I know there are a lot of people out there that would disagree with me, but this is my blog, and my opinions.
I used to have a very natural take on beauty. I didn't want to wear makeup, because that's not how I actually looked. I have school pictures with my face covered in zits for all to see. I didn't cover them up, because that's how I looked.
I have since changed my view. Although I still don't feel like it's attractive to be painted with makeup, a little cover up can go a long way. However, I am a low maintenance girl, and honestly, too lazy to keep up with my appearance. This is my new goal. I am going to CARE about my looks.
I actually think that not caring about my appearance dishonors myself, dishonors my husband, and dishonors my God. I know that there are lots of Christian viewpoints that you are to be modest. I agree. What I don't agree with, is that you need to wear ugly clothes, let your eyebrows grow together, not do your hair, and keep away from makeup. A beautiful person does not distract people from God, it glorifies Him. I find that a person who cares about their appearance, seems more relevant. I find real, relevant people as a great witness for God. Do people really want to join a big group of homely, unkept people?
Obviously, I am not a proponant of Botox (who wants botulism?), plastic surgery, gaudy jewelry, and slutty clothes. What I am a proponant of is putting in a little work to show the beautiful person that God made.
So, I have decided to put in the effort. I bought some face stuff to help clear up my acne and keep my skin nice. This morning I not only covered up my zits, but I put on mascara! I'm gonna try to remember to pluck my eyebrows when needed. I will put more effort into what I wear. Simple things, but significant to a lazy, low-maintenance, me.
