The Circle of Shame

Hey Dolls :)

The other day I got a bit of a shock when someone told me their first impression when we met was that I was vain and shallow solely based on the fact that I had nice make up and hair and carried a pocket mirror in my bag...Arrrrgh genuinely you can't win! You either deserve heats circle of shame if I don't wear make up or get labelled as vain when I do take care of my appearance.

Now...lets be completely honest here what would I rather look like....?

THIS


Or THIS


That first photo is me completely natural - no extensions, make up, fake tan, straighteners nothing. Yep I have spots, frizzy hair and pasty skin - and I'm fine with that. However I don't think there is anything wrong with making an effort or taking pride in your appearance ( not that I'm saying the second photo is perfect just an improvement ha!)

Blaaaaah I wish we would stop being so judgemental of one another and accept everyone (and ourselves) flaws and all!


Lots of Love
Nic

  15. You look gorgeous either way! I've found that its whatever makes me feel happy that matters! My parents always complain that I have far too much "black on [my] eyes" and compare me to some old singer who always used to have "panda eyes." But having my panda eyes is the only thing which I can't not do!
    And carrying a mirror around with you is just common sense lol! xx
