She dared us...

Okay, odd post I know, but Crystal over at Little Bit Funky dared us to show ourselves without makeup. Crystal did a wonderful post yesterday about vanity and about we as women learning to appreciate ourselves as we are. God made us all beautiful in some way. I am not much of a makeup wearer so this wasn't too much of a stretch for me. I did feel some hesitation about the pic, but nothing too major. I have a mother and a sister who both allow themselves 4 HOURS, yes I said 4 HOURS of time each morning to "do their faces". To this day it boggles my mind why they do it! OMG, the things I can get accomplished in 4 hours. Anyhoo, to each his own. I still love them and pray that some day they'll realize they are beautiful just as they are...
