Everett never met a noodle he didn't like. #everetteats . . 25/31: What things are you really really good at? . . Okay, so I hate assuming I'm good at things because I don't want to ever like brag, or I compare, or I'm worried someone else isn't going to think it's good, but whatever. I need to stop thinking that way. . I'm good at drawing and painting. I'm good at my job, doing hair and makeup. I'm a fairly good cook/baker when I try. I'm good at being a mom (I mean, usually, #worldsokayestmom 😂) I'm good at listening and being there for friends and family. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp0lQp7FJkI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sulz51q7ic1h

Wednesday on Wednesday. #spooky 🎃🦇🕷️🕸️👻 . . . 22/31: What things makes you feel bad, but you find yourself doing them anyway? . . Eating all the junk food. 🍰🥧🍫🎂🍪🍩🍬🍭 I'm a stress binge eater and having Halloween candy accessible is dangerous 😂😂 Also doubting myself and telling myself I'm not capable or the things I do aren't good enough. Whether that's in my art or just life in general. https://www.instagram.com/p/BpmfInEBJvg/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l9lriehepfa

@alexkehlnhofer took some really cool pictures of me and she's great! Check out her insta and buy some of her awesome art 🍂🍁🍂 . . Now back to the challenge because I'm a slacker. . . 20/31: How can you give yourself a break today? . . Well the rest of my day will be semi hectic at work, but this morning was fairly relaxing and chill and it was great. . . . 21/32: What's something you're working on believing that you deserve? . . Well this question hits home a little 😬 Since going through some changes in my personal relationships I'm having to rethink how I think about love and relationships. So just believing that I deserve to be happy and loved as cheesy as that sounds. 🙃 (at Mayville, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpkY2R5h2N4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=w358bktmbndn

19/31: How are you making the world a better place? . . Trying to be a decent human? Being kind and accepting of others. Helping where I can. Being aware of how the things I buy/eat affect the planet. Hoping the little things add up to make the world a better place ✌️☮️🌎🖤 . . Also my dog is cute 🐕🐶 #hanatheshibainu (at Zeigler Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpXG2yUBCoO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vibbtpxg4cm9

08/31: What's one change you can make to increase your happiness? . . Being more intentionally kind to others on a daily basis. Making others smile or feel good directly can make you feel good as well and if more people thought like that this world could be a lot cooler. ✨ https://www.instagram.com/p/BpVyy55h2bb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uedchlh72whj

17/31: When was the last time you indulged yourself and how? . . Well tomorrow I go get another tattoo! I've wanted more tattoos for a long time and could never justify spending the money on myself. But better late than never! https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSAYARglxJ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=111qgvzw5vbhp

Finally made it out to the pumpkin farm yesterday! 🎃 It was cold, but lots of fun. We ate caramel apples and I thought I was possibly going to lose a child in a corn maze 👌😂 . Kind of fell off my #31daystoselflove wagon, so I’ll just pick up where I left off. . 16/31: What is the most loving thing you’ve ever done for yourself? . This was a tough one for me to think of, maybe that’s part of the procrastination. 😅 Um, I think choosing to move forward, let go, and not feel ashamed that my life isn’t in the place I pictured it being in. Moving forward from that “ideal” has led me to experiencing life a little fuller and looking at everything in a new way lately.

14/31: What would your younger self be proud of you for today?     . That I’m kind of figuring out this adulting thing. That I have a job that allows me to be creative and help others. That I have two super cool and sweet kids. That even though my dreams and goals have grown and changed with me, I’m still striving for bigger and better things. . 15/31: What are you afraid to ask for? What do you need to speak up about? . Help. I always want to prove I can do things on my own. Whether that's to prove that I can or I’m just too embarrassed to ask for help. I also can be particular about things, so I tend to think it’s just easier to do things myself because then they’ll be done the way I want. But I need to learn to speak up when I need help, and not be embarrassed about it because the world would be a much better place if we all just helped each other out more often. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo-Njt_hhtn/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1awv1esl3t92t

I was a big slacker. 😬😂 I had a super refreshing weekend away, but the first couple days back into reality were long lol. So here it goes, catching up... . 10/31: How can you set better boundaries in your life? . I need to me more conscious of the commitments I make and either get better about following through, or saying no if it makes me feel overwhelmed. Sometimes I take on too much because I don’t want to disappoint anyone but then I don’t follow through or don’t do it to my full ability because I just took on more than I can handle. It’s okay to say no. . 11/31: How would you describe yourself, in a loving way, to a stranger? . I think I come off as pretty quiet and probably awkward at first, but eventually you’ll find that I’m fun and weird. I go with the flow and like trying new things. I care a lot for those that choose to spend their time with me. I’ve been told I’m and old soul. . 11/31: What things make you feel happy to be alive? . My kids, my family, my friends, my dog. Moments when I have the opportunity to slow down and appreciate the beauty around me. https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo2PNOwhY8d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=m4j3cu5tz84h

Such an amazing weekend with part of my salon family at #avedacongress ❤️ I'm so blessed to have a boss (@yvonneculver 😘) that inspires and encourages me and helps me be able to do super cool things like this to help further my education. It was also super amazing to see hair and makeup artists I've admired from Instagram in person and even be able to breifly meet a couple of my idols (@ianmichaelblack & @jgeason 😍) I can't wait for the next opportunity I can find to take a class with one of them! AND I've fallen even more in love with @aveda after being reminded and further educated about all the company does and stands for. They are truly a brand I can align myself with and want to share with all my guests. If you didn't know I was a hairstylist and want to see what that's all about, follow @vontisalon to see some of my work 💇💇‍♂️ https://www.instagram.com/p/BovQ8caBFZu/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rdrjg7bbv8o5

09/31: What is something in your life that you need to get rid of? - - I didn't realize it until this weekend, but I have become very complacent in my career. I need to get rid of that comfort zone and remember what drew me into this industry in the first place. I have been so inspired by the amazing creative artistry that was presented at Aveda Congress. - Not only was I inspired to be artistic and creative in my craft, I was also reminded at how powerful my job is and that I cannot take that for granted. I hold the power to transform someone's whole view of themselves. What I do is sacred and can save lives.

🌼🌼🌼 - 08/31: Where in your life do you need to slow down and take your time? - - Time with my kids for sure. I feel like I'm in this overwhelming mindset of having to get so much done right now that I'm not focusing on my time with my boys. Chores can wait, but they're only little for so long and I want to enjoy it. https://www.instagram.com/p/BosazE6h8RT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p0elpt5jth6d

07/31: Name one thing you really like about your body and your personality 🖤 - - My face? That counts as a part of my body, right? 😂 And personality-wise, I love my ability to find joy and humor in many situations, it makes life a lot more fun. https://www.instagram.com/p/BopfIpyBxAv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pd60o841clde
