Lipstick Leadership Lessons: Summer Fridays
enjoy a real day off doing nothing
Thank you for being here and enjoying my weekly posts - happy to have a virtual coffee with me if you’d like to invite me to talk further on lipstick leadership. Lipstick leadership focuses on ‘the future is feminine’ and supporting, empowering, and inspiring others. It’s about today and creating a great future for all of us paid or non-paid.
Summer Fridays with my blog should be a time where there is light reading for some fun topics. What is your favorite thing to do?

Yeah, Summer Fridays are here again. What are you doing on your Friday off? My blog gets written before Friday so then I can do something fun.
Interesting: When researching for this post, most of the links I found were about beauty products for lip balms, jetlag, skincare and hybrid makeup.
Not sure what hybrid makeup is: (I learn something new each time I research a topic!)
“Hybrid makeup represents an innovative fusion between traditional cosmetics and skincare ingredients, creating multifunctional products that both enhance appearance and nourish the skin.”
And yes, beauty products are important especially for the summer sun to be protected. And we know that the beauty industry is a 500$bio industry – including 💄 lipstick!
But what about chilling, relaxing, doing nothing, being outdoors? Could that be a summer Friday activity?
❌ No: catching up on my emails
❌ No: listening to recordings of meetings this week
❌ NO: adding more items on the to-do list!
✅ YES: meeting up with a friend
✅ YES: being outdoors
✅ YES: reading a book (follow the blog next week for summer reading recommendations)
✅ YES: it’s for your own well-being, self-care, and happiness
✅ YES: niksen. The Dutch concept is as simple as, well, doing nothing.
Doing nothing is actually very hard:
- Your brain is going at 100 miles an hour
- You think of all the things you have on your to-do list
- You just simply cannot relax.
💄Leadership Lessons for Summer Fridays:
- This is the time when you slowly start to slow down
- Go outside and walk for 30 minutes without checking your phone
What can happen when you are not available for thirty minutes? I would argue nothing; we are so addicted to being on all the time that we forget to take care of ourselves.
Happy Summer Friday – take today off and don’t feel guilty, feel FREE.
