Ever feel like your beauty is in question? Maybe it’s time to polish it up with a makeover.

It’s easier than you think. Really. Dressing Your Truth makes it simple. Check out Naome’s Before & After, for example.

From Style-challenged to Stunning

In my Energy Profiling system, Naome expresses a dominant TYPE 4^SM Energy, which means she is naturally more serious, structured, precise and clear. She exhibits a bold kind of stillness and you can see her TYPE 4 features in the parallel lines in her mouth, straight nose bridge and her structured jawline.

Before, Naome’s stunning beauty was clouded by an undefined hairstyle, muted clothing and the lack of a bold statement in her clothing, makeup and accessories.

After, Naome owns her stunning qualities with a precise kind of elegance. Her sculpted hairstyle gives her a very sophisticated polish. And her bold blue cardigan, red lipstick and necklace are the perfect trio for a bold, glamorous look.

What stands out to you in Naome’s Dressing Your Truth makeover? Share your positive refections below. 

Become your own beauty authority

In Dressing Your Truth program, I teach that every woman has “beauty sixth sense” to know what is best for her. The only problem is that the fashion industry has for decades taught women to follow the latest trends and styles, which don’t honor every woman’s Type of beauty.

With Dressing Your Truth, you get to become your own Beauty Expert once you learn your unique Type of beauty and how to select the clothes, accessories, makeup and hairstyles that bring out your true beauty.

Dressing Your Truth is the simple answer to your beauty questions.

• Encourage him. Let him know you appreciate his upward, light energy and his playful qualities.

TYPE 1 dads on Modern Family

I enjoy watching the TV show Modern Family, and we did a video blog post on the Energy Types of the main characters. For an example of TYPE 1 dads, check out the show, as both Phil (played by Ty Burrell) and Cam (played by Eric Stonestreet) are TYPE 1 fathers.

Finding healthy snacks when you’re on-the-go can be hard. Especially when most of the quick snacks and fast foods out there are not really even real foods.

But when I’m pressed for time,  these are my favorite 10 snacks that I make sure I always have on hand ahead of time so I can re-fuel my body with healthy snacks that are delicious AND good for me.

Eating real food when you need it real quick

Go for nutritious and delicious

The trouble with most of the quick snack foods on the market is that they are really just processed junk. That’s why they call them “junk foods.” They’re usually low in nutrition and high in sugar and other unhealthy preservatives.

So when you need something to eat on-the-go, try these healthier options to fuel your body with energy and nutrition, rather than leave you feeling drained. I always feel satisfied and happier whenever I give my body one of these delicious and healthy snacks.

1. 1 Apple, a handful of almonds and a cheese stick
2. Food Should Taste Good Tortilla Chips with salsa
3. A Pure raw fruit and nut bar—they come in several flavors
   
4. Homemade granola with almond milk and sliced banana
5. Greek yogurt with freshly sliced fruit
6. Celery with almond butter, craisins and sunflower seeds
7. Green smoothie—almond milk, spinach, frozen fruit, clean protein powder (Get my recipe here)
8. Soft corn tortilla, with scrambled egg, shredded cheese, salsa
9. Egg salad in half of an avocado
10. 70% cocoa chocolate bar, handful of almonds and a sliced orange

You are what you eat

You’ll never regret taking better care of your health! Because what you put into your physical body will manifest itself externally, too.

If the food you put in your body is low quality with no nutrients, that is the kind of body you are creating.

Instead, choose high quality foods that are nutritious, delicious and bring pleasure and good energy to your body. Your body will thank you!

What are your favorite go-to healthy snacks? Share your comments and tips for eating healthy when you’re on the run. 

Support your health even more—check out these posts on Health. You can even select to filter by emotional health, physical health, or mental/spiritual health, too!

Do you ever have times where it feels like everyone expects something from you…and yet no one is meeting your needs?

You probably don’t want to come across as needy, but a part of you feels like a little child who just wants someone to care for them.

Here’s one way to step into more support and feel like a balanced adult.

Recognizing the little child in your adult self

Somewhere in your childhood, your needs and feelings weren’t validated. So that inner child within each of us adults continues to try to find ways of getting those needs met.

I want to help you move forward in feeling more supported and secure.

In this mini-healing session video, Leslie still felt like a little girl in her relationships, feeling like her needs were overlooked. She leads with TYPE 2^SM Energy in my Energy Profiling system, and true to her subtle nature, she has had trouble speaking up for herself and voicing her own needs.

