Make up

Who’d have thought it could do so much?

Millions of women wear make up daily, weekly, monthly, yearly.

Me?

Only when absolutely necessary.

Why?

Actually, I’m not 100% sure. I only know that it changes me; makes me someone I don’t, wholly in my heart, know.

Silly, I know.

It makes me think more of myself, more of who I would like to be, daily.

When I look at myself in the mirror, after applying even a modicum of makeup, the woman that reflects herself to me is, actually

Quite amazing; nice looking, even if I say it myself. A bit heavy, but not too much for her age. Happy, for the most part; no longer ambitious.

I can smile at the woman in the mirror, and she smiles back at me.

When I apply foundation, rouge, mascara- look out! She is unstoppable.

Be very careful of the cosmetics you use daily, weekly, etc. They can change your life forever.

More power to you.

Until next we meet, stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash, cover, and protect yourselves.
