I went to dinner today with some old friends from high school and while I was waiting to be shown to a table a few girls walked in, they couldn't be more than 13 or 14 years old, wearing mini skirts and high heels at a casual restaurant. I thought to myself, how insecure of themselves they must feel to dress like that at such a young age. Obviously, times have changed from 6-7 years ago when I was at that stage of life; media influence is much higher, standards are set, and the word perfect is everywhere. I mean everywhere. When I got home after dinner, I came across a website where the headline said "7 ways to get perfect picture face" and the tips were just so ridiculous I couldn't believe it. They were talking about how to get the perfect nose and the perfect eye shape. Perfect, perfect, perfect. It really bothered me because who decides what perfect is anyway.
We are all unique and maintain our individuality through who we are and that includes every eye and every nose. People who want to change their entire face every morning to look like they are perfect don't make sense to me. Every quality you have makes you who you are and that should never be changed or switched for a 200 dollar make-up routine.
I don't want this to sound like another cheesy, "love yourself" speech, but I think it's important to make sure we always stay true to ourselves and remember who we really are. We need to remember what make-up can't change, what photoshop can't fix, and what clothing can't hide.
Chin up gorgeous, your stunning.
