The Flawesome Award

October 19, 2018

ANOTHER AWARD, WOOHOOO! I was awarded the Flawesome Award by Alison from littleblogofpositivity.com. She is a lovely busy bee who runs a blog about mental health, positivity, and finding motivation in life. If you haven’t heard of her, then definitely give her a visit!

 

Right before I was about to post this, I was nominated for the same award by another cool blogger, Kat from boozyhousewife.family.blog. She’s a US blogger (like me!) and blogs about lifestyle, knitting, cocktails, and more! Do check her out, I think you’ll like it! 😉

 

Update – November 2018: Colleen from colleendenise.com nominated me for this award as well! Check out her sweet post here and give her a follow if you aren’t already doing so!

 

The Flawesome Award was created by Sophia Ismaa who created this specifically to celebrate our flaws!

Sophia’s description of the award:

“It’s time to celebrate the flaws that make you awesome. How many times do we see an award that celebrates all things bright and shiny and sunny in a person? How often do we forget that our weaknesses can be a strength? Our flaws make us human, our flaws tell us more about who we are, and in turn, we turn those flaws into awesome strengths. In short, our flaws make us #flawesome”.

 

In this award, you write about 3 of your flaws or weaknesses and then turn it into a positive strength. Then you nominate 10 others for the award!

 

 

My 3 Flaws

1. I stress about things a lot!

This is pretty common, right? I often think of the worst case scenario of something I’m about to do or go to, and I start thinking it will really happen. Sometimes I stress about things so much to the point that I give myself major migraines and make myself sick!

I do think stress to a certain degree is very beneficial to life. There’s such a thing as ‘good stress’ after all! It moves me to work hard at something and not be lazy and lackadaisical about everything. I have a certain standard about how I do things and I feel satisfied when it’s achieved. So I guess the real goal here is to tone my stress down a bit so I can enjoy things more and not always feel sick due to stress levels!

 

2. I’m quite shy.

I’m an introvert and I’m one of those wallflowers. Crowds are a little overwhelming to me, and I’d probably just end up hanging out somewhere in the corner alone. I want to talk, introduce myself and make friends, but social anxiety gets in the way! I dislike the feeling of so many pairs of eyes looking at me all at once. I honestly prefer small groups, where the laser beam eyes are less intense… haha.

If I had to think of something positive to come out of this flaw, it would be the ability to seek out other people who feel like they don’t fit in with the crowd or are shy themselves and be the one (or one of the people) to talk to them and help them feel less lonely. If I was talking to the majority, I’d be too busy to see that there may be others out there like me who aren’t talking to anyone as well!

 

3. I have an inferiority complex?

Being shy and socially anxious partly stems from my inferiority complex. I feel like I’m always not good enough and somehow there’s a huge gap, whether it’s social status or financial or knowledge-wise, and it definitely punches my confidence in the gut. I don’t have any sound reasons why I feel this way, but I get that a lot of times just by being around a person for a little while. It doesn’t happen as often as it used to, but it still lingers and occurs every now and then, and it’s annoying!

On the flip side, this has taught me to stay humble and realize that everyone has something that they’ll be better at than me, thus learn to appreciate others more. I really think it’s better this way than to be an arrogant a-hole. I’m also able stay out of drama, which is another plus!

    I love this! Well done for sharing your ‘flaws’, it’s not an easy thing to do. I hope you found it as useful as I did to think about them in a positive light. I like the positives to your shy side most of all, definitely don’t change! (Although maybe do keep working on the stress thing, don’t want you to keep being sick!) Xx

      Thank you again for the nomination Alison! It really helped me to see the good in the bad. We don’t do that enough! I will definitely try other stress coping mechanisms!

    I definitely understand where you’re coming from on these points and I feel like you explained it all so eloquently. Like the kind commenter above says, you are brave to share this with the world and I really appreciate your willingness to be so open.
    Great to see you find all of those hidden positives and take a brighter and more balanced view of your perceived flaws.

    Stay positive, my love! Too much worrying never does anyone any good imho.

      oh thank you dear Hanna! It wasn’t pleasant to think about it initially but when I came around to the positives, I started feeling better! I definitely agree with you, and I truly wish there was an off switch to the worrying and stressing!! Must find better ways to cope!

    Geraldine! I can’t believe I missed this post! But thank you so much for this nomination, I’m so honored! This award is amazing and very encouraging! I’ll be working on the post very soon. Our flaws are pretty similar, I don’t particularly enjoy crowds and it really make me nauseous. 🙁

So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gif So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gift to me ?🤣 I got to try this sakura pink metallic color on my hair and as I expected, the color didn't show up as it showed on the box. I said in the survey I have black hair and still some remnants of blonde in my hair, but not much? Still, somehow I got chosen for this campaign 🤣 it DID however turn my roots a nice reddish brown color? The ends where my hair was blonde are purplish pink. I really wish I was back to full blonde so I could try this out! It would look soo pretty. Regardless, even though it didn't work as I suspected, I still appreciate the color tinting 🤭💖 TLDR: it works! But you need fairly light hair for it to work. Even the box says so. 🤣🙈

Hello! 🥰 Long time no see eh? I'm back in schoo Hello! 🥰 Long time no see eh? I'm back in school after a week break for Thanksgiving. I actually got a decent picture of myself during Thanksgiving but forgot to post it hehe 😆 we spent Wednesday night at my cousin's new house for Thanksgiving and then had more Thanksgiving food during Thanksgiving. 🤣 I'm so stuffed but I miss the blueberry pies and pecan pies! They went too fast 😭😭 Also, meet Chewy, my cousin's toy poodle 🥺 isn't he cute? He doesn't wriggle around when you hold him which is the sweetest thing 😍😆

I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @inf I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @influenster because they know I'm gonna be dying now that school has started back up again. 🤪🤪🤣 I am actually running out of toner so I am so freaking glad part of this care package involved the @humphreyswitchhazel toner! I've never tried anything with witch hazel but it's something I'm eager to try. 
.
I don't do much for my hair either so I think Influenster knew I needed to treat my hair with more love. When I have free time this weekend I'll be trying the @garnierusa hair mask and let y'all know what I think! It kinda makes me nervous because my hair gets so greasy but idk maybe that doesn't affect that?? 😆 And of course, super grateful for the @advilrelief because I can never get enough pills in me to treat my headaches cause it's the time for me to apply to universities...🙃 Can you believe it?! I'm graduating community college (again) in may 2021 and will be transferring soon for my bachelor's!! So crazy!🙈

I've been dead in this account and I know it's bad I've been dead in this account and I know it's bad, I honestly sometimes feel like deleting this account but I think of why I started this in the first place and it makes me sad I've kinda left it... But I like to say I'm just moving on to different goals and that's okay! I still don't know what I'll do with this account, maybe I'll leave it open and just post occasional (really it's rarely... honestly, who am I kidding 😂) photos if I'm somewhere exciting and new! Or flower pics 😂
