Back to School Gifts with Sadie Robertson Live Original + A Positive Note from Me

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and DaySpring, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #DayspringSadieRob http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

Sadie Robertson Live Original

Every day I’m troubled by a lot of the things I see and hear on movies, television, music, and other media.  The decline in faith and family values, and the lack of positive messages and role models often leads me wondering and worried about where we’re headed.

We try to do our part to lead positive lives and encourage the young people in our family to do the same.  One thing I  especially wish for the young ladies in our family is that they maintain self respect and a positive image.  I want for them to be proud of who they are and not define themselves based on what others think, or feel they have to change to fit someone else’s ideal.

I, for one, wish I could have figured that out a long time ago! I am in my 30s and I still occasionally struggle with self esteem issues.  I’ve always had severe anxiety, and because of that, I really missed out on a lot of opportunities.  As a student, my grades were nearly perfect, and yet I never really felt completely confident in a classroom.  My anxieties also left me very distrusting of a lot of people, and as a result I found it very hard to open up and get to know most people.

Whether you’re a student in high school or college, you’re out in the work force, or if you’re a stay-at-home mom, maintaining a positive attitude is essential.  You can be smart, talented, and attractive, but if you don’t have self-confidence and aren’t able to be comfortable just being yourself, then you are lost! None of that other stuff matters. [Read more…]

Getting Spring Ready Skin

As I anticipate warmer weather coming my way, I can’t help but get excited about breaking out the capri pants, baby tees & tanks, and other spring clothing. Don’t get me wrong; I love sweater season!  But after a few months, I’m ready to show a little more skin, and I want my skin to look healthy, soft, and smooth.  I’ve never been the kind of girl who spends the day at the beauty shop or spa; it’s just not my thing!  For this reason, I look for high quality (yet affordable) products that I can use at home to help me get my beauty on!  Right now I’m using Softsoap Fresh & Glow to help my skin get spring ready!
