Face Your Fears

Since this is a beauty blog, although we will grapple with inner beauty as well, I will start with the most dramatic change to my appearance. I have had my hair just about every color aside from very unnatural colors. Recently I was advised I should dye my hair black. I adamantly disagreed, "black is way to harsh," I exclaimed. Yet admittedly, I could not be more please with the results. Not only is it new and daring which I love, it has given me much more freedom with color than I perceived to have before. I was going from red to black, and YES I did it at home MYSELF lol!!! Bravery or stupidity?! Nevertheless as I said I couldn't be happier with the result.

The true purpose of this post is to reveal that although at the time I was unwilling to admit it, dying my hair black was my final declaration that I was tired of living in fear and ready to step outside of my comfort zone. I am willing to risk failure to reach for my dreams and aspirations. I have lived a very safe, monochromatic life that I am not longer willing to settle for. Not only have I decided to embrace my sexuality, yes I am a lesbian, but I am ready to become the woman I am meant to be! So if it takes drastically changing your appearance or just wearing a great shade of lipstick, be you 100%!

You are worth it,  I am worth it and don't let anyone or anything hold you back!!!
