I've very excited to share a guest post with you all about the importance of re-capturing that old feeling of worth. Having gone through a divorce, I can tell you that I was pretty down in the dumps for quite some time, and honestly, it took a few years to really feel like "me" again. Thanks to the <span style="font-family: Calibri;">Julie Ellis here are some things you can do to find that inner you once again!</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We begin life with almost a blank slate. Sure, heredity
plays a role in who we are – researchers now tell us that we all have
propensities toward certain physical and mental conditions. It also tells us
that “nature” can be moderated and changed by “nurture” – those experiences we
have and those behaviors we internalize that may alter that heredity. Recently,
for example, scientists have isolated a gene that is a predictor of addiction –
drugs, alcohol, gambling, etc. Possession of this gene means that we have a
predilection toward addictions. It does not, however, mean that we will
necessarily succumb to addictions. That “succumbing” is a factor of our
“nurturing,” or our environments.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Life Happens!</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">As we march through this great experiment called “life,” we
develop a sense of self-image. If we have had more “good” than “bad” during
this grand experiment, our self-images remain relatively positive – we see our
worth; we know that we can solve problems; we know that we can overcome
adversity. It is when those big traumas come that our “world” is shaken so
profoundly that we begin that downward spiral of losing our sense of self-worth
and begin to lose the belief that we can not only survive, but triumph. Consider
some of the major events that can occur to shake our very foundational beliefs
in ourselves:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Any one of these events can create the feelings that we do
not have value, that our lives are worthless, and that we are destined to a
future existence of depression, despondency, and dependency (the “terrible
trio” as I like to call them). Turning this around, and learning to believe in
oneself again, is not easy and is not an activity for the “faint of heart.”
Yet, it is accomplished by many, each and every day, as they take step-by-step
measures to restore their senses of self-worth!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you call it God, First Cause, Universal Mind, or the Force, it is greater than
you, and there are certainly principles that are in play. Connecting to this
Power is the first step in restoration. These connections may be pretty dirty
right now, but getting the corrosion off and cleaning up that connection must
occur. Some people find this with organized religions; some find it in support
groups; some find it through meditation and communal connections to nature. It
really does not matter which option you choose. It matters that you pursue your
connection and allow the principles of “truth” to become a force in your life!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

that you go back and reflect on your life as a whole. There have been great
successes, great moments of achievement, and great events for which you bore
responsibility. No one is suggesting that you “live in the past.” Rather, it is
important that you recall those moments and times during which your great value
and worth shone and were recognized by others. Getting into that “feeling” of
worth can be a huge motivator to change current circumstances for the better!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -0.25in;">

Perhaps you have been
able to find an appropriate living situation after a foreclosure; maybe you
have secured a job, even though it is not your ideal; perhaps you have
established a new, positive relationship; maybe you have been sober or have
avoided the gambling venues for a month. Success begets success! Build on these
small things as you insist that you really can progress!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -0.25in;">

Alcoholics Anonymous has been such a successful program for so many. People
with little to lose have joined, found relationships and support, and have
moved on to many successes – personal and professional! Using the support of
others is not a weakness – it is a strength!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo2; text-indent: -0.25in;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">5.</span><span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font: 7pt/normal "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Get “outside” of yourself: Wallowing in
self-pity only exacerbates low self-esteem. You may not have a job; you may be
on parole; you may have lost your family. But others are waiting for your help!
Tutor inner-city poverty-stricken children; take care of animals at a local
shelter; bring your music to a nursing home; visit patients who are dying of
cancer. When you see the gratitude on their faces or you receive that lick or
hug, you will know that you have worth and value to others!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Life Throws “Curve Balls”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The most wonderful thing about the human spirit is that it
is resilient and ever-present! Even in our worst moments, we can dig deep into
the recesses or our very being and pull out ideas and strategies to move
ourselves. In doing this, we restore ourselves to our intended purpose – to live,
to thrive, and to love!</span><br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n8VecifLwOA/U5TeoHr48EI/AAAAAAAAD74/9w6OJHvoIbc/s1600/1620483_10151993779990748_1400336721_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-n8VecifLwOA/U5TeoHr48EI/AAAAAAAAD74/9w6OJHvoIbc/s1600/1620483_10151993779990748_1400336721_n.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a></div>
I started this blog in 2011 to tell my adventures of being a fabulous, outgoing girl who has gone through life sitting down and who wants to share the things that I love with other people! I want people to see that my wheelchair does not define me and if you get to know me, you will see that my life is filled with hilarious stories of overcoming challenges, endless exploration for my next favorite outfit, tasty treats and so much more. . .but most of all, I'm just me. I have the most wonderful boyfriend in the world, I love my family, fashion, makeup, music, movies and just living life to the fullest.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I have met so many wonderful people through my blog and have been able to experience so many wonderful opportunities had it not been for <em>I Look Good Today</em>!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />Recently I was contacted by my absolute FAVORITE nail polish company, Julep, to give them a description of what my "signature" nail polish would be and what I would name it. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br />
If you don't know about Julep, you are missing out!!! Julep Maven is a monthly nail polish and beauty subscription box. They make all their own products, so subscribers get a good value each month – over $40 retail worth of product for $24.99 a month.<br />
<br />
Each month Julep releases a new collection on the 20th, and you can decide which box you want, you can upgrade to the entire collection, or you can skip that month. (They recently changed their skip policy – If you’re a new subscriber, you earn a skip every 6 months).<br />
<br />
If you’re new to Julep polish, it’s vegan and 5-free. I personally LOVE the formula! It lasts far longer than any other brand of nail polish I have ever worn (And that is a lot!), it has this wonderful shine and it just goes on to perfection!<br />
<br />
You can check out the colors they currently have available at <a href="http://www.julep.com/shop/nail-polish.html">http://www.julep.com/shop/nail-polish.html</a>. <br />
<br />
So to say the least, being asked to describe my ideal color and being able to name my color, I was absolutely flattered and excited!<br />
<br />
All of Julep's nail polishes are named after women. Although I think having a nail polish named Jamie would be amazing, the more I thought about it, the more I wanted my nail polish (If I am lucky enough to be chosen for this opportunity.) to be called Jasmina (Pronounced Haus-me-na). <br />
<br />
When I was in high school taking a Spanish class, our teacher gave each student a Spanish name that they would be called while in the class; mine was Jasmina. I remember going home and telling it to my family, and it just stuck. <br />
<br />So, what would my signature color look like you ask? Well, if you have visited I Look Good Today for any length of time you would know that my favorite color is. . .purple. I have purple nail polishes, but I have never found an iridescent purple with silver micro glitter in it.<br />

