Summer Pep Talk

Jul 6, 2018

Hey gorgeous!

It’s been a weird summer so far and I wanted to share something I have struggled with.

I’ve struggled a bit with balance.

As you may have gathered if you’ve been reading my emails or follow me on Instagram, I have big pie in the sky dreams. I have a lot I want to share with the world.

But I’m also a mom and a wife and it’s summer time, and sometimes I feel pulled in so many directions. Sometimes I feel like I can’t even think.

I know I’m not the only woman who has ever felt this way. Have you ever felt it too?

Maybe it looks different for you, but finding balance as a woman is pretty universal.

The other day, I was re-watching a Brene Brown tedx talk and she was discussing shame.

Shame for a woman: “do it all, do it perfectly, and never let them see you sweat. Shame for women is a web of unattainable conflicting expectations about who we’re supposed to be”

WOAH! That hit me straight where I live. That’s why we struggle with balance! We constantly feel the pressure to do everything perfectly. Guess what? Perfection doesn’t exist and as Brene Brown says “its a straight jacket”. I don’t really think “balance” exists either. I just think there are seasons and we can learn to appreciate them all.

So my “work” this summer has been to let go of who the world thinks I should be, and even who I think I NEED to be, relax a little and realize I have enough time to get it all done.

In fact that’s been my mantra most days “I have enough time to get it all done”.

The other thing that it took me a minute to remember is that I only get a few summers with my son, and I fully intend on enjoying them and not ruining them with anxiety and stress about the future.

So, just in case you’re feeling any of the same things I was, I want to remind you that, you are exactly where you need to be right now. Just have faith that the future will unfold perfectly.

Take a deep breath, relax a little and enjoy the journey.

Self Love Lessons Video 1

Apr 4, 2018

Growing up I struggled with low self-esteem, low self-worth and zero confidence.

In a brand new video series called “Self-Love Lessons”, I am exploring the lessons I’ve learned and showing you how they can apply to your life also.

In the video above, I take you on a journey back to my early child hood and the one thing I can trace my “not good enough” feelings back to.

What I have discovered is that almost every one struggles with low self-esteem, low self-worth or low confidence. In one form or another we all struggle with “not good enough feelings” and these are all the qualities I’m talking about when I’m talking about “self-love”.

If you’re really honest with your self though, then there is most likely a place in your life where you struggle with “not good enough” feelings too.

You know how I know that… You’re alive and you’re a human woman.

Since confidence was missing in my life for a long time, and realized how much it was holding me back, I dedicated my life to figuring out what causes a lack of confidence and how to find more of it.

For the past three years I have studied this topic endlessly. I have read every book, I could get my hands on, taken every course I could find and guess what…it all comes down to self-worth and self-love. You can’t have true confidence without it.

Self-love effects everything from how we feel about our bodies and our appearance, the partners we choose and how we let others treat us, to our success and the money we make.

Self-love (or the lack of it) touches EVERY part of your life whether you realize it or not.

After all my research and implementing different tools and techniques to see what works and what doesn’t I figured a few things out when it comes to creating more confidence and self love and my business grew and I was able to take bold actions I had been too afraid to take before.

I don’t want it to take you as long as it has taken me so, I have taken all that knowledge and boiled it down it into bite sized chunks (put my own spin on it of course) and I’m laying it out for you to take and easily implement into your own life over the next 21 days.

If you are ready to be the best version of yourself and actually create the life of your dreams, then 21 Days to Self love is literally going to give you the roadmap.

Here’s how to know if you would benefit from a dose of Self-Love
(other than just being alive):

✔ You feel overwhelmed or anxious a lot

✔ You feel guilty for putting yourself first so you end up putting yourself last

✔You get stuck in self doubt and fear

✔You let your appearance or weight hold you back

✔You spend way too much time comparing yourself to others

✔You aren’t currently enjoying “the messy middle” aka “the journey” aka your life

Here’s how the next 21 days can help (what you’ll learn):

➕ How to rewire your brain to be more positive in all areas of your life

➕ Why self love and confidence is so powerful and how to cultivate and create more of it naturally (it is just a learned skill)!

➕ Why “self care” is essential, what it really means (it’s not just bubble baths) and how to create more of it in your life no matter how busy you are!

➕ How to add more fun to your life and become the happiest version of yourself

➕ Redefine failure and learn how to make fear irrelevant

➕ Create and implement powerful routines, habits and rituals to create an amazing life you are excited to wake up to every day.

There is so much jam packed into these 21 days that it is worth over $200, but it is priced at only $21 because I don’t want ANYTHING to hold you back from living life as the best version of you.

A Practical Guide to Self Love

Mar 23, 2018

I got a text the other day from a woman who I was doing a private makeup lesson with and this is what it said:

📱 “I’m sorry that anyone will see how ugly I really am without any makeup on.

I’m sure they will be thinking cover up those dark circles, and the double chin and the big nose and all the new wrinkles OMG…”

Excuse my language but WTF?

I think I actually felt my heart break a little as I read that.

Where does this come from?

Why are we so MEAN to ourselves?

Have you ever had thought’s like that? If you’re a woman alive right now in our society I am going to bet the answer is yes.

I want to ask you something else:

Have you thought about how that spills over into EVERY AREA of your life?

I have. I’ve seen it first hand and it cannot be allowed to continue!!

Nope. Not on my watch.

A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that I had some new things centered more around self love coming…

Well, after I got that email I knew it was time…

Introducing:

The reason that I created the 21 Days of Self Love is because:

1.) I know what it’s like to struggle to love and accept yourself, to settle for crappy relationships, and live a life you don’t love…

2.) As I have focused on cultivating more self love I have seen my entire life change.

