I decided I love:
my eyelashes,
my fingernails,
and my butt.
I do not like trying to take pictures of them with a phone. The flash on the first is deliberate to obscure my features; you can see almost the entire dorm room in the fingernails photo; the angle I tried at first made my butt look rounder, which wasn't really my point.
I mostly had to accept compliments on Friday, since I wore make-up for an interview. (People will comment when you do something above the usual to look nice.) I accepted it because I'm proud of my make-up skills, and I tried something new. The main color on my eyes is one I've only used for evening looks and I was happy I could adapt it to a day look. (Metallic emerald is not a standard day color by any means.)
I usually try to compliment my friends, but I ramped it up. And yes, many of my compliments got brushed off. I just have to keep to it until they believe me.
I still need to work on my self-image but I loved hearing everyone else's stories and hope we keep to the tenets of the challenge even though Body Image Week is over.
Your booty is very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It took me awhile to love it (and I begin to hate it quite often when shopping for pants), so I thought it perfect to re-appreciate it this week.
ReplyDeleteNice butt! And I also might just perish with fingernail envy...
ReplyDeletecute butt...these posts have been interesting. I'm pretty happy with my body image, except the stomach region, which puffed out since I got married...so we are working out on Wii fit...to get back in shape.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun way to post your results. You are beautiful! ;)
ReplyDeleteI love my fingernails too!
ReplyDeleteGreat results post! So nice to hear a young woman say they love things about their bodies - so often in my dance classes I hear my students complain about themselves (one of the pitfalls of hanging around a) other dancers and b) a room full of mirrors!).
ReplyDeleteYou are so lovely! And what gorgeous eyelashes!
ReplyDeleteGood choices! I like my eyelashes, too. :)
ReplyDelete@NotNessie: Thanks! When I was a little girl, I thought long, painted nails looked so pretty. I grew mine long because I didn't understand they were fake! Oddly, I prefer not to paint them.
ReplyDelete@Serena: Thank you. And keep it up, if only because Wii Fit is fun!
@Aubrey: Thanks. I love to take photos.
@Lenore: Yay! I can't find many people who really like fingernails . . .
@Leigh: It doesn't help that you're wearing a leotard and tights in a room full of mirrors! I always disliked that my hips and thighs were bigger than the other girls - no way to hide that! (Okay, so I wore a skirt when I was on my period.)
@babygirlG: Thanks! I got them from my dad.
@Mari: Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYou have absolutely gorgeous eyelashes. If there were such a thing as an eyelash model, you would most definitely be one! I'm sure you never have to wear mascara, huh? (:
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I really should try to do that myself.
ReplyDelete@Bookworm: Thank you! I do wear mascara with some eyeshadows that have a tendency to get on the eyelashes - it redarkens them. But I use a very basic kind. If I use the fancy lengthener stuff I end up looking like Minnie Mouse.
ReplyDelete@Insert Book Title Here: Everyone should do it!
You have very pretty eyelashes lol. I'm quite fond of my eyes (thank you mom and great-grandma!).
