<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It has certainly been awhile since I wrote a blog let alone a lifestyle blog. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A LOT has happened since the last time I wrote. I had a baby in October, and let me tell you being pregnant and then postpartum definitely paid a toll on my self love psyche. Having a new baby, hormones and everything that comes along with that, can 100% make you feel like your aren't enough or beautiful AND loving you, is set aside.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Now after 6.5 months (uhmm where did that time go..) I am feeling great. I am working on taking care of myself more and more everyday. Along with looking after everything else, I have made it a priority to work out, eat well (as often as possible) and do things that make me happy. Hubby and I make sure we go out at least once a month, just us and no kids, to regenerate and have some fun one on one.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I find that I was so hard on myself as I journeyed through pregnancy, all those habitual thoughts of not being good enough, of being over weight swam through my mind constantly. It hindered some of my relationships and made me feel small. NOT to say that I didn't also enjoy growing my tiny little human but at times it was mentally straining. Doing the best I could to feel good was all I could do. Spending time with family and preparing for my baby bear was what kept my spirits up for sure.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Postpartum - at first I didn't have time to care about what I looked like or my weight, all I focused on was keeping this precious miracle alive. It was amazing having Brayden home with us after a hard labour and 4 days in the hospital. BUT then as the months passed and I was feeling better, those unkind thoughts came up again. We are most mean to ourselves then any one else could ever be to us, I know this as fact. Constantly reminding myself that I was doing the best I could and that my body is an amazing tool to create life in all its glory. SO now that is what I do, and as I kept changing the negative thoughts I noticed something, I can now quickly shift just like I had pre-pregnancy.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It has been quite the journey and let me tell you and its not over yet! With the support of my wonderful man letting me know that no matter what he loves me and my body, I breath a sigh of relief that the only one who is making me feel insecure about my soft belly is me. I am where I am right now, and in this moment I L-O-V-E my body for all that is has done and all it can do. I am fit and strong and will continue to be.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>

Sometimes it will show up in a big way and others that are easy to shift through. Remember you are doing the best from where you are right now in this moment. CHOOSE appreciation in these moments whether it is about the situation or something else you love, this will help you to keep shifting and moving forward. After all that's what we are meant to do.</span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-size: large;">I love creating dresses for the next step in life. Whether it is for Grade 8 graduation or your final year with Prom, this is one of the most important transitions. I remember wanting the most specific dress for my prom and then found something completely different. I am glad that now I can create dresses for young girls to create their dream dress that fits perfectly.</span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: x-large;">From the wedding dress to the flower girls dress your designer Amanda Garrett can make all your dress dreams come true. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The best part of what I do is the final fitting, seeing the look on my clients face when she puts the dress on and sees that it is exactly everything she wanted and more. From beginning to end the whole process is personal and exciting. Getting to know each clients wants and needs is very important and I take extra care so that your experience will be just as special as you are.</span></div>

It was the exact replica of what I expected. The entire experience was so beautiful and professional. I absolutely loved my dress when it was finished and it fit me so perfectly. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #1d2129; font-family: "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I recommend Amanda to make any dress if you want to feel like a princess.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #666666;">As those of you who follow me know, I love my collaboration shoots! It's great to be able to get a team of incredible creatives together and bring to life moments like these. THIS dress was so much fun to create. From finding this perfect lace, which challenged me because I had never worked with it before. It had quite a stretch to it and with the beautiful lines it has, patience and a good eye really needed to be used for this one. I wanted to do a 1970's piece because I think it is so wonderful to create from different eras, so be prepared to see some other staple pieces from specific times. </span><span style="color: #666666;">The sleeves, neckline and hemline make this dress exactly what it is meant to be, timeless. Take a gander at what our amazing team did together and with only 15 minutes of light on the day of the shoot.</span> </span></div>

