hi there! so i decided to start a blog. i never thought this day would come, but i suppose i was wrong! i'm not exactly sure where this will go or take me, but that's okay! i guess i'll tell you a little about why i'm doing this and what it'll contain..i've always loved anything that had to do with fashion and beauty, but there was always one thing that i wasn't so fond of-- the pressure to dress, look, talk, act, etc a certain way. that pressure is everywhere no matter how hard you try to avoid it. i was sucked in pretty early on in my life and it took a lot of years to realize i didn't have to try so hard. i had (and still have) the most incredible parents in the world. ever since i can remember they have always told me how much they love me and how beautiful i am and even better they told me how absolutely stunning God thought i was...it was nice that they thought i was pretty, but i didn't believe it deep down. i struggled so much with trying to figure out who i was supposed to be and what i was supposed to look like that i got SO caught up in trying so hard that i instead lost myself. i lost all confidence because i wasn't 5'11 and 85lbs like the models in all my magazines that i collected--but for real, who is!? hellooo, airbrush!! i battled self esteem and confidence issues for the majority of my middle school, junior high, and high school career. i always felt like i didn't dress "cool" enough and i didn't have the prettiest hairstyle or makeup and all of that really tore me down even more. there was no epiphany that changed my thoughts, but i started to finally REALLY realize during my senior year in school the love MY God has for me and truly how beautiful He sees his sons and daughters. the bible tells us that we are "remarkably and wonderfully made..Psalm 139:14). realizing that the Lord hand crafted me the way He wanted opened my eyes and made me SO thankful for who i was. i also realized that loving cheap vintage inspired clothing and different hair and makeup styles was cool :) but what makes me really unique is that i have this glow about me and i like to call that special glow Jesus Christ! i mean come on, He NEVER goes out of style!!
anyways, i want this blog to be fun and interesting about makeup, hair, and fashion..but also about how God views us and how we should glorify Him with how we look, but more importantly our inner beauty because out inner beauty can far outshine our outer beauty. i believe make up was made to enhance our God given features, not to completely change our appearance! clothes were obviously made to cover us --modest is hottest!--, but also to give us our own little flair! i encourage and challenge whoever reads this blog to jump outside the box, try new things, and TRUST that you are more beautiful than you know! i've got a few ideas up my sleeve for this blog that i think will be super fun so get excited!! let the blogging begin..!