Watch the video and see how powerfully healing it can be to recognize your un-met needs—and then show up in a different way to care for them now as a grown up.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOvzgLp56Gs

What un-met needs from childhood came up for you? How can you now care for your own inner needs? Share your comments with me below. 

Showing up as a grown up

Whenever you feel like a child again as an adult, it always points back to an experience in your childhood that is in need of healing.

To get in touch with that part of you, follow along with the visualization I did with Leslie. You have your own story of not getting your needs met.

Once you give those feelings a voice, you can show up for yourself as an adult to care for that inner child part of you who is still looking for love and validation.

God bless you as you step into more healing and wholeness.

When it comes to your personal beauty, what are you sure of? (Besides maybe wanting a makeover.) Too many women doubt their own beauty, often comparing their looks to the unrealistic and unnatural standards of the fashion industry.

But Dressing Your Truth supports your ability to express your best look everyday with confidence! See how Anne reclaimed the strength of her true beauty after knowing her TYPE 3^SM nature.

Strengthening her beauty

Anne expresses TYPE 3^SM Energy in my Beauty Profiling system. You can see her rich, dynamic TYPE 3 features in her textured skin, deep-set eyes that come to a point, the angles in her facial lines and a more substantial nose.

Before her Dressing Your Truth makeover, Anne’s features were not well honored with a hairstyle that flowed inward and a rather muted holiday shirt.

After, Anne’s hairstyle has more edge, sass and texture—true to her TYPE 3 qualities. Her clothing is a fabulous TYPE 3 orange cardigan paired with a lighter salmon colored top. And her active/reactive energy can hold such a substantial necklace a strong feminine kind of way.

She looks determined, confident and sure of her own strength as one hot woman!

What stands out to you with Anne’s dynamic Dressing Your Truth makeover? Share your positive comments below. 

What first impression are you making?

We often forget just how much we communicate to people about the kind of person we are just by what we wear. But what we put on our bodies says A LOT!

Try this for example. Look at the photos of Anne again.

If you were to meet the woman in the Before photo for the first time, what might your first impression be? Take note of your internal reactions.

Then focus on the woman in the second photo. If you were to meet her first, what would your first impression be of her?

Compare the difference in your assessment of the two people. Who looks more sure and confident to you?

But don’t just use this photo as the only example. Check out dozens more Before & Afters—from there you can filter by Before & Afters and even by Type.

Dress to impress yourself first

Get your Dressing Your Truth course and start making your best first impression—starting with the one you see in the mirror yourself every day. Do your own makeover with Dressing Your Truth and find out how you looking your best is an amazing boost to your self-esteem and confidence.

You’ll notice the blanket of calm and stillness on the set of today’s video. As we continue our Energy Profiling series looking at all of the unique combinations, today we focus on TYPE 2/4 and 4/2 Energy.

Find out what introversion really means and how you can let go of false expectations so you can accept your true nature for who you really are—and the gifts you have to offer!

Inner calm, inner stillness

When a person leads with a TYPE 2/4 or TYPE 4/2^SM Energy, they express more Yin energy, which is an inward directed movement. Those inward qualities show up in their thoughts, feelings, relationships, and more.

Meet Mallory (2/4) and Cindy (4/2). In the video, you’ll find out:

• What inaccurate phobia label Cindy was given—that all went away once she understood what was reasonable for being a 4/2.
• How Mallory works with her secondary TYPE 4^SM Energy to to help customers and how she’s learned to let go of perfecting every detail she notices.

How has knowing your Energy Type helped you manage your expectations? Share what has supported you in the comments below. 

Processing emotions in privacy

To varying degrees, people who express TYPE 4/2 or  2/4 ENERGY will be aware and sensitive to their emotions and feelings—but their inward nature is drawn to process and express those emotions in a place of privacy and respect.

That’s also why people of either of these energy expressions may feel uncomfortable at first in new social situations—so their anxiety about dealing with emotions public is a very reasonable response, not a social phobia!

The difference between the gifts of TYPE 2 Energy and TYPE 4 Energy

Some people mistake the innate gifts of TYPE 2 and TYPE 4 people since their eye for details and thoroughness, respectively, can appear similar at time—especially if you express a combination TYPE 2/4 or a 4/2 Energy. To clear up any confusion, watch this video to understand a TYPE 2 person’s gift for details and a TYPE 4 person’s gift for thoroughness.

Curious about the other Energy Types? Catch up with the TYPE 3/2 and 2/3 combos and also TYPE  1/4 and 4/1 Energy combos.

Be at peace with your true self

Find out your Energy Type right now for free! Once you know your Energy Profile combination, you’re able to embrace your natural gifts—which means you get the amazing benefit of being more at peace with yourself.

