Regarding fashion: I think the silhouette is more important than fabric, color, cut, etc. Highlight your curves, this doesn't have to mean skintight. But head to toe we are curved differently than men. A long graceful neck, collarbones, bust lines, WAIST, hips, they way our thighs curve into the knee and our calves curve down to the ankles. For me, callanetics has always helped accentuate my bodies natural curves. I wear skirts and dresses because I'm tall and they are just easier to buy than pants most of the time. But I love pants in a variety of cuts. I guess, I'm not limiting myself to full skirts or bows and lace or light colors. When a belt accentuating my waist can have the same punch. Please wear heels! 3-4" heels!
That is SO true!!
Good point. Sometimes it's the CUT of a dress (more than the color) that makes the most difference.
Things that put me instantly in touch with my feminine energy: tamera mowry housley (especially on their reality show); blush, lipgloss, mascara; Karena and Katrina from Tone it Up; getting a mani/pedi; cooking; earrings and bracelets. I use these things when I need to switch energy rapidly. Like after a stressful day but before date night.
You know what, it's very interesting that you mention this!!!! I was about to ask you: "why Tamera???"
, but I think I know what you mean! I haven't watched her reality show much, but I have watched her when she and Tia had their reality show, and I noticed (no offense
) that Tamera seemed to have a more lighter, feminine, and girly energy about her that Tia just didn't really possess. I can't quite put my finger on it. It's interesting that they are twins but yet they have totally different personalities to me! There's a "softness" to Tamera that I don't see with Tia. Not that Tia is "hard" or rough or anything like that, but it's just that her personality is just a tad slightly different than Tamera's. I actually prefer Tamera's personality to Tia's.
Was this what you were referring to? Or was it something else? Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions lol
All that to say:
I've found that no matter what I'm wearing, how my hair looks, make-up or not. When I'm confident and in love with myself that feminine energy is strong and shining through AND all people respond.
This will help make the techniques Melina teaches even more effective and genuine. It has to be genuine.
^^THIS (imo) is the
BIGGEST most important step of all, and SUCH a GREAT point! Thanks for bringing that out!
I think I still have a little more work to do in this area (really BELIEVING deep down in my feminine energy, being confident in it and letting it SHINE), because as I mentioned at the beginning of this thread, I'm the oldest sibling, so I'm used to being "in charge", used to being called "the smart one"
, being the one people turn to (friends, family members, siblings, etc) for advice, the one people look for advice on making "rational" decisions, etc. So my energy can have a more masculine vibe to it if I'm not careful because I can be VERY analytic....
I've been trying to curb that tendency a little bit somewhat this year, mainly because sometimes it can actually HARM you when you OVER-think things (and boy do I ever over-think....
). So, I'm working on this.
I think I'm just overall TIRED of being the "smart", "strong", "independent" one and more so want to be more in my feminine energy for a change.
I want to be taken care of, to feel LIGHT in energy AND personality.
This being "in love" with yourself is a good point Kimbo, and I'm working more and more on it everyday.
