Time for a little pampering!

Today, I'm feeling especially grateful. I get a take a break from the daily grind.

For now this means I'm off to see one of my sponsors, Jan Maybee, who keeps my skin looking amazing. This is a special treat, because in the industry I work in, presentation is everything! When it comes to skincare, this is especially important. I may have a crazy, hectic schedule, and there's no hiding that, but the last place I want that to be noticed is in my appearance. Whatever your budget or time limits are, I couldn't emphasize enough how vital it is to squeeze a little "you" time!

Once I'm finished up with the incredible Jan, its off to do a bit of shopping for some work-out gear.  Not only am I always excited to have some new gym clothes (hey, we take motivation where we can find it, right?), this shopping trip is extra special.  One of my sponsors, Islands tanning, will brand this new gear.

Part of my job for my sponsors is to make sure I promote their business.  This is really important to show how deeply grateful I am for their support! Another aspect of the work that I do, besides the large scale charity work side, is to represent myself in a way that is positive and intentional. I'm passionate about fitness, treating my body as if it is my temple, and finding a balance between the "daily grind" and taking small bits of time that are just for me, like my morning run.

No matter who you are, or what makes you feel pampered, put together, and ready to dive back into the crazy world out there, I whole heartedly encourage you to do it.  

Hopefully, by the end of the day, I'll get to enjoy some sunshine with my family! This is probably the most important part of my beauty regime, right there ;) 

OK...so maybe tonight I have to work on a few emails....but hey, what can I say, this is life!