My boyfriend's nickname for me is Twinkle, and the thought of an iridescent purple nail polish with silver micro glitter on my fingers, to me, embodies me perfectly - I love purple and I try to "twinkle" with happiness each and every day . </div>

<span style="font-size: small;">I challenge you to look in the mirror each day and say to yourself, </span><span style="font-size: small;">“I look good today.” This small statement for me became the reminder that it didn’t matter if I was sitting in a wheelchair while all of my family and friends were walking. I am comfortable with ME, and I truly believe that when we tell ourselves that we do have something special inside of us, that small reminder each day helps you to hold your head a little higher and believe that you can accomplish anything you put your mind to. </span></div>

<br />
This week has been full of wonderful little moments that made me smile. Probably the best moments were spent with two of my favorite patients at our hospital. They were here for a clinic appointment and we had made plans for a lunch date. When I came into the lobby to get them, they saw me, screamed my name and ran to me with open arms to give me a big hug. They kept telling me how much they missed me and loved me and the of course wanted to share all the glorious things going on in their little girl worlds. Hearing their giggles and seeing their smiles gives my heart such happiness. I may not be able to have children of my own, but the patients I become so close to are like my children and I just love them to pieces!<br />
<br />
So how was your week? What made you particularly happy?<br />

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UPO3WAGtn8w/U2AZuTXPFGI/AAAAAAAAD6I/XF5-hZ7m0Gc/s1600/1483438_311039889050847_782193834_n.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" closure_lm_95289="null" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UPO3WAGtn8w/U2AZuTXPFGI/AAAAAAAAD6I/XF5-hZ7m0Gc/s1600/1483438_311039889050847_782193834_n.png" height="181" uta="true" width="200" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Hello Sweetie. I found this quote today and it really resonated with me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
All of us have to go through our own challenges in this world. We all have to deal with the cards life has dealt us, whether we want to or not, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Depending on the situation you are going through, it can be very taxing on not only your emotional health, but your physical health as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can tell you that my divorce was THE HARDEST emotional issue I have gone through in my entire life. This was harder for me than any surgery I have had. . .one of which nearly took my life. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I WAS A MESS! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The strong girl that everyone has looked up to in the past was gone. I couldn't find "Happy Jamie" no matter how hard I tried to find her.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It is amazing what time can do though. Life could rebuild itself and I could build a new future.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had regret of a failed marriage. I thought I had everything with my hubby. There was guilt that I couldn't make it work. That I couldn't "fix" our marriage (Yes, I'm a fixer of problems.).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I had regret of not trying to seek help for he and I a lot sooner.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most of all I had regret of not being true to myself and allowing myself to lose who Jamie really was.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
What I have learned is that we all must keep our faith, no matter what that means for you. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We must do what is best for ourselves. I'm not giving you an excuse to be selfish and hurt others for your gain, but I'm saying you need to make good decisions that will bring positive outcomes in your life. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Finally I learned that we are so much stronger than we ever give ourselves credit for, and we must NEVER give up.<br />
<br />
I was completely broken.<br />
<br />
I had my physical form, but I couldn't find ME inside.<br />
<br />
I thankfully had a great support system that held me up when I couldn't hold myself up.<br />
<br />
One day you find that the clouds do part, the sun starts shining again and your life gets back on track.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Would I change this experience? YES.<br />
<br />
Would I have rather not had to go through it? ABSOLUTELY!<br />
<br />
Am I proud of the person I have become because of it? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Whatever your challenge is, know that you are not alone. No matter how lonely you feel, people DO understand what you are going through. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Remember that things WILL get better, no matter how clouded that future has become in your mind. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Most importantly never look back with regret. Your amazing future is waiting!</div>

