Are you Just Like your Mother?
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,…

Confident in the Challenge of Letting Go
This Easter I was asked to share my thoughts on the final words that Christ spoke to Mary while dying on the cross. This challenged me because I didn’t understand why Jesus called His mother “dear woman.” I know He was fully God, but wouldn’t His fully-human-side long for His “mom” in a time of…

Confidently Flawed
This week marked the anniversary of my daughter’s death. As a tribute to her, I like to share a bit of her story this time of year. It may seem off topic to blog about child loss when my niche is Confident Beauty, but my Trisomy 18 baby is the one who woke me up…

Are You Confident in the Face of Correction?
“No, no, honey, that’s dangerous.” You would think my mom had just slapped the kid across the face and yelled at him by the way he burst into heart-wrenching tears. I picked my nephew up, hoping my embrace would reassure him that his grandmother loved him and only wanted to keep him safe. “You used to…

Coming Out of the Closet
Women with confident beauty are content with who they are. This does not mean that they have no need to improve, nor does it mean that there is nothing that they are ashamed of. In fact, they usually have a very good perspective of both their strengths and their weaknesses. Confidence is the ability to…

What’s Your Brand?
Branding is a powerful marketing tool in the business world. One glance at the Starbucks logo and you can almost smell the aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Why? Because the twin-tailed mermaid has represented the world-famous coffeehouse since 1971, and though the image has been refined as the business has grown, customers can expect quality…

Are Cliques Bad?
Cliques. Nobody likes them unless they are them. Girlfriends who are having a good time together can (purposely or unmindfully) snub those around them, and if you are the one left out of the fun it can make you feel like an outsider. While these kinds of situations can rock the confidence of some women…

Women are Like Flowers
Flowers were designed for beauty; so were women, but neither will share their fragrant appeal with the world if they are not cared for properly. A florist would be a fool if he treated all his flowers alike. I love to teach women “what not to wear” but I am far more passionate about helping…

Free to Feel
I am so proud of my daughter. Since Christmas she has been learning to play the guitar. She’s a Dramatic and has always taken good care of her nails, but has had to sacrifice their length for her new passion to play the strings. After having long nails for so long, the tips of her…

The Secret to Confidence
Most Confidence Conflicts are rooted in the human need for validation. Which woman amongst us doesn’t want to be seen, heard and loved? Don’t we all want to be valuable to someone? How often do you need to hear you are accepted and appreciated? A typical male response to these common female needs (Not that…

Confidence Conflicts
Confidence Conflicts come in shapes and sizes. Sometimes it’s the snide remark of a friend or a glare of an enemy. Other times it’s the lack of response from your man or the doubting of your mom. Or… How about this one: the disappointing service of your waitress. (It’s happened to me a couple of…

Romantic Power
Romantics are full-figured women, or at least they have a curvy structure, very often a figure 8. I would say that about 75% of the Romantics I know developed their beautiful curves at a very young age. Some hit puberty when they are still children, although they are not the only Img.IDs that may develop…
