No Make Up....No Confidence?


 Being a beauty blogger/vLogger has its perks but there are also some things that people think we do that are generally not true. Some people think that Beauty blogger/vloggers have perfect skin, lots of money, and has a perfect life. 


Well you are wrong. 

Not all beauty blogger/vlogger have perfect skin or a platinum credit card ready at their disposal to buy the latest make up collection. Beauty blogger and vloggers alike are just like anyone else - we are human. Some of us are more fortunate that they are able to buy items that other people can't. 

This also goes with make up. Some people think that just because you are a beauty blogger means that you wear make up 24/7 - not true. 


If you do watch my vlogs you would see that I rarely wear full on make up at work. I simply think that make up is there to enhance our natural beauty - not to hide what we naturally have. 

A lot of girls nowadays suffer from lack of confidence, I won't lie that I sometimes feel insecure towards my looks and think little of myself. That is pretty much how I felt a couple of years back. I didn't think I was pretty enough or slim enough to get a chance to meet great people and experience great adventures. Luckily, I was able to get out of that phase.

I had a big issue with myself back then, I still have it but I am trying to be a better me everyday.  


I still have an issue with my weight. I know its a petty one but being fat almost all your life is pretty depressing. But now I have accepted myself and I am trying my best to be better in life: to have a healthier life. 

The reason I made this post is from JlovesMac video about confidence. You can check the video here. A lot of girls, especially those that have skin problems turn to make up to hide their insecurities but without make up, they feel naked and insecure. 

To those ladies that think having no make up means having no confidence in yourself, you are beautiful just the way that you are. You don't need make up to meet other people and experience great company, you just need to be yourself for them to see who you really are. Make up can be wiped off and washed away but confidence comes within. 

Just like Rihanna said in Diamonds

Shine bright like a diamond...

Because you are. 

Me and  my gorgeous colleagues 

Much Love!

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
