The right way to feel empowered and amazing about yourself!

Hey there you gorgeous thang.
I’ve been thinking about makeup and it’s purpose in our lives. I use it (along with other things) to help with confidence. But recently celebs like Alicia Keys (who I LOVE btw) and even Kim Kardashian have been going makeup free and not just on grocery runs but also at big awards shows and runway shows. It’s definitely making people talk.
BUT I notice they still wear gorgeous gowns, and expensive jewelry and fancy high heels.
It made me go down a rabbit hole in my mind and ask the question where does it stop? Aren’t they still “wrapped up” in how they look? They clearly still care about their appearance. So, where does it end? And who decides?
Yes these are the types of questions that keep me up at night.😂 As I’ve said before I feel like it’s one of the reasons I’m on this earth to help women increase their confidence and self esteem, practice self love and learn their self worth. And part of the way I do that is with makeup so I really want to question these things as they come up so I can help guide others through it also.
So for what it’s worth, here are my thoughts on this topic.
Where does it end?
With YOU.
Who decides?
YOU DO.
We are all unique and we all have different things that make us feel good about ourselves. But only YOU can decide what feels right to you. And that’s exactly what Alicia Keys is doing. Hearing her talk about this topic made me love her all the more. She asked herself “What makes me feel beautiful and authentic?
And she has decided she feels most like herself when she is bare faced. And isn’t that what we all want? To feel like the best version of ourselves?
I just want to encourage you to find out what makes you feel like your most beautiful self. So here’s my question for you:
What makes YOU feel empowered and amazing about yourself?
The next step in the process is to take action and DO IT.
Do you love wearing makeup and feel beautiful and confident when you wear it? Do you love putting on a beautiful outfit and amazing shoes? Do you love not wearing makeup?
What is it for you?
This year I got eyelash extensions and kept them for four months. They were expensive and I didn’t care. I LOVED them. They made me feel awesome.
I also got lip injections in my top lip. Something I had been wanting to do for a long time. But I did it not because someone wanted me to or didn’t want me to. I didn’t feel pressure about it at all but it was something I wanted to do, so I did it. And I loved it too!
I tell you that because I hope that makes you think a little bit about yourself and start to think about your own desires. Not just around beauty but in general.
What makes you feel awesome about YOU?!
We need to realize that we are in charge our our own lives and we alone have the ability and the freedom to choose the things that make us happy and leave us feeling empowered.
“If it makes you happy, then DO IT. If it doesn’t, then don’t!” I’m pretty sure I saw that on a t-shirt. But it totally applies here too!😉
I hope you have a wonderful and beautiful week! Whatever that looks like for you.
