I like tags. And I like honest tags.

This is an honest tag.

I tag you.

Bye.

1. Do you feel different with make up on or off?

I feel really different with my make up off. I'm super insecure about my black circles under my eyes (I've had them for my whole life) and somedays they make me look like I have two big ol' black eyes. Using make up, specifically concealer, to cover up these imperfections makes me feel so much better and it gives me that confidence boost that nothing else will. Wearing a full face of make up doesn't really make me feel any ~different~ but it is really fun to apply. Just to clarify, I don't need a full face of make up to feel confident, rather I just really really need concealer to feel that way. ok.

2. To you is inner beauty or outer beauty more important? 

Inner beauty, duh. Seriously. Like the saying goes, you can't judge a book by its cover. Some of the most beautiful people I've ever met have also been the worst. In saying that, I know some beautiful people who radiate their beauty inside and out. 

Roald Dahl summed this up pretty well in his book "The Twits": 

"A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely."

No amount of make up will ever conceal an ugly soul. Be kind.

3. Do you prefer inner or outer beauty? 

Based on the previous answer, I prefer inner beauty. 

4. What’s real beauty to you? 

Real beauty is having a good, kind heart. We all have our bad days & that's what makes us human, but finding people who are able to overcome their shortcomings and only look on the bright side are truly beautiful. Having gratitude and humility also falls into this. It's important to always remember where you came from and never, ever forgetting that. 

5. What makes you feel beautiful? 

This question should be rephrased to 'Who makes you feel beautiful' and I would have to say my husband. He makes me feel like the only woman on the planet with his love. I love it when he calls me beautiful because I know he really means it... especially when I'm wearing no make up, wearing my old pj shirt, his basketball shorts and ugly socks with my hair in the highest bun possible. That's love.
