Personal growth looks good on you!

But it looks different on us all. We all move in different directions, different speed, different ways and that's what makes us so unique and wonderful.

I've honestly been loving my life since I realised that, that's what it's there for! Honestly, total light switch moment right there. What triggered it? The pandemic.

The world got quiet. The expectations of each other got lower and the masks were a plus too! When it came to make up, I've always relied on it to make me feel confident. Ask my family, from a young age I was hiding my natural beauty behind so much make up and refused to leave the house without my face covered. From Maxfactor Panstick to Elizabeth Arden and now Estee Lauder Double Wear - it was on. And like, I was only going into the shop!! My brother used to have to give me PRE pre-warnings because it would have taken me so long and honestly, in comparison to other girls I had the bare minimum on me ( I hadn't a clue!!).

Since beginning this soul shifting, emotional healing, personal growth journey I have developed a whole new level of not giving a f**k! I remember at the start of lockdown 1.0, texting my friends a picture of me with little to no make up on me and saying "It's shocking how little f**ks I give about my appearance now!" as if it was a bad thing. I decided to keep that thought process and learn to embrace these Irish freckles and my natural skin tone. Then the make up got less and less and lockdown restrictions lifted, and my make up remained in the bag!

Anyway, tonight I went out for my husbands birthday and I put a full face of make up on. I stared at myself for ages and just didn't understand why I felt weird about my appearance. An appearance that I used to have to put on every day!! I used to go to work with a full face of make up and when I was driving to the party I said to my husband, "I actually feel more comfortable without make up on than I do with this full face" and right there, I realised how far I have come in my personal growth.

Old mindset - "People will look at me weird and think I'm ugly. People wont take me seriously without make up on".

New mindset -"I now accept myself as is. I release the fear of judgement in relation to my appearance and I shine brightly without make up on!"
