It is so true about how you feel on the outside is as important as how you feel on the inside. If I don’t have even a little bit of make up on I feel tired, ugly, and nude. LOL I’m just so used to having it on. I sell Avon and love using their products. Washing your face at night is very important. If you don’t wash off all the oils, pollutants, and makeup from your face, then use a cream to help rejuvinate your skin, you actually add years to your skin. (I learned that from beauty courses). So day and night are both important to keeping a good skin care regimine. It also helps your makeup go on and stay on better. Enough said…lol Thanks for reminding us we do need a little boost of confidence even when working out

Hey Holly,

I really LOVE working out in really cute workout clothes in front of a mirror. Watching my muscles form as I workout totally motivates me to push even harder in my workouts. It also helps me to have better form. I love Otomix brand and I think they are at Dicks Sporting Goods. Great post!

Holly, this email is totally unrelated to makeup and or skin care but I am desperate! I am a 49 year old mother of 3, they are all grown up, 18 and older. I was always a skinny girl until a few years ago when I started peri-menopause. Over the last three years I have put on 25 pounds and no matter what I do, I cannot seem to take it off. I worked out at home first, then joined a gym and even worked with a trainer for a couple of months. I know that I got stronger but I lost no weight and my body did not change enough to see a difference in my clothes or how they fit. I eat mostly organic fruits and vegetables, chicken, fish and grass fed beef. I try to stay under 1600 calories a day and I workout 3-5 times a week. I put together a plan, wrote it out, try to read it daily along with my positive affirmations. I do strength training, resistance training and intervals. The scale won’t budge! I am so frustrated. I do have Hypothyroidism but take synthroid on a daily basis for that. I have been to my doctor several times over the past couple of years thinking my thyroid levels were not right but she says it is because I am going through menopause that I am having such a difficult time. Do you work with women who have had this experience and can you help? I want to feel good about me again. Your reply would be greatly appreciated.

Wow! Thanks Holly for posting my recent email…it’s so refreshing to hear from other women that I am NOT focusing on the ‘wrong things’ in terms of my appearance…as I said, I’ve been told by friends and family that they don’t understand the effort I make to always try and look my best, whether shopping, working or working out!

Without wanting to sound like too much of a ‘fanatic’ about your products, my colouring is similar to yours and I absolutely love the colours you wear on your eyes. I too love Lancome products and would ever grateful if you could let me know exactly what the colours are that you are using for your shadows and liners, gorgeous healthy looking blush and, if you still have the time, your lip colour:-)

Gotta love the Hypnose mascara by Lancome! My favorite to date!!

Thanks again for your reply…you’re such an inspiration!

Thank you for this post!! I always have trouble with looking pretty and getting my workouts in! I like the idea of showing and putting on my face and then workout! I think I will try it out and see how it works for me!!

I am a true believe in taking care of my face due to having adult acne but also for youth!

Thanks

I absolutely LOVE philosophy skin care products. Purity made Simple is awesome. I wear waterproof mascara and it takes it off. My skin never feels dry. The Microdelivery Exfoliating Face Wash, Hope in a Jar & Hope in a Tube are equally as wonderful. I also use Bare Escentuals Mineral Powders because they allow my skin to breathe and look luminous. The sunscreen in them is a bonus as well.

Holly, as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant I can say that you’re absolutely right. How a woman looks completely affects how she feels. If she feels good about herself she feels good about what she’s doing. That’s the best part about selling the products, seeing the satisfaction on women’s faces and boosting their moods and knowing that they will be 100% satisfied or I’ll give them their money back.

My workout clothes are purchased in a variety of places. I am particular about how things fit and when I find a brand I like – I stick with it.
Love underamour shorts – find these at sporting goods stores – the one by me is called Dicks.
As far as tops go – seems the sporting goods stores have cute styles but nothing fits me right. So I opt for regular cotton tanks found at Kohls or Old Navy.
Sometimes I get lucky and find cute pieces at a TJ Max or a Marshalls.

Hi Holly,

Would you mind telling us where you purchase your workout clothes?
