If you don't already know what I am writing about by just reading the title, watch this:
When I first watched this video, it was an ad on YouTube, and I wanted to skip though it but something kept me watching. I didn't think much of it when the video was over, but the second time I watched it, it stuck with me. And I decided to do it, not for my relationships with anyone else, but just with myself.
I am now a whole week into the Love Test and I honestly couldn't be happier with the results that I have come across. I have set apart time every morning to get ready [(Doing my hair and makeup, and picking a cute outfit) The only exception was the day I had my makeup class which I have decided are my makeup-free days, or a natural day.] I've also taken time each morning to clean my face, and give myself a little pamper, which I have never done continuously before. And on my days off, I have taken time to do things I used to love to do that I haven't made time for in a long time.
Like right now I am sitting on the porch to my apartment (which is currently home to an old desk and coffee table) and drinking one of the best hot chocolates I have had in a while, catching up on some reading, and writing blog posts whilst wearing fluffy socks and a cozy cardigan.
I know what you're thinking, "What if I don't want to do a full face of makeup everyday, or do my hair all fancy everyday?" well simple answer is, you don't. Today I only put one eye shadow on, and mascara, because I'm not going anywhere so why would I need a full face of makeup? For me, makeup makes me feel empowered, it's not necessarily to impress anyone. It's just there to make me feel like I am ready to take on the day whatever comes my way.
Throughout this week I have also done other little things to make me feel better and help me love myself a little bit more. I took time to clean my apartment bit by bit as needed, gave myself a manicure, put on a face mask for a pamper session, organized and got rid of makeup that has past shelf life or I just don't use or need anymore, decorated the apartment a little, and I caught up on my homework (slowly but surely). And this next week I am going to get rid of old clothes I don't wear anymore, and I am going to deep clean and organize the place to make it feel less cluttered before winter comes.
The Love Test has given me a whole new sense of confidence, I know now that I am one of the cutest things to walk the earth (in my own humble opinion, haha) and I can honestly say that I look at myself every morning and tell myself that I am beautiful and deserving of great things, because I am and I do.
I suggest you take time to do the Love Test, whether it's to better your relationship with a significant other, or with yourself. It's a heartwarming experience and it's well worth the time and effort that you put into yourself. If this works for you, let me know what positive outcomes you receive, I would love to read them.
Love your beautiful self, because if you don't who will?
