On Being a Bombshell…
Author: Gigi05.26.2010
Hello Bombshell!
Recently I was asked to be a guest blogger for Diana Dorell, an intuitive counselor, healer and fabulous Bombshell! Her focus was about beauty and femininity and I was honored to be featured in her May newsletter. Here is part of my post that I think you’ll find interesting!
I believe being a Bombshell is so much more than outer beauty. However…working on outer beauty is a pivotal place to start changing the mindset that many women have that you can’t have brains AND beauty.
In my work as a Bombshell coach, I find that women are THRILLED to have me call them Bombshell! Most women are hungry to be acknowledged for their inner AND outer beauty. In a rare instance, she might share that she used to be offended when someone wanted to compliment her on her looks and not her brains. Usually when a woman is offended by compliments of that nature, she has become uncomfortable with her femininity and feels like it takes away from her “power”. Quite the opposite is true! When a woman fully embraces her TRUE femininity, there is no more powerful force in the universe.
So how does she do that? How does one go from ignoring her femininity to embracing it and making it an even truer part of who she is?
1. DECIDE. Yes, decide to be a Bombshell. Make the choice that from this day forward, beauty will become a part of everyday life.
2. The mirror exercise: Every day of your life look closely in your mirror (close as in about 3-5 inches from your face looking deeply into your own eyes) and say “I am a BOMBSHELL.” And then smile from ear to ear! That tells your brain that you believe it to be true and the neurons that support that thought will work overtime to make it so.
3. Smell like Heaven. Find a signature fragrance that makes you feel wonderful every time you put it on. And put it on every day! On those days when you won’t be seeing anyone but yourself, still wear your signature fragrance. This is a great reminder of what a Bombshell you are!
4. Get fully dressed for YOU. That doesn’t mean you must wear a beaded gown to pick up groceries. It means that when you feel great about how you look, when you run into that old boyfriend it’s not baggy sweats and apologies for not taking care of YOU.
5. Flowers! Yes. A Bombshell loves having colorful beautiful flowers where she spends the most time. Doesn’t have to be costly…just beautiful!
More women than ever realize the power of their beauty. The time is now Bombshell! XOXO Gigi Belmonico

I love it, Gigi!
I clearly appreciate the value of #1. Saying we are going to do something is very different from DECIDING to do it. Action moves us closer to our desires. And, #5 is why I have a very large flower garden with three ponds in my back yard.
You and Diana were a phenomenal team on her show.