Hello Lovely. Today I was feeling particularly Springy with so many flowers in bloom, the birds singing and the weather just absolutely perfect for outdoor activity. It makes me feel like love is truly in the air. . .that could also be because I have the most amazing boyfriend a girl could ask for!<br />
<br />
I was very excited this morning to pull out my <a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?BR=f21&Category=dress_fit-and-flare&ProductID=2000126392&VariantID=" target="_blank">Everlasting Love Lace Dress</a> from Forever 21. I originally bought this for a romantic Valentine's Day dinner with my boyfriend, and just like I have fallen in love with him, I am head over heals for this dress.<br />
<br />
I do not like anything too low cut in the front, so for me personally, this rounded neckline is perfect. What you can't see in the picture is that this dress also has a keyhole button closure and cutout in back to give it just a little something extra.<br />
<br />
I will never forget the reaction I got when my boyfriend first saw me in this dress. I was coming out of my bedroom and he was waiting in the living room for me to head to our Valentine's Day dinner. When he saw me he paused for a second, got a huge smile on his face and let out this amazing, "WOW!" I was hoping he would like it, and was thrilled to receive such a response from him! <br />
<br />
We all need that one dress that makes us feel great. It fits right in all the wrong places, it accentuates our femininity and it gives us that confidence booster that yes "I Look Good Today!" <br />
<br />
This is MY I Look Good Today dress. What does yours look like? If you can, post a picture in the comments or tell me all about it below!<br />

<br />
This week I returned from a week long vacation to visit family in PA (My home state) for my cousin Kyle's wedding. It was a beautiful day and one that brought so many family members together that I hadn't seen in over 20 years! I always love seeing what everyone is wearing and the decorations at receptions. I absolutely LOVED the centerpieces at their wedding. So elegant, yet very simple. <br />
<br />

While I was up in PA, the weather took a drastic change. When I arrived it was gorgeous. . .mid 70s, no humidity; definitely a nice change from the balmy weather this Florida girl is used to. This weather is what I was expecting for mid April and that is how I packed. To my surprise, the weather on Tues of last week dropped to in the 30s and snow. . .SNOW! Yes I have seen snow many times, but is has been nine years since I had seen it. I know for my northern readers you probably think I am crazy being so excited to see snow after you have endured a very brutally cold winter, but I was like a little kid seeing it for the first time.</div>

<br />I know it has been a very long time since my last blog post - last July to be exact. However today, on my 36th birthday, I wanted to hopefully get back in to the blog that brought so many amazing people into my life. <br />
<br />
Since we last talked, my life has been a whirlwind of change! As you know I had been married and I shared wiith you many stories of our life together. Well, part of my absence here is due to the fact I was dealing with my divorce. I have to tell you this took me through the darkest time emotionally I have EVER faced in my entire life. I'm sure a lot of you might think that is interesting knowing I live life from a wheelchair and things might not always be "easy" for me. However, no challenge I have ever faced with my disability compared to the heartache I felt making the decision to leave my husband - a man I had been with for 12 years. <br />
<br />
As time has moved on, the clowds have parted, the sun has shined through and I swear I am stronger, happier and more couragous now than I have ever been in my entire life. I look back in amazement of how strong the human spirit truly is! <br />
<br />
I am of course LOVING my job and the little lives I get to be a part of each and every day. I mean, how could you NOT love these little cuties?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
My social life is amazing. I have a wonderful group of friends and the most amazing boyfriend a girl could ask for. I'm excited to tell you all more about him later.<br />
<br />
So being that it is my birthday, I have one wish. I hope you will join me once again here at I Look Good Today so we can continue to touch people's lives and bring some sunshine to each other's day!<br />
<br />

