Women are complimentary creatures. We notice things about other people. Most women are quick to compliment another woman's outfit, or her haircut, or lip color. It is funny how we see these details that are virtually invisible to most men. Sure they notice if a woman looks nice, or if she has on a flattering outfit, but they rarely notice the small stuff. While women are quick to compliment someone else, they are also are the first ones to criticize themselves. To let their day be ruined by a bad hair day, or to feel like the night is doomed because nothing in their closet looks decent on them. They will look in the mirror and obsess over the size of their pores, or that one wrinkle between their brows. They will avoid shorts because of the vein behind a knee, and wear long sleeves in 90 degree weather because they are self conscious about their arms. They will give others credit for being fashionable, and glamorous, when they give themselves no credit at all. "Oh, I can't do that", "I could never wear that", "I don't know how to wear makeup".

Be bold, in your actions, in your words, in your sense of self. Allow yourself to love the woman you are, the whole package. Love others as you love yourself, and see what happens.
Every woman has things in her life she is willing to pay for, and things she feels like she can and should do herself. My list is generally a little different than most women I think. My sister would tell you it is because I think I can do things better than other people, hee , hee ... she thinks I am a bit on the controlling side. I cut my own hair, do my own hair color, do my own facials, make jewelry, that sort of thing. I will admit, it is a rare occasion that I pay hundreds of dollars for a color and cut, and walk out feeling amazing. I am almost always disappointed in the result. I get a manicure & pedicure, and always regret the color choice- or see smudges. It just makes me mad to pay a lot of money for mediocre results. (I can get mediocre results myself!) One thing I definitely am willing to pay for, that I easily admit I am the worst at, is CLEANING MY HOUSE!! I really hate it. I love the calm and peace that comes with the clean, well organized home.
