Decent Exposure

Check out this great new program for teenage girls!

I’m happy to help spread the word, especially among my West Coast friends, about an upcoming event being held especially for young ladies. 

Decent Exposure is a program for designed for teenage girls.  On their website, they share the following mission:

“We believe magazines and television pressure girls to conform themselves to unrealistic images of women, teaching girls to mask their true beauty. Inspired by fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn, we realize that true beauty is timeless and transcends trendy fads that may come and go. The formation classes culminate in a fashion show styled by Katelyn Rose of SuddenlyDarling.com.”

It's Not About the Scale

But seeing results helps provide motivation...

Last week, I shared with all of you that I had taken myself back to Weight Watchers as my birthday present to myself.  Those of you who have done WW in the past know that sick feeling that comes from falling “off program” and then having to go back at some point in the future and climb back on that scale.  Once the initial weigh-in is behind you, it becomes easier to focus on the journey ahead.