I know that my posts have been few and far between as of late. I know that I have alluded to "things" going on in my life that have kept me away, but haven't truly given explanation of what those things were. I think enough time has passed that I feel I can share what has been going on in my world with you.<br /><br />Are you ready for this? I'm not sure if I am, but I'm going to take a deep breath and pray that writing this will actually be therapeutic<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> </span>for me.<br /><br />Since the beginning of <em>I Look Good Today</em> in 2011, I have shared personal stories with you that revolved around my hubby and I. Stories of how we met, dating, marriage, sex and everything in between. We have been together since 2001 and he was everything to me. I had my prince charming. My fairytale was complete. <br /><br />Well, as any couple does, we had our issues, and to make a long story short, those issues became overwhelming, and in Oct of last year I moved out of our fairytale "castle" and separated from my prince.<br /><br />This decision did not come lightly, it didn't come with first exhausting every opportunity to change the situation and it didn't come without extreme heartache. I found myself a shell of the person that I was leading up to this decision. It was the hardest decision of my life (in our life) to make. I felt my world was ending. We aren't talking a casual relationship that was ending here friends. We were talking twelve years of sharing your life with someone you loved deeply. Twelve years of memories. We met when I was 22! I'm now 35! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So, hopefully you can understand a bit more of why I went off the radar for a while and why I am still, almost a year later, pulling myself back into the routine of writing a daily blog and sometimes it is just easier than others. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This all being said, I look at the calendar and think. . .wow, a year has almost gone by. I look at the person that I had become and who I am now and think. . .oh hello Jamie - there you are, I've missed you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We all go through really hard times in our lives and no one can tell you the extent to how hard you will be hit by your circumstance! Sadly, there was nothing - and I mean nothing - anyone could say to me in my darkest moments that truly consoled me. I felt loved by friends and family, I felt supported, yet I still felt EXTREMELY alone! I was a prisoner in my own head. I cried daily. I was in literal hell! I could not believe that a marriage, a partnership, that had been so strong was crumbling before me and there were too many broken pieces for us to pick up without getting hurt some more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I literally thought my story was ended. He was the love of my life. Was anyone going to love me like that again? Was I ever going to feel whole again?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It is amazing to me how we go through circumstances in our lives and honestly experience a flood of emotions. I was sad, I was angry, depressed, fearful, faithful, anxious with anticipation, excited for what could be, devastated of what was, guilty for not being able to make things work. . .<br /><br />Can you understand where I am coming from? You may not have experienced saperating from your spouse, but I am sure you have faced challenges in your life that have been overwhelming.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

What I have learned is this. Life does go on. The sun will continue to shine. You will find happiness again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My mother gave me very good advice, probably the best I have heard, when I was at my worst. She told me to focus. Focus on one, just ONE thing each day that made me happy - that was a positive in my life and hold on to it to carry me through the day. Do you know how hard even that was for me? I was lucky to be functional, and now I was supposed to find something positive? I was going down a very dark and scary path and I knew that if I was going to make it, I needed help.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Luckily I didn't fall in to any of the substance abuse techniques of coping - believe me, it would have been easy to do so. I just focused on the positive as my mother said, I surrounded myself with family and friends, I prayed and found comfort in my faith and just took one day at a time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Looking back, a new person, a stronger person, I can tell you with resounding confidence that YES someone will love me and YES I will feel whole again and YES my story isn't over - in fact, it is just beginning. </div>

<strong>What It Is:</strong> Julep bottled the beach!

<br />
<strong>How To Use:</strong> Spray on damp or dry hair, finger dry or let air dry. For maximum body, diffuse with heat. Works on wet hair to create volume, on dry hair for piecy texture.<br />
<strong></strong>
<strong>Features & Benefits:</strong>
<ul>
<li>Creates soft, natural looking texture without getting crunchy or greasy. </li>
<li>Natural sea salt adds texture and volume with a slight matte finish.</li>
<li>Marine botanicals provide moisture and protect hair from sun damage.</li>
</ul>
I have natuarlly really wavey hair, but you would never know that because I get my hair Japanese straightened once a year for a sleek look. <br />
<br />
I do love that loose curl look. I was always so envious of girls who had it. . .aren't we always wanting what we don't have with our hair? <br /><br />When my July Julep box came and this was included I was THRILLED! I couldn't wait to try it! This smells amazing and gave my straight locks a beachy, sea salt kissed bounce.

Hello Sunshine. How was your week? Mine was filled with TV interviews, visits with college football players, home cooked meals and evening walks with my BFF. Everything about this week seemed to leave me with a feeling of pride. I am so proud to be a part of the BeYOUty Camp. Proud to be a USF alumni and getting to interact with current players of the Bulls football team. Proud to be an example to our patients that no matter your disabiliy, you CAN and WILL accomplish your dreams if you put your mind to it. <br />
<br />
When I started this blog I never imagined the outpouring of support from everyone. The sweet emails and comments and posts on Facebook and Twitter I receive are absolutely humbling. You share your life with me and I appreciate it more than you will EVER know! <br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend!</div>

Good Morning Gorgeous! I am smitten! Absolutely 100% head over heals! <br />
<br />
This is a long overdue review of <a href="http://www.julep.com/zelda.html">Julep Zelda</a>! Yes, the name of this polish is Zelda! It’s not Zelda Ocarina Time of Zelda, though. This polish was named after Zelda Fitzgerald, the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald, the author of the Great Gatsby. I got this polish as a part of Julep’s May Maven box, which was flapper styled (I think because many beauty product companies expected The Great Gatsby movie to leave a great impact on the female viewers…)<br />
<br />
This polish consist of silver shiney coat, and light copper ‘dye’ that colors the silver pieces. It is very similar to <a href="http://nailnaily.wordpress.com/2013/04/06/julep-sienna/" title="Julep Sienna">Julep Sienna</a>, but it feels cooler because of the silver base tone. And like Sienna, and <a href="http://nailnaily.wordpress.com/2013/03/12/julep-cindy-swatch-2/" title="Julep Cindy Swatch 2">Cindy</a>, this Julep metallic nail polish goes on really well without leaving streaks. I remember Julep blog calling this color a pink gold polish. I guess I can see that but I still would label this color copper-ish silver polish.<br />
<br />
Although metallic polishes are never grabbed upon first glance in my polish stash, I have to say that I was blown away by her opacity, her smoothness, and her subtle, classy, but equally sassy color. As you can see, shimmer shimmer shimmy shim shimmer. <br />

