Today was my day off of work. Usually, I have a pretty set routine when it comes to getting myself ready for the day. It always includes applying makeup. In certain years of my life, I could go an entire week without wearing a lick of makeup. These days, it just doesn't happen anymore!
Because of this, something has happened.
I'm not sure if I like my bare face anymore! It was kind of scary to realize that without my usual makeup on, I didn't feel like "me." When I look in the mirror, all I see are the little flaws and places I'd usually like to define with makeup. Today, I decided to make a stand. It was a little one, since I didn't have to go to work.
I actually brought my wedding dress in for the first phase of alterations today! I walked in, barefaced and all, and it went FINE. And then, I met up with my dear friend Monika for a walk in the snow-covered forest preserve, and it was GREAT. I managed to have a great day, and all without any makeup.
Am I speaking to anyone here? Does anyone else dare leave the house without a trace of makeup?
I hereby declare one day of the week Naked Day. I shall ditch makeup entirely (unless I'm in desperate need of lipbalm) for one full day. I will reconnect with my naked face and we'll get close again. Who's with me?!?
You are so cute! Love your blog.
