When you feel good about yourself, it shows. This cannot be denied, nor the importance of it overlooked. Everyone on this planet has had moments, days, weeks, years when they doubted themselves. It’s rough to go through those times, but I swear, emerging on the other side feels tremendous!
What does this all have to do with a food blog?!? Eating always has been integrally linked to self confidence for me – when mine is low, I am far less conscious and discriminating about the food I put in my body and both my insides and outsides suffer. When I am mindful of my food choices, EVERYTHING else in my world runs more smoothly, sometimes seemingly effortlessly. I can handle stress, worries, problems, challenges and tasks better when I’m well-fed.
It is an amazing thing to behold: Choose to eat foods that feel right to you, to all parts of your mind, body and spirit, and you’ll find yourself automatically attracting the positive relationships best suited for your life!
P.S. The halter top I’m wearing above is a DIY repurposing of an old t-shirt, no sewing required!

YOU are sexy! I love your confidence – it really shines through in your photo.
Great job with the t-shirt re-do. I like those two colors together. I’ll have to try that color combination.

Oh, thank you, Adrienne!! oxox I’m a very Earthy colors kind of girl – more days than I can count, I’ve looked in the mirror to see brown pants paired with a green blouse and thought, “Tree!”
I had fun trying to get this self-portrait… Let’s just say thank goodness for photo editing software and previous experience as a graphic designer!

Gorgeous photo, Michelle! I have the same issues with food (i.e. mindlessly eating when I’m too tired or feeling down). Great food really makes an impact on a great body/clear mind!
