And the Oscar goes too...

I hate to admit but maybe you will agree, 

I tend to expect some drop dead gorgeous gowns from the nominees.

Yet, I have been seeing the best of the best, on presenters!

This year there were statements to be made on the red carpet. 

One particular trend was undeniable...

 COLOR!

Beauty, uniqueness and style in all forms but color speaks and we all listened!

Like the princessy yellow on Alicia,

the sleek silk and sequined emerald on Rachel & Saoirse, 

the iridescent purple on Naomi, the beautiful belted blue (cobalt) on Brie, 

the sea foam and floral appliqués on Cate, 

the mod, sexy with hints of lace, cutouts mixed in the black numbers of 

Julianne, Kate, Jen & J-Law.

All the ladies of the red carpet brought it this year, 

but one lady in particular SLAYED!

And you know my feelings on this color sometimes. 

But this time, it is just outstanding...

The Oscar for my BEST of All the Categories

( Dress, Look, Hair, Jewels )

RELAX

For what it's worth...
I've been a believer and a participant in wellness and good vibes
 loooonnnggg before I started bringing it to the blog on Wednesdays.

But last week my #WellnessWednesday things just went very umm,
NOT WELL!
I had a few tough days, personally AND professionally.
Naturally, I was super down on myself and stressed out about it.

It's that "when it rains it pours" kind of thing however...
I'm in a hurricane!
Yet we can see the shining sun off the horizon
and thank god for the water
because we forgot there had been a draught...

(ever been there, no? just me!?)

I am FULLY aware of it 

and 

I'm aware that it's all fixable and everything works out.

 Always!

It's just tough for us as ladies to admit
defeat or disappointment
because to be honest sometimes it means that we failed.

With plans and intentions their is life and it happens when you least expect it.

The last thing I expected was that I would need to relax.
Somethings I rarely do.

Something I didn't even realize I needed so badly.

Defeated and humbled and taking a break.
Off to relax, find a quiet spot and coming back with a clear mind!
