Beauty & Brains | rodeoready

Being a cowgirl, beauty may not be my first priority but it is definitely an asset to women. In a world where your appearance is the initial impression of your character, we are held to a high standard. We are told all our lives that first impressions are important, so it's unsurprising that people often judge you before you’ve spoken a word. Now, I want to state that while I acknowledge the emphasis on physical appearance, I don't believe it is exclusively responsible for displaying your true character. In fact, the way someone looks is irrelevant to the way I feel about them. I know a lot of beautiful women, some who are perfectly made up and some who throw their hair up in a pony and go do work without a stitch of makeup. I applaud both kinds.

Beauty is only as important as the brains and soul within the woman.

How a woman carries herself and treats the people and animals around her says much more than how flawless her skin looks.

Beauty is a gift that we all possess! So celebrate it and enjoy it, but never rely on it.

Make it a priority to live your life in such a manner that you feel beautiful because of who you are, not how you look!

I want this page to be a source of inspiration to all women! The ones who love to get dolled up and the ones who love to get dirty! I'm sure there are a lot of us who fall in between and enjoy both!

Come here for videos that will empower you, tips and tricks to encourage you, products that will make you feel fabulous and motivation to be your most beautiful!

Top Fall Trends

There are a lot of fabulous fall looks this year and the season is definitely upon us here in Alberta. Looking out my window I see grey skies and vibrant foliage. The contrast between the bright warm radiance of the leaves to the bleak looking, ominous sky is breathtaking. Being a Virgo, I naturally love the fall. Having a birthday in September and an affinity to the element of Earth, I truly thrive when the days are growing short and nights cool. I love the colors, late fall rides, cozy sweaters, fuzzy fall coats and brisk mornings like nothing else. There is something about a sunset or sunrise in the fall… the way the colors all melt together to create the beautiful warm glow that radiates through to the soul… or perhaps that’s the romanticized manner which has enabled me to endure so many bitter cold winters. Either way, it’s a most welcomed transition between my busy hot summers and the frosty dark days of winter.

The truth is, by the time the leaves change every year, I too am ready to be in transition. Summers in Alberta are fleeting and hectic for most. We don’t get the beautiful weather all year like other areas so I like to believe that we make the most of it! By the time autumn rolls in, we’re happy to see the days grow shorter. The truth is, we are all burnt out by the time the leaves lose their vibrancy and begin to wither and fall.
