#no botox

Ok. Here goes: No filter. No makeup. No filler. No botox. No moisturizer. Didn’t brush my hair. Lots of digital camera contrast. Very very tired. Terrible lighting. Age 50. 🤷‍♀️🤣

Makeup is awesome. I love it a lot. You can choose any way to shade, and any color you’d like to use to accessorize your features. But sometimes it’s good to allow yourself to see who you are, without the mask.

47 years ago (almost) I came into this world with a bang. I was makeupless (there was no makeup artist in my Mom’s belly for my big entry), and, like a lot of other babies, I was pinchy and red looking, with a semi cone head. I grew out of that thankfully, and became what I am now, gradually.

Opening myself up in this way is not comfortable for me, because I like to control, well, everything; how I’m viewed, how I’m perceived, all of it. But I’ve slowly realized (it’s basically taken me now to fully understand) that I can’t. People will perceive and see me as they will. And instead of being “all consumed” with their perceptions, I decided to finally choose, all be it very tiny baby steps, to value myself “as is”. Cause I won’t stay the same forever, so I may as well celebrate it, cause it feels better to do so.

I’m still learning and practicing allowing and appreciating myself in all my forms. I have a hard time taking selfies without a makeup filter, but I feel accomplished that I finally did it, with some satisfaction. That’s a big step for me. So, here I am, au naturale, for the next part of my journey. Always changing, never the same, and all me. 💕😊
