Dark Lipstick

Sometimes people want to confine us to the image they have of us, but that’s neither fair nor practical especially when that image is not in sync with your self-image. For example, someone may tell you that the lipstick you’re wearing is too dark and doesn’t suit you, or is not suitable for your complexion! Like seriously???? Where do they get off telling you what lip colour to put on?

As a woman, while its important to know which colours suit your complexion, there’s no harm in trying out new things that may actually suit you more than what someone else prescribed as ideal.

Beyond lip colour, I wanted to encourage you to be confident in yourself, go after what you feel is right for you and own it! Be comfortable in your own skin by owning your choices and the decisions you make as you exercise your God-given right of choice.

We all make our choices, including choosing not to choose – that’s also a choice hey! Remember that it may not always be possible to balance your right to make choices with the expectations or opinions of others, especially those that are close to you. However, that should not hinder you from making the choices you need to make.

Striking a balance in any given situation may be challenging and may not always be immediately possible, but it surely is possible and may require patience. At times that may mean agreeing to disagree, shifting your focus or perception, accepting, or rather, acknowledging the other person’s point of view. Bottom line is #balanceispossible😉

So, how do you #findbalance in the various situations life throws your way? Is it always possible to strike that balance? Do share your thoughts in the Comments section below, and thank you for taking the time to read through.
