As much as I love fashion, beauty and makeup, I'm tired of the media portraying stick like models as everyday women. We come in all sizes and colors and we are all beautiful. In our lives, we will be loved and admired for how we look but may never realize it. We are too worried about losing weight or keeping up with the Jones'. I say, be who you are and never apologize. Love life and be an example for our youth. Carry the torch and show love and devotion to every level. Be proud if lipstick makes you feel good and be thankful if you realize you don't need the lipstick today because you already are beaming without it. Be happy because that is true beauty, real beauty.
