Let's just be nice...

So for some reason this last week I have noticed a couple of posts on facebook and Pinterest on how people do things. One is a picture of a woman they say is from utah and has large poofy hair. 

Here is the first picture...


Sadly this is how I fix my hair. I don't think it's as extreme but I like my hair poofy and to have some volume. If only people understood how fine my hair is they then might understand why I tease my hair.  

Here I am with my poofiness!! 


More poof pulled back...haha


I chose this pic because you can really see the poof because I'm turned to the side. 


I really try not to have an extreme poof but hey...I LIKE MY POOF!!!! leave it alone. : ) Like my cousin has said in her comment...This is me laughing it off... by explaining why I do it...in a way. : )



Here is the next picture on facebook... 

The explanation said: "Mascara Madness" Well first I don't think this person understood that Mascara goes on your eyes so this is probably an eyebrow pencil madness if that's what he wants to call it. 


Again...Sad day...I totally color in my eyebrows. They are so blonde you can barely see them. 


 Here I am with absolutely no makeup on! See...you can barely see my eyebrows. I don't think I have crazy arches like those pictures do but really people!! That's basically making fun of anybody that does this...maybe not intentionally but if it could possibly BE hurtful...WHY DO IT?! 



I believe we have the choice to be offended...So I am choosing to not take offense. Now I'm not saying i'm perfect and have never done something hurtful but I'm trying to make a point...putting stuff up on Facebook, pinning something on interest for all to see can be hurtful so why do it?! Why do we have to have a mean side to us? Maybe they weren't even trying to be mean...but really...the poor lady in the first picture is probably now famous because she was made fun of for her big hair on Facebook! 

My new goal...Think about what I post on Facebook/instagram/ twitter/ blogs whatever and ask myself if it could be hurtful to somebody else. Even if I am not purposefully trying to be hurtful...I need to think about it before I do it. 

That's the end of my speech lecture whatever you want to call it.

  4. Couldn't agree more on the eyebrows! Mine are blonde, thin, and invisible. I don't think I even have enough to have them professionally died. Hopefully one day no eyebrows will be in style :)
