Keep your head up

Hey, guys! Today was just one of those days, when I woke up, looked in the mirror and went - you have GOT to be kidding me... Apart from the usual (dark circles, I'm talking to you), my skin's been acting up lately, but I had on top of that busted my lip during the night (...?) and I just felt like crawling back under the sheets and going: "Nope. This day has been cancelled."

But, you know, I'm a grown up. At least, I try to be. I know I'm definitely trying to be a positive person, though. So I refused to let my day be affected by starting the day off with negative thoughts. So, I had a lovely breakfast and got ready, paying even more attention to how I treat myself than usual and went on attacking the day. It worked, in case you're wondering ;) I had a really nice day and managed to have a really good mindset.

These pictures are not retouched in any way, this is me, blurred, with my phone, snapping the reality of my bathroom mirror (note to self: find a better way to formulate this) and the only reason I'm posting this is because I sometimes really struggle to keep my head up. This has nothing to do with the superficial side of things. I'm not saying, that putting makeup on makes me happy. It's the  negative oh-what's-the-point-of things mindset I'm struggling with and overcoming that made me even bother with putting makeup on. I hope this made sense. I had made the conscious decision to have a good day and be positive long before the products were used, so its not what I was aiming at.

I also stay posivite by doing what I know best - making fun of myself. Hence, the photos. I think it's important to be able to poke fun at yourself and put yourself out there. It's just... life.

So I ate (almost)healthy. I met up with a friend. I laughed. I walked a lot. I shopped a bit (have a themed party to attend this Saturday - super excited and will definitely make a post on getting ready for it!) and I stayed present.

I also did something that I haven't in a long time. I did my nails. Excuse the claw like hand and the bad lighting, it's prettier in person and totally not my usual shade. Just picked it up today. Can you guess, what it is? :) Leave me a comment down below, if you want! That could be fun.

I can also do a post on how I do my nails, because I always do it myself.

Anyway, hope you're all having a wonderful week and I will talk to you soon!

As always, thank you all for reading, commenting, subscribing and being so lovely! I will answer any questions you have, as usual, so feel free to.

Renate ❤
