BEAUTY & BRAINS - A GIFTING EXPERIENCE

BEAUTY & BRAINS – A GIFTING EXPERIENCE

I received this lovely gift the other day – what an amazing Beauty & Brains gift – a total P&G beauty surprise that had me feeling confident about how I am going to look and smell in the New Year! I am still a little bit in disbelief that we are just about to enter 2018 – I feel like it was just yesterday that I graduated from highschool and was looking forward to Frosh Week at Ryerson – where did the time go?

BEAUTY & BRAINS

Some of you might be wondering why I am referring to this as the Beauty & Brains gift – well here you go! I feel like too often society feels like you can only be one of the two – either feel and look beautiful or just have brains – but in my mind – I think we all have ‘both’ to present to the world. We all have characteristics about us that are unique and beautiful and it is just a matter of picking the right products and finding the right hairstyle that highlights those gorgeous features.

NERDY DAYS – EXPLORATION & DISCOVERY

Thinking back to my highschool days – I went to a ‘uniform’ school and had to adhere to certain rules. While I loved the whole concept of us looking so streamlined, I also felt like it boxed me in a little in terms of being able to chose colourful pieces and explore new chic looks that would make look the way I felt. This is when I started to explore new beauty looks, I started testing out new products, new shampoos and conditioners, new hairspray, new eyeshadows, mascaras etc. – I really wanted to see what cool new hairstyles and beauty looks I could pull off – definitely had a lot of fun with it and started to feel just better overall about my appearance. I always studied hard in school…my grades were good, but I also wanted to show myself and others, that I was confident about who I was – on the whole – beauty and brains! I hope that you all walk around thinking that same way – remember you are both beautiful and intelligent <3
