Beauty and The Bombshell

Happy New Year

 

I love to write.  Sometimes I wish that I could sing . . . but the truth is my passion is writing.  It is my tool of expression.  When I’m happy . . .  I want to write about it.  When I am upset,  I have to write it out.  When I learn something new, the very first thing on my mind is writing it down.  Then, after I have written about it, the most immediate thing on my mind is sharing what I learned with others.

Writing heals me. . . it makes me grow and when I am not writing I am not expressing  who I am in a manner in which brings me satisfaction.  I am not being myself.

If an apple a day keeps the doctor away then my apple is writing.  “Having my cake” . . .  is writing – “eating it too” . . . is sharing it with others.

I have asked the universe for lots of things and although they may not have come wrapped in the neat little beautiful packages that I’d hoped for  . . . they arrive and I have received them all . . . including THIS opportunity to write and share. . . and this particular package came in an even bigger and more beautiful package than I could have imagined it could have arrived.

When you are given a talent, you must learn about it, practice it and exercise it so that it grows and spreads and helps others.  That is what I have committed to do this year.  I will eat my apple a day and I will have my cake and eat it too!

The Bombshelter

The Bombshell’s Bedroom is the Bombshell's private Bombshelter.  It is our Central Command Center.  Make it  a very sexy, sensual, sense-soothing space that motivates and inspires your inner Bombshell.  A place where you can relax and recharge.  Here are some suggestions to own your zone:

 

Make Your Room Bloom

Bring in a small floral arrangement and  a green low-light plant. This will create a cozy atmosphere and provide you room with more ‘living energy’.

 

Add Instant Smiles

Fill your Bombshelter with things that bring an instant smile on your face like photos, your music, your favorite movies and special momentos.  No bills or stacks or dirty laundry allowed!

 

Wear Your Bedsheets

Think of your bedsheets more like an outfit that you wear every night!  With that thought in mind . . . change your sheets frequently and ‘wear’ top notch linens next to your skin!

 

Prepare For A Long Stay

The Bombshelter must be properly equipped so you can rendezvous for hours.  Bring in a stach of bottled water and a bowl of your favorite fruit.  No refridgerator required!

 

Try Some Room Perfume

Light some scented candles and engage yourself in some aromatherapy.  Try peppermint and grapefruit to promote concentration and mental clarity or lavender and jasmine to sooth away stress.

Solitary Refinement

Nature grows in silence.  It blossoms, develops, produces and becomes without any spotlights, announcements, advertisements or headlines.

 

We are nature.  We require silence in order to become exactly what it is we desire to be.  Our silence, time with ourselves by ourselves, is our very necessary Solitary Refinement.

 

We are like a bottle of oil and water.  Everyday we are shaken up and the oil can not be distinguished from the water.  However, when the bottle is set down for a while, the two ingredients arrange themselves into two distinct layers.

 

We settle during Solitary Refinement.  We arrange ourselves into four distinct layers.  The physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.  We remove ourselves from dwelling in the past or preparing for the future.  We allow ourselves to simply be.  The quieter we become the more we can hear our deepest intuitions whispering detailed instructions on how we can blossoms and develop each layer.

 

When we consistently continue to grant ourselves a few minutes of Solitary Refinement each day, we gain the ability to define ourselves in relation to nothing at all as well as everything in particular.  We strengthen our ability to remain calm admist any storm while still maintaining our perspective, balance, and focus.

Turn off the television.  Turn off the radio.  Turn off the phone.  Turn off the lights.

 

Turn off.  Tune in.  Tap into.

Ways To Inspire Your Inner Bombshell

 

Dress To Express

Put on something that is totally Bombshell.  Express who you are without a care about what other will think.  Don’t limit yourself because you are going to be concerned about how others will react.  Wear what you really want instead of using others as a guide about what is right for you.

You Meditate . . . Yes YOU!

Everybody Meditates.  You Meditate.  Yes YOU!  You may be unaware of it but trust me . . . you do!  The feat is to become aware of this fact so that you can learn to make certain that you use your power to do you good and not evil.

Meditation is focusing 100% of all your attention to one single point.  A mantra meditation is an ancient form of meditation.  It is simply focusing your attention by repeating a sentence or group of words.

Do you repeat a sentence or group of words on a daily basis or even several times a day ?  What words are you focusing your attention on?  Are you meditating on a positive message that is beneficial to you, your life and your goals or are you sabotaging yourself?

One-Minute Weight Loss

Start Off Strong

Eat like a King for breakfast, a Queen for lunch, and a Pauper for dinner.  Eat healthy amounts of good-for-you foods earlier in the day then use your day wisely doing things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator to burn off those calories!

 

Take A Time-Out

Take a few minutes out to plan your menu for the day.  Thinking ahead is your best defense against things like hunger and a busy schedule!

 

Buy Small

The bigger the package the more likely you are to eat . . . up to 44%!  Sure the smaller package may cost more but can you really put a value on good health!

 

Indulge

If you are craving a chocolate bar, don’t try to resist it with foods you don’t want.  Chances are you will end up eating both!  Go ahead and have a portion controlled treat then get right back on track!

 

Reflect On Your Choices

Get your compact mirror out of your purse and look yourself right in the eye before eating something that isn’t part of your ‘menu’.  It’s a sure way to put you back in touch with yourself and your goals!

 

Eliminate Toppings

When a dish includes toppings like cheese, bacon, and other high-fat items . . . tell the server to leave them off!

 

Go Low

When you go grocery shopping, choose the most nutritious but the least fattening.  Some good choices include, low-fat butter,  skim milk and fat free ice cream!  Delicious!

 

Brush Your Teeth

Brush your teeth physically and mentally after dinner.  Use this task as a mental message to yourself that means you are done eating for the night!

Bombshell Behavior

Few are immune to the Bombshell’s charm, but that isn’t how we place others in our thrall. 

 

Exactly what is it?  Bombshell Behavior.  Proceed With Caution!

 

 

 

Make Perfect Scents – Warning!  A Bombshell uses her perfume as an intoxicating narcotic to express herself.  Mysterious, exotic, sexy, curious?  There is no limit to the possibilities once someone has inhaled!

 

Sparkle While Your Shine – Mix a pinch of loose shimmer powder into your moisturizer for a subtle, sexy sparkle all over.  A Bombshell’s shining energy can always live up to the sparkle . . . even surpass it

 

Tie Yourself Up -  Clothing with tying strings possess very seductive powers.  After all . . what is tied can be untied!  Bombs away!

 

Tell It Like It Is  -  Attracting others is not about telling lies or pretending  to be anyone other than yourself.  A Bombshell attracts others by having the confidence to tell the truth and the courage to be herself!  Bombshell all the way!

 

Love Your Curves  -  Wear a who-does-she-think-she-is dress with a detailed answer in mind!  A Bombshell can make her body convey anything she wishes.  She is very comfortable with her body and it shows!

 

Put Your Lipstick On  -  It creates a mystery.  Where is she going next?  What is she preparing for?  A Bombshell knows that something fabulous can happen anytime anywhere and she is always prepared for the moment that could change her life!

 

Pump Up The Volume  -  There is no limit to how high a Bombshell's heels can go.  A Bombshell is always at her gravity-defeying best!  Always elevated and high on life!
