My Eyelashes

I've been overweight since maybe Sophomore year of high school, and I tend to beat myself up and not have a very positive image of myself. There are two things I really DO like about myself that has never changed. One, my hair. I've always taken pride in my hair. I'm very particular about who touches my hair with scissors or color. I'm very proud I've grown it out as long as I have, and that it's the healthiest it's ever been.

The second thing is my eyelashes. I've been blessed with some lovely long, curled lashes and this is something I'm thankful for and something that gives me just a little boost of confidence when I need it. This week has been a struggle both food wise and realizing how out of shape I actually am at Camp Gladiator.

I've been making sure my eyelashes look especially good, long, curled and fluttery. No clumps. Clumps are bad people.

Some might consider this narcissistic and that's fine. But I'm going to take my confidence boosts where I can get them. And this morning, it was this picture. I went with minimal eyeshadow and less dramatic eyeliner and just made sure my lashes were long and pretty =) Sometimes it's the little things that get you through.
