As I go forward with the Glam Squad I am finding myself thinking what is “Glam” to me?
Is it a perfectly made up face?
An outfit a fashionista would die for?
Always being seen at the right party with the beautiful people?
Glamour
(noun) 1. the quality of fascinating,alluring or attracting esp.by a combination of charm and good looks 2. excitement, adventure, unusual activity 3. magic or enchantment; spell; witchery
(adjective) suggestive or full of glamour; glamorous
Reading the definition once again, I pause to really feel Glamour, to choose the words that explain Glamour according to LuuLuu.
Glamour is about the personal you, the best you, the special you. It transcends your personal beauty to an inner glow that produces an outward shimmer. Glamour is about style but not the style of the moment. Style that is uniquely you. Style that makes a statement about you as an individual. The beauty of You.
Inner Glamour – Glamour must start from within. It is about self confidence, knowing who you are and loving her. It is about loving yourself with a full and happy heart. It is about understanding who you are, how you got there and what needs to be changed and what needs to be celebrated. You are a work in process and sometimes the process may be painful, sometimes you might not want to face it but in the end you will come out of it glorious. Step by step Your Glamour will come through. You are the darkness before dawn and every moment you embrace Your Glamour the sun moves closer to the horizon point and the first moments when you embrace Your Glamour will be your dawn, that moment when the sun comes over the horizon point and you are breathless with the dawning of a new day. You cannot help but watch the beauty unfold and the sun burst forth and begin a new day. That brightness like the sun will enfold all you touch with your warmth. Nothing can stop a Glamourous Woman.
Outer Glamour – Our appearance is a shell but oh what a shell it can be. Glamour is about style. Your style not my style. We are all individuals and as such should not mimic another but be an original. Your inner glamour is your first step. Your glow, your confidence is the make-up you wake up with every morning. Your hair, your make-up, your clothes should reflect your beauty. Natural, permed or a weave it is a personal choice. Whatever outward glamour you choose from sexy to earthy. Own it! Claim it!
Living with Glamour – Our surroundings should also reflect who we are. Glam living encompasses not only the person but your home. It should be a place of peace and tranquility that gives you and your loved ones pleasure. It is about being a gracious hostess and a wonderful guest. It is about not being afraid to give pleasure for pleasures’ sake, to create a life that your mate, your family, your friends will be eager to be a part of, to bask in the sparkle of Your Glamour.
Spirit of Glamour – Glamour is about sharing. We must not forget that there is a world that surrounds us. It needs nurturing. How can you share your Glamour with others? Through mentoring, volunteering, giving of yourself without an agenda. It requires making time for others, helping when someone needs assistance, expecting nothing but giving everything. Once you find Your Glamour it is your duty to help another find their own.
Bricks of Glamour – In order to live with Glamour, you must have a strong foundation. Your finances, your health and your career are some of the bricks that give you strength in Glamour. A shaky foundation will eventually topple and you must be the architect of your glamourous life.
Are you ready to begin your journey to Glamour? It will have a few potholes that need to be fixed and some detours but I guarantee in the end you will be richer from it.
LuuLuu’s Glam Squad is busy creating workshops and events designed to draw out Your Glamour. The first step is yours to take.
