I was never one to take pictures of myself or even worse to let others take pictures of me. I have a really HUGE complex about my self image and it is so darn hard to shake it off. I KNOW that I shouldn't and I KNOW that it is all in my head.. I KNOW that All the little things I hate about myself are what make me, ME!! I know all this in my head, but there is that piece of me that just can't let it go.. Pictures are permanent and they capture only one split second of time, and to me they ALWAYS capture me at my worst!! ALWAYS! No matter how many shots I take or how many poses that I do!! When I take photos of myself, I can control which ones to keep and which ones to show to others (to an extent)!! But ... When others wanna take the pictures, That scares the holy crap right out of me!! There is only one shot to get it right and I have NO control over where that photo will be or who will see it! So I always say NO!! That is hard for others to understand that I feel that way, but I do and that part will probably never change. I know other people blame society or past relationships or even family. And I'm sure that some of that may have a tiny part in it for me BUT... I can't put blame on anyone else for my chickenshitness! I am the one who has done this to myself! I am the one that sees the horrible way I look when others only just see me being me! I am the only one who can change that and I have started to do just that! :) Thanks to YOUNIQUE!!!
I have become more and more brave at taking and sharing selfies of myself. Yes, I still snap a few ( to find a "good" one), but not as many as I used to! I have shared more photos this past year then I ever would have!! I also have been doing videos for my products to get the word out about how to use them and how darn awesome they are. AND That is totally out of my comfort zone too!! But Younique has helped me gain a little confidence in myself in order to be able to do those kind of things! Now that I have a team of beauties on this Younique journey with me, I have to step out of my own comfort zones in order to help them be able to do the same thing. The makeup has also helped me as well. and not because I'm putting a shit ton of makeup on to cover anything up and not because I think only makeup can make you look great! Because that is not how I see it! Yes, the makeup looks great on me and yes, I do have a few blemishes that need a little tlc. but when I wear makeup I feel great because I took the time to pamper myself a little, it's fun and that me time is sometimes just what women need to help them feel more confident! Younique has helped me in so many ways and for that I am forever grateful!
