The Bombshell Factor™

Hello Bombshell!!  So you’ve decided that you just might want to be a Bombshell…good for you!!  Today we learn about the COMPLIMENT.  For those of you that give heartfelt compliments to yourself and others everyday–you are already well on your way to Bombshell fabulosity, so read this for review.  To those new to this amazing Bombshell world, WELCOME!!

Okay girlfriend, honesty here.  When is the last time you paid someone a delicious compliment?  I mean a DELICIOUS compliment, not the “Nice outfit Susie”  kind of compliment.  The kind I’m talking about is the kind that makes someone’s day–like “Girlfriend you look FABULOUS today!!” said with a genuine smile that lets your fellow Bombshell know she matters to you.  If you haven’t done that in a while (or ever)…today’s the day! No time like the present to step up your Bombshell!!  Are you groaning because saying a compliment like that “just isn’t you”?  That is quite alright my dear…that is just your fear talking.  That is the old you…the you that couldn’t step out of your uncomfort zone.  The new you is ready to take it on and do it!!   And guess what?  You can even do it scared.  Anything worth doing is worth being scared about.  ANYTHING.  Start today with yourself.  Look right into the mirror and say with enthusiasm “Hello Gorgeous!!”  It’s okay if you don’t feel gorgeous this minute–you are learning a new way of life and it takes lots of practice.  I recommend this mirror exercise to be a part of your everyday routine.  Really.  Trust me–it works.  You will be amazed at the power it gives you to speak kindly to the shell that houses your soul.  

Okay, now you are ready to share your Bombshell fabulosity!  If you must, tell your compliment to a perfect stranger– she won’t know that this is your first attempt at a Bombshell compliment.  And please don’t worry if she doesn’t know how to respond to you…she is dealing with her own fears as well.  Speaking of responses, when a Bombshell RECEIVES a compliment, she smiles a big smile and says “THANK YOU!!”  She doesn’t say “Oh this old thing?” or “No way!! I look awful!!”  We’ve all been there–paid someone a great compliment and her reply just zaps all the juice out of you–definitely not Bombshell.  Remember that giving and RECEIVING a compliment are equal gifts….and a Bombshell knows how to do both.  Some people go weeks, months, YEARS without giving or hearing a single compliment–how sad is that??    One thing about genuine, heartfelt compliments–it fills the giver’s bucket just as full (if not more full) than the receiver’s bucket.  So what’s your plan?  Who are you going to bless with your Bombshell fabulosity TODAY?

When you think of the word ”Bombshell” what image comes to mind?  Is she an overly bleached blonde with a ton of cleavage and wearing a too-tight and too-short skirt?  Think about a woman that is beautiful to look at from afar but when you get closer you notice something.  She is making demands, being unfriendly, cursing, and using poor manners.   When you get close to her you realize her energy is actually quite draining and her beauty is overshadowed by her lack of…lack of everything BUT beauty.  Somehow her beauty diminishes before your very eyes. When she leaves the room, you are disappointed that such beauty is wasted on someone so unappealing. 

Now picture this: An attractive woman enters the room, dressed in clothing that accentuates her shape without being immodest or over the top.  All eyes are on her. Instead of being rude, she is genuinely friendly and gracious to all she comes in contact with. Her warmth and generosity of spirit melts even the most cynical onlooker.  She looks at you and is not only interested in what you are saying, you feel like you are the most important person in the room…because to her, you ARE.  Her outer beauty is only magnified by the energy and inner joy she exudes.  When she leaves the room, all you can think of is WOW.

Which one is the Bombshell?  And which one are YOU?

Well, my darlings,  THAT is the question you must answer for yourself.  Are you going to continue doing what you’re doing, accepting the fact that “You’re just not Bombshell material”?  Or are you ready to embrace your God-given feminine power and inner AND outer beauty?  To not only attract what your heart desires but be a blessing to those you come in contact with on a daily basis?  If you are READY TO BE A BOMBSHELL, read on.  And if you’re not, that’s okay too.  We will welcome you back with open arms when you’re ready….Bombshells are friendly that way!

Bombshell Wisdom for today:   As you read, being a Bombshell is not just about beauty.  Beauty is a component of being a Bombshell, and perhaps the easiest to attain.  Yes, there are women that are naturally drop-dead gorgeous.  But beyond the age of 30 the pool of women that are absolutely stunning without a little help from the cosmetics counter, Image consultant, and tailor are very very few.  EVERY woman benefits from doing things that enhance her beauty….and face it, we ALL feel better when we put our best foot forward aesthetically.  So if the “beauty” part of being a Bombshell is one of the easiest to do, and you haven’t been doing all you can in that area, ask yourself why.  Is it because you’ve been duped into thinking that all good-looking women are born that way and it doesn’t take effort?  Or have you believed that it might take too MUCH effort and you don’t have time nor inclination to spend two hours putting your face on in the morning?  Truth is, every woman that turns heads IS wearing makeup (for better or worse!) and with a little practice, it takes about 10-12 minutes to apply makeup that will help you feel confident about how you look.  Now another important question:  Are YOU worth spending time on?  I believe you are.  And if you are ready to embrace YOU and ready to be a Bombshell, stay tuned.  Your life will never be the same.
