I started a #silverhairredlips challenge on Instagram recently because I find the color combination of gray hair and red lipstick to be a winning combination.
Well, my authentic self likes makeup and hair products, and all sorts of unnatural things. And when I get questioned about my choices, it bums me out. Why? Because I’m a tired woman.
Human beings are not perfect. What fun would it be living in a rigid world where everybody got into lockstep with everyone else? I don’t want to live in that world! I like complex people, not automatons.
My lipstick love affair started when I was a young girl.I remember getting kisses from grandparents, aunts, and church ladies and ending up with red or coral or pink lip prints on my cheek.
The past few years have been difficult. We’ve had to battle serious illnesses, financial difficulties, wildfires, and the relentless, depressing news cycle.
My blog is a no-judgment zone. If you decide you want to go back to coloring your hair, go for it! Do you hate makeup? That’s your right and more power to you!