Good Morning Lovely. I realized that I haven't done a What I'm Wearing Wednesday post in quite some time and when I wore this little number recently, I just loved how it all came together! I know we all have "those outfits" that simply make you feel great - this is one of mine!<br />
<br />
I have been running on turbo lately (Thank goodness my chair has a seatbelt. . .I hope that made you smile). I just simply been busy with work and social events that this girl hasn't had time to take a breather. I am however going to be taking a trip in Aug to visit my hometown in PA for my grandmother's 91st birthday - I can't wait.<br />
<br />
I have some exciting new posts coming up, as well as a fabulous giveaway you won't want to miss.<br />
<br />
I'd love your thoughts on What I'm Wearing Wednesday!<br />

For example, when you notice a woman’s perfectly un-chipped, pale pink manicure, do you immediately think that she’s conservative and sophisticated?<br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
Whether they’re glammed up with sparkly polish or left plain and unadorned, nails can tell a lot about a person. And with all of today’s polish and decor options, there are countless ways to speak volumes about yourself. This may make you wonder, what do my nails say about me?</div>

These say the wearer, like Brooklyn Decker, is “perfectly polished,” pun intended. Fire engine-red nails tell others that you are daring, outgoing, and highly confident. Wear these for a night out to show off your diva side!</div>

Blue and black are not for the faint of heart. These shades tell others that you are outgoing and live on the wild side. When people see these nails, like on comedian Whitney Cummings, they get the impression that you live an adrenaline-filled lifestyle full of constant excitement!</div>

Stars like Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, and Jessica Simpson are frequently seen appearing to be in need of a manicure. When people see chipped nail polish, they can tell that you live a busy lifestyle and don’t have a lot of time to relax (or worse, don't care much about your appearance). If you see that your polish is chipped, take three minutes out of your day to remove the rest. Clean, naked nails are better than the alternative.</div>

<br />
Hello Gorgeous. I hope you all had a lovely long Memorial Day Weekend! <br />
<br />
I woke up this morning simply on cloud 9 and ready to concur the day. I just simply have some things and people in my life right now that continually bring a smile to my face. <br />
<br />
On the flip side, I am saddened. Two very dear friends had great losses in their families this weekend. One lost a great grandmother and one her father. Another friend was rushed to the hospital by ambulance because her left side went completely numb.<br />
<br />
I have some friends going through very rough times at work and in their finances. <br />
<br />
I also spoke with a friend that may have a new job singing on a cruise ship.<br />
<br />
When I think back on the tidal wave of emotions that overtook me in a simple weekend. . .love, laughter, sadness, fear, hope, excitement. . .I couldn't help but to think of how it is SO IMPORTANT to choose a positive outlook on life, no matter your situation.<br />
<br />
I know what you are saying. . .<br />
<br />
"If you even knew what I was going through, you'd see why I don't have a smile on my face."<br />
<br />
I know that life's circumstances can be overwhelming. Believe me, I understand more than you know! I have been through things in my life that I simply saw no light at the end of the tunnel. No hope. No happy ending. <br />
<br />
With the help of a supportive family and friends, my faith and simply choosing to not give up, those negative feelings that were all consuming and sweeping me out to sea, became more of a soft wake than a rolling tidal wave. <br />
<br />
How we deal with things in life is a choice. Yes, feelings and emotions are circumstantial, but we still have a choice. <br />
<br />
My mother, a very wise woman, has given me much advice throughout my life. She is truly my sounding board. One of the things she has told me that has stuck in my head since I was a little girl is this. . .<br />
<br />We have very limited control over so many aspects of our life. Don't waste your emotions on those things you have no control over.<br />
<br />
Yes, yes I know - easier said than done to not worry or dwell. However, I have lived my life trying to do just that. Now, I am not saying just throw caution to the wind. That isn't what my mother meant. What she meant was - we have to take control and put our time and emotions into things that we can make a difference in. Those "what if this" or "what if that" happens moments are not constructive and only lead to feelings that will <span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">inevitably </span>take you to very dark places.<br />
<br />
So today I choose to hold on to those feelings that make me feel good. Those people, those moments that put a smile on my face. <br />
<br />
Today I choose to help carry those through their rough waters so they can come up for fresh air and see that there is hope. <br />
<br />
We don't get to choose too many things in our life experienes, but we can choose our reactions to what comes our way. <br />
<br />
Remember inner peace begins the moment we choose to not allow another person or event to control our emotions.<br />
<br />
So friends, find that inner sunshine and put on your best summer smile!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Oh, silly rabbit! I’m not talking about afternoon snacks (although they sound pretty scrumptious, don’t they?). Those are just three of the nine new sinful shades of natural and brown lippies in Milani’s new deliciously pigmented Color Statement Lipstick line.<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
<strong>My Rating:</strong> 5 out of 5 Kisses!<br /><br />Make a statement without saying a word! True instant color. One stroke, full coverage application. This next generation lipstick gives the ultimate in color, texture and finish. The lightweight creamy formula contains vitamins A, C and E to moisturize and nourish lips. Paraben-free.<br /><br />I was really impressed with these lipsticks! First off, they are super affordable at just $5.49 each full retail price - and let's not even start to think how affordable they'd become with coupons and/or sales! The pigmentation in these lipsticks in unreal for a drugstore brand; they are super pigmented and go on fantasticly. If you're looking for a sheer lipstick these are NOT for you, but if you want a full color, richly pigmented lipstick then look no further.<br /><br />Honestly, I find these to be as good or better than higher end brands. I also really like the packaging because the bottoms are color coordinated with the lipstick inside, making them super easy to find what color you're looking for and they look beautiful stored in my lipstick organizer.<br /><br />My favorites in this new line are Teddy Bare, Dulce Caramelo, Candied Toffees and Bronze Beauty.<br />
<br />
I think this collection of colors really have a nice assortment for all skintones - from fair to deep - I think there is something for everyone in this bunch!<br />

