You know what I am talking about. You see it all the time. The posts on ig or fb that represent just WHY your friend has decided to sell something and jump in to some type of direct sales partnership that becomes like spam on your newsfeed. Let's just be honest you're not even sure if you are annoyed or jealous of this new found calling. I've been both. Jealous... is she making money? Annoyed... hello make a separate business page so I have the option of how often I wanna see your new found love for fitness, skincare, beauty etc.
Well it's happened to me. I am one of "those" girls. But here's the thing I couldn't quite pin down why. Was it for the discount? I mean who doesn't want great products that really work at a lower cost than retail. And who doesn't want a piece of the action when that product becomes all the rage on social media or even google. But again WHY? For most people it's to pay off debt. Pay for ballet lessons or any extra curricular activities for the littles. Maybe help your hubby or SO with the financial responsibility of the house. Well I am just going to be honest. That wasn't it for me. Yes of course I would love to get to a place where I am contributing more to my household budget then just supporting my habit, that has become a little side business.
So WHY?
WHY? Because I was struggling. I am a SAHM and I felt like I was losing my identity. My Self worth was being measured by my place as a mom. At least that's how I felt. Add a daily messy bun and leggings (don't get me wrong I love a comfy day but not everyday) and I was losing sight myself as a woman. Not just a mom or wife. I was missing that piece of myself that took pride in appearance. And yes I know beauty isn't about what's on the outside. But let me tell you if you feel good about the way you look on the surface it radiates in to how you feel. And I know that for myself I'm much happier and self confident when I'm feeling beautiful and put together.
Today it really struck me, my why wasn't so much about a tangible object, but what I was trying to learn from past. It's about a state of mind. A clear vision of inner peace and well being. SeneGence has helped me regain a piece of myself. Its brought back my self confidence. It helps motivate me to put my best face forward both literally and figuratively. Swipe on a bold lippie and conquer the day, even if that day happens to only be playdates in my living room or a spontaneous trip to target.
It's not just about the makeup. It's about the relationships I am cultivating with other women. Women I now consider friends. It's about growth, both professionally and on a personal level. It's become about learning to embrace and learn from every stage of life.
