    As a hairdresser, I have had many women sit in my chair and request a completely new style. I look at them, with their hair soaking wet and at its worst and see in my mind all sorts of options. But that’s my gift. They look in the mirror and see a mess and all…

    Social Skills 101: Never tell a woman she is old, overweight or just like her mother. While not every woman is sensitive about all of these areas, we do all have an emotional attachment to each of them. Personally, I would love to be just like my mother–she’s beautiful inside and out. Not all moms,…

    What a great time of year for a wedding on Cape Cod! I’m excited to be part of a multinational one this weekend. Working with a German bride has been so much fun! I don’t know if it’s her culture, her strong Christian faith or her beautiful temperament, but preparing a bride for her most…

    This is a great time of year for a new hairstyle, but asking your hairstylist for suggestions might not be wise. Not unless they’re experts from https://yvonnehodgsonhair.co.uk, then you can definitely rely on them. After many years behind the chair, creating styles to suits my clients’ desires, it became obvious to me that many women…

    I love cleaning. Maybe it’s because I am so easily distracted, but I am far more engaged in a clutter-free environment that sparkles and shines. For me, cleanliness creates confidence. I didn’t recognize my love for cleaning until I had my own home; before that I felt like it was a tedious requirement that I…

    Don’t you just love social media? Really, when you have a need for validation, all you have to do is post a selfie and wait for all the comments to come in. Or not. Silence on the internet can be brutal to a girl’s confidence. So can some of the comments. Why, then, do girls…

    For me, speaking is about empowering women to BE who they were designed to be. There’s no greater joy than helping others recognize the twisted-Truths they believe so they can overcome Image Issues or any other Confidence Conflict that holds them  back. My most popular keynotes  address the areas of beauty, rejection and loss, these are some of the challenges I…

    It may seem like a “Christianeze” to say you were created to be “like God” because this is not an easy concept to grasp, depending on what you have experienced in life. Most of us have an especially hard time trying to grasp the idea that a woman’s desire to be beautiful is actually part…

    How did you do with the Img.ID quiz? I realize the personal preferences are sometimes hard to define– especially if you struggle to believe that your opinions have value. Many women are so focused on what is important to the ones they love that they do not give much thought to what they would prefer.…

    How did you do with yesterday’s assessment of your physical attributes? Is there one Img.ID that is showing itself most predominate yet? If not, do not be discouraged; your facial features are a bit more definitive, by the end of this blog you should have a good idea of which style of feminine beauty you…

    Florists know how much to water each type of plant; that’s why their flowers exude their greatest beauty. Image consultants know which outfit suits their clients best; that’s why movie stars and supermodels always look good. So, how should you care for yourself? Which style of beauty are you– delicate, glamorous, exotic…? No one fits in…

    It’s not easy being different. Unusual beauty creates Confidence Conflicts for the gorgeous as much as it does for the less-lovely. Sometimes the reason people stare is not because of your imperfections, but because they think you are perfect—or close to it, beautiful women get gawked at too, and not just by lustful men. They…
