020. Deepening Self-Worth Through Makeup, Hair & Photography in 100 Days with Amanda Ianthe Greene
This is one of the most unique goals I've seen yet for 100 Epic Days! Amanda chose to explore the theme of visibility and self-care through doing her makeup, hair and taking photos of herself daily. This act of non-judgmental time and attention on "self" led to healing, self-discovery and a greater confidence and magnetism in life. So inspiring!!Amanda's website dinklingpublishing.comAmanda on Instagram @drawntolifemediaAmanda's comics @perfectsensecomicsAwaken, Channel & Create https://www.leeannebrennan.com/awaken100 Epic Days https://www.leeannebrennan.com/100...
