July's Challenge #StepOutsideYourBeautyBox
Welcome to the first edition of *OTSP* Challenges!
A big reason why Mu-Hsien and I started this blog is to challenge ourselves to get off our butts and actually take STEPS toward living our best lives. Back in high school we'd always talk about what we'd do when our "real lives" started. It was always at some point in the future. When we'd graduate college, after getting a first job, after getting married... And then voila! The future is NOW and we are living our "real lives." But we still catch ourselves postponing doing something we want...until we're less busy...when we become millionaires? We decided to put a stop to this hard-to-break habit and challenge each other to act on our visions. The trick we discovered, is breaking down big goals into small projects and completing them one by one, rather then taking on the daunting task of tackling big concepts.
So today is 1st of July and I decided to get cracking on the big bodacious goal of being the impossibly glamorous and mysterious woman that I've always imagined I'd grow-up to become. You know the one that leaves an air of exoticism wafting in the air long after she leaves the room, the kind of woman that mystifies even her own husband. You get the picture. Well that's a pretty big undertaking, so I thought, why not break it down and start with some basics.? One look through my arsenal of seduction tools (the make-up bag) proved to be a disappointing mix of brands that I've stuck to since...ehem High School, 6 varying shades of plum eye shadow (except for one brave green hue) and a few different bottles of the same pinkish cheek highlighting liquids. There is zero mystery there...I can't believe it but really my make-up choices for the past 15 years have been literally on repeat play. Please DON'T tell ANYONE!
So this month I'm issuing a challenge to...
Step outside my beauty box!
And what more fun way to do a challenge? Why, it's to challenge you all to do it with us. Have you perhaps also been doing the same things beauty wise? Have you been thinking about changing some aspect of your beauty routine? For me, I've decided to approach this challenge with the goal of upping the exotic factor of my cosmetics collection as well as transitioning to all natural and organic make-up. Going organic is something I've started a few years ago with body care products but somehow I have not gotten around to doing the same with my make-up.
Hope you like this challenge and might decide to "Step Outside of Your Beauty Box" too! Feel free to read more about the idea of monthly challenges.
