Why Centering Ourselves Results In Better Makeup

Hey beauties, welcome back to Creative Contour By Carla ®! Today's blog goes pretty deep, but the connection is totally real here. As you all may have known by now, the past two years, I've been on a rather intense personal healing journey. Well, that personal healing journey was beneficial, and it taught me something super important: the need to center myself. I learned that by centering myself, my world gets better, and so does my makeup.

Seems like a bit of a stretch, right? It did to me too, until I saw it happen in real life.

Well, beauties, lo and behold, it is absolutely true. Let's get into it.

First, let's talk about what centering ourselves means, and why it's important. When we center ourselves, we understand that in order to do anything quite literally, we need a full cup. Centering ourselves puts us first in a healthy manner, so we can function and live happily. It's so important! It is important for us to center ourselves because we carry energy. When we center ourselves, we carry beautiful, loving energy, because we loved ourselves correctly. As we know, energy carries a ripple effect. So it's up to you, beauties: you can carry heavy energy, where you're depleted all the time. Or, you can try your hardest to center yourself daily, and carry a beautiful loving energy!

I know myself that I want to carry a loving, beautiful energy, so I make it my business to find something daily that helps me center myself.

Now, let's talk about centering ourselves daily, and why you should do so. Centering ourselves carries beautiful, loving energy out into the world. By centering ourselves, we also create that energy within. It literally makes you feel better, and in my experience, become more confident. When we feel better and become more confident, we go out into the world boldly and love others, ourselves, and create really cool things. I personally know so many amazing people who are just crushing it in life because they center themselves daily. It truly is a lifestyle practice, but it doesn't have to be anything extreme. I personally like to take a few moments daily, when I need to, and take a few deeps breaths and set an intention. Whatever my next action will be after that moment, I do it with a clear mind, centering myself for my greatest good. It really does help. Especially for those of my beauties who have friends and loved ones and customers who rely on them for emotional, mental and physical support.

So how do we center ourselves? Well, there are numerous ways to do that, but I feel that you need to acknowledge your own needs. You know what your life is like, and how to accommodate your needs. Now that you're reading this blog today, I encourage you to start centering yourself once per day. Make it something small and easy to achieve. Sometimes it's a few deep breaths with an intention like me; sometimes it's making sure you get your morning glass of water each day. Whatever it is, you're worth making time for in your life.

Now onto the good stuff!

Here's how centering yourself makes your makeup look better: it literally starts from within and I swear it gives you this loving glow. When we center ourselves, it is from a place of love. When we love ourselves, we feel better and take better care of ourselves. And where do we see that show up first? Our skin! When you love yourself, your skin literally looks better. It's really that simple! So make sure you center yourself each day, because your skin will look better, and your makeup will look better, too!
