embracing


Yes, embracing the fact that with summer excludes little details like mascara and hair spray.  Not that my make-up regime is that intense any other time of the year, but in summer the whole gamut is thrown out with the pool water.
Embracing the fact that sweaty, foundation-less, sun screened skin can still be pretty and that's as good as it's gettin' right now, folks.
And embracing the wardrobe of sundress and a bathing suit...for 3 months.
I'll take it.
I wouldn't trade this wardrobe for all the cool career credentials in the world.
It's my world, it's simple, but I'm embracing it.

Love this, "I wouldn't trade this wardrobe for all the cool career credentials in the world." I needed to hear that today. Now that the sun is finally out and the rain has stopped I need to slip on my own sundress and embrace the day with my girls.

I will echo the previous comment...finally the sun is out and the rain has stopped. Praise GOD. Maybe it's possible to start pulling out a sundress. You are gorgeous makeup or not. Holy cow!

Fondly,
Glenda
