I am not a big makeup girl. Most days it’s chapstick, and if we’re getting fancy, maybe a little mascara or eyeshadow 😂
But Friday we went out to dinner with family and I decided to actually get ready — like really ready. And apparently I was feeling myself because these are basically all the pictures I took of me 🤣
Here’s the thing though… never underestimate how important it is to do something just to make yourself feel good.
Before this health journey, I avoided mirrors and cameras. If I took a picture it had to be from above or my “good side.” I didn’t realize how much I was hiding from myself.
Now I’m learning that self-love isn’t selfish… and it shouldn’t sit on the back burner waiting for a “special occasion.” Sometimes putting in a little effort for yourself can change your whole mindset.
So now I’m thinking maybe I should throw some makeup on once in awhile — not for anyone else, but for me.
Tell me which picture is your favorite ❤️
And drop a selfie in the comments — let’s hype each other up and remind ourselves how beautiful we really are!
