Type 2 Handbags and Watch

I love Dressing Your Truth. 

These handbags fit my Type 2 style.

The dark gray bag is from Ross.  

The other two were from the Dressing Your Truth Store.

Decorating with "Dressing Your Truth"

In Carol Tuttle's Energy Profiling system I am a Type 2, and I have a natural preference for decorating with curves and flowing lines. 

Here is a quick overview of each Type:

Type 1: The bright, animated person who has a gift for new ideas and possibilities. The Type 1 expression is naturally upward, light, and upbeat. 

Type 2: The soft and calming person who has a gift for gathering details and making plans. The natural movement of Type 2 is fluid and flowing.

Type 3: The swift and dynamic person who has a gift for moving into action quickly to create practical results. The natural movement of Type 3 is active and reactive.

Type 4: The structured and exact person who has a gift for looking at the world through a critical eye and perfecting it. The natural movement of a Type 4 person is constant and precise.

My bed's headboard and footboard show my preference for Type 2 curves.

Do you decorate like a Type 2?

Earring and Necklace Organizer

I made this earring and necklace holder using a poster frame that I already had.  Normally I hang it vertically, but I turned it on it's side so I would have more room to add all the jewelry organizers.  I bought some "As Seen On TV" plastic necklace and earring holders for $5 at CVS pharmacy.  I attached them to the frame with sticky tape.  I had to securely attach it to the wall because all the necklaces are HEAVY. :)

I like the ability to see all my jewelry at once and I can always switch out the pictures later.

"The Child Whisperer" Parenting Book

You love your children, but do they ever make you frustrated?     

I recently read a frustration-ending book called, The Child Whisperer by Carol Tuttle.  I've been so inspired by this new parenting book that I want to let everyone with kids know all about it.

Our children give us clues and messages all the time that tell us exactly how to avoid the struggle with them. Most parents don't know how to decode these messages, and end up even more frustrated!     

The Child Whisperer teaches how to read the hidden messages your children send you every day.     

This book's eye-opening tips and techniques will help make the parent-child struggle disappear forever. I strongly recommend you check it out and learn what your child has been trying to tell you all along.

Carol Tuttle releases her new book on Tuesday the 23rd. Carol is offering $317 in bonuses when you order your copy before Friday, Oct 26th.

Me at 2 1/2 years

I was a Sensitive Child and I am still that way.  I was shy and very attached to my mother.  I am the oldest of six kids and I was traumatized every time my mom had another baby because she would be go to the hospital for 3 days.  They wouldn't let siblings in the hospital back then, but I remember my grandparents taking me to the window of my mom's hospital room so I could see her.  She would put her hand up to the window and I would put mine up to match hers. I would cry because I missed her so much.

Curly Girl Program Review and Results

Here's a photo of my hair.

I bought the book "Curly Girl" by Lorraine Massey and I've been using her sulfate-free DevaCurl products (DevaCurl No-Poo Shampoo and Low-Poo Shampoo,  DevaCurl One Condition, DevaCare Arc AnGEL (gel), or DevaCurl Frizz-Free Volumizing Foam and DevaCurl Set it Free).  You can buy a combo trial pack with all of the products HERE.

Moisture is the KEY! My curls are so much better defined since I've started using her methods and products because they keep moisture in and frizzy hair stays away.  

"Curly Girl" helps you discover your type of curl, from wavy to zigzag, and comes with a DVD that shows you what to do for each type of curl.  The book will tell you how to use small metal hair clips to hold your curls in place and give volume too (here's a video tutorial). 

I knew it was working after I tried the method and products because I received more compliments about my curls in one week than I had in a year.

A GREAT haircut will set your curls FREE!  My hair is layered and cut in a special way that works especially for curls. I went to a hairstylist who is DevaCurl trained to give haircuts like they recommend in Curly Girl. 

My hairstylist has some great photos of curly hair on her website here. You can find a DevaCurl trained stylist here.

It takes me about 10 minutes to wash, condition and put gel in my hair like they recommend in Curly Girl.  I leave in most of the conditioner and I use a lot of gel.  Then I put in small metal hair clips around the front to set the curls in place and give lift while it dries.

Sometimes I gently twist up larger parts on the sides and back and hold them with large plastic clips. After that, I spray it with "Set it Free."  Depending on how much time I have, I either let it air-dry, or I blow-dry with a diffuser on a lower setting so it doesn't disturb the curls.  

