Hello everyone, and welcome to my Weekly Wishes #14 with The Nectar Collective! Before we get started, I just wanted to say thank you to Jenny, Rebecca, Amanda and Katie for writing amazing guest posts for last week’s series on body confidence and acceptance! It was such a honor to be able to share their stories with all of you, and I hope you found some great new blogs to follow if you hadn’t been following them already! Alright, so let’s take a look at my wishes from two weeks ago to see if I accomplished them (or not) and then think about my wishes for this coming week. Weekly Wishes is a linkup where you share things you want to get done within the next week and then report on your progress and make more wishes each week, and the cycle keeps repeating itself.
Here are my wishes from last week:
— Figure out what to do with my hair. Done! I got all-over blonde highlights Friday night, and tonight I have an appointment to get pink streaks put in as well. I’m super happy with how it looks so far, and it’s given me such a confidence boost! I’d been wanting to do something new and different to my hair for a long time now, and for one reason or another I kept putting it off, so I’m glad to have finally done something! It took me a little bit to get used to because my hair is so light now, but I absolutely love it. Head over to my Instagram to see the sneak peek I posted!
— Get out of my box more. Does getting pink streaks count? Haha. This is something that’s been on my mind a lot lately, and it’s something I’ll continue to be aware of. Like I said, being blonde again has given me such a confidence boost, so I think that’ll help me get out of my box more as well.
Here are my wishes for this week:
— Find more ways to incorporate natural products into my routines/life. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a while, so I’m finally making the jump. My boyfriend works at Swanson Health Products, a local health store, so he’s always bringing home new natural products for skincare, food, supplements, etc. Also, my friend Amanda has been posting about natural makeup and cosmetics, bath, hair and skincare and household and cleaning products, and there are just so many different things I want to try! I’ve started taking Vitamin C and Vitamin D-3 supplements, and I just want to be both more careful and aware about what products I’m using and eating. I also just signed up for Petit Vour, which is a monthly subscription box similar to Ipsy, except it features only natural, vegan products.
— Focus on happiness more. This seems super simple and like it shouldn’t even be worth mentioning, but I want to make a point of following my own happiness and focusing on myself instead of worrying about others so much. I’ve struggled with this problem for a long time (years, actually), and I’ve wasted too much time thinking about what other people think or want. To paraphrase from one of my favorite movies, I should be the leading lady in my own life! And leading ladies always go after what they want. So here I go! 🙂
What are your wishes for the coming week?
