Beauty

Darling,

This week’s Ask Mama is very special… I don’t normally do this, but today I’m asking the questions. I’m talking to the woman who inspired me and countless other women to take control of our health and our lives.
I brag.
I brag my friend, my pal, my compatriot, my inspiration, my teacher, my student: Sister Goddess Dr. Christiane Northrup!
I brag her courage, her creativity, and her stand for women, and now, girls.
I brag I recently had the chance to catch up with her about her new “baby,” her work with the School of Womanly Arts, and her own evolution as a creative force in the world. Check out the interview below, where she shares her hot brags, her secrets to owning her beauty, and the vaccine every woman needs…
Be inspired by Christiane to strike up the band keep and marching towards your own dreams!

Mama Gena: Christiane! Welcome! Give me a brag. What’s up, what’s new, what’s happening?

Dr. Northrup: You know, what’s happening right at this moment—it’s January right now—I have decided to do some body transformation work, so I’m doing a wonderful dietary thing, and what’s happening is—this is such a huge brag, I don’t even know what to say—for the first time in my life, and I’m not kidding, in my life, when I step on the scale, it doesn’t matter to me what it says because it’s not related to my inner sense of myself. And that’s only taken me about half a century… (laughs) continue reading…

Oh, Sisters. Why, why, why would you ever open this post with such a horrifying subject line? Flab. Cellulite. Dangling arm fat. I mean, which of us has not accused ourselves of having all of the above at one time or another? I mean, just last weekend, I went riding with my goddaughter and at lunch, all she wanted to do was play with my dangling arm fat. My daughter likes to do that, too, and has done it from the time she was a babe in my arms.

What is up with that? Feels good, I guess. All sorta soft and squooshie.

And we, as women, have spent thousands upon thousands upon thousands of dollars on fixing all these so-called problems. We go to endless workout classes, try Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, no wheat no dairy, or put ourselves in ketosis with all bacon, steak, and no vegetables, or fast on green juices, or one of my favorite heartburn-inducing beverages: lemon juice and cayenne. But at the end of the day, where are we?

Are You Beautiful?

When was the last time you felt beautiful?
Are you beautiful?

I am beautiful.
Are you?
I am soft, slim, sleek, and sensual. I take time, every day, to appreciate, exercise, stretch, and celebrate my body.
Do you?
My hair is either a mess of curls, or swept into a soft straight swing, at my pleasure.
Yours?
I take a hot bath, every night in Epsom salts, with a Rose scented candle, while reading an inspiring book. (This week: Shades of Grey and The Unlikely Peace at Cuchamaquic.)  How do you celebrate the end of your day?

Beauty and the Beach

One of the most common desires I hear from women is to feel beautiful and confident, and to love their bodies. And so many women truly believe that they will finally feel that way once they: lose the weight, fit into a smaller size, get that nose job, boob job, liposuction, or Botox.

When I hear that, I have to slam on the brakes and bring this crazy train to a halt. Owning your beauty is so much simpler than that! And it’s one of the most fantastic side effects of Miami and The World Wide Sister Goddess Reunion. Just ask SG Michelle (the beautiful woman who is wearing the glasses in the photo). It was in Miami that this Sister Goddess awakened to the incredible beauty of her very own body, and it’s a love affair that continues on to this very day….

When I first heard about Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts from my Nia teacher, I was not interested. But after a few months, out of nowhere, I began hearing more about Mama Gena from people I’d just met. I started wondering if this was all a sign that I should consider taking the program.

The more I researched and heard other Sister Goddesses’ testimonials on the website, and the more I spoke with graduates from the program, the more I began thinking that I needed something more in my life. I was soon to be going through a career change of leaving my job and returning to school, but I felt that despite the new chapter in my life that was starting in the fall, I wanted to experience it with more flair, more pizzazz, more juice and more ownership of who I was. I wanted to feel self-love, self-confidence, be more comfortable with flirting, and take my life and experiences to a higher level. After witnessing some bragging in my Nia class, I knew that I wanted more of that, and decided it was no accident that Mama Gena’s name started appearing in my life at the time that it did.

For me, everything began coming together in Miami. I can’t believe I hesitated in going! Miami was amazing, and I fell in love w/myself there. I think we SGs took over South Beach that weekend, as we dazzled the streets and water. When Mama offered us the challenge to do something to stretch ourselves, I decided that I was going skinny-dipping. A little daunting and scary at first, my self-consciousness melted away through the support of all the SGs. My transformation moment was the second time I went skinny-dipping in the Raleigh pool at 1 in the morning! I think that was the most daring thing I’ve ever done, and it felt so good…because it was a little naughty. Dashing naked from the pool chair into the water was nothing I’ve ever done in public before. But being in the pool with my fellow SGs under the moon was magical. When I went back to my room that night, and gazed at my body in the mirror, I fell in love with myself. It must have been from all the activities during the day, the Pink Party, and all the skinny-dipping. But until that night, I didn’t know I was so drop-dead gorgeous. My breasts, my butt, even with the cellulite…were all mine…and beautiful. Before then, I’d never seen myself in that way. It was at that moment that everything we’d learned so far began making sense. Such love, peace and gratitude swept over me that night, and I arrived back home after the weekend on a higher level of joy and pleasure. Even now, when I see myself in the mirror, I see my beauty.

