Dressing Your Truth...What About You?

Hey, friends, I hope you have enjoyed my mini-series about Dressing Your Truth.  I truly have been having a blast finding my new look and I am giving myself about a year to truly make this a reality for me!

Just some quick questions:

*Have you taken the Beauty Profiling Course?

*Have you read through all my blog posts?

*Do you have questions for me?

*Are you interested in Dressing Your Truth?


I honestly was not looking for this, but once I found it, I was thrilled.  As I said before, I didn't like shopping, I dressed in the same drab clothes and I was feeling a little down on myself.  After taking the course and watching tons of great videos for tips and tricks, I am finding that I truly can have fun and feel beautiful inside and outside.

So, what about you?

I can say, you will not regret it.  It has been worth every penny that I spent!  The information you learn here will truly enhance your life.  So if it's something that you want to pursue, go for it!

PS. Check out my Pinterest Board for Type 4!  Well, not everything is Type 4, but mostly!

Dressing Your Truth Support Services and Rewards

 

 

 

I have shared a lot about Dressing Your Truth on my blog these past few weeks.  I am really enjoying this journey and I am learning something new everyday!  It's exciting and I see my confidence building and I have a sense of enjoyment getting ready each day.

 

So one of the first things they give you is a gift certificate for $10 to their online store.  What is really unique about the store is that after you have completed the Beauty Profiling Videos and have figured out your type, you can shop at the part of the store that exclusive for your type!  So I bought a black jacket and a black purse.  Since then I have bought a few more items that I'm waiting for to get in the mail.

 

 



So, I have had some questions that I needed answered about some of my orders and other things.  They have a great support staff and when I email them, I hear back within one day.

Another great support group is the Facebook page for Type 4.  It's fun to ask questions and many people post their Outfit of the Day.  Lots of great ideas floating around there.

Even though this is an online course, they make it very user friendly just like you are with them in person.  I took advantage of the Hair Support and got a Hair Consultation.  Like I said, I feel like I've fallen so far away from being fashionable that I needed HELP!  So I sent in pictures of me and some questions.  I received a 4 minute video with precise detailed instructions along with pictures to show my stylist as well as a 2 page note explaining different ways to style my hair using various products and exactly what to tell my stylist.  I took their advice and now I have a new haircut that I absolutely love!

As for REWARDS!!! 

Every time you shop at the Dressing Your Truth store you earn points.  You get 5 points for every dollar you spend and for every 1000 points you earn you get a $10 credit.

And when someone else purchases the Dressing Your Truth Course through your link you get reward points from that as well.

They show a running total of your points in the member center.  It's fun to see how much I need to earn to get my next reward!

And they also have several special's here and there.  I just got 20% off my last order due to St. Patrick's Day.

I'm still working on my "look," but I'm getting there!

Let God DVD Review

 

Amelia and her husband Levi leave on a very dangerous and terrifying journey to find gold and a better life.  Amelia is very reluctant, but because she loves and honors her husband she leaves the only place where she feels safe.  On the way, their wagon is attacked and Levi is killed.  Amelia is left scared and alone.  She uses her wits to survive, but knows there's a higher power that is helping her live. 

 

This video had very little dialogue, but a lot of movement.  You could read the emotions of this young wife as her face and actions showed her fear, courage and strength.  I was surprised and thrilled how this heroine fought her way through these struggles and stayed strong as she looked to the source of her hope.  This was a mysterious and suspenseful film that gave a hard look at the realities of prairie life in 1848.

 

 

*I was given a complimentary copy of this DVD from Edify Media for the purpose of this review.  All opinions are my own.*

42 Days to Fit (by Brandy Ferguson)- Success Story!

In January we booked out 10 year anniversary trip to Hawaii.  Yikes!  I have been trying since last year to lose some extra weight and I haven't been able to do it.  I really needed a boost to help me work hard the next two months before our trip.  I had downloaded 42 Days to Fit on Kindle when it was released and I actually tried to start it a few times, but never got past the first few days.  NO MORE!  This upcoming trip was definitely giving me a jumpstart to make some changes in my health.

 

 

For me, I truly don't "enjoy" exercise, but I know it's good for me and I really want the benefit of losing weight, getting healthy and having energy.  Somewhere around November I stopped exercising.  I also got sick with a cough and I honestly didn't feel like exercising.

 

 

So in the middle of January I picked up 42 Days to Fit and read the first chapter.  Brandy Ferguson from The Marathon Mom is a mother of 8 boys and she took this challenge and was able to develop a very doable plan to start making healthy choices and in the process was able to enjoy life as well as lose weight and eat right.

 

Each week includes exercise and food challenges and added on to those each week.  At first I didn't like the NO dessert and exercising 5 days a week!  I took on as many challenges as I could and being honest, I did cheat a little with dessert, but I continued exercising and I made the habit to exercise 5 days a week and I am still doing that.

