I have challenged myself to not wear make-up for the whole month of July. I've known a few people to do this, but I have always been too chicken...and well...that bothers me. I already have a pretty dinky self-esteem these days with having just had a baby, but to not feel comfortable leaving the house in my own skin? I have to toughen up. I'm doing this for a few reasons:
#1 The already mentioned boosting confidence in my natural self.
#2 To enlist a more rigid skin care routine. I'm mostly a "fall asleep in my make-up" kind of girl.
#3 To force me to do some more exciting things with my hair.
So, I have one freebie and that is Sundays and July 4th. I can't go crazy. Just foundation and mascara. Maybe that's a total weak sauce freebie, but I just am not ready to be totally bare-face on the days that I see the most people in the least amount of time.
Here goes nothin! Any brave soul is free to join me. Anyone who is not, I really don't blame you.
Good for you! I think you are beautiful and have been envious of your amazing looks since we met. I'd go bare this month but i have National Confrence for work and i feel stupid saying i want to 'look my best' for the CEO and Founder :-/ Although when i wear makeup it's normally just Mascara anyways.
ReplyDeleteBut for the rest of the month i'll go bare! Or next month! :)
It actually makes things easier though, not having to worry about one more thing ;)
