There’s a lot of societal expectations for women, and often we totally understandably end up meeting them cos we feel we have to. They also sometimes just don’t happen for us. What’s one you’re glad you didn’t meet?

    I quit wearing makeup around 30. I went lighter, and lighter until I just dont wear it. Putting on mascara is all I do, maybe three times a year for a social event, but that is it.

    I have some hydrochloric acid, I think it is, the little blue container from Neutrogena, to help with dry skin, but that is the extent of my skincare routine. My skin is almost always clear and perfect.

    I put foundation or cover up on my face once, and I run the risk of breaking out.

    Staying out that cycle has made me a happy lady with more money/time for other things. I’m ageing fine.

    One thing I was always jealous of men for, they wake up throw on pants and walk out the door. Well, I be like that now too. Love it, and I could never go back.

    I also don’t hate on women who like it either, but I definitely prefer no makeup myself.
