I was reading about Dressing Your Truth's current Spread The Love promotion and saw this quote:
"Discover why your flaws are actually your best features."
My "flaw" that I've despised for years is my eyebrows. Yup, you read that right. I've hated my eyebrows ever since I was a teenager. I realized that my eyebrows were different from other girls and I always thought something was wrong with them that needed to be fixed. When I was in young women's I remember having a beauty night where we learned about hair and body care including makeup. I self-consciously approached the teacher asking what could be done about my eyebrows because they seemed to have cowlicks that drove me crazy. The teacher told me I could start waxing my eyebrows to get the subtle arch that most people have.  For a couple years I did get them waxed periodically and then would pluck stray hairs in between waxings.  I tried to make my eyebrows into a soft and subtle curve that I so desperately wish I had naturally and I remember feeling embarrassed most of the time because I thought everyone else noticed how unruly those cowlicks were!  I tried to lightly brush brown mascara on my eyebrows because a lot of the hairs were really faint.  I was still frustrated with them, but I maintained this technique for years up until I went through my divorce.

After my divorce I was really on a quest to figure out who I am. I didn’t even know what I liked anymore and I had a strong desire to have some sort of style, but didn’t know how to learn to have a style. My neighbor at the time was a hair stylist and I found myself again in turmoil about my eyebrows. I wanted to start dating and was really self-conscious of my eyebrows.  I lamented to her about my cowlicks which according to Wikipedia are, "A section of hair that stands straight up or lies at an angle at odds with the style in which the rest of an individual's hair is worn." An angle at odds with the style of the rest of the hair… That pretty much summed up my feelings about my eyebrows – at odds with my face! If only they were different! My neighbor introduced me to eyebrow pencils and I experimented with pencils for another two years before I discovered Dressing Your Truth.

Now that you have the back story I hope you can see how much I appreciated the information from Dressing Your Truth because as I took the course, I realized for the first time in my life that my eyebrows were the perfect expression of me. I learned new ways to explain my previously annoying “flaw” and now see that my eyebrows are angular and one of my best features. At one part of the online course Carol tells you to look into a mirror and study your facial features to see if any of the keywords from the different types are being expressed in your face. I immediately realized my eyebrows were edgy and there was no question in my mind rather I was a type 3 or not. I am active, reactive, edgy, angular, substantial, fiery, dynamic, and determined and so are my features – especially my eyebrows. I quickly learned the best way to highlight them was to use eyebrow powder and for the first time in my life I’ve been getting compliments on my eyebrows! The information I’ve learned from Dressing Your Truth has been transformative for me. Those years ago after my divorce I was searching for a style, a way to physically express and validated who I am, and when I learned about Dressing Your Truth I knew it was the information I had been looking for.

I've been wanting to add watermelon to a smoothie for a long time but didn't do it until today.  I have to say it was very tasty and wanted to share the recipe.  I had some watermelon that was overripe that I knew my kids wouldn't eat so I chopped it up and put in my Vitamix.  I looked online for some ideas of what to add to it and found this post.  I had a triple berry frozen fruit mix from Costco that I used as well as some 100% fruit juice.  YUM!  The kids loved it and it was the perfect refreshing treat after a long bike ride. 

WATERMELON SMOOTHIE
5-6 cups chopped watermelon
2 cups frozen berries
1/2 - 1 cup 100% fruit juice ( I used pineapple orange)

Blend til smooth and enjoy!
