Dear Poll: Do You Follow Trends?
With a new season comes new trends. If you're a magazine junky like me, it's pretty hard to avoid reading about the new it bag or the trendy new color that'll be hot for the season. While I like to think I have my own unique style, it's inevitable that I pick up a few new habits every season, however some people take trendy to a whole different level.
Are You Into Tattoos?
Tattoos hurt and they're permanent, and these are two very good reasons that I don't have any - but that's not to say that I don't appreciate them! I totally respect the fact that they often represent an idea, a person, a memory, a place, a special date, or are just an artistic design a person has a connection with or loves.
The fact still remains that I am a huge wimp when it comes to pain and needles -- I can't even deal with one shot of Novocaine -- so I'm sure I would go absolutely ballistic if I got a tattoo.
What Family Values Will You Pass On?
As a child, it's your parents' job to teach you values -- all the things that shape you into a strong, confident person so you have the tools to make the right decisions.
Some examples of general values are:
- Individuality: Being confident about yourself
- Integrity and Responsibility: Doing the right thing
- Compassion: Helping others
- Tolerance and Respect: Accepting other people's differences
- Honesty: Being truthful to others and to yourself
- Courage: To try new things and take risks
- Generosity: Sharing and Giving to others
- Faith: This could be religious, but it doesn't have to be
Wise Guide: one size does not fit all
The shoe that fits one person pinches another; there is no recipe for living that suits all cases. ~ Carl Jung
Are you able to allow others their own recipe for living? Do you feel free enough to live by your own?
Ellen & the Cover of W Magazine
We recently posted a You Don't Need Permission To about looking like yourself instead of everyone else, and your comments well and truly rocked.
Check out Ellen in this month's W Magazine if you haven't already; she's on the cover and is featured in a 6-page spread. I don't think she looks at all like the Ellen we know and adore.
