“The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,but true beauty in a Woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she knows.” Audrey Hepburn
IamBraveAndBeautiful With and Without Make Up
When I first came across the #IamBraveAndBeautiful campaign on keepmovingforwardwithme's blog, my initial reaction was reservation. I thought to myself and then shared with her: What a beautiful campaign. I wish we would all start at home teaching our daughters that they are beautiful as God created them. I am brave and beautiful with and without makeup. I look forward to the day when this would be a given, not something to campaign for. That said, I'm going to join the effort because every bit counts. As I pondered what all it meant, I knew in my heart that every effort we make to bring women together to love and respect ourselves is a step in the right direction. I know Megan and Cobi had great intentions when this idea was planted in their hearts and so, whether we agree with it or not, it is inspiring.
“No matter how plain a woman may be, if truth and honesty are written across her face, she will be beautiful.” Eleanor Roosevelt
I grew up in a household where make up was not encouraged. My Mom and Step Mom used very little of it; yes they were blessed with good skin. I experimented with it in my teen years; wore a lot of it in my twenties, cut back in my thirties, and wear it as needed now. Sometimes, all I wear is lipstick and sometimes I forget to put it on when I'm rushing out of the house. My daughters don't wear any make up because they think it does nothing for them (wise children). I like it occasionally and admire women who can apply it flawlessly... You know, the no make up, make-up look? Ha!
I am Brave and Beautiful - a beauty movement that is sweeping the globe. Colbie Caillat started it with her recent song and video called:
