But . . . I like all my creams and ointments and serums. And I LOVE my make up! I think that's okay. No one dolled me up when I was a child. I was raised with frequent assurances from my mother that my skin was pretty, and my appearance was validated almost as much as my test scores and talents. I watched my grandmother and learned to give myself a mani/pedi; I watched my mother and learned to put on make up and style my hair. I watched my cousins and learned to study hard. I do not see anything wrong with a balance.
I've spent my entire life being told I'd be "beautiful if I only did ____." My mother has been obsessed with my appearance my entire life.
