It has been a while now that I want to talk to you about what motivates me, what makes me want to wake up and live life to the fullest. I love when life’s punchy, when everything goes fast. Especially when I know I gave the most of myself and know my day was worth living. That’s me, I can’t stop, I’m always super active…
Well sometimes, not so much though, I feel really down in the dumps! As soon as I feel like that, I go for my tricks to cheer me up. Do you want to know my secret weapons to feel better? It may give you some good ideas if you feel like that one day!
So here it is, I may feel like crap for several reasons:
Reason 1: I need a good night sleep or a sunny day, and I look like hell! Disgusting dark rings under my eyes, awful greyish complexion, well not looking gorgeous if you know what I mean… my secret weapon: to wash my hair AND to have a head massage (not for ages of course…). For now, I am so into this product that you can find on trendy websites: “Perfect Cleansing Cream”, which is not really a shampoo but rather a cleaning cream with olive oil. It gives you baby soft hair, I swear, this product is awesome! And it smells so good, no need to use a conditioner anymore!
If my internal dosages are still in the red, I unleash my plan B: a healthy and cosy mask straight from Korea and brought back by Colleen during her last vacation (read her post here). The first time I opened one of those little pockets I was surprised that this mask rests on the face like a second skin with holes for the eyes, nose, mouth, it’s too funny and the scent is divine. This mask is like a layer of sweetness that regenerates your skin! Hold on! For once, I’m talking beauty, Colleen will be proud of me, her advice is starting to work on me and no I’m not hopeless I do understand beauty. Oh please Colleen teach me how to apply eyeshadow like a pro…it’s a little message by post posted … could you teach me not to look like a cocker spaniel with teary eyes !! But that’s another story …
Stage 2: Full black in my head! And it’s not just my face that doesn’t smile for me anymore but also my sloppy, flabby, Breuk, # $% @ * & body, ! Well I’m deeply down in the dumps!! In this case and to learn to love my dear body again, I apply on myself some very cool small tattoos that help me to relieve stress and restore my smile. I can’t explain, these little drawings make me feel good, they’re shiny, they are funny, and smell like holidays, I just love them!
Last resort and totally in opposition to the above mentioned problem: I organize for myself an orgy of chocolate marshmallows !!!! A bad skin habit that dates from my childhood and that I can’t be rid of , especially since, I found the object of all my culinary fantasies here 2 steps from my home … The taste of chocolate fudge … the very sweet marshmallow on my tongue … a total pleasure doing its job since thanks to these adorable little bears, real Proust’s madeleine, I’ve re-energized my turbo and my endorphins are back!
“A little bit of sweetness in this cruel world” might be my new motto!
And you, what works for your endorphins,?
