RubyLove was featured not long ago on CBS’s “Lisa’s It List” with the lovely host Lisa Joyner. And this past weekend, I ran into Lisa and her newly wed husband Jon Cryer, star of the hit show “Two and a half men” in Los Angeles. If you haven’t seen the clip, here it is. (PLAY CLIP)

According to an article from About.com, smiling not only makes you more attractive, it’s also great for our immune system. Studies have shown that smiling releases endorphins, natural pain killers, and serotonin. And the muscles we use to smile works as a face lift too!

So show off those pearly whites and feel great!

Finding Strength

Everything happens for a reason. We say that a lot, but sometimes the “reason” is not clear to us until a later time. We can only face whatever is happening that causes us pain, anger, or frustration the best we can, with what we know now.

Recently I experienced a loss that caught me by surprise, a loss that I wasn’t sure if I’d ever recover from. For a day or two, I just allowed myself to let things sink in. I cried. I questioned why things turned out the way they did. I knew there was nothing I could do to change the situation, except to find the strength to move forward. And hope with time, the sadness will be lifted.

My family and friends were my support group. Their words of encouragement was comforting, but it was still up to me to see the situation from a different light. I took some time to find those positives, I believed that everything does happen for a reason. I believed that in time, those reasons will present themselves, and my sadness and pain will eventually go away. And before I knew it, just as the loss that caught me by surprise, the reasons appeared.

I felt a surge of strength from my heart, and the weight lifted off my shoulders. I understood as bad as I felt days before, I now have found the strength in me to move on. It’ll take some time for me to feel like my old self again, but then…I am not the same anymore, I am stronger.

The memories of my loss will always be there, but I will see it from a different, more positive perspective…one that has changed me forever.

She takes the time to slow down and breathe when life gets stressful or overwhelming.

Enter to Win TODAY!

Hey Ladies! Today, 10 lucky people will become the winners of a Love Yourself Reflection-Tee when you enter the Daily Freebie Sweepsstakes at Seventeen.com/freebies! (Enter Freebie Word Of The Day “LOVE”)

This Reflection-tee is one of our top sellers because every once in a while we all need a reminder to love ourselves. I love myself by eating healthy everyday, adding lots of fruits (blueberries are my favorite and they are full of antioxidant!), lots of veggies and whole wheat, to my diet. I love myself by doing yoga at least 3 times a week. And most importantly, I love myself by surrounding my life with people I love and care about, who are there to support me when I need them, to share my joy, and for me to do the same for them.

How do you love yourself? I’d love to hear your comments.

Good luck with your entries!
