Face your fears!

Whether its heights (guilty) or wearing a crop top (guilty again), we’re all afraid of something! So today we’re talking all about things that have scared me (then and now) and how I overcome them + sharing this cute color combo for our month of lilac!

Fears of mine – I like everyone, have fears but don’t let them hold me back anymore. I’m terrified of heights but I love hot air balloons, and you can’t have one without the other so I choose to face the fear and fly high. Fears don’t have to be so black & white, some of us are afraid fo showing up bellies, arms or buts – all things I’ve hidden about my body in the past. I have bigger arms because of genetics, and no amount of weight I shed will change that – I know, I’ve tried. So I could spend my life avoiding spaghetti straps, or I could face my fear and rock it anyways. I’ve learned that with body fears, you’re usually the only one afraid of it, almost everyone else doesn’t see what you see.

Some fear color and if thats the case I suggest giving this months color of the month a whirl. Incase you missed it, we’re celebrating lilac all month long which makes me so happy because its sooo easy to wear. Since lavender / lilac are having a magic moment right now, you’ll see them everywhere this spring – but even the girl with the biggest color fear can wear this hue. Dip your toe into the lilac pool with a lilac mani, swim around in it by trying a lilac blouse for the office or go full on lavender crazy with light purple dress!

If drenching yourself in this color isn’t enough, spice things up by pairing it with another color. I love how lilac looks like bright colors like yellow, orang (pictured) or courtney green. It’s also good with pastel hues like mint, baby blue, or blush, so there really are so many options!

Whatever your afraid of: color, heights, showing your body – I encourage you to embrace the fear, look it straight in the face and tackle it. Fly a hot air balloon, wear a red lip, show off your midriff – anything to push yourself out of your comfort zone. Because the only thing we should really be afraid of is not having the chance to actually face our fears. You have that chance now, take it!