<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As I have shared before relationships were always a very hard thing for me, allowing situations and not so nice people remain in my life for many years. Sometimes within the wonderful relationships that I now have, things show up that I can make assumptions about and over think. When I allow the fear to take over, I panic and get paranoid. I literally can feel like I am loosing my mind, creating a mountain out of a not so existent mole hill.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I finally let myself step back, and that could mean having a conversation with a friend who provides a perspective that I really needed to hear. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">OR asking myself the questions; </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">1."What do I really need right now?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">2."Am I taking responsibility for myself or blaming someone outside of me?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">3."How can I better understand this (insert feeling, experience here) and learn from it?"</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I can then start shifting and moving out of the fear. Loving myself even though I am "being" a way that I think is "wrong", can be really empowering. Showing up and loving the dark parts of ourselves, is what we all need to do. How can we expect anyone else to love those parts of us if we can't seem to. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had a friend once tell me after hearing how "crazy" I felt I was being, "You need to stop saying you're crazy because you're not... I care about you and I am proud of how far you've come." Those words changed my perspective, allowing me to know that no matter how "crazy" or "silly" I am feeling. I am still loved.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I truly believe that we are not given anything we can not survive, everything shows up for us to heal, learn and grow. Take good care and be kind to yourself when feeling down or have not had a great day. YOU are always, deeply loved.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope this serves you.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I know you may hear this all the time to be present, be in the moment or be in the now. HOW many times a day do we get lost in our own thoughts? A heck of a lot!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdGvpP1fsLqwDBkOuXk_Wbja6gJffK0Po5eeVyAwfQgT_atkxfMK1uejDll_MoCfR_dtNHKloXFb4PjOCZzQNZ5TlI7dqRgyp6Eci4PeJZikHoCpU-2ZXvMqSjle_Uifq91fPGIkTH9I/s1600/IMG_20161216_171511.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrdGvpP1fsLqwDBkOuXk_Wbja6gJffK0Po5eeVyAwfQgT_atkxfMK1uejDll_MoCfR_dtNHKloXFb4PjOCZzQNZ5TlI7dqRgyp6Eci4PeJZikHoCpU-2ZXvMqSjle_Uifq91fPGIkTH9I/s320/IMG_20161216_171511.jpg" width="274" /></a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">BUT being in the moment even for a few seconds can be beneficial to your self love journey. So take time to breath and close your eyes for even 10 seconds. If you do this 6 times a day, that's a whole minute and juicy in the now time!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">What about when something amazing shows up? Something you have been asking for and dreaming of for a long time. AND boom there it is right in front of you! Dwell in that happiness, soak it in like feeling the sun on your skin after a very looooooong winter. I have had a few wonderful things show up in the past 3 weeks and it is just astonishing that I have to pinch myself. The more you're in the moment and feeling good then the best is yet to come. HAVE faith, hope and trust in yourself.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So take that moment, dwell in that morning ritual, that great conversation with a friend or cuddling with your favourite animal. All your dreams and anything you can imagine will definitely come true. AND sometimes in even better ways than you could have ever thought were possible.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope this serves you.</span><br />

Her dress needed some alterations and she wanted to add some accessories that made her feel so incredible on her wedding day.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She had been nervous and had some doubts about the dress before the alterations. When your body changes during and after pregnancy, it can be hard not to worry about how clothes look on you now compared to what that used to be. Let me tell you though, my biggest goal is to help you look and FEEL absolutely beautiful inside and out. After altering and adding a fabulous sash to her dress, as well as, making a hair piece to complete the ensemble. She was absolutely stunning! But see for yourself.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Have you ever found yourself avoiding something, a conversation, a decision or a feeling? Resistance is definitely part of being a human, but when do you finally let it go? Did you know that when you do, it can feel like a huge weight is lifted? Like all of a sudden you can see clearly now. Any time I release resistance to something, that song 'I can see clearly now', pops into my head. Honestly, because once I released a relationship that was holding me back, while I was driving to work I finally said okay I'm done. The song came on the radio and a truck drove past that said FINALLY.. serious the universe is amazing at providing guidance and signs we just have to let it flow. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When we're stuck, we put up a wall that block our connected-ness. This may sound heady or woo-woo to some but when you believe in a power greater than yourself and you allow it to come in, to take the burden, something incredible happens. You experience a miracle. Miracles don't have to be these massive changes, it can just be a small shift that gets you from feeling stuck to feeling clear.