I don’t know about you, but I feel my best when I look my best? There were a few years there when all my kids were very young that I let myself get incredibly lazy about making sure I looked my best. I didn’t really feel good about myself, so I didn’t put much care into how I looked. Looking back, I think it was just like a giant ball that kept spinning and I couldn’t stop it. If I had put a little more effort into how I looked, I probably would have felt much better.
Now before you start judging me and calling me vain, I’m definitely not the kind of woman who thinks I always need to have perfectly manicured nails and elegantly coiled locks. Quite the contrary actually. Some days I wear makeup, some days I don’t. Some days I wear my hair in a high ponytail, some days I take the time to style it. My best isn’t the same every day. In fact, it changes frequently. What’s my best one day, won’t necessarily be my best the next day.
I know we all have that one outfit, or that one color lipstick, or that favorite pair of shoes that always makes us feel like a million bucks. You know the one. The second you put it on and look in the mirror, your mood immediately changes and you feel beautiful.
But look at you (yes, go right now and look in the mirror — I’ll wait), you’re beautiful without the lipstick, and without your favorite outfit, and without your most stylish pair of shoes. You are beautiful simply because you’re you!

Ha! I have the Moroccan Oil shampoo and conditioner from Suave in the shower ! I love how my hair smells and feels when I use it.

I love this initiative. My kids make me feel beautiful!
Marcie W. says
I feel that beauty can be found everywhere around us. I also think your personality and heart is what truly makes a person beautiful. It is nice to know that Suave agrees.
diana elizabeth says
I’m commenting as I have been in PJ’s all day – I tell you a shower and nice shampoo would have definitely made me feel more beauitful today, haha. Sometimes work gets too busy as soon as we wake up but it’s important to put that little effort every day. Love Suave products!
Chasing Joy says
Effort makes me feel beautiful. I always feel beautiful when I put some effort into my appearance.
Dee @ Cocktails with Mom says
This is such a great message. For me feeling good on the inside brings out the beautiful on the outside.
Ryan Escat says
Suave is really beautiful product. I Love it, because it gives natural beauty to my hair.
Sara P. (@SensiblySara) says
I love this contest!! I feel pretty when I take the time to do my hair and put on more than just jeans & t-shirts.
Ellen ThatChicMom says
I love this post 🙂 What a great sweepstakes to enter!!
JanetGoingCrazy says
What a great sweepstakes. I might have to enter it! I need to get back to living beautifully for me.
Michelle F. says
What a great contest. I love using Suave products too.
LydiaF says
Where I live it’s rare to see a woman on the street in workout clothes or tennis shoes…and when they are wearing that stuff, it’s coordinated. Otherwise, they’re always dressed neatly, with an artfully tied scarf and usually a little makeup. It took awhile to change my habits from the usual schlep to the store in my yoga pants because it’s easier. I definitely feel more confident when dressed neatly.
Kristi says
Suave sure has a great line of products. Something for everyone. The part that makes me feel beautiful is my shoes… love a good pair of shoes!
Chrystal | YUM eating says
I’ve used Suave products off and on since I was a kid and that’s a long time! They offer affordable prices and great products; now for the whole family. I haven’t tried this new keratin line yet.
Alicia says
My kids make me smile and help me feel beautiful. I don’t do makeup, I get lazy and just throw my hair in a ponytail everyday.
Thanks for this post!
Rosey says
I like Suave products. Big secret, I sometimes use my kids’ Suave for kids shampoo instaed of my salon shampoo because I think it makes my hair turn out better.
Scott says
That’s a great giveaway and with so many winners! Hadn’t tried this brand before, but will give it a look when I’m in the store.
Michele says
What makes me feel beautiful? Everything and nothing if that makes sense. With me it is a state of mind not something I am wearing or doing!
Shell Feis says
Thank you for this! My boys are young so I’m kind of at that point of not taking the time for myself. I do my makeup every day but I still feel like I’m barely keeping it together sometimes so things like working out or getting a pedicure kind of fall by the wayside.
Toni | BoulderLocavore says
I always feel best when I put effort in my appearance no matter where I’m going. I’m glad Suave knows that too!
Raijean says
Nothing like a fresh hairstyle to make me feel beautiful. I keep telling myself, I’m beautiful no matter what. Love this!
Debi Gerhart says
This is a great post! It’s definitely true that if you look good you feel good!
Cinny says
I love that quote! It’s definitely a better day when you look good and feel good.
diane says
It’s hard to look in the mirror some days and remember that we are beautiful. A very inspiring message!
LauraOinAK says
What a great post! I know that when I am all ‘done up’ and wearing nice clothes I feel a LOT better about myself than when I’m in sweats at home with the boys.
Jacqui Odell says
It’s important to remember on those bad days that we are beautiful!! (I personally love Suave!)
