Something to Think About

"Since I was 3 years old, I have been using makeup. I am more than a "makeup junkie", I am an obsessed fiend! I spend my time making youtube makeup tutorials, when I should be doing my homework or going out. Makeup is my life. Its my art."

A quote I found off a contest site where girls submit pictures of themselves with make-up and the winner takes home $1000 worth of make-up.

I get the thrill of make-up. I too like playing up my features or creating a different look on days where I have a different mood.

But does anyone find it ridiculous when girls have been using it since they were toddlers? Shouldn't little girls be playing outdoors instead of trying to be beautiful? Why can't we set better examples of traits that girls should be instead of just "pretty"?

If I ever have a baby girl, I'm going to make sure she grows up to be someone of substance. Someone who is known for being kind and noble instead of "pretty" and "popular". Someone who is known more for her brains than the brands of clothes she wears.

I hope I'm like that in other people's eyes. If not now, you'll begin to see a big change in me soon.
