How to practice self love

What is practice self love?

It's focusing on being your own best friend, being your own motivator,
being your own best care taker, being your own rock, being your own support system.



 Why is it required?
Because if you keep searching outside your-self to be loved or feel loved,
you will ALWAYS be searching.
There are days, weeks, months or even years, you may not have someone in your life who "loves" you,
but you can  and should count on loving your-self.

Self-love doesn't happen by luck or the grace of God.
You have to create it.
Self love and self validation allows you to be happy from within and
not waiting or constantly searching for someone to love you.
That shit is exhausting.

I know it's much easier said than done. I've struggled with it all my life.

HOW TO practice self love


Love yourself how you'd WANT others to love you.
It's the easiest and the hardest thing to do but you have to start with loving yourself first,
in order to know how it is to be rightfully loved by another person.


Re-evaluate negative and stressful relationships
Some people act in 'toxic' ways and are not healthy to be around. Limit your time with them as much as possible. Explore your role in these relationships. Are you contributing to the negativity? Is your overall relationship with yourself toxic or positive? What can you do to make it more loving and enjoyable?  - Holistic MindBody Healing blog


Be aware of the different messages that you hear in your head and remember to turn up the volume on the messages that CONTRIBUTE to your positive self-esteem and to turn down the volume on any message that encourages you to think negatively about your worth or ability. - The Positive Way

How to Choose the Right Earrings for your Face Shape

Image
I love to make jewelry; earrings included. But I have to admit not every style is right for every Woman. Depending on your face shape some earrings types are better than others. The types of earrings you wear should depend on your FACE shape. The four basic shapes are highlighted below. SQUARE SHAPE What is a square-shaped face? - sides of your face will be straight - face will be nearly as wide as it is long - your jawline will be defined, with only a minimum curve                                                                        - strong jawline                                                                      Best EARRINGS for square-shaped face - earrings with rounded designs - elongated earrings, especially under the chin line - dangling earrings - hoop earrings These styles are considered excellent because they add a softness to the facial angles *avoid very wide, bulky, square earrings Famous square-shaped  face celebrities

Getting started...

Image
I've been making or stringing beads together for years. I am not exactly sure how I started making jewelry. Oh yeah! I got started because I've always collected beads. I liked going to bead shops and bought beads that appealed to me then would place in empty pickle jars and store them on my shelfs at home. After a while I had so many beads that I needed to do something with them, which was the obvious - make jewelry. I bought some how-to books and that is how I got started. A few years back, friend of mine, who worked at Fox, encouraged me to let her sell my stuff at their Xmas bazaar. I was pleasantly surprised - I sold quite a few items. My friend was so cool. Here is a photo of the display table that she put together. Since then, I have never actually tried to sell my jewelry. But now I want to start. I created a catalog and the name of my jewelry line is MY PEACE of JEWELRY - pretty catchy. I don't have a website. It's too expensive and there are so many websites n
