Feeling Off Lately? These Tiny Habits Might Be Why! #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness

I just received a package, haven't taken things out. So as part of my glow up, I have had to learn some new skills as well. I was telling you in my last video about the makeup and how to apply it. Now the makeup's arrived, I have no idea how to use it. And right now I'm really excited to be opening the box and you'll get to see it at the same time with me. Just taking all the wrapping out, shake it all out. Amazing. Okay, what do I have here? So I don't even know what order these are in. So we have Glow Serum. So I think I put that on every day after the shower. This is Glow Serum Face Series. Let's see what it is. Thanks, Mecca. Here we go, first little bit. Next thing I'm going to open is SPF 30 In a Good Light Illuminating Drops. I think I drop them around my cheekbones somewhere. I'm either above or below. I don't know, you guys tell me, tell me how to use all this. Okay, there's this. And then we have this next one, which is the Luminizing and Hydrating UVA UVB SPF 30 protection In a Good Light Face Tint. So I guess this is like my foundation, which is really cool. So excited! It's the end of the day here, so you know my makeup's all worn off from 6:00 this morning. So I'm super excited and I'm going to use these tomorrow. So cool! Then we have our Charlotte Tilbury 24 Hour Lift Effect. How cool is this? Um, so this is for the eyelashes, so some— a new mascara. Okay. And just remember, these are all the things that ChatGPT told me that I could get. I uploaded a photo that I wanted to achieve a certain look, a glow. And so this is it. Look, let's just stop right here. If anyone here is thinking, hey, I'm a woman who has these issues, this is exactly what's going on in my life, just text +61 433 546016 to my WhatsApp. The link is also below in the comments. And let's jump on a call. What's 15 minutes? And what have you got to lose? Let's do this. Let's start a conversation because I want to find out exactly what's going on for you. Let's change your life. Let's get that full life. This is Eyes to Mesmerize Long Lasting Color, and I think this is a gold from memory, champagne color. So here it is. I'm going to open it up. It's like Christmas again. I love it. Let's check it out. Oh, it's a really nice cream. Really lovely. I can't wait to use that. I might just use a little bit. A little too much there. Do the other one. That's a beautiful shimmer, feels really light and cooling on. It's quite hot here today. Um, what else do I have? We have some Off Duty Serum Concentrate, which is really cool. Hydrating Lightweight Concealer, my concealer. So really, really cool. This one might take me a while to open, but let's Really awesome. I love opening new things and I love having a fresh look. And I've loved my hair. It's been almost 24 hours now, probably about 24 hours. I think my first challenge was with my hair extensions was how to lay them because I usually sleep kind of with my hair up like that. But now I've had to— I tried plaiting at the back, too heavy for me. I tried plaiting on the sides, um, they kept kind of pulling here. So I've got to, I guess, do them forward. If you've got any tips, tell me. And then I ended up taking the plaits out last night. I was just too, too uncomfortable, and then I slept. I think I was just trying to guard my head because it's, it's the, the different feeling of how the hair is attached. So there's that. Then we have our— I think this is a highlight. It's like a highlighter. It is called Mecca Max Off Duty Glow Stick. So it's our glow stick. I think I'm used to use a glow stick many years ago. Probably not correctly. So look at photos. If you were born in the '80s, did makeup in the '90s, 2000s, my makeup was orange. I had no idea what I was doing. I'm just telling you real life stuff. I had no one to show me. I had to learn it. I actually— do you know what I did during COVID I went and studied lash extensions. So I got my certificate in that and brow— brow extensions. That'd be really interesting. Brow, lash, and brow tinting and henna, which is really cool. Henna type of tinting with a special henna paint. I loved it. I've still got things in my cupboard, haven't used them for a while. I really enjoy that. I love working with colors, very artistic. I didn't enjoy the lash extensions. I also learned the lash, the perms, the, the curling of the lashes as well. And that's what I did during COVID did something totally different, learned some skills, some feminine beauty skills, which is cool. And still on this journey at 43, learning about new things because I have no idea how to use all This one's called Liposil Expert and is eyelash care and pigmentation serum. So after I wash my makeup off, I will be using this. Really cool. And then we have a couple of different eye pens. I've got the green one, Stila, and we've got the— this is Stay All Day. I think it's waterproof. And this one is a different color. What color is this one? Not too sure, to be honest. Um, anyway, uh, kind of brown color, brown and green. And they gave me a— how generous— a little sample. Very good. I've also got Lip Injection Maximum Plump, which is amazing, and I can't wait to use this, uh, which is so cool. So, so cool. I actually opened one before I had received it yet, different color. So now I've already opened a different color to today, and it works really well. It tingles on your lips, they feel really lovely. But I put it on just before, um, I had to give my kids a kiss this morning. What's this one here? This is Powder Highlighter Champagne Glow. Let's have a look. And this is it with a cover on. I'm so excited. So I'm going to look all champagne-y. And again, referring to that AI-generated Christmas photo of Mina Lollipop in a beautiful silver outfit. I've done the hair bit. Now I get to try the makeup out tomorrow. Oh, it's the second one, so I bought two, uh, accidentally. So I'm gonna have two, which is really cool. And I've just opened it, which is great, so I can give it to my sister. Um, but yeah, I've just opened the second one, but it's still got the little packet on it. Really awesome. And now my box is empty. So now I get