Posted on 28. Jun, 2011 by Princess Lasertron in giveaway, photos

It’s giveaway week and each day has a different theme. Today’s prize will be a package with few of my favorite beauty products, beautiful things, things that are beautiful to look at. Maybe my favorite lipstick? Maybe perfume? Maybe a tiny painting? Comment below to enter and win!

Five times I felt beautiful and confident:

1. At my friend Hollie’s wedding

When Dave and I mess around and get silly, I see love for me in his eyes like at no other time. Having a romantic connection is the foundation of any marriage but being able to laugh and see each other as best friends is icing on the cake.

2. In Berlin’s Schwartzes Cafe in 2008

No sleep. All day and night on the plane. Starving. Wearing my travel wardrobe of cardigans and skinny jeans. When I think of “pre-baby Megan” this is the person I visualize. Dave took this picture of me in my exhaustion at a beautiful dinner we had as we began our first Berlin vacation together.

3. Cooking when I first got married

After we got married, I started cooking, baking, and sending lunches to work with Dave for…oh…a month? I’m not a cook, but I gave it a good try! I felt so cute and domestic. It’s not who I am, but it’s fun to play a role.

4. Watching my first runway collection take the stage

I felt so powerful and successful and proud this day. It was only the beginning of a new chapter and I knew it. Knowing the potential a project has is such an adrenaline rush because you don’t know if you will be able to make it happen.

5. Speaking at Meet the Pros last year

I love speaking and I always feel confident when I know what I’m talking about and I think I look good. It doesn’t hurt to have a handsome partner, right? Right?

When was the last time you felt beautiful?
This was one of the questions on our reader survey this year.
A few of my favorite answers:

“This past Saturday. I was out at the ballpark, cheering on my dad’s Senior Softball team as they played in a tournament. I was sweaty, with my hair back in a messy french braid, comfy in a t-shirt, and just plain happy.” (That sounds so beautiful.)

“Dancing around the living room last night, singing along to “You can’t stop the beat” on the ‘Dance on Broadway’ game on the Wii!” (my mom loves Hairspray!)

“Saturday, new nursing bra which finally fits, going to friends for lunch with friends wearing pre-pregnancy clothes and strangers cooing over my son ” (Been there girl!!)

“At my 13-yr. old son’s athletic banquet last week. I felt beautiful to be his mom.” (That brought a tear to my eye.)
