Vanity (and vulnerability): your thoughts on Make-up

I've been doing videos for a bit now, and I've really been enjoying them. They take a LOOOONG time to do though. They take a lot out of your day, a lot out of you - but all in all - they're still pretty fun!!

As I was thinking about the things that STOP me from making a video on any given day - I realized that MOST of the reasons have to do with my VANITY hahahaha

• My hair is a mess
• I don't feel like putting makeup on
• Have I gained weight?? I am POSITIVE I've gained weight LOL.

Not to mention what I should wear, where I should record... you name it, I've use it as an excuse lolol

And as I was thinking about it, sitting there on my bed - NOT wanting to go out in the rain, hair super un-cute, not only WITHOUT makeup - but last night's mascara darkening the circles under my eyes - I thought. Yup. We're gonna tackle this VANITY thing head on. hahhaha

So even though this video is kinda like a little "intro" - it DOES hit some raw nerves (with pictures.. ughhhh pictures) from some sadder times for me.

However, I did it for a purpose.

I'm opening the door for anyone who struggles with ANY of the things that I'll be bringing up in this series to say... hey, now you can see that I've been there too. You're not alone and hopefully, by the end of all of these videos - we've kinda acknowledged our flaws, embraced them, and we can even hope to become grateful for how they've shaped and molded us.

This is NOT going to be a series where I'll shame you on one side of the line or the other. If you love makeup - I hope you feel fabulous every time you get dolled up. If you love going au natural - ROCK that fresh face! (I like BOTH!)

But this IS going to be a series where you're invited to share your vulnerabilities, encourage anyone else whose needing it, appreciate the OTHER opinion, and sink comfortably into our own skin.

Also - if you're in the process of changing something on your body - I'd love to hear about the whole journey! I'll be sharing things I'm changing on mine! Hope you're interested in my journey too.

Last but not least, I hope you end up loving who you are on the inside first and foremost.

Wanna join in? You're invited to watch the video, and begin! hehehe

MEN - A LOT OF YOU KNOW, I love giggling and teasing - but I'll just say - this is not the space for a free-for-all 😉 You're more than welcome to drop comments if you're interested in ANY of these topics. But tread carefully, please. ❤️