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lately, I have been resisting my own stuff a lot, something that has followed me for so long. Relationships for me have been very hard at times. My ego trips a lot, and I find it hard to breath at times. I have lived in the projections my mind created about relationships(family, friend or romantic), and I believe them. "I'm not enough", "I'm going to be left all alone", "Who am I to be happy?", "What's wrong with me?" etc, etc. Then the blame shows up, something doesn't happen, they don't call or text me and I get upset and all of the above happens. Disappointment can be a dark place if you let it, and you get mad at the other person, projecting your shit onto them. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">SO I believe that every person in your life is like an "assignment", for us to learn, grow, and heal. It will keep showing up, in different relationships or circumstances until it</span></span><span style="color: #666666; text-align: center;"> is healed. When I take a step back and say, "how can I grow here?", it allows my inner guide to take the lead a little bit. A mantra or prayer like, "Thank you, inner guide(god, universe, spirit, source etc), for helping me see this with love". Then a meditation to get still and allow any guidance to come in. Just by doing this, I feel light and more grounded. CHOOSING not to stay in my mind and rather let the fear sit in the back seat, no driving allowed, it can't even touch the radio. T</span><span style="color: #666666; text-align: center;">his allows me to react in a calm way instead of allowing my frustration to take control of any conversation. </span><span style="color: #666666; text-align: center;">I am able to shift, even a little bit out of what I had been resisting, and oh what a feeling. When the anxiety drops, there's just relief. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This then leads me to books like Gabby Bernsteins 'Spirit Junkie' or listening to something from Abraham Hicks. Whatever I need I am guided to and you will be guided to also. BUT you have to be willing to see things differently, to ask and sit in patience for what you really are needing. The universe has your back, you just have to allow yourself to lean on it.</span></span><br />

This soft yet BOLD fabric left an imprint on me ❤. Everything in my house is now covered in golden sparkles, but who doesn't love a little bit of that kind of dust!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The shoot was fantastic, I love working with like minded and creative people! Whimsical with an edge, this skirt was brought to life as the <a href="https://www.instagram.com/happyjazan/?hl=en" target="_blank">model</a> put it on. Her make-up done by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/beautybysacha/" target="_blank">Sacha</a> was fierce and beautiful, she has an incredible way of enhancing everything she touches. Thank you so much for including me and I can't wait to do a little something more with this golden beauty.</span><br />

That's your body saying, "Let's rest," my love. There were long periods of time that I used to go, go, go and do everything that I had to do including things that others asked of me. After my concussion in the summer, learning to say no was an absolute must. Almost 6 months later, and still having symptoms, I have to really pay attention to my body and how much I can do. It really was a blessing though, because now I listen when I am exhausted instead of trying to do more and pushing myself way too hard. Sleep is incredibly important whether you have a head injury or not, it allows us to regenerate and be able to go full force again.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Take time for YOU, every week or better yet every single day, so that you can be the best you there is! We can not help anyone if we don't take care of ourselves first. I know, I know easier said than done sometimes, but just learn that you are just as important as anyone or anything else. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Have a relaxing night with someone you love, friends, family whoever that may be. Do some yoga, or an exercise that moves your body where you feel relaxed and nurtured after. Meditate, have a nap, go to bed early, whatever you need to do, DO IT! I promise you will get all the things you need done and even better when you do this for yourself. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Oh yeah, and LAUGH, get that funny bone tickled! Laughter helps every cell in your body feel ecstatic, so watch that HI-larious comedy or cat video. You'll thank yourself later.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So much love for you my friend.</span><br />

It is definitely one of my favourite fabric, it comes in all different textures, weights and colours. You can use it to dress up any dress, top, skirt, or even jean shorts. When your a designer fabric shopping is your happy place. Where you can find that perfect one to create something basically out of nothing.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Every single time I shop for a client and I find that exact fabric I was looking for, O-M-G such an awesome feeling! I know she's going to love it and it gets us so much closer to making all her dress dreams come true. Now, some clients can be very vague when it comes to the fabric, colour etc and others can be so specific, I may have to dig through piles and bins to find that needle in a hay stack. BUT, when finding that exact colour in the lace overlay and lets say a satin underlay, it's like the universe knew I would go crazy if I don't get exactly what I am looking.