10 Tips For Looking Your Best

                                       

Do you struggle with feeling like you aren't looking your best? Maybe you feel like you're a mess, or you just don't feel very good about yourself.  Well, you don't have to anymore! I'm going to be sharing some tips on how to look and feel your best in your outfits and body.

Let’s talk about modesty. Modesty to us Christians means honoring God with your body. Wearing clothes that are suggestive or are trying to draw attention to your body invites the wrong sort of attention. It can be something that causes someone to stumble. It can also lead to inappropriate treatment of you, and who wants guys talking in ways that make you feel uncomfortable?  It does not show respect for yourself either. If you respect yourself, cover up. It shows you don’t need the attention of your body to be confident or feel good. God gives you the confidence you need. 

1. Focus on the inside of you rather than the out. Being a good person is more important than being the most beautiful person in the room. If you are wondering how to improve your inner beauty, read the Bible. Try to be like Jesus. Being kind, good, and selfless are some things to work on if you want to be beautiful on the inside. 

2. Dress up or down. For some people dressing up can help them feel confident. They feel like they look good when they wear fancy outfits which helps them to bring out the outgoing part of them. It helps people feel like they aren’t a mess. Just make sure you are wearing a fancy outfit for you, not other people. 

For some people they get so caught up on looks that they feel that they have to look perfect all the time. How can you be comfy and cute? Well guess what? It's possible! Wearing slightly form fitting sweats and a tighter fitting solid black or white long sleeve shirt can be so cute. Or a cute light blue or pink sweatshirt and leggings with cute shoes. Or just wearing what you like. You don't have to be trendy. Feel free to dress in what you like, not just what is in style right now. 

3. Eat healthy. It helps your body so much. You get the vitamins and protein you need to function well. It can also help your skin, as greasy food can clog your pores which can cause acne. 

4. Wear Jewelry. Putting on some jewelry can really help you look good. I recommend gold or silver earrings, but if you feel like it, fun earrings are great too! I love to show off my style with some unique earrings. 

Necklaces are also a really good accessory. A cross necklace is great for showing off your faith. 

Rings are also a really cute accessory. I love rings. I recommend some simple silver ones or ones with a flower. 

5. Wear perfume. I know that that isn't technically how you look, but smelling good can help with making you feel like you are bringing your best self. Smelling good feels soooo good. I recommend perfume scents like vanilla, coconut and pineapple, or just do a floral one. Also smelling like a dessert is fun. 

6. Get good quality clothes. Wearing good quality clothes helps you look like you take care of yourself, and helps you to look good. Be willing to pay a little extra if necessary, but don’t just assume if something is expensive it’s good quality. Things don’t always have to cost a lot to be good quality. 

7. Work out. Don’t just do it for the guys though! Do it because it makes you feel and look good. Working out releases endorphins, which is what makes you feel good. 

Working out makes you look good which helps you feel confident in your body ( duh lol). Even if you don’t have a perfectly sculpted body, you can still feel confident. Remember it’s more important to be confident in God. 

Don't obsess over weight. Numbers on a scale don’t necessarily mean you are or aren’t healthy. Neither does clothing size. It doesn’t tell you how much of the weight is muscle. Doctors will agree, as long as you feel good, and are taking care of your body you’ll be fine. 

8. Shower often and use good smelling stuff. For the good smelling stuff, I recommend a clean and good smelling body wash, natural sugar scrubs, and a clean, good smelling lotion to moisturize your skin after you get out of the shower. 

9. Have a good skin care routine. Taking care of your skin is going to help you so much. It helps your skin be healthy. It also helps clear acne. Choose clean skincare products. That  Drinking water also does wonders for your skin. 

10. Wear natural  makeup. Again, not just for the guys! Natural makeup enhances your features, and doesn’t make you look like you are trying to cover up your whole face. You shouldn’t try to cover your whole face up because you are created by God. However, I understand that it can be embarrassing when those simply lovely things we call pimples pop up on our face. So, yes, cover up the blemishes. Just, make sure you don’t cover up your whole face in the process.