Recently, Tori Spelling sat down to celebrate the upcoming 20th anniversary of the very famous “Donna Martin Graduates” episode of Beverly Hills, 90210. The episode, titled ‘Something in the Air,’ premiered on May 12, 1993. You might remember: All of the students rallied together to overturn the school board’s ruling that Donna could not graduate. They began the famous chant ‘Donna Martin Graduates!’ Can you believe that was 20 years ago? This anniversary sparked me to look back in the TV time machine and see how long ago some of my favorite TV moments occurred.<br />
<br />

You might remember the September 28, 1991 episode of Growing Pains ‘In Vino Veritas,’ when homeless student Luke Bower moves in with the Seaver family. The new family had their ‘growing pains,’ but they eventually learned to love one another and moved to D.C.!<br />

This couple, although very young, made me believe in love. Let me cut right to the chase: On October 15, 1993, Cory and Topanga shared their first kiss in ‘Cory’s Alternative Friends.’ It was young and innocent. In episodes to come, they fought, they cried, but most importantly they loved one another unconditionally. I think the rest is history. Which brings me to my next favorite moment…<br />

This might not have been a major moment for most of you, but it’s something that always stands out in my mind. You know: Ross and those damn leather pants! In ‘The One with All the Resolutions’, the Friends gang decided to make some serious, life-changing decisions. Well, Ross decided to wear leather pants. And on January 7, 1999 he made the very sweaty mistake of taking them off to go the bathroom. They got stuck and he found himself in a very uncomfortable situation. It all worked out and five years later, Rachel got off the plane!<br />

Will she pick Dawson or Pacey? That was the constant question in my mind for Ms Joey Potter of the teen drama Dawson's Creek. Although when the series started she was pining over one Dawson Leery, and I will admit their first kiss in his bedroom to end season one made this girl weak in the knees, I always preferred her paired with Pacey. The budding romance between Joey and Pacey had every girl screaming "FINALLY" when they kissed on March 1, 2000 in 'A Cinderella Story.'</div>

Good Morning Ladies. After months of wearing socks, boots and closed toed shoes it is time to set our toes free!</div>

During winter months when humidity is low, skin dries out more rapidly. In some cases, feet get so dry they peel or crack. While there are plenty of prescription medications that work wonders, I like to start with home remedies, which are inexpensive and can be just as effective. <br /><br />To soften super-dry areas, soak your feet in original Listerine Antiseptic Mouthwash (yes, Listerine!) once or twice a week. Mix one part Listerine with two parts warm water in a basin and soak your feet for 15 to 20 minutes. Then apply a moisturizer like Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Foot Creme, which contains hydrating urea. In addition to skin-sloughing benzoic acid, Listerine contains ethanol, which kills bacteria, fungi, and germs that can lead to athlete’s foot.<br /><br />Coating feet in a cream like Burt’s Bees Thoroughly Therapeutic Honey & Bilberry Foot Creme, which is loaded with moisture-replenishing honey and jojoba oil, and wearing socks to bed is an excellent way to lock in moisture for softer feet. If you can’t stand to sleep in socks, place a humidifier at the foot of your bed to keep feet hydrated.

