LIPSTI CK, LIPGLOSS, L IPSTAIN... Lips Matter!

Lipstick has and always will be, one of my favorite things. I remember as a little girl, putting it on all of my dolls. My mother wasn’t happy about it, because they all belonged to her...the lipstick, not the dolls! I’ve always been fascinated at how instantaneous that transformation could be.

Over the years, that fascination grew into a wonderful passion for beauty and makeup. Facial features completely floor me because we are all so beautiful in our own, incredibly unique way. Just the way God planned it. That has always been my approach to beauty, loving the woman YOU see in the mirror, period. Unfortunately, not all beauty is celebrated, and we can be mean to each other sometimes. So yes, lips matter and the lipstick and gloss, take a back seat, to what we say.

There is a saying, “The eyes are the windows to the soul.” Well make no mistake, a woman’s lips will tell you exactly how and what she’s feeling, every time. I want women to finally see themselves as God sees them, beautiful and breathtaking.

I lost 20 pounds a while ago kept it off, thank God! During that time, something wonderful happened. While I was focusing on what I put in my mouth, I also began to watch what came out of my mouth as well. Sometimes we’re blocking our own blessings because of what we say. Words truly have power! I watched what I said to others, and especially what I said to myself. It was a total game changer.

So, go try a new lipstick, get a makeover, make time for you, then make it count, because lips matter. The next time you’re at work, in the break room, cafeteria, at church, out running errands...wear your favorite shade and smile. Show your fellow sisters some love, cut them a little slack. It would be a real shame if that beautiful lipstick, or lip gloss turned into a lip stain. Not the pretty kind either. The kind of stain you can’t take back. The kind of stain that leaves a bad taste in your mouth and wounds another woman’s wings. It’s not okay, ever. So, here’s to you and all that you are and remember.....Lips Matter!
