I’ve never been the kind of girl who got highlights,had a thorough skin care regime, makeup has always been foreign to me, I started getting my brows done when I was probably 16 and shaved my legs for the first time in middle school when other girls had already upgraded to waxing. I’ve always been a bit of a tomboy so even something as simple as mascara was tough for me. I never thought I needed it. I didn’t understand why I needed to alter myself because it was expected of me. But the older I get, the more I realize that these things don’t have to be for others, or BECAUSE of others. I don’t know about you guys but self care is CRITICAL to my sanity. I NEED the few minutes I take to moisturize or apply a face mask, apply some lipstick or whatever it may be. I nerd it to center myself. To STOP and take a minute to breathe. The world is a crazy busy place, so do something for you today. Whatever it may be. Regardless of expectation or societal pressures. Whatever it is, do it for you.
