The Christine Report

How do you feel today? Part of your answer could describe your state of mental health. Mental Health. No…not the big stuff. Let’s leave that to the true professionals.

You practice-we all practice our own version of mental health every day. It’s called coping. It’s how we get through the day. How we feel some sense of confidence and accomplishment. We read and do things to keep up the psyche. That all happens INTERNALLY. So what about EXTERNALLY? Just last week, we learned that Simone Biles says keeping a ‘Worry Journal’ helps her.

Externally. This influence on our mental health has a lot to do with how we feel about the way we look. I know this is true. Check this study — The British Academy of Dermatology says 29% of the population feels they won’t find love because of the way the look. Many studies prove the impacts skin issues has on people!

Lost productivity every year stems from lost work and opportunities passed because someone felt too bad about the way they look. Study from the American Academy of Dermatology.

Something happened to me, that totally reinforces this discussion. It’s anecdotal. Its personal, but it is also so very real. It shows just how true this is on a one-to-one and very-human-level. 

One of my very talented makeup artist influencers shared a photo of a before and after makeup look of one of her clients. She sent it via Instagram on a DM. Not unusual. I start working very early, but even at 6am this morning, this photo jumped out at me.

What happened this morning shows just how true this all is on a very-human-level.

Then, the backstory flowed in. Ashley had just lost her Dad. She also just had a baby. Huge life events and things had been a bit overwhelming lately. My influencers receive my makeup and skincare product gratis of course. This is what she shared from the make-over: 

“She recently lost her father and had a baby. She has had a rough time lately and yesterday not one tear or drop of sadness due to having a full makeover. Your products allowed me to do that for her for free…I was able to gift her that day of joy.” @muajazmine

Makeup + the People behind it. A moment when makeup is definitely much more than makeup.

Feeling Overwhelmed? Anxiety? You are not alone.

Mettalusso

Metta means Love. + Lusso means Luxury.

Hello LOVERS!

Your latest Love + Luxury Letter is here.

But, first an interesting share on dealing with anxiety from Simone Biles.

Anxiety can come from anywhere. Even top-top athletes that are super experienced on the global stage experience it. Simone Biles shares her method for dealing with it.

A Worry Journal. Have you ever tried Simone’s Anxiety Hack? I have- a long time ago. It did work for me. Was very insightful. Still utilize the journey and the discoveries and the realizations that came from it so long ago.

Now for Mettie + Lunah’s Forever Journey.

We are shopping now. And it’s time to think about shopping for others. Mettie + Lunah were enjoying their country ride, that is until Lunah mentioned shopping. Then anxiety kicked in. Everything seems so expensive right now.

Yeah, me too. It was such a chore. I dreaded it. Really. And, it felt like I had to use so many different products to get the job done. They say the best products come out of necessity and an entrepreneur trying to solve their own problem. That’s what MISTEEE means to me.

It takes off literally all makeup eyes – face – and even long wear. So you truly only need 1!

MISTEEE makes the nighttime routine so much easier. The spray activation is super cool. Use it as a liquid or gently rub and it activates the micro-foam feature.

I also was so tired of red, oily droopy eyes at night and waking up to the crusty version in the morning. MISTEEE is oil free. It’s super gentle and it also has a skin care complex built right in.

You will love this product. Available at Mettalusso. I always have free shipping. Use code ‘love’ for $5 off.

And it all happened at once this week. Britney was freed after 13 years. Paris wrapped up her prenup and engagement in about 1 year and got married. Then, Taylor won her legal battle from the last 9 years.

Interesting how these 3 Women With Such Powerhouse Profiles Finally Persevered. Each in their own way. Each with different stories.

There is an INSPIRING lesson here. Are you trying to get something you want and deserve?

Stick with it! Patience. Perseverance.

Yes. There is a difference between these two. It’s way more than just semantics.

A difference between skin CARE and skin TREATMENT???

Oh Yes! When I create my product- it’s my entire strategy + philosophy

🧬🩺Treatment should be designed to make a change for the good in your skin. You use it totally on it’s own merit and performance. You benefit from the effect going forward.

-VERSUS-

💋Care. I create SKINCARE so that it will power up your makeup- while receiving maximum anti-aging benefits. I always test my skincare formulas – as they work with makeup. If the formula does not create enhanced color cosmetic performance, then it’s no good to me.

👎Too much skincare worn under makeup actually degrades your color cosmetic performance.Seen it over and over again in my career.

This is why my 2 Primers @mettalusso create makeup bonding sensations and are loaded with skincare ingredients.

Mettie + Lunah Ask What Aaron Rodgers Thinks About The Vaxx? 1 – or – 2 – or – 3? Boost or not to Boost? Now for kids. Now a pill. There is a lot of information coming at us. No wonder Mettie has her own interpretation! Luckily, Lunah is there, as always, by her side as a good friend and cousin.

👉We all are aware of the Aaron Rodgers breaking news. As a person of great influence, this has gotten a lot of people’s attention. In conversation, Rodger’s reasoning seems to be equally, if not more important than him catching it. This is the big conversation driver.

💡Is Aaron Rodgers simply voicing what many are thinking? He wishes the witch hunt on each other could end. Has it become a witch hunt? Can we get along with each others’ beliefs – and feel safe together? Interesting questions. Asked at the right time.

UPDATE- appears that the team has bee a little behind in managing the NFL protocols for their players. Fines – modest by pro athlete standards – have been applied.

Join my ‘LOVE Letters’ @mettalusso where we have amazing conversations, lots of fun and incredible products for people + pets.
