When I was in college, I would do my little makeup at any hour of the day. With this quarantine, I was able to have what I call my "golden time." I love playing in the mirror. So this time has allowed me to reconnect, refresh, and create a routine outside of work and the world and everything else that takes me away from me. What is it that makes me feel beautiful? I'll admit I get so busy doing so many things that I sometimes forget about myself. It has given me time to reconnect with what my idea of beauty is. How has this moment of stillness allowed you to reconnect with yourself? What new things have you discovered? I guess I'm trying to find the positives in the day and embracing the time that I have to reconnect with myself and enjoy regular everyday life, whether it be bike riding, working out, sleeping in, taking care of myself, stuff like that. Or I'll be in the tub and read a positive message or inspirational messages to trigger my brain to start the day off positively. Yesterday, I woke up and I saw this coffee mug that said, "Thankful," and I had to stop and think about what am I thankful for today? A simple word like "thankful" allows me to start the day on a positive note, in a positive tone. I'm always looking for those positive affirmations coffee mugs.
What positive affirmations do you find yourself returning each day?

This time around, Olay recruited Hudson and astrobiologist Alyssa Carson, poet Amina Brown, actress Busy Phillips, All Worthy designer Hunter McGrady, Girls Who Code founder Reshema Saujani, and more to spread the messaging with her.īelow, speaks to the multi-hyphenate about positive affirmations, uplifting the women in her life, and how portraying such powerful women maximized her confidence. "You know, when we walk in the room, it's nothing but power." The campaign continues the affordable beauty giant's mission to champion women in any capacity, an offshoot of its 2018 Face Anything movement.
I don't believe in being minimized," Hudson says in the accompanying campaign video.
"I've had a lot of strong women in my life, from my grandmother to my mother and sister. Hudson and I are at the part of our discussion where she's explaining what Olay's newest campaign-Maximize, Don't Minimize Me-and the message about "maximizing" women means to her. Given the tense political climate at the time, you'd be forgiven if you eavesdropped on our conversation and assumed it was related to that. Hudson is speaking with as much passion as her Dreamgirls character Effie telling-er, sangin' to-her lover that, hell or high water, she's staying with him. You can check out the official tracklisting for Jen’s album after the cut.It's a breezy Monday afternoon in October, and I've already got Jennifer Hudson riled up. Crazily enough Robin and Jen release their albums on the same day – Sept 30th. But that said, Robin did the damn thing with this track. Let’s hope she doesn’t catch him in bed with another man because dude looks gay all the way, and this song would be such a waste. I’m taking it the song is in dedication to her future husband ‘Punk’ whom she got engaged to last week. I’m loving the lyrics and she’s sanging her heart out on the track. The song is a hearty piano-laced ballad which was written by Robin Thicke. The track ‘Giving My Self Over To You’ is much better. The sad thing about it is that the R&B midtempo groove isn’t bad at all and had the potential to be a decent song had she collaborated with a REAL singer like Joe or Avant. It’s an actual two-sided duet (at least from the snippet that’s what it sounds like), meaning we have to suffer a bout of severe migraine throughout the whole track. If the vocoder is being used whilst preoccupying somebody else’s song, then I guess it isn’t that bad if you have like one verse in the middle of the song but this isn’t just a feature. When I heard the vocoded runs and addlibbing my ear drums nearly exploded across all corners of the room. Having vocoded vocals on a track that’s suppose to invoke some sort of emotion doesn’t work.

What’s wrong with ‘What’s Wrong’ is that it’s not acceptable for T-Pain to sing a full song in autotune especially when the other collaborator is singing in their normal tone.
