Be Real, Don't Conceal: Wedding Bells


So my best friend is getting married and the past month has been pretty packed full of events for her wedding. It’s been so much fun! I don’t really have much to say in this post, because honestly there isn’t much to say. Besides the fact that living a makeup free life has obviously been a very liberating experience for me, it’s also become like second nature.  My instinct when looking in the mirror is no longer to cover or accentuate anything. I just am what I am, and it feels so good. This Saturday will be the first day in I can’t remember when, where I wear a full face of makeup. It was actually something I thought over a lot and discussed with others and I have no doubt in my mind that it’s the right decision. One of the reasons for doing this whole thing is to feel comfortable being simple and natural. The wedding this Saturday is definitely not an event to be simple for or even natural. I don’t usually look fancy, have my hair all done and stand on a stage watching my best friend get married. This is an event where I am specifically trying NOT to be my normal self. So soon I will get all dolled up and feel like someone else, and cry my eyes out and ruin my makeup because MY BEST FRIEND IS GETTING MARRIED! :D












P.S. Also my brother and his wife had the cutest little boy a couple months ago, and i'm so excited so I just wanted to throw in this for fun