A great part of this program is the Journey Guide which includes questions to spur your thinking, a place to take measurements and a place to take extra notes.  This was very helpful for me to put down on paper what I planned to do and what I was doing.  The link to the pdf file is included in the ebook.

 

Brandy shares her struggles as well as her successes. She is an amazing encouragement!  For me, I developed the exercise habit, got stronger, had more energy, created some healthy eating habits and I met my goal weight!!

 

There are so many fun ideas in 42 Days to Fit .  There are also links to videos for exercising and recipes.

Let me tell you, it can be done!  I recommend that you start today...to get ready for summer!  I'm still working out and eating well.  It makes a big difference in how I feel.  You can do it too!

Becoming My Own Personal Beauty Expert- Dressing Your Truth

Do you remember when I told you that I HATE shopping?  Well, just the other day I went shopping with my color card and had an amazing time trying on clothes true to my type.  This has never happened before.  I would always second guess myself, but this time I was confident and could quickly identify what clothes were right for me and what were not.  Snap!!

Here is my color card and a very beautiful red shirt that I already had that I love that matches perfectly.

My next biggest step was taking everything out of my closet that didn't fit my type.  Here are 2 pictures.  Guess what I kept??

Needless to say, my Type 4 closet is pretty empty.  I'm good on pink and black shirts though!

I do love all the clothes in the above picture, but I'm going to give them a little rest for now and  honestly, I truly do choose the shirts in the lower picture on a more daily basis.

In the course for my Type 4 there are a series of videos:
*The 5 Elements: Design Line, Texture, Pattern, Fabrication and Pattern
*Jewelry
*Foundation
*Makeup
*Hair- Cut, Color, Style, Curly Hair Tutorial
*Transformation Story

Carol Tuttle gives you a lot of confidence to discover your own unique style through your type.  She says, "You are your own authority.  We are here to guide and direct you to do what honors your true self."  She NEVER puts you down, but always builds you up.  She is sincere, genuine and very knowledgeable.  She employs many excellent women who have gone through transformation and look absolutely beautiful.  They share tips, tricks and so much other helpful information that is truly fascinating to watch.

Another great section of the course are all the Club Night recordings!  Basically, about 6 times a year they host a club night in their center in Utah.  They cover topics like scarves, hair styles, shoes, winter wear, refashioning, makeup and even exercise wear.  Each video features all 4 types with models in the back dressed as each type.  They often bring people up for the audience to remake them to truly bring out their type.  It's so fun to watch!!  I am getting tons of ideas.  They have been making videos since 2009 and have over 40 videos.  They have Hands On Events that dig deeper into your style with specific outfit ideas, jewelry, makeup tips and how to personalize your style. 

This program is not about making cookie cutter women, but about drawing you out to dress who you are!  I'm so excited to see how my transformation will go this year.  I'm giving myself time to do this.  I honestly have never been excited about anything like this before.

I hope that if you are really struggling in this area that you will take some time to watch the FREE Beauty Profiling Course. 

Here are some comments that have been made about Dressing Your Truth:

*I love the confidence it has given me and the peace that comes from the clarity of knowing who you are!
*I love how everything goes together.


Next time I will share about all the great support services that I have found through Dressing Your Truth as well as rewards that you can earn. 

Choosing My Course- Dressing Your Truth

Were you able to sign up for the FREE Beauty Profiling Course?  I hope you did and are enjoying it.  It's just part of Becoming Your Own Beauty Expert.

So after I took the Beauty Profiling Course and read Carol Tuttle's book Discovering Your Personal Beauty Profile, I figured out what Type I was.  There are 4 types, each with their own unique descriptions.

I am Type 4- Bold and Striking!  Even as I was watching the videos and reading the book I was drawn to many of the words that described me.

Did you know that dressing who you are makes people look at you in certain way?  If you wear a really bright color and your hair is done up in a cute style, people might assume you are happy and peppy, but you may be quiet and shy.  Honestly, it doesn't matter what you wear as long as you feel good in it.  But with Carol's great tips and advice, you might see yourself in a different light.

I always wondered why I couldn't be as outgoing or loud or confident or graceful.  That's because that is not really me.  I tried to dress like those things.  But I know that I am quiet, still, conservative, reflective, serious, strong and independent.  That's who I am and that's how I can dress.

Each type of beauty has a specific color combination as well as tips about pattern, style, jewelry, hair and other accessories.  When I watched the Dressing Your Truth Course, I wasn't immediately drawn to everything, but I could certainly make my own style.  I absolutely LOVED the colors.

So what type do you think you are?  Just watch the FREE videos in the Beauty Profiling Course.

And if you are interested, you can sign up for the complete Dressing Your Truth Course for your specific type.  There is SO much great information that I will share in my next blog post about what is included in your course.

In the meantime, comment and tell me about your fashion story and anything that has helped you!