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">That's when this amazing dress for a Momma on her baby's baptism day was born! I love the uniqueness of this dress and oh that keyhole back. My client loved it oh so much.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"</span><span style="background-color: white;">Getting my custom dress from Amanda was great. The dress was made for my daughters baptism and I received a lot of compliments on it! Having two kids doesn't leave me with a lot of time but Amanda was accommodating knowing this. She also altered and changed the bow on my older daughters dress to match my dress. My whole family matched :) The Dress made me feel pretty and it was very comfy. What's great is, it can be altered if I ever need because it's custom! Love it!" </span></i></span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I've been having a lot of conversations with people in my life about negative self talk. I hear it all the time, and hey I'm totally guilty of it in some cases too. I work on this every day. Some days are harder than others. WE talk so poorly about ourselves at times, we do not realize how much it hurts.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I asked a friend who said she hated her legs, how she would feel if someone walked up to her and said that. HER face said it all, pretty friggen horrible! So why do we say these things to ourselves? They become subconscious after a while. Even with all the work I have done I still have that, I am not enough thought show up. Depending on the situation I can either easily shift and choose that I am enough or I get stuck. Creating problems that may not even exist. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When this happens changing your words towards yourself is incredibly important. If I look in the mirror and say "ugh I've gained so much weight." I now say towards my body, "Thank you for the ability to choose my health." At first it is really hard, know that eventually it gets easier. When you show up for yourself and witness your thoughts, your life will change. HOW you treat yourself and others will get better and even how they treat you will change.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Mantras are very useful especially with negative self talk. Any time I'm fearful (anxious, panicking, frustrated etc), finding words that feel good like, I choose to feel better now, I choose peace over this or just simply I love you/Thank you. Repeat the words that help you feel a little better over and over, until you know you're shifting. Breath. Step back. And really feel what's going on, this is all part of the self-love process.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">If you're willing to heal, grow and learn, you will be able to continue to move forward in the best possible way. Yes, there will be great resistance at times but, just remember you're human, you are a magnificent being with extraordinary potential. Big Love my friends.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I hope this serves you.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">Hello Sunshine,</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">How grateful am I! On January 6th - 8th I had the pleasure of being apart of Canada's Bridal Show for the very first time. THIS has been the biggest show in Canada running now for 32 years! It was a complete success my friends. To all those who joined us, a huge thank you. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">My team was unbelievable, getting the word out about A.M.E.G. Designs and helping each women get one step closer to her dream dress. I have emails pouring in with requests for quotes and so many beauties have been added to the list, YAY!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Each person in my life leading up to and during the show were amazing too! Getting me closer to my vision and checking in every day, thank you to all my supporters, each of you are so wonderful.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666;">
There was a contest for a custom head piece or veil with a very lucky, excited winner who is now thinking of all the ideas she can so we can create something beautiful for her special day! Each dress shown in the pictures were a hit! I debuted a plus size model (the only one at the show), so every women could really see the difference in size and what A.M.E.G. Designs really offers. A perfect fit for every body! </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666;">Overall I have no complaints, meeting so many wonderful vendors as well as brides, I am so excited to see what this year has to unfold. Wishing you a very Happy New Year lovelies!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The Christmas holidays were filled with so much love and food, family and friends. This year I created most of the gifts for my loved ones, and you know what, it felt so much better then buying anything ever has. NOT to say that it doesn't mean as much to pick out a present that will be just as a appreciated, but I really felt the thanks when each of them found out I made their gift. It wasn't anything extravagant, place mats for the adults, all of them loved that I took the time to create something just for them. My Nana received a beautiful purple infinity scarf and was so very happy with it, I chose the fabric because it was so her. A few blankets for the kids and their reactions were priceless "this is my favouitest blanket ever" one proclaimed and the other jumped up and down as he squealed. Pjs for the boys, which were a bit too loooooong for 11 year olds but hemming can always be fixed (thank goodness) but overall I think they were appreciated. Baking is always a hit as well, truffles and snickerdoodles for one and all! </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I really realized that we don't need to over spend and get super stressed about money. It's the little things, like creating a gift or just spending time with one another that truly counts. My family and friends are so generous, I am so very thankful for all that I received over Christmas. Definitely the season of giving! Hoping your Holiday season was filled with so much love, that you feel full and excited to greet the new year with joy and enthusiasm.