So bummed to read this post (and OMG OUCH!!) I think we all hit slumps occasionally and our esteem is tied to any number of them. But maybe something a mini makeover (new products from Sephora) and a mini "photoshoot" with a photog could help you see yourself in a fresh light? I agree with Anon that makeup doesn't solve the problem...but I always feel that it helps me. I always feel more fresh faced with a new dewy primer, mascara or concealer. I dont know the answer...but you are definitely beautiful inside and out.<br /><br />- MeredithMeredithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5095361597599308436.post-49765240367045163972015-05-14T13:43:03.116-04:002015-05-14T13:43:03.116-04:00You are preaching to the choir.
There are some da...You are preaching to the choir.<br /><br />There are some days when I know Iook great - my clothes look and feel right, my complexion is clear, my hair does what it's supposed to do.<br /><br />Then there are those days (which I'm the middle of) when my hair looks stupid, my skin behaves like a teenager, and no matter how many outfits I try on I can't find one that looks good.<br /><br />I think we all go through that and I'm not sure why. Maybe we're feeling insecure in our relationships or at work and we're seeing that reflected back at us in the mirror. I do know that if I'm in a bad place at work or with my SO then I do feel ugly. <br /><br />The biggest issue for me when this happens is spending money on the perfect outfit or the makeup that will solve all my skin woes. That's an expensive way to feel better and in the end doesn't solve the problem.<br /><br />I'm glad you wrote about this and feel your misery. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
