You don't HAVE to try...

I said with my first blog post that the entire point of this blog was to share girly things and to talk about makeup and all that stuff, but that it's not what makes us beautiful. It's what makes us fancy.

I believe in my heart that God made us all beautiful and that makeup and all this stuff we do to our appearance is what makes us fancy, what makes us feel good about ourselves, and what helps us feel groomed and polished -- whatever style that takes. BUT I still succumb to the notion that I'm not perfect, that I need to do this or that to look pretty. So I need to remind myself as often as you need to be reminded.

We don't have to try....

There's nothing wrong with putting your best foot forward and rocking a fancy face because it's how you feel the best. As long as you keep in perspective that you're beautiful without it all. You don't HAVE to be fancy -- "you don't have to try".

Everyday I think we should all wake up and look at ourselves in the mirror and say "do I like me?" and answer "yes" until we believe it. Because no one is going to believe in you if you don't believe in yourself and no one will see how beautiful you are if you don't let that beauty shine. Believe in your beauty and it will burn so bright the world will have to stop and stare.

Stay fancy!