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">When I was 6 years old I decided no one liked me. What a thing to think and make as a life statement so young, but it's true. I wasn't invited to a girls birthday party, being one of the only kids not invited. I was so upset, I lied. Yep, I was 6 so what do you do. I told my very best friend that I lost my invitation and needed the address and time. She gave it to me, I wrote it down and went home and told my mom I needed to get a gift for a girl in my class. </span></div>

But, we got there, and I was looked at like a fool. By the kids and her mother. I didn't get to go to the party and I never told my Mom what I did to get there. I was 6 years old and I decided no one liked me and I wasn't good enough. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This thought led through my whole life, I can see how it followed me in every relationship, family, friend and romantic. So many situations kept confirming that I was not enough and I was constantly comparing myself. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Then, body image began to be a big part of the "I'm not good enough" mind. I started to diet at a young age and wanted to be skinny like my friends. I gained a lot of weight or "baby chub" when I was 11 and was made fun of for it. I didn't always eat the best, there was a convenience store right down the street. So yeah I ate a lot of junk, that didn't help. I was made fun of one too many times and decided to stop eating and start working out ALL the time! </span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I was 13 when I became anorexic and 14 when I thought I'd give bulimia a try (that didn't last long, thank goodness). But 3 years later I still wasn't eating much, before high school. I was 100 pounds, skin and bones. I never felt more less, and not enough. In high school I had several wonderful people in my life who helped me eat and gave me some hope. BUT, I wasn't happy and it showed in so many ways. Becoming an over eater I gained weight and lost once again. I compared myself to everyone who I thought was prettier, thinner and well, better than me. I wasn't enough for anyone, especially not myself. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I tried so hard in every single relationship, friend, family and romantic to be the one person they would love, and be there for. Except I didn't try with my own, the relationship with me. Self love is such an important relationship to have. When you have a strong sense of self worth and love for yourself, things begin to shift. Friends who were your "Besties", fall away and men who you thought loved you, do too. Relationships that no longer serve you basically disappear. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">And what are you left with? YOU. To love and be kind to, to be your best friend, the light that lifts you up and the heart that holds you close no matter what. Because, well, you are enough. You begin to see that the relationships you now have are the ideal relationships for you. They love and cherish you as you now do yourself. Taking care of yourself mind, body and soul, is the most wonderful, generous thing you can do in your WHOLE life. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This shoot was to show that you can get to happy after an eating disorder. I recovered from Anorexia, I am a recovering over eater and very proud. I no longer put myself down because of my body or the decision that little 6 year old girl made so many years ago. I love her and ME every day. It's not always easy, but like in any relationship if its worth the fight, then FIGHT. I am enough for me and I know I am enough for every one else too. </span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Isn't just the best time of year, with joyful music playing and every ones spirits start to lift as we get into the holiday season. Christmas parties and get togethers come by the plenty and all the time we have gets compiled into one month where we really make time for the ones we love. It certainly is one of my favourite times of the year.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I get to see family that lives on the other side of Canada and have every one all together under one, two, or three roves, how exciting! There are many gifts to be given and love to be had, that we must always remember those in need. I have heard a lot of families who instead of buying things for each other, they donate what they would have spent to charities, local and global. THIS is so amazing, and what a time of year to do so when many who are less fortunate then we, really need a lift in spirits. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><a href="http://www.canadianwomen.org/donate" target="_blank">The Canadian Women's Foundation</a> and <a href="https://www.gifttool.com/donations/Donate?ID=1676&AID=1607" target="_blank">Raising the Roof</a> are the two that I contribute to all year round. BUT I like to give a little bit more a Christmas to help an individual or family in need. I truly believe that giving to another, not only lifts them up but gives us our own strength to say thank you for all that we have to be grateful for. