Hola Pink Ladies! So, yesterday, I was shopping in town and a gorgeous girl came up to me to tell me how nice my shoes were - they are pretty - I also got told I looked like Cleopatra and that I had a pretty flower in my hair - I was like a walking-talking compliment collecting machine!
As you know, like Lola I collect compliments in a jar for those icky, not-nice days when I feel glumsville personified. They’re the perfect pick-me-up and a compliment will always make you stand taller, smile and feel good about yourself - what’s not to love about that? Which is why I want to encourage you gorgeous girls to become Compliment-giving girls o’ fabulousness!
How to give a compliment…
1. Don’t be fake - don’t say something you don’t mean, as it’ll just sound flaky and false.
2. Telling someone how great they look is a great way to spread the love - has your gal-pal got a bag you love? Tell her! Does your bro look better when he’s combed his hair? Tell him! Has your mumma started wearing a new eyeshado that brings out the colour in her eyes? Tell her!
3. Don’t feel you have to justify the comment - a compliment shouldn’t be given in return for another, nor should it mean you’re creeping or that you want something. Sometimes the best compliments are given in passing. Like the lady who said I had great shoes yesterday, she was literally passing me in the street, I didn’t even have time to say thank you, although I did shout it after her…There was no doubt it made me walk taller for the rest of the day!
4. Keep it simple. Send love through your eyes and your voice and imagine your lil’ gesture of goodness is like a bunch o’ blooming flowers.
Are you in?! I wanna hear about it!
