So yesterday after got home, I went to the health food store to get some Green tea and to find something to boost my energy. I asked the guy that was working there could he recommend something. He looked at me and said "you look extremely tired" I'm thinking to myself wow... Does it show that much? He said " I'm not trying to cause any offense you just look like your mind is everywhere and you haven't had much sleep" I said to myself yeah it's showing and that's not good. He asked me what I do for a living and I told him a lot... Then I went into detail of what typical day is like in my life. He recommended these all natural vitamins and agreed that the green tea would be good with the vitamins. He then pulled out a piece of paper and said I should challenge myself to a makeover... Hmmm my original thoughts was yeah I can go for a new hairstyle, maybe some MAC and I'm long overdue for a new pair of shoes...lol. I took the paper and sat in my car and begin to read and this makeover was nothing like I had in mind. This was a 30 day Spiritual, Physical, Mental and Social Makeover, something that exceeds the vanity of a makeover... I really wanted to share this because I think a lot of people can benefit from this challenge.