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I will be donating to <a href="http://www.canadianwomen.org/donate" target="_blank">The Canadian Women's Foundation</a> this year and all ask from you my amazing readers and tribe to share this like crazy! For every new '<a href="http://www.facebook.com/yourdesigneramandagarrett" target="_blank">Like</a>' on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/yourdesigneramandagarrett" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> up to 300, I will donate a dollar and match it to my own contribution.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since 1991, <a href="http://www.canadianwomen.org/donate" target="_blank">the Canadian Women's Foundation</a> has invested in more than 1400 community programs across Canada that help women and girls move out of violence, out of poverty and into confidence and leadership. It's a chance to offer hope to a woman starting out on a difficult journey. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This Christmas help someone in need, human or animal, whatever foundation speaks to you the most and put your heart there. Any contribution is big, whether a dollar or one million, donating gets someone closer to a better and happier life. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">SO be grateful for all that you have because someone certainly wishes they were in your shoes!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fashion is a huge part of the life we live, from what we wear every day to what we see and love about the world.</span></div>

Fashion is a massive industry and through media we have been conditioned, that we need to "look" a certain way.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">By accepting what we do not like, we can start accentuating what we do. Your clothes should serve you, isn't that wonderful. Finding clothes that fit our frames and provide a feeling of comfort like no other. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="font-size: small;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Style -lifestyle if you will, is how we show personalities, feel about ourselves, live our lives, are in and are to the world. SO this is much greater than fashion to me, but the style of life. Making all your dress dreams come true and helping to illuminate the beauty in you. One stitch and woman at a time.</span></div>

This Fall elopement shoot was incredible. We just got to the location just after a storm passed at 8am, it was a bit chilly that morning and very windy. But as we all arrived and got every thing set up, Models dressed and camera ready. It got warm, blue skies appeared and the sun created such great light peaking through the woods.</span><br />

I was a Galaxy, in which my name was Galaxy that night. Oh SO in love! I made the peplum top with extra fabric, the silver piece is covered in colourful and glow in the dark fabric paint. Comets and shooting stars I had so much FUN with the paint part (haha). Searching the dollar store for stars, I found some CHRISTMAS decorations that were perfect! I sewed them on and voila! Inspired by my galaxy yoga pants, add the very high heels and make-up and there you have it, A GALAXY.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The night was enjoyed with some very fabulous characters, I wish I got all the other costumes too but here are just a few. People really do go all out and are so incredibly creative. </span></div>

<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvN0qmYPcQIyfB7C1Gz2GKnK8_7LS7Izo19tfSUAQAeBO7dva7UaVPuNvpezBOwSSdGvCwoZ4xilec0d_eCnn16-3mxt29-f-pKx0g2YX_kzmMqXhD9stU365k5Cp1tfqmXX4N7gltDXg/s1600/specials+%25282%2529.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvN0qmYPcQIyfB7C1Gz2GKnK8_7LS7Izo19tfSUAQAeBO7dva7UaVPuNvpezBOwSSdGvCwoZ4xilec0d_eCnn16-3mxt29-f-pKx0g2YX_kzmMqXhD9stU365k5Cp1tfqmXX4N7gltDXg/s400/specials+%25282%2529.png" width="266" /></a><span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It has been a while since I have written. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the beginning of August, I suffered from a concussion. It seems silly but after hitting my head, not so hard, on one the rides I felt a little sick. BUT, it was the last ride of the day and I thought I was just tired from the 8 hours spent at Wonderland.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Unfortunately not, for a week I felt sick, in and out of work. I went to the doctor the following week, leaving there thinking I had vertigo. Feeling dizzy and nauseous every day for weeks, finally I saw my nautropath and massage therapist who recommended I see a physio therapist who specialized in vertigo.(AND luckily concussions) Here we go, I was going to try anything at this point. I couldn't work out, being an avid runner and yogi, I wasn't able to read any more or do much of any thing without feeling terrible. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the end of the day, having a head injury is NO JOKE. Loosing motivation is a huge part and a major symptom. SO here's the thing; head injury or not you can loose momentum in what you're trying to achieve or a routine you would love to keep on track with. BUT life happens, remember that as long as you do a little something every day you can definitely stick to it. Yes, w<span style="background-color: white;">e fall but the most important thing is we get back up and try again, focus and move forward.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Being told that I could start running/walking intervals and yoga again was music to my ears! Yoga has always been my non-negotiable, but when that even made me feel sick I didn't know what to do and my body certainly has been feeling it.