Going Au Naturale

So for the past...forever...I have been struggling with having intensely dry, itchy, swollen, and bright red eyelids. I have basically tried every moisturizer known to man, and tried every method that I found that could possible help me. Some days I would wake up and my eyes would be so swollen and red that I was quite positive that I was probably Quasi Modo's twin. Or another morning when my eyelids are so incredibly fiery red that I told Gavin that I looked like a raccoon if they had red around their eyes instead. This week it finally got to the point where I finally broke down and saw a doctor. Unfortunately there is no real diagnosis for it, all I can do is be incredibly careful about what products I use. And one of the products the doctor told me not to use was my makeup! Heaven knows I love to put on makeup, and you know I don't put on like a ton, I just think it is fun to put on and I enjoy wearing it. But all this week I have been completely out of my comfort zone and have been hitting the town everyday with my face au naturale. After trying this out, I have decided that every girl should try this out every once and a while. Nowadays we all depend so much on makeup and artificial beauty and hardly ever simply give the original palette that God gave us a try. It is kind of this awesome confidence booster, that initially saves you a lot of time, because I never realized how much time I spend putting on my makeup until I wasn't putting it on anymore. And I have already noticed a difference in my eyelids, and honestly if maybe looking like a bum to the rest of the world will take me out of misery I will gladly oblige. And in the meantime I will enjoy the glorious free time I have gained in the mornings.

No more puffy redness!! And no more makeup.
