WHAT MADE FEBRUARY FABULOUS?

Living life fabulously - looking back at all the fun little happenings during February.

MY FABULOUS FEBRUARY

At the beginning of January I chose my new Word of the Year - which was FABULOUS - and in honour of all things fabulous, I've decided to return to my old habit of looking back over the month that's finished and sharing a few snippets that shone out during those weeks. My moments of "Fabulosity" is how I'm thinking of them.

How lovely that February is an "F" word and ties in so well with Fabulous - so without further ado, here's some of the small Fabulous moments from February.....

STROLLING ALONG LIFE'S PLEASANT PATH

Sometimes we wonder about life's struggles, but ultimately tough times deepen us and bring us to pleasant paths again.

PLEASANT AND PEACEFUL PATHS

When our children were born we chose a bible verse for each of them. For our daughter it was:

Proverbs 3:17 

We chose it for a number of reasons - prompted by the name Erin meaning "peace" and also with a wish for a pleasant and peaceful journey through life for her. I doubt she'd agree that it's all been plain sailing, but I think it's something we'd all wish for our life journey.

LIVING FABULOUSLY IN UNCERTAIN TIMES

I saw a really interesting article recently on a blog post from the Online Counselling College  titled - How to be a Genuine and Fun-Loving Person. As I read through the points they listed, I could definitely see a correlation with how I want to approach the year ahead - living authentically, seeing value in myself, refusing to buy into the negative culture around me, and choosing to approach life with positivity.

So, I've adapted them today into a post about how to live Fabulously in uncertain times and I hope you find them helpful too...

HOW DO YOU DEFINE BEAUTY IN A WORLD FULL OF FILTERS?

It's time to redefine our concept of beauty. To take away the fake filters and to focus on what really makes us lovely.

SELFIES VS REALITY

I bought a new phone last year. I don't buy expensive phones because I don't use them for more than calling, texting, and taking random photos. I'm not on Instagram and I rarely take photos unless we're on holiday or there's an "occasion" to celebrate. 

I like my new phone/camera because it ticks all the boxes and takes much better photos than my old one did. I'm not a selfie taker - they always remind me of the meme of "this is what I think I look like - and what I actually look like"...