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I am now happy to say that I am back to work full time, still suffering from symptoms but on the mend. Feeling better mentally has made a world of difference with my motivation, seeing others doing what I want (like running) helps me to work even harder to get better. WHICH means lots of sleep and not taking on more than I can handle. </span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">SO follow people who inspire you to do more, be more and be grateful that they have shown up for you to see it is possible. YOU can do anything you want to and more you just have to believe. Keep going lovely you are most certainly on the right track.</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hello Lovely!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So here's the thing, keeping commitments to ourselves can be hard. We have the best intentions and the perfect picture in our heads of how it is "supposed" to go. The truth is some things are hard, because of habits that have been a part of our lives for sooooo long, to step in front of them can be tricky when they hold on to your left foot like tar. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The best part is though, you did move that one foot, even just a little. And what does the mean??! It means you've got this for all the reasons you decided to move from habitual tendencies in the first place. Think about why you started, for your family and friends, to feel good, to be able to play with your nieces and nephews or daughters and sons, until you all fall on the floor laughing, (one of my favourite things of all time, just saying). To run with your dog so when you get home he's passed out in his bed well before its time to sleep. Those my friends are good moments!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When you feel like quitting remember why you started, why you even had the thought to move forward. Because you are ready to stretch your wings and soar. Be easy with yourself my love and just pull that foot right out of what was never tar, but just a sticky piece of gum.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I promise to continue to honour myself and share my journey. Even though my 40 day challenge of not over eating is complete, I will not quit, stop or hold myself back. I have never felt more clear and happy. Finally free! I've got this and so do you.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The summer is almost over, ahh, ugh, O-M-G!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">But fall is always a great time to have a wardrobe lift. With so many fall fashions coming this month I want to extend my hand and show you some from A.M.E.G. Designs. From pencil skirts to loose fitting blouses, you can get your custom fit wardrobe right here.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The style can be anything that you like, in which fits your frame and helps to bring out the best in you. Fall colours such as burgundy, brown, green and many others to choose from, you can also mix and match pieces together. The best way to be yourself is to feel good inside and out, here's your chance to do both!</span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have been posting my journey to stop overeating on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/yourdesigneramandagarrett/?hl=en" target="_blank">Instagram</a>. I am on day 22 and it hasn't been easy. Some days have been filled with the struggle of consuming so much at once that I feel I have failed. Others have been easy breezy and healthy, my struggle is not just with junk food but with all food. Overeating is something a lot of people do because we eat with our emotions rather than when we are hungry.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The grief of loosing my dog a little over four months ago had me constantly binge eating and not witnessing what I was doing. I am sad, but joyful at the same time with life and so it is hard to recognize sometimes when the grief is showing up. In one of my <a href="http://amegdesigns1.blogspot.ca/2016/07/the-canadian-womens-foundation.html" target="_blank">previous blogs</a>, I wrote about my eating disorders when I was 13 years old. Although I no longer starve myself like I did back then, overeating is just as bad for my health.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This journey of 40 days without overeating was a decision I made because I was feeling foggy and exhausted. I needed help and with the plethora of books and support I have received I believe wholeheartedly that I can do this. YES, I have fallen off, and most likely will again. BUT, I do my best with meditation and awareness to come back to who I really am. A healthier, happier me!</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So I am more than half way done my 40 days and here is what I have come to notice, I forgive myself more easily than I once did, I have completely let go of it being about my appearance and I love myself even more today than yesterday and when I started at day one.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Some tips for those of you who feel like food is something that controls you; Meal prep HELPS a lot! Meditation, books (Mindset, Willpower and The Best Diet Begins in Your Mind etc), following blogs and others on a similar journey, support of and from others , hobbies, and working out. The number one thing is know that you are going to fall off and that is okay. </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Be easy with yourself and love the process, you can do anything you put your mind to!</span><br />
