As much as I love putting on makeup, there are days where I just want the world to see the natural me. I am not ashamed of how I look without makeup, whatsoever. I am proud of the way I look. However, I have not always felt this way. When I was in high school, I struggled with acne and would often feel that I needed to put on makeup to go out into the world. At the time, I was not getting enough sleep, drinking enough water nor was I eating the right foods.
As I got older, I understood more and more that you are what you eat. It can be difficult to eat well all the time, that is why I have an 80% rule. At least 80% of the time, I intend to eat well, sleep well and really take care of me. Taking the time for yourself will really help you connect with yourself and slowly but surely you will learn to appreciate certain aspects about yourself and the way you look. By doing this, I got over the hump of raging hormones and horrible acne and came out the other side loving the way I look.
Now in order to really bring out my unique features, I absolutely love to put on makeup, 80 % of the time.