I believe that we are all on this planet for a reason and we all have special gifts to share and also lessons to learn.

One of my special gifts is that I am a teacher. I looove to learn and I have a gift of breaking down what I learn and turning it in to more digestible bite sized chunks to share.

On the other hand, one of the lessons I believe I am here to learn is how to love myself.

I spent a lot of years NOT loving myself, telling myself similar things to that text above, and I will ALWAYS be working on this. It is a practice after all.

The content inside this 21 days are some of the exact things I have used to completely upgrade my self-love, confidence and worthiness to a whole new level, and I want to share that with you.

As you may know, I have been working in the beauty industry for the past 10 years, and over the last decade I have worked with a lot of AMAZING women.

The problem is, just like the woman above, most of them don’t know they are amazing.

Almost every day I hear women say things like that text, and it truly breaks my heart. I am on a mission to change that, one woman at a time.

So let’s talk about what self love actually is:

Self-love is all about appreciating your own uniqueness.

It’s about being kind to yourself, it’s about letting go of comparing yourself to the highlight reel of social media, and realizing you are perfect just as you are, even with your flaws.

It’s about making the time and space in your life to really take care of yourself. It’s about making YOU a priority.

And most importantly it is about not questioning your own self-worth.

Imagine feeling confident, beautiful and truly happy in your everyday life, and having the tools to get back on track when you don’t.

Self love might seem like this abstract concept, but this 21 days is designed to give you practical action steps to take to make it a very real practice, that focuses on being the best version of you and living your best life.

21 Days Of Self Love is about defining what self love means to you and learning how to incorporate it daily so that it can fit inside of YOUR lifestyle.

You, my darling friend, are a diamond in the rough. If you’re ready to uncover and polish the diamond within, then THIS is for you! 💎

The price of 21 Days Of Self Love is normally going to be $88, but since this is something that is so near and dear to my heart and I want as many women to do this as possible I am starting with this LAUNCH price of only $21!! That’s just a dollar a day.

💕Here is how to you will know if this is for you 💕:

🚫Are you tired of putting yourself last and being stuck in overwhelm?

🚫Are you sick of constantly comparing yourself to other women?

🚫Is negative self-talk a part of your daily life?

🚫Do you feel like you can’t live up to unrealistic expectations?

🚫Are you sick of not feeling supported and feeling like the world is on your shoulders?

💕Are you ready to finally feel empowered to be the best version of you?

💕Are you ready to make comparison, negative self talk and low self-esteem a thing of the past?

💕What if you could make self care a regular part of each day no matter how busy you are?

💕Imagine if you could finally feel the self-love and worthiness everyone keeps talking about and become the most confident version of you!

I am here to help you on your self love journey! I truly hope you will join us on this adventure:

Big Changes

Feb 28, 2018

I feel like I need to get something off my chest. I am currently undergoing some changes over here at Sara Drury Local Looks.

In fact I’m even considering dropping the “Local Looks” part of my business name. What do you think?

Let me explain…

I still love makeup and “beauty” but I’m being pulled into something bigger.

I want to help more people and to help on a larger scale, in a more meaningful way.

I talked a little about this on the podcast I mentioned last week.

It’s scary and part of me wants to stay where it’s familiar and “safe” but the bigger part of me knows that’s not an option.

In case you’re wondering what this looks like:

I have been on a crazy journey over the last three years and I have learned some hard won lessons that I want to share.

I say the last three years because I have done a lot of “internal work” over that time but honestly my whole life has been a pretty crazy ride.

In March I am going to start a video series called “Self Love Lessons” along with a brand new email course “21 Days to Self Love” .

I want to talk more about why I think self love and acceptance are the key to living a fulfilled life and share through my life and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

Through the video series I will be sharing parts of my story that I really haven’t shared before. And I am honestly sick to my stomach about the thought of sharing some of it publicly.

I think stories help us connect and if even one person hears my story and realizes that they can come from nothing and create a life they love if they bet on themselves and give themselves a chance then it will be worth it.

It isn’t makeup tips but it’s what has changed my life and I want to share that.

I may say somethings that you don’t agree with, I will expose parts of myself that you may not like, and if this isn’t for you then I completely understand, but I am on a mission to change lives (including my own) and I hope you’ll continue this journey with me.

You in? Reply below and let me know.

Be Your Own Valentine

Feb 14, 2018

No Valentine? Be your own Valentine on Valentine's Day! Happy 💕Valentines Day💕, my gorgeous friend! This year, put a little twist on this day of love and be your own valentine!

One lesson I’ve learned over the years is that it is not someone else’s job to fulfill your needs. That is YOUR job.

Here are 4 ways to Be Your Own Valentine:

Treat yo self! Buy yourself flowers and chocolate, or something else that you’ve been wanting. Maybe it’s a new lipstick or foundation, or maybe it’s a new book! Don’t wait for someone to buy you what you want it’s ok to make an investment in you!
Ask for support in the areas where you need it. You do not have to juggle everything on your own, but you do have to speak up. So tell other people what you need.
Show love to a stranger, or your your kids, or your mom. Ask yourself “How can I be of service today? Who can I surprise? Who needs a word of encouragement? How can I show love to other people today?” Isn’t it amazing how good it makes us feel when we help others out?
Make a list of 5 FUN things you’d like to do in the near future and then go out and do them! Think about what makes you feel happy, and then commit to do it beyond just today. Life is just too short to get caught up in the “should’s”. What do you actually want to do, and what makes you feel good? Make time for those things!

Just remember to show love to yourself! Just ask yourself what YOU need, and then give it to yourself.

If you need a little help getting started check out the 21 Days of Self Love. You are your longest relationship you will ever have, so make it a great one!