OK, I confess. I used to wash my hair every day. Like many women, I thought daily shampooing my hair meant having healthier hair.

Turns out I was actually causing damage to my hair.

Hear from our Dressing Your Truth hair stylist, Nicole, on how you can have healthier hair—that still looks great—without the daily shampoo.

Have healthier hair without the excess oil

One of the common reasons women object to going longer between washes is because of oil build up in their hair.

But did you know that the more you shampoo your hair, the more you train your scalp to produce more oil?

So at some point, you can choose to break the cycle and give your hair some time to rest between washes.

Watch the video and find out the reasons why more and more women are leaving the Wash-Your-Hair-Everyday Club. Plus, find out how to care for your hair on days that you don’t wash it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INqxEQv4pRo

What have you been doing for your hair? How have you adjusted your own hair care?  Share your tips and comments below. 

Experiment for 2 weeks

If you’ve been washing your hair everyday, just commit to shampooing every other day for two weeks.

You’ll have healthier hair by not stripping the oils and applying heat to it everyday. But you can still re-style your hair everyday and touch up the product to go for the look you want.

If your hair is oily at first on the second or third day, you can check out the KMS dry shampoo Nicole mentioned to soak up oil and freshen up your style.

And if you are blessed with curly hair, you can go much longer between washes, since curly hair is naturally more dry.

If you need someone to tell it to you straight, you can almost always count on a person with Type 4 energy to tell it like it is. And these quotes are sure to meet your expectations.

In this collection of reflections, famous Type 4 people such as Audrey Hepburn, Daniel Day-Lewis, Adele and Enya, share their honest thoughts on privacy, solitude, being blunt, wearing black and more.

Boldly tell it like it is with these famous Type 4 celebrities

In my Energy Profiling system, Type 4 people are more serious, exact, structured and bold. They are more intellectually oriented, straightforward and have a keen eye for perfecting and seeing the big picture. You may also notice how these celebrities also embody the classic Type 4 values of stillness, privacy, cleanliness, balance and respect.

Audrey Hepburn…on solitude:

I’m an introvert…I love being by myself, love being outdoors, love taking a long walk with my dogs and looking at the trees, flowers, the sky.”

Charlize Theron…on messes:

I have a problem with cabinets being messy and people just shoving things in and closing the door. I will lie in bed and not be able to sleep because I’ll say to myself: ‘I think I saw something in that cabinet that just shouldn’t be there.’”

Courteney Cox…on being neat:

I’m not going to deny it. I’m a neat person, there’s no question. But I don’t become obsessed with it.”

Johnny Depp…on being true to himself:

I am doing things that are true to me. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.”

Enya…on privacy:

I am not reclusive. I just have a private life.”

Keira Knightley…on acting in ‘Pirates’:

I didn’t know this about myself, but when ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ came out I realised that I didn’t enjoy a huge amount of recognition. I didn’t react to it well, but I think life is about finding out who you are and what you like. So I started doing independent movies and art-house films instead.”

Jackie Kennedy…on being concise:

I want minimum information given with maximum politeness.”

Natalie Portman…on cute:

When a guy tells me I’m cute, it’s not something desirable.”

Celine Dion…on golf:

Golf is a search for perfection, for balance. It’s about meditation and concentration. You have to use hand and brain.”

Natalie Portman…on parties:

Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.”

Audrey Hepburn…on having alone time:

I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.”

Stephen Colbert…on being blunt:

I can’t prove it, but I can say it.”

Gwyneth Paltrow…on being blunt:

I say what I think, and I stand behind what I say.”

Elijah Wood…on perfecting oneself:

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.”

Tom Cruise…on improving:

I have respect for what other people believe. What I believe in my own life is that it’s a search for how I can do things better, whether it’s being a better man or a better father or finding ways for myself to improve.”

Gwyneth Paltrow…on self-acceptance:

I’m hard on myself, so I’m working on shifting perspective toward self-acceptance, with all my flaws and weaknesses.”

Courteney Cox…on knowing where you stand:

You never have to guess where you stand with me.”

Enya…on her music:

When making music I sink myself into the process as deeply as I can and forget all of the success.”

Daniel Day-Lewis…on voice:

A voice is such a deep, personal reflection of character.”

Keanu Reeves…on paying attention:

The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.”

Adele…on wearing black:

I’m like Johnny Cash. I only wear black.”

Gwyneth Paltrow…on beauty:

Beauty, to me, is about being comfortable in your own skin. That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.”
