I sort of want to be.....

As I slap clapstick (note I didn't say lipstick with any color) on my face, just before jamming a hat on my head and running out the door for the bus. I realize, yet again, I am not a girly girl.  I will complete the picture with my hiking boots, jeans, top and fleece ensemble.  Lovely.

I love my blogging community and the fashion and beauty bloggers are incredible and I am frankly in awe of them. They give excellent tutorial and review products with integrity. Plus they always look great. You really do ladies. I feel like if we were friends (where we could reach out and touch each other friends) and I was younger I'd have a handle on this.

But no. Hence I am sitting in a coffee shop with no makeup on. The thing is I go to work with no makeup on so this isn't as bad as it seems.  I do put lipstick on - even red lipstick. Just putting that out there.

I guess this post is about embracing who you are. The good and the  bad.  I think we should be open to new experiences and I love seeing what everyone is up to and their creativity.  Just don't be too hard on yourself and no comparisons.  Try out different tutorials and products you are getting good advice and honest opinions.

Realize we are all coming from a different playing field and that is okay.  All these incredible bloggers will tell you beauty comes from within and there is a radiance that shines when someone is kind, authentic and compassion to everyone. No matter what color lipstick they have on.
