An Attitude of Gratitude
keeping with this month’s theme our favourite mantras “always have an attitude of gratitude”.
So in keeping with this month’s theme we wanted to start our column with one of our favourite mantras “always have an attitude of gratitude”. We’re glass half full kinda gals and always try to have a positive outlook on life, even in the toughest times (like when you’re entire warehouse burns to the ground and you lose everything overnight – yup that happened) and part of that attitude is being grateful for everything we’ve achieved. We’re huge believers in the power of positive thinking and whenever something good happens to us we always take a moment to “thank the Universe” – something our mum always encourages us to do. Giving thanks means being observant of all the good in your life and it also means being open to receiving more abundance. Some of our favourite books on the power of positive thinking are “The Secret” and “Good Vibes, Good Life” we promise they’ll give you a new perspective.
Another great way of expressing gratitude is by goal setting and journaling to reflect on the present and plan for the future. Start by simply writing down three things each day that you’re grateful for and three things you’d like to achieve, then look back on them and have them in your sights until you hit that goal. It's important to remember that 'goals' and 'achievements' don't always have to be big. Something as simple as going for a walk and making time to get a coffee with friends is something we aspire to a lot of the time particularly when we're really busy, it makes us remember it's the little things in life that bring us the most joy.
We recently launched a new collection that is quite literally makeup brushes in sunshine form and just looking at them fills us with positivity and also gratitude that we’re fortunate enough to work with Disney. The Winnie the Pooh Collection went completely viral for us on social media and we have a feeling it’s down to the pure joy and feelings of nostalgia that come from the characters. As well as being super cute, Piglet is also a big advocate of gratitude so we’ll be taking more inspiration from him for our own daily routines - “he noticed that even though he had a very small heart, it could hold a rather large amount of gratitude”. So we’ll leave you with Piglet’s wise words and encourage you to take a moment for yourself each day to reflect and say a little “thank you”.