to use all of this, and I get to beautify myself and feel really good, because every morning I'm taking time to do my hair, my makeup, and this is after the gym. I'm really grateful for Peter, he gives me a lot of support. Uh, you really need support if you've got children, you need support. If you have no children, there's no excuse. Just get out, go for a walk, go to the gym, do what you need to do. And some days you have more energy than others. Really listen to your body as a woman. And I know with my pharmacy background, dental background as well, there's just a lot going on in your body. You have to tune into it. And the hardest thing that I found is when I have sessions I need to be at and I've committed to them— let's say that Pilates or gym sessions— and you feel like crap. Let's say it's that time of the month like it is for me right now, and I'm just freaking exhausted. Um, I have no energy. Look, I've suffered with low iron. Um, I've had infusions over the last 10 years. The most recent was about 3 4 months ago. Apparently my iron levels are still high, but I just— today I've even got a mild headache. It's just one of those days where I'm just going to take it easy and pamper myself. So this is perfect for me to unwind at the end of the day, to kind of experiment and be ready to use them tomorrow. When I— look, I'm still multi-business owner. You need to take time out for yourself. There is no excuse. I've got my kids. I've got to go cook dinner now. You can see I've been working on my body. My arms have toned up, which is really cool. My body's toned up. My hair magically grew overnight. So this year for me is the year of doing things fast, and that takes investment. And this is inside out. So our mentors are amazing. Andy and Jackie, amazing humans, and I aspire to be just like them, and I'm so grateful to be under their wing. You need to have people that you look up to who have done what you want to do. That's the key thing. Do not follow anyone who has not achieved what you want to achieve, because you're not going to end up achieving what you want to achieve. Or you may achieve it, or close to it, but not to the level beyond you could even imagine or dream. And it takes time. It's not like you can solve things in a month. This is day 114 today of my total recreation, thanks to Andy's challenge for myself and Peter. So Peter and I on this challenge. And it's— I had no idea it would even lead to me opening a box of Mecca makeup. And inside I'm laughing because I'm like, wow, it's amazing what you challenge yourself with and what you truly need to, to feel good, to show up every day. Today I'm so blessed, I feel so beautiful even though I don't have the energy. And inside, like, my head's hurting. I look at myself in the mirror and I'm looking at myself right now as I record here, and I'm super grateful that I said yes to myself. So what do you need to say yes to? You know, I'm just gonna interrupt the video right here. You all know that there's another life waiting for you on the other side of one decision. Start making that decision. And if you feel, oh my goodness, I really resonate with what Vicky's saying right now, I need you to DM Mentor. You will find the link below. To the telephone number, the WhatsApp for you to WhatsApp me no matter where you are in the world. It's a +61 number. WhatsApp me and you'll get through to me. You'll also find some other links there for you to look at other videos and to maybe even book a call straight out with Peter or myself. So let's do this. And welcome back, we're back to the video. This year is all about doing things fast, doing things your authentic way. I don't care what other people think. I'm going to do it my way with the guidance that I want. So what's right for me is not right for you, what's not right for anyone else. But my path is led by amazing humans and people and mentors who have done it before. And I get to do it with my husband Peter and my kids by my side as well. It is so exciting. I can tell you today, my kids are still in school. I have to wait another probably 5 weeks to get this approval to homeschool them, and I don't want them to miss out on anything. I wanna make sure I start right. And I do not miss the drop-off and the pickups. I did them today. With Peter, we did the pickups in the heat, all the cars, the drive this morning, even though there wasn't a lot of traffic. I'm like, this is where I wanna save time and be with my children, physically be present. I do talk to them in the car, but it's not quality time. It's always rush, rush, rush. Let's leave home, leave home by 7:30. Let's go, let's do this. And it's not quality of life because that's how I remember I was. And then every afternoon we've got something on, and now Friday afternoons my son's got more things on. So we've got to balance out a lot. I would rather be in charge of my time, and this is one of the big reasons that I've chosen to homeschool. And this journey is awaiting for me, just like this 113 days has gone by of me totally recreating. I didn't know what I was going to face, and now I'm thoroughly enjoying where I'm at. You can see I'm in my bedroom. I get to be in my bedroom. What time is it in the afternoon? Okay, for those who are— my watch has run out of battery. I've got to charge it. I've got the charger right next to me. Um, for those who are too scared to make even a change of maybe cutting a half a day or a day off work because you think your production is going to go down, that is rubbish. You'll actually be way more productive by working less hours because you're going to be more focused in those hours. Right now, I feel you. You are exhausted. You don't wanna get up in the morning. You don't want your head to leave that pillow, and you are complaining. You are really not nice to your partner, your husband. You're really not nice to your kids. You have a really short temper, and all you wanna do is sleep and stay in bed. Not 'cause you're just tired. It's this mental exhaustion of knowing something's out of alignment. So, start aligning your life. DM me, mentor, or text me mentor and, and do what you need to do to get in touch with me so that you can come into Peter's and my world and stay close.
