I texted her back was so incredibly validating, it got me emotional.

Tears of joy are my favorite! I am so glad you're feeling somewhat better. Hugs.

Alana Ashleigh

Yesterday was a wild ride. I felt like a teenager yesterday with how I was feeling. My emotions were all over the place. My mood seemed to change every five minutes. I was smiling, giggling, moody, and every other emotion all within a few minutes. I felt like a teenager with raging hormones. It was quite the experience.

Hey Alana, that sounds like quite a day. Usually they take quite a lot out of you and you wonder what just happened! I guess some days are like that! Hope that you're all good and well though?