Good Morning Gorgeous! As you probably know, there are subtle things that men and women do in relationships to demonstrate how they truly feel. Often, the most telling signs are those that are not immediately apparent. In fact, some of these signs are completely unconscious. <br />
<br />
Body language experts around the world study how unconscious body motions and movements signify what men and women are feeling. What your significant other cannot say in words, he or she shows through body language. It’s amazing what kind of information you can pick up on if you’re paying attention.<br />
<br />
Although there are literally thousands of different body language signals, one of the most commonly referred to is hand-holding styles, especially when it comes to relationships. How couples hold hands says a lot about how they are feeling about their relationship at the moment. So, what does your hand- holding style say about your relationship?<br />
<br />
<strong>Palm Facing Down</strong>If your palm is facing down, you are taking the lead in the relationship right now. In this case, your wrist crosses in front of your partner’s. If you are feeling more dominant in the moment, you are likely to choose this hand-holding style.<br />
<br />
The next time you plan date night, notice the way you’re holding hands. Body language experts agree that your palm is most likely to be facing down because you feel in control and confident.<br />
<br />
If you notice that your palm is consistently facing down, it may be a sign that you naturally take a dominant role in relationships.<br />
<br />
<strong>Fingers Intertwined</strong><br />
If your fingers are intertwined, you are feeling emotionally and physically connected as a couple. In this case, your fingers should be interlocked. If you are feeling completely in sync, you are likely to choose this hand-holding style.<br />
<br />
Body language experts claim that this hand-holding style is more common at the end of a date than at the beginning. After a romantic evening or gesture, it is quite likely that your fingers will be intertwined to demonstrate your closer connection.<br />
<br />
If you notice that your fingers are consistently intertwined, it may be a sign that this relationship is going to go the distance.<br />
<br />
<strong>Loosely Connected</strong>If your fingers are loosely connected, you are feeling emotionally distant as a couple. In this case, you are connected by only a few fingers and your bodies are separated by a sizable gap. If you are feeling trapped by the relationship or more independent, you are likely to go with this hand-holding style.<br />
<br />
This hand-holding style is most common shortly after or before a fight. You are feeling more casual about the relationship and need some space.<br />
<br />
If you notice that your fingers are consistently loosely connected, it may be a sign that a fight or breakup is coming your way.<br />
<br />
Now that you know what your hand-holding style says about your unconscious, does it seem to fit what is going on in your relationship?

<em>The Great Gatsby</em>, due out early next month, has the whole world excited: amazing actors, Baz Luhrmann, and one breathtaking set of costumes. Along with the clothes are stunning jewels, by none other than Tiffany & Co. The Great Gatsby collection—which appears both in the film and is inspired by it, will make any girl feel like hitting up a 1920's ball.

Good Morning Lovely. My last post we traveled back in fashion time and saw how many of the styles that were so popular in the 80's and 90's are coming back in to style. Some of those items I am rather excited about, while others, I can definitely leave in yesteryear.</div>

Today, we are going to take another trip back in time, but this time look at accessories and makeup that every girl seemed to own and wouldn't leave the house without. Although I don't see these coming back anytime soon, it was a fun a trip down memory lane.</div>

Is your wardrobe having deja vu? With fashion's ever-revolving door, trends we thought were dead and buried in the back of our closets have come back. Here are some fads I know I never thought I'd wear again — and how to revive them if you so choose.</div>

Call Brenda Walsh and Kelly Taylor — the crop top is taking over the catwalks faster than you can yell "Donna Martin graduates!" But this isn't your Tiffany Theissen brand of belly baring: At Balenciaga and Miu Miu, skin was exposed in a tight strip that only showed the rib cage—no baby tees or belly jewels allowed.</div>

If your parents never let you dress like Courtney Love in high school, there's still time thanks to Hedi Slimane. The new creative director of Saint Laurent Paris showed a provocative Fall 2013 collection where shredded black nylons, oversize cardigans, and iconic plaid flannels were de rigeur. (Besides being the apparent muse, Love is now the face of the collection's campaigns.) Grab your Manic Panic and get to work building "My So Called Wardrobe."</div>

<strong>The White Eyeliner</strong><br />Say "Ciao, Manhattan!" and hello to white eyeliner: This Edie Sedgwick staple came back into the spotlight at Marc Jacobs' and Moschino's Spring 2013 collections. Makeup artist Francois Nars created the look on model muse Ruby Jean Wilson, but the favorite for pigment and long-lasting wear is Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner in Snow. Do a basic cat-eye with black liquid liner first, then add a strong line of white just above it, add heaps of mascara (clumps okay if you're going for Edie's madcap glam look) and you're a Factory Girl!</div>

<strong>The Perm</strong><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<br />Nobody puts Baby in a corner, but they can blow-out her hair… right? Apparently not, according to a slew of reports that perms are back. But this isn't Jennifer Grey's curly bob—it's a new process with more gentle chemicals designed to emulate the perfect Boho waves of Blake Lively and Rachel Zoe without the heat-damage of a curling iron. And if your stylist goes too far with the look, you can always call Teen Witch and beg her to fix it.</div>

