Five on Friday

Today is the first time in a long time that I'm linking up with Liz for Five on Friday. It feels so good to be back. It feels so right.

...here we go...

Favorite Song

I am so obsessed with this song. I think it's a great song for women and even men. It's all about loving yourself. Yes, I am in a relationship but I think loving myself is extremely important.

Favorite Quote

I Instagramed this quote earlier this week because I needed a reminder that I need to just be me. I need to love myself before someone else can love me and I need to accept my own beauty. Lately I've been struggling with loving myself and just accepting myself, so this quote is a good reminder. 

Favorite Haircut

Along with needing to accept myself, I need a change. I think the best resolution for me needing change is cutting my hair. It took me about a year to grow my hair but now it's time to chop it off. I'm thinking to do this cut, what do you think?

Favorite Dinner

One day this week I just wanted a salad so I went home from work and threw together what ever I had in the fridge. The salad consisted of spinach, goat cheese, sunflower seeds, dried cranberries and an apple. The dressing was a mixture of balsamic vinaigrette and poppy seed. Delicious.

Favorite Cosmetic 

Now this isn't a picture of my eye, but I got eyelash extensions last week and I'm finally starting to like them. No I don't just like them, I love them. I think they look amazing. It takes me two seconds to get ready for the day now that I have these lashes. At first I hated them but now I really like them. 

Have you ever heard the song I like?

What do you think of that haircut?

Have you ever tried eyelash extensions? 

What's your favorite throw together salad?

Confidence

Where do I begin? I don't even know where I left off to know where to begin. I will say that I am going to attempt to start blogging again. Now this is huge for me because I haven't been very good at sticking to things. However, I'm trying to turn a new leaf in my lift. I think it's very important for me to explore different avenues and this avenue will be filled with the most random things. Food, pictures, stories, memories...everything and anything that pops into my mind.

.......

And for the first time ever, go ahead judge me for what I post. I don't care.

This is where confidence comes in. You see I lost a lot of my confidence a few months back. Why? I'm not really sure. I think it had a lot to do with reading other amazing blogs and comparing myself. And then seeing pictures of amazingly perfect people on Instagram and Pinterest and comparing myself. I need to put my foot down and just accept me and be confident in myself. Who's with me!?
