As I looked up in the mirror, I was instantly saddened by the ugly scar left by the pimple I had scratched off last week. When someone compliments how beautiful my name is – I laugh it off saying its the most common girl name in India. Why is that, we seem to focus more on the negative aspects of the things in our life. Why not feel proud of the dimple on the left cheek and ignore the mark on the right one? Why don’t I love the name which literally means love? We tend to worry about the one negative and take the many positives for granted. The more I think about it, I realize that we judge ourselves the most, more than the person across. If you are throwing yourself a pity party about something –  crooked smile or that extra pound on your abs – its time to take one hard look at the mirror and see the good – because it’s there ! I hope when you read this, in some small way it helps you to believe that the one person you need to please, accept the most, judge not at all is YOU!

I wore this outfit to a recent cook-out we had with a couple of friends. I just love how the high-low skirt flutters in the wind. By the way, this colorful bag from India Circus is practically bottomless because it has so much stuff inside you wouldn’t even guess.To help with the monday blues  – I have an exciting giveaway for you today.