<br /><strong>The White Heel</strong><br />We all remember Carrie Bradshaw's white heels in Paris—and how they turned from a fashion "do" into fashion "doo-doo" thanks to an unlucky walk near some dogs. But that hasn't stopped Prada and Jil Sander from sending white shoes down the runway, and making "watch your step" a literal edict for street style stars in Milan and London.<br /><br />Prada Patent Leather Platform Sandals, $850; <a href="http://www.neimanmarcus.com/p/Prada-Patent-Leather-Platform-Sandal-White-Sandals/prod152510159_cat40840748__/?ItemId=prod152510159&ecid=NMALRJ84DHJLQkR4&CS_003=5630585">neimanmarcus.com</a></div>

<strong>The Bootcut Jean</strong><br />When Regina George ruled the school in 2004, the choice denim of her minions was a classic five-pocket bootcut. But thanks to The Strokes and the women who loved them, skinny jeans soon conquered the scene and the fashion world hasn't really looked back—until now. Hudson, Paige and even Burberry have bootcut jeans in their current collections, and they look great with almost everything. (Just remember Regina's golden rule: On Wednesdays, we wear pink.)</div>

<strong>The Trucker Hat</strong><br />Laguna Beach stopped airing new episodes in 2006, but its legacy is apparently alive and well, even if you don't read Lauren Conrad's adorable lifestyle blog. The proof? A sudden resurrection of the trucker hat, once worn with glee by Californicators, Brooklyn Hipsters, and Lindsay Lohan—way back when she was famous for being an actress. Somehow, the trucker hat appeared on last year's Marc by Marc Jacobs runway and now Roxy and ASOS have taken up the torch. Wear it while blasting your Phantom Planet CD at full volume…<br /><br />Sick Girl Multi Colored Ombre Snapback Cap, $58.19; <a href="http://us.asos.com/Sick-Girl-Multi-Colored-Ombre-Snapback-Cap/zbi25/?iid=2707906&MID=35719&affid=2135&WT.tsrc=Affiliate&siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-Tu.w7.cpQvHfJafieM5OyA&r=2&mporgp=L1NpY2stR2lybC9TaWNrLUdpcmwtTXVsdGktQ29sb3VyZWQtT21icmUtU25hcGJhY2stQ2FwL1Byb2Qv">asos.com</a></div>

<strong>Colored Mascara</strong><br />Attention, rave babies: Colored mascara is back, but it's a bit more sophisticated than you remember. This time around, the chosen hues are plums and violets (not neon green—sorry!) and they're meant to bring out the natural flecks of green and gold that are already in your eyes. Try BeneFit Bad Gal Mascara in Plum (best for brown and green eyes) and Clarins Instant Definition Mascara in Intense Plum (best for blue and gray eyes).<br /><br />Benefit BadGal Plum Mascara, $19; <a href="http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/product/view/badgal-plum-mascara?ext_id=adaff_J84DHJLQkR4&siteID=J84DHJLQkR4-zD7b6_Ycd9UhrQTUdiD.Tg">benefitcosmetics.com</a><br />Clarins Instant Definition Mascara, $24; <a href="http://www.clarinsusa.com/Instant-Definition-Mascara/C050203011,en_US,pd.html?dwvar_C050203011_color=04%20intense%20plum&start=1">clarinsusa.com</a></div>

Good Morning Gorgeous. I haven't done a What I'm Wearing Wednesday post in a while and I thought since today I turn 35 I would share with you what I was wearing to celebrate my special day.<br />
<br />
I didn't know how I would feel about reaching the half way point through my 30s, but honestly I'm so excited. I have accomplished a lot in my lifetime and I know, although I am not a kid, the adventure is just beginning. <br />
<br />
Not to sound egotistical, but I think I look better at 35 than I did at 25. . .like a fine wine, getting better with age lol. In all seriousness though, I do. I think it is because at 35 I KNOW who I am. I'm comfortable with me and I simply embrace the woman I have become. <br />
<br />
I look forward to all that 35 has to offer and believe me. . .35 has never looked this good!<br />

Hello Lovely.<br />
<br />
My heart is heavy today. My mind is numb. This past Sunday I found out my best friend from high school was admitted into the hospital. Her left arm and face went numb and turns out there were blood clots on her brain. Since being in the hospital, she has had a second procedure to remove an additional clot from her brain and now doctors have found clots IN her brain. <br />
<br />I was at the hospital with her last night. I haven't seen this friend in 12 years, although we do keep in touch online. It broke my heart to see her laying there, and made me sit back and think how blessed I truly am and how we should never not take the opportunity to tell someone we love them or simply be the best version of us that we can be.<br />
<br />
I'm sorry this isn't the most chipper Friday Flashback that you have ever read, but we are real here at I Look Good Today, and this has sadly been my week. <br /><br />I'd like to ask for your well wishes, thoughts, prayers and good vibes from my wonderful I Look Good Today friends. I'm certainly praying for a miracle!<br />