The self-confidence I have learned allows me to be in my own power, and it helps me to support other women and upride them with more clarity. I can stand up for myself and say what I want because I own who I am, and am in my power and pleasure to do so. I’m more comfortable with being sensual, and no longer feel self-conscious when I’m intimate with my boyfriend. I am now more open-minded, and can support other women in their desires. I am empowered. I can express my desires, and give into them without feeling guilty. The community of SGs has redefined the meaning of friendships, and the connections I’ve made with SGs are even deeper than those I have with my closest friends from grade school. All women need to take this course!

People who knew me before Mastery have noticed a change in me. I walk taller, prouder, with more openness, and they say that how I speak and present myself has changed. My friends say I own who I am, and embody a confident woman. That to me speaks volumes, and it’s the most sincere and greatest compliment I’ve ever received. I respond with gratitude, and say “Thank you. It’s true.” Thank you to all my SGs, the Pleasure team, the Palace Staff, and to Mama Gena for showing me how to live like the Sister Goddess I was made to be.

With much love,

 

SG Michelle

Kitty Sends You Packin’!

Hot off the press from our very own SG Mary- otherwise known and celebrated as our in-house burlesque superstar: “Kitty Cavalier”: 10 Hot Fashion Tips for The World Wide Sister Goddess Reunion!

Dust off your favorite travel bags and get ready to fill them up! Follow Kitty’s tips and you’ll soon be “packing heat” for Miami!

#1 – Own and Operate your Beauty

Being beautiful starts with owning and appreciating every morsel that is you. Take this tip from Mama: “How interested are you in being beautiful? Are you interested enough to accept yourself completely in order to be a knockout? Consider this seriously my beauties, for complete ownership of ourselves and all our gifts is the price that beauty exacts.” – Mama Gena

#2 – Sexy Swimwear!

 

Before I came to Mama Gena’s I was famous for sporting long sleeves and pants in full sun on the beach. As a Sister Goddess, I’ve learned to flaunt my curves loud and proud! (YES- that’s ME in the photo!) I’ve even been known to enjoy the sexy South Beach policy: no bikini top – no problem! If you don’t own a bikini, or even think there will never be one in your future, don’t worry- it’s not about getting into a bikini! It IS about knowing that you’re a hot piece a$$ no matter what- and picking a swimsuit to reflect that!

#3 – Sexy Beach Cover Up

Once a Sister Goddess gets into her sexy swimsuit, she never wants to get out. Which is why a sheer, sexy cover up is a necessity for going from the beach to the restaurant to the hotel in style.

#4 – Beach Lips

Being a Pin Up Goddess, I’m always partial to a bright red lip on the beach to match my favorite polka dot bikini. But a shimmery lip gloss, or a just-kissed lip stain will draw the just the right amount of attention to your perfect pout.

#5 – Bring your “Miami” clothes

If you are a Goddess who has been to Miami before, you most likely have a special section of your wardrobe that has never seen the streets of your hometown. Think animal prints, loud colors, metallics, bling. If you have never been to Miami before, see my next tip.

#6 – No Miami clothes yet? No problem!

A word about these Miami threads: very few of us have the courage to purchase them without the insistence of a sister by our side. So if you haven’t a mini skirt or a bikini to call your own, don’t you worry about a thing. Miami has some of the hottest shopping in the world, and your sisters have got your back.

#7 – A fluffy robe

For after your moonlight skinny dip. Trust me on this one.

#8 – Press your edge at our infamous Pink Party!

What better way to celebrate being a Sister Goddess than by wearing our “school colors”- PINK! It’s one of our favorite events of the year, so, have fun and play!

Maybe it’s going all out from wig to toe polish. Maybe it’s just a pink cocktail ring to leave them guessing. Maybe it’s pink glitter sparkling lavishly on your smooth, sun-kissed decolotee. Whatever your Pink Party edge, press it. Show us your shine Goddess!

#9 – A Wide Brim, Floppy Hat

A Miami classic. Nothing says sexy like those seductive eyes peeking out from under your brim, like a naughty, well kept secret.

#10 – Bright, Juicy Fingers and Toes

There are few things more “Miami” to me than the sight of white sand slipping through my hot-pink polished fingers. Make sure to bring some extra polish in case you chip while writing your desires in the sand with your sisters.

And one last tip for good measure:

Find a Goddess who is not Owning Her Beauty and show her how it’s done. If you see a sister with her lights down low – assign her a catwalk. Whisper a womantra in her ear. Compliment her, and accept no response other than “thank you, it’s true.” Nothing is more beautifying to a woman than standing for another in Sisterhood.
