Feeling Beautiful

There is looking beautiful and then there is actually feeling beautiful.

Two entirely different things and feelings!

I  felt beautiful tonight and it showed. I put more effort into dancing and had more for fun, which in turn paid off literally. My night started out seeing a regular from an old club. He told me I looked happier and healthier, an amazing compliment! I have recently put an effort into getting more health conscious (perhaps to extreme) and it is paying off.

However, what really made me happy today was that I took the time to make myself feel beautiful. I took time to go get my nails done and tan, even though I knew it meant less sleep. Two hours less sleep is a big deal, especially when I work. Dancing is a workout, not many can do while looking beautiful at the same time. Ignoring all the pain, war paint, and rude customers is a very tall order in itself. Some nights it feels impossible. Yet, we do it with a smile.

Far from an easy job!

When a dancer takes the time to make herself feel beautiful, on the inside and outside, it shines through!