Use the Pixie-Curl method to blow dry your hair without frizz.  Here's a video.

I also do what the book says in not washing my hair every day.  It's too drying.  I wash it about every 3 days.  At night I twist and hold my curls with clips in front , then I tip my head over and put it up in a loose pony tail on top of my head with a soft scrunchie.  

To really keep frizz away I wear a silk nightcap.  On the days I don't wash my hair I wear a shower-cap so the moisture from the shower doesn't cause frizz.

Read this blog for a wonderful overview of the Curly Girl program and why you want to use no sulfate or silicones on your hair here.

Here is another blog post from a woman who wrote about her experience trying the "Curly Girl" method and the products she uses here.

What Type are the Republican Presidential Nominees?

Using Energy Profiling you can look at someone and assess their body language and facial features to understand their nature, personality, and behavior.  You can learn the Energy Profiling System in the book It's Just My Nature.  (Read my book review here.)
Energy Profiling is a simple system that categorizes people into one of four groups: Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, and Type 4. 

Here is a quick overview of each Type:

Type 1: The bright, animated person who has a gift for new ideas and possibilities. The Type 1 expression is naturally upward, light, and upbeat. 

Type 2: The soft and calming person who has a gift for gathering details and making plans. The natural movement of Type 2 is fluid and flowing.

Type 3: The swift and dynamic person who has a gift for moving into action quickly to create practical results. The natural movement of Type 3 is active and reactive.

Type 4: The structured and exact person who has a gift for looking at the world through a critical eye and perfecting it. The natural movement of a Type 4 person is constant and precise.


This is a great video that identifies the Energy Types of 7 the Republican candidates:

• Ron Paul
• Michele Bachmann
• Herman Cain
• Mitt Romney
• Jon Huntsman
• Newt Gingrich
• Rick Santorum

Family Photos "Dressing Our Truth"

Some FUN Family Photos we had taken in 2009. 

This is one of our first family photos where I didn't try to color-coordinate our outfits.  I took the "Dressing Your Truth" course in the summer of 2009 and I knew that we would look best in the colors that match our "Energy Type."   As a Type 2, I dress in tones.   My daughter, Sydney, is Type 1-- she looks best in bright tints.  My husband is Type 4, and looks the best in pure colors.   At that time I wasn't sure what Type my son, Ryan, was.  Since then I've figured out he's a Type 4, like my husband.   

Marcus and I

We couldn't get Ryan to give a "natural" smile so Marc thought he'd help him out by tickling his ear.

And it worked!

One of My Favorite Books! "It's Just My Nature!"

"It's Just My Nature," by Carol Tuttle has been invaluable to me as a wife and mother.  I love this book because it's helped me create better relationships with my family. 

By understanding myself and those around me I can appreciate our strengths and weaknesses instead of harshly judging them.   

I am now able to honor and encourage my loved one's innate talents and gifts--instead of pushing them to become who I think they should be. 

Me, Type 2; Marc, Type 4; Syd, Type 1; Ryan, Type 4

"It's Just My Nature," uses Energy Profiling --- a new and unique profiling system that extends far beyond personality profiling.  

Energy Profiling brings a new level of accuracy by analyzing body language, physical features, thought and feeling processes, gifts, and talents, in addition to personality behaviors.

There are FOUR different Energy Types.  

Type 1: The bright, animated person who has a gift for new ideas and possibilities. The Type 1 expression is naturally upward, light, and upbeat. 

Type 2: The soft and calming person who has a gift for gathering details and making plans. The natural movement of Type 2 is fluid and flowing.

Type 3: The swift and dynamic person who has a gift for moving into action quickly to create practical results. The natural movement of Type 3 is active and reactive.

Type 4: The structured and exact person who has a gift for looking at the world through a critical eye and perfecting it. The natural movement of a Type 4 person is constant and precise.

I'm a Type 2--fluid, flowing, calming and finding out details are my main concern. 

My daughter is a Type 1--upward, light, random, upbeat and full of ideas. 

My husband and son are Type 4s-- constant, still, precise, exact, and structured. They have a natural gift to step back and see the bigger picture and how to perfect it. 

Type 3 people are dynamic. They "Do" things.  They are the ones that push themselves and others toward action to get results.  

This information can be applied in so many ways...relationships, careers, clothes, decorating, etc.  It's also a TON of fun to learn!
