+Getting your "P" Back: Week 6: Shine Bright Baby

Happy Sunday my beauties. I know I am late but the best things come to those who wait. I have a special gem for everyone who reads this blog this week, just for you and will promote some self care and helping everyone to upgrade your skincare routine to the next level, but we will get to that at the end.

Ever felt like you had to tone down your awesomeness just to make others comfortable? Or maybe you had to act less smart or cool so your friends wouldn't judge you for being yourself or doing your thing? Have you ever felt this way in a relationship, like if you shine too bright, your partner might bail or get upset? It's sad but true that this kind of stuff happens more than we think, and sometimes we don't even notice it's happening.

I have found myself in situations where I dimmed my light to avoid conflict, missing out on opportunities in the process. I now understand that I did this to seek acceptance from others. I used to downplay my qualities, laughing at jokes made about me and rejecting compliments, especially when out with friends. This behavior led me to withdraw and appear unapproachable, ultimately causing me to lose touch with my true self. I even faced criticism for being "boring" due to staying in or having a partner. Dimming my light had a negative impact on my relationships, as I allowed others to interfere and create chaos. Recognizing this pattern, I am now reclaiming my light and embracing my true self, knowing that this is crucial for healthy relationships.

There was a time when I hesitated to fully showcase my talents, especially in my business endeavors such as creating this blog. However, I am fully aware of my capabilities and the excellence of my body care line. Despite my fears of rejection, I recognize the exceptional quality of my products. I refrained from promoting them as much as I should have, out of concern for potential criticism or competition. Nevertheless, I have devoted years to developing and perfecting my body care line, and I am confident in its value and effectiveness. Any doubts or self-deprecating thoughts I entertained were merely obstacles that I overcame with determination and perseverance.

Dimming your light to make others feel comfortable does nothing to help you at the end of the day. Remember that anyone who truly loves you will uplift you and all of your talents. They will be supportive of all your beauty and brains. Rejection is going to happen and that is within friendships, family, relationships, and the world. Never continue to dim your light so that everyone will be happy with you being on their level. Those sayings" o, that must be nice", "She thinks she better than us"," Hmm, you think you too good for us anymore cause you now have xyz". Allow them to say all these things and be comfortable with it. Hold your head high and when you hear this just respond with a smile and say yes it is nice or no I just work hard for what I have and what I want. And even if the people you are getting these comments from are those you love or feel you have loyalty to will cause you sometimes to dim your light to make them feel good about them selves because they need you to stay down on their level, DO NOT CONTINUE TO DO THIS. You are beautiful, you are fabulous, and you deserve to prosper. Shine bright baby!

This week, I have a special treat for everyone. Each week we have a self care engagement activity. This week I am going to have a BOGO sale for all body butters. With code : Luxury, you can get any body butters this week Monday- Friday. This will include Body Icings as well. Take your skincare level to the next level and Shine Bright. I also want everyone to continue to journaling your journeys to getting your "P" back and reflect on situations where you have dimmed your light for others. Remember you are meant to Shine bright and never dim your light to make anyone else feel comfortable. Love you all and have an amazing week.
