This week I am linking up with Melyssa over at The Nectar Collective for her Weekly Wishes. What's funny is that I had envisioned something like this for my blog before I published my first post on May 1. I wanted to create a little challenge for myself, and allow others to join me for the little challenges in order to create a community of encouragement, as well as hold myself accountable. When Melyssa published her first Weekly Wishes post, I wanted to jump right in, but I needed to wait until I had the time to put together a post properly.
So now I'm joining in. I intend to make my Weekly Wishes confidence-based, meaning I want to do something each week that boosts my self-confidence. I was not born with it, certainly was not raised with it, and as an adult I've been trying to get the kind of confidence that others seem to have in spades. So, for my first Weekly Wishes challenge:
I wish to wear bold lipstick every day this week.
I hope that this will help me to feel a little more confident, as I think you have to have some confidence in order to pull off a bold red or pink. As an added bonus, I will try to document said bold lips- follow me on Instagram to see how I do!
Meanwhile, I'm also joining Melyssa by co-sponsoring a giveaway with some lovely ladies on her blog! Here is what she has to say:

Lady I am loving your weekly wish!! This is a great idea! Sometimes I get nervous by wearing bright lipstick so a stain is a good ice-breaker! Following you on Instagram to see how you do!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I bet a stain is a good way to test the waters.
DeleteWhat a fun challenge! I could definitely use a little more confidence with lipstick too~ I always feel as though it's wearing me and not the other way around! Good luck!! x
ReplyDeleteThank you! Oh, I know what you mean about lipstick wearing you. That's what I'm hoping to reverse this week!
DeleteI love that you have chosen something like this! I have been trying to wear brighter lipsticks because I always admire women who rock the bright lips. I want to see what colors you pick this week and maybe I'll be inspired to do the same. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you and me too! I think women with bright lips look so confident and chic- and that is what I want!
DeleteThis sounds like a fun challenge! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI love that you are using your weekly wishes to boost your self-confidence, such a great idea. Good luck with your first challenge!
ReplyDeleteBold lips are my favorite! If you need any recommendations on brand and color, thisaway! You're going to look so great it in!

That's a great link-up challenge! And your picture on instagram looks great. The pink shade looks perfect. For me, it's all about posture...sitting, standing, leaning...if I have good posture it always helps me feel more confident.
ReplyDeleteRock that beautiful lipstick, girl! Great weekly post, I'm with Bonnie ^ Posture is my best friend to promote confidence (and a good hair day!)
ReplyDeleteLove your goal and how you are doing confidence-based stuff as a theme... And you go with the lipstick... I don't even own any but I love when people rock it and well! I feel like you'd pull off a red lip really well! :) My goal this week has to do with wearing nail polish and I am shifting my goals over to represent more "fun" stuff (I started thinking of a bunch of goals but I realized: I really don't do things that are just for fun... and I want more of that, so my weekly wishes will focus on that!). :) Good luck and can't wait to see the instagram documentation! :)

Well I can't really add to the lipstick conversation of course but I can at least wish you a good week :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, I think wearing red lipstick is a great way to spice up your life- such a simple change to make. I'm glad you're enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteLove the lipstick challenge as a way to rock confidence, what a fun way to approach it!
ReplyDeleteI love that you're giving your Weekly Wishes posts a theme! That's a great idea! :) And I really hope that you will enjoy rocking a bold lip every day this week! It may feel a bit unusual at first, but as soon as the week is over you will probably feel like something's missing. ;)

Never underestimate how awesome you will feel with a splash of bright lippy on! It always makes me feel great, even when I'm feeling a bit under the weather.
ReplyDeleteI have a new found love for red lipstick. Enjoy! Great goal!
