Stuck like glue

 I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this song every time I hear it, it makes me super happy!!!
 :) Sugarland is amazing and this video makes me smile every time it comes on. I turn on my tv to CMT every morning while getting ready and I sit there and wait for them to play this! :D This morning it never came on though so I had to find it at work and most video websites are blocked here but luckily for me I found one that worked! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! :D

Miss USA?

 

What does Miss USA have to do with this post?

Not much actually I just found this quote this morning that I absolutely LOVED and it made me wish a contestant in one of the beauty pageants one day would come up with this answer for the question of what they would wish for- Instead of just saying "World Peace"

If there is to be peace in the world, There must be peace in the nations. If there is to be peace in the nations, There must be peace in the cities. If there is to be peace in the cities, There must be peace between neighbors. If there is to be peace between neighbors, There must be peace in the home. If there is to be peace in the home, There must be peace in the heart. chinese philospher - lao-tse - 6th century bce

I don't think too many people realize how we can create peace right here right now no matter what our lives look like. Peace starts with having Love in ones heart, and with that love your light can shine brightly and touch the lives of millions. You never know what one good deed will do for this world.

Why is it???

Ok women, answer me this, why is it that if we spend HOURS getting ready in the morning and "try" to look like this...



To no avail do we even get one compliment???
After all, that was the whole purpose in spending that much time layering on the make up and putting on the super chic outfits to impress everyone on our "Look how hot I am" attire

BUT

those days we are running late, just dont really give a care, or super lazy moods, we put on the first thing that we can grasp from our closet, MAYBE brush our hair or put on the slightest bit- if any at all makeup.. and look something like this..

people give us the most compliments???

This was something I was pondering after a brief run in with a girl I work with in the break room.
I think she is so adorable, has super cute hair and way cute clothes. There are a few women in my building that are very well dressed and presentable women :) I am not sure why- but I feel like most women dress to impress other girls..kind of like saying "Look at me, you wish you looked like this dont you?!"
crazy right?!..but I really feel there is truth to that statement.

Anyway, this morning I actually woke up an hour early and as I layed in my bed, I contemplated getting up and taking some time to look extra cute today and maybe even get a little extra time in at work- THEN my sleepiness set in and over weighed any thought of putting effort into the way I look today-after all- its Friday..I dont have school after this, I get to just go home after work. So I took a little more time to snooze away...unfortunately for me, instead of waking up on time to my alarm...I slept through it! Sooooo
now-there really was no time to get dressed. I woke up, brushed my teeth splashed some water on the mess of a hair do I had since its growing out- its a little uncontrollable when I wake up, anyway I threw on an outfit that sounded cute in my head...

once I threw it on I realized it wasnt going to work..so I changed my undershirt a couple of times in a last ditch effort to look presentable..and was out of time so I realized no matter what- it would have to do.

I just went to the break room to get my daily dose of caffeine and a very unhealthy bag of cookies for breakfast and as I walked in I noticed the girl I mentioned above..I put my head down and pulled the jacket around me a little tighter that I just happened to leave at work the day before and I wanted to hide.. I didnt feel cute and I didnt want her to see what I was wearing. Lol (really...why does it even matter????)
anyway, she stopped me and looked at my outfit and had a huge smile on her face telling me that I always look so adorable when I come to work. I shyly thanked her and walked away.

I know some people say those things to make you feel better when they realize you really do look like crap. But oh well, I am going to take it as she was being genuine.

So, my message to all of you today is this.

In all reality, clothes, make up and shoes really dont make a person, we are all very special and unique in our own ways :) there is not one person in this entire world that is exactly like you, so even if you dont feel special or unique remember- you are the only YOU in this world!

 and that makes you incredibly amazing!!!
A persons beauty should be reflected by their heart and words rather than their appearance. :D
