I think we all know how easy it is to fall into a rut and be consistently down on ourselves. But, if you can't be your own cheerleader, who else is going to care enough to do it? (Besides Mommies, of course!) Anyways - that is one great thing about my daily Dove Dark Chocolate - I get at least one awesome compliment a day.<br /><br />I think my list would definitely start out with: I am an amazing cook. And I have great hair.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717485156533712922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-928598130851835729.post-51729137919547284722014-01-14T18:45:08.060-05:002014-01-14T18:45:08.060-05:00LOVED!

I feel like I am always working against my natural instincts when I say "thank you" instead of something negative. That's how deeply-ingrained it is in all of us, I suppose. <br /><br />And thanks for the Twitter love too! I just checked out your blog and I'm excited to follow more of your adventures.

I loved watching Tina & Amy host ( and was SO ecstatic that Amy won for Parks) so I'm going to go look at your twitter :P I am kind of known for being "vain" in a joking way because I am one of the only people in my ~social group~ that openly acknowledges when I look good & I take shameless selfies, etc. I think they joke about it because they are so shocked but like, why should it be shocking that I find myself good looking most days?!
