Before and After!



AFTER




BEFORE


Ok, so someone started a challenge out in the blogosphere to take a pic of yourself as you are, right now, without changes. I think it is funny that this is considered a challenge. Yes, it may be difficult for some to post a picture of themselves without all the glam but I think the bigger challenge is can you find the time in your day, everyday to make yourself look the way you would like people to see you. I'm not talking about a complete makeover with the works but whatever it is you do when you spend a small part of your day making yourself look better and feel better about yourself. Call me vain, but I shower, put make-up on, and do my hair everyday. Yes, I didn't stutter, everyday! It's the one thing in my day that I try not to compromise. I have always been the kind of person that feels better when I have my hair and make-up done. Believe me, there have been plenty of days when I went places without doing anything but most days I try to do something to myself. I don't wear a ton of make-up, but I always say, "Even a barn looks good with a little paint." I am not trying to put the kabosh (sp?) on the challenge but I just wanted to voice my opinion which really means nothing. LOL! Well, gotta run! Liliana has an appointment at the clinic today with the peds opthamologist and I have to get myself ready and pack up the kids to go to Grandma's to drop off Gwynny before Lily and I go down there. Let you all know how that went later. Have a sunny day!

I am the same way!! I get up early just so that I can get ready in the mornings (shower, make-up, hair). I just don't feel good if I don't! Some people think I'm crazy getting up so early - but I just get up with my husband when he gets ready for work. Then when Joel and Caleb wake up I am ready for them!

You look absolutely gorgeous with or without the makeup. I LOVE your glasses and your hair! Simply fabulous darling! ;-) Maybe I should start taking sometime to pretty myself for the day. hmm...

I'm the same way! Well, you look great before and after, but if taking some extra time for yourself makes you happy, then go for it!
