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.

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.

Be sure to signup for their frequent shoppers program, it has a clever name!

It is one of the free shopper's or loyalty accounts that I setup using my newer name, no legal name change was needed to sign up.

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.
