Those of you who know me, know that I don't wear make-up everyday. I like make-up, I love to buy new make-up, and I have a lot of it. But when it comes down to it, I get tired of putting it on and taking it off every day. I'm really low maintenance at heart. (At least when it comes to make-up and hair!)
Today was picture day at school so I did the unusual and put on make-up because, in addition to being low maintenance, I am also vain! Especially when it comes to having my picture in a yearbook that will be around for years and years. And I knew what to expect from my colleagues and students. "You look so pretty!" As if they are shocked that I can sometimes look okay. I know people mean well when they say that, but what I hear in my head right after that is, "You look crappy-to-mediocre every other day." Oh well, I just accept the compliment for what it is. And know that the following day I will not wear make-up and not get any compliments.
At least they don't tell me, "You look tired." To me, that may be the only thing worse than "You look so pretty."
A hui hou!
=^..^=
Me, too!~ getting up at 5:45 am and walking to school (where my makeup would sweat right off my face) is not an option. That said, I ALWAYS wear at least a little when I'm going out~ I also don't do any more than put my hair up in a clip for weekdays, lol! ;)
ReplyDeleteI HATE it when people tell you that you look tired! Drives me nuts!
ReplyDeleteHowever, you are pretty every day!
