(Re)Introducing: TRAIN YOUR BRAIN
She’s awake every morning at 5:00 am. Before the sun. Before her family. She laces her shoes, ties her hair back, slips the headphones into her ears and takes off. This is her sacred time, and she almost never misses it. Running gives her peace of mind, and it keeps her body healthy.
(Re)Introducing: KEEP GOING
One morning in 1982, a bright 17 year-old girl opened a rejection letter from her dream college. In the following years, she lost her mother and miscarried her first child. Her husband was abusive and after just a year of marriage, she was a divorced, single mother suffering from severe depression. She relied on welfare to make ends meet and at 30, she contemplated suicide.
(Re)Introducing: BE HAPPY WITH NOW
Wanting more, versus being grateful for what you’ve got: it’s a modern-day conundrum. We desire things, long for things, wish for things, and have big dreams—but does that mean that we aren’t living in the moment? And similarly, if we commit to living in the moment, does that mean we’ve settled?
(Re)Introducing: FOCUS ON THE GOOD
At a resort that appeared to be teeming with happy couples, on their honeymoons no doubt, she had a hard time feeling relaxed, let alone happy. And while her friends tried their best to distract her from heartache with tropical drinks, sunshine, and togetherness, all she felt was empty.
(Re)Introducing: LET IT GO
That thing—it was done to you. That thing that no one else has had to suffer through, you did. That thing that turned your life so upside down, you didn’t even recognize yourself, for a while. That thing gave you scars, and made you hate the mirror for a while, didn’t it?
(Re)Introducing: HOLD ON
I see you there, girlfriend. Head foggy, chest heavy. You’re hurting right now. Wondering what the point of it all is, or when it will end. If it will. Maybe you’re on day three of dry shampoo and yoga pants. Or maybe you look perfectly polished on the outside but you’re dying inside.
(Re)Introducing: JUST BE
![Re)Introducing: JUST BE....There are the hustlers. The movers. The shakers. The wannabe money makers. There are the do-ers. The dynamos. The self-starters and the live wires. There are the opportunists. And the busy bees. And the achievers. And the very, very eager beavers..Everyone’s frantic worrying about tomorrow — about how much money they’ll make, what they’ll do next, how they’ll finally be happy when [blank] happens. Life seems to make a lot of promises for the future, indeed..But what about now? What about this actual moment, right this very second, that you’re in, as you read this? Are you able to enjoy the process of engaging with these words? Do you feel content and at peace with just being here, and letting this moment be enough? Can you let the judgment go, even for just a handful of seconds, so you can finally JUST BE?.Funny how two little words can know so much..Now available in the Notes to Self Collection, I Choose Beauty's signature product line designed with healing words. Mugs, totes, tank tops and more to make you feel good every day.

(Re)Introducing: SAVOR THE LAUGHTER
It’s easy to take it all for granted—especially the small things. That little smile that spread across your face while you were washing the dishes; the belly laugh you got after watching your niece do somersaults. These are the fabric of life, these moments. This is what we’re here for.
