Nurture Your Beauty

🌟 Hey everyone! 👋 It's been a while since I last posted, and that's because my sister and I have been hard at work preparing for the grand opening of our boutique Mama’s Cheeky Boutique 🛍️💃

It’s been an incredible journey, but I'll admit I haven't been doing a great job at taking care of myself lately. 🏃‍♀️🍃

✅ So, it's time to refocus and strike that balance!

This is our reminder that we must live in the moment, cherish our loved ones, and nurture our well-being all while chasing goals, dreams and passions.

Thank you for your continued support! Stay tuned for more updates and exciting moments on this journey we call life!✨

I believe that every human was designed for a unique purpose in life.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day busyness of life. Work, kids, pets, driving here and there, cleaning, working, cooking, etc… we can quickly lose sight of our own goals and dreams.

While you may be comfortable, content and happy with your life, is there something else that you wish you were doing?

Something that you wish you could experience?

Have you reached all the goals you set for yourself in life but still wonder if there is more for you?

I have found myself throughout life checking things off my goal list. As I check things off, I keep adding more! Why?

Because I don’t want to allow myself to just go through the motions and stop dreaming?

Why allow ourselves to get so comfortable that we don’t continue to grow, learn, do and be more?

I am so excited for this next chapter in my life. I’m 47 years old and while some may say that I’ve lived more than half of my life, I refuse to believe that it all ends here. I have so much more to live and do and be. 😁

How about you?

Are you living out your full purpose in life?

If you aren’t feeling fulfilled or if you have reached many of your goals and dreams, but still feel like you were made for more, what’s stopping you from choosing to achieve those goals?

You were made for a unique purpose and that CAN mean that there is so much more for you in life.

Does this resonate with you? If so, that makes me so happy. 💕

Here’s one more truth… surround yourself with other like-minded women…. Others who will inspire, motivate and empower you. You become like the people you spend time with, so choose wisely and then you will love our your unique purpose - whatever that might be for you!

Every time we fail, it’s an opportunity for growth. It’s what we do after we fail that matters most.

Love to you all 💕

“Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” ~ Oprah Winfrey

Isn’t that so true?

What’s one fashion trend that you’re really not a fan of?

Who are you surrounding yourself with?

“They” say that you become like the people you associate with.

If that’s true, I want to spend time with goal-driven, risk-taking, positive and joyful women!

Do we have anything in common?

💋

You know those moments when you see a successful women and you think to yourself,

”I could never do what she’s doing. I could never be as a successful as her.”

Well, I need to let you know that there are women thinking the exact same thing when they see YOU!

Keep pressing forward.
Keep moving and pursuing.
Keep being inspirational!

👋 Let's talk about something truly amazing and often overlooked: the incredible impact our words and thoughts can have on our overall health and well-being! 🌻

We all know that taking care of our physical health 🏋️‍♀️ is so important, but let's not forget about the power of our minds 🧠 in this journey towards wellness.

Our thoughts can be like seeds, planting either positivity or negativity in our lives. 🌱 When we fill our minds with positive affirmations and optimism, we can unlock a world of benefits for ourselves.

🌿 "I am strong, I am resilient, and I am capable of overcoming any challenge that comes my way!" 🌿

Remember, the way we talk to ourselves matters! Instead of dwelling on limitations, let's focus on possibilities and potential. Each day, focus on replacing self-doubt with self-belief, and fear with courage. 💪

The words we speak to others can also shape their realities and impact their health journeys. A kind word, a listening ear, or an encouraging message can go a long way in brightening someone's day and boosting their spirits. Let's be mindful of our language and use it to uplift and inspire those around us. 🤝

Studies have shown that a positive mindset can lead to reduced stress, improved immune function, and a greater sense of well-being. So, let's cultivate a garden of positivity in our hearts and minds, and watch as it blossoms into improved health and happiness. 🌺

Here are some simple tips to get started:

1️⃣ Practice daily affirmations: Repeat positive statements to yourself each morning. It sets the tone for the day ahead!

2️⃣ Surround yourself with positive influences: Choose friends and companions who uplift and support you in your goals and endeavours.

3️⃣ Be kind with your words: Encourage and inspire others through your speech, spreading positivity wherever you go.

4️⃣ Gratitude is the attitude: Focus on the things you're grateful for, and watch how it shifts your perspective.

Let's journey through this life by really focusing on the incredible power of words and thoughts and how collectively they can either help us or harn/hurt us. I’d personally rather work to positively nurture my mind, body, and soul.💖 How about you?

Hi there. I thought I’d take a few moments to introduce myself to my new followers and friends. ♥️ Thank you for joining me here. 🙏

My name is Amanda and I’m a mom of 2️⃣ amazing teenagers, Calvin and Bailey. I have been married to my soulmate, Curtis, for 23 years!

I’m not only a mom and wife, I’m also a working mom. I have been working in the education sector since 2001 as an elementary teacher and, since 2017, I have been in the role of elementary principal. I am passionate about leadership, and motivating and inspiring others. While education has always been my passion, since I can remember, I have always dreamed of owning my own business and being my own boss; working on my own terms and living a life that provides me with multiple opportunities.

I have successful run two businesses since 2005, and am now trying some new endeavours.

I have learned through the years that the sky is the limit when you are clear about your goals, dreams and aspirations. It’s only ourselves who are holiding us back.

Over the past few years, I have really re-evaluated where I want to be in life, what I want to achieve and how I want to live. There has been a lot of inner work and growth, and I am proud to share that I no longer care what others think and I am unapologetically chasing after what I want in life —- and for that I am so thankful for the experiences I have had that have led me to this new mindset.

It’s truly a gift to be able to live a life that fulfils all of my desires and dreams. My work as a principal allows me to lead, teach and inspire both students and educators. My blog www.nurtureyourbeauty.ca allows me the freedom to express my lived experiences, my expertise in various topics, and share my inner most thoughts. I am also fortunate enough to own Mama’s Cheeky Boutique with my sister, Courtney. Do I plan to pursue all of these forever, I’m not sure! I am open to growing and changing and making shifts as needed and as God leads me.

My hope through this page and my blog is to inspire you to prioritize yourself and your goals while living in this busy world. Chase after all of your dreams and learn to work towards achieving all of your aspirations by being intentional everyday; creating small habits that will move you towards what success means to you.

Thank you for joining me in this community as we work to nurture our inner and outer beauty.

Much love,
xoxo Amanda
