About relationships with looks
I always wanted to be “beautiful without effort” like Lara from Doctor Zhivago, but this is hardly about me. But with some effort, I am quite pleased with myself. I am twenty-three years old, and I just recently learned how to relate to what is habitually considered to be disadvantages. I went through a difficult teenage period with various changes in appearance (skin inflammation, braces) and concomitant body aversion. There would be an opportunity to turn to my own teenager, I would advise less to worry and learn more - the parents said that, but I am a stubborn person, unfortunately.
About sport
At sixteen, I was obsessed with sports: after school I went to the gym and spent several hours there. It seemed that losing weight - that's when he was alive! Now I am very far from this position, I have only my passion for yoga - I know which exercises are useful for me, which breathing practices calm me down. I try to study at home when I have time and desire, I walk a lot on foot, sometimes in silence and alone, just to bring the mood of thoughts in order. In general, the best physical education - dancing.
About care
Unfortunately, the rash has not completely disappeared so far, but I do not expect a miracle: I always wash off makeup, several times a week I make masks, in general, nothing extraordinary. My skin reacts badly to stress and chocolate - I try to avoid them. I go to the beautician for mechanical cleansing: even though they have little pleasant, it helps me a lot. True, heals all a few days, but then the skin becomes much better. I noticed that the less I worry about because of my "imperfection", the easier it is to change something for the better, and this concerns not only self-care.
I always had wavy and very thick hair, and I did not immediately learn how to handle it. I always dreamed about straight strands, like my girlfriends, and they admired mine - as it usually happens. The most unfortunate decision in my case is to simply comb and dry the hair, then they become very fluffy and look inaccurate. I dry them so that the waves are uniform, and after that I do not comb; but straightening still seems to me the simplest and tidy solution.
About make-up
I started to paint early, partly because of my skin condition. There were different periods: shades of foundation, which I obviously chose not with open eyes, very thin eyebrows, a lot of cosmetics in principle. Now I try to make both tone and eyebrows more natural. Masha Vorslav (subscribed to all her channels in the telegraph and accounts on instagram) inspired me to treat makeup as entertainment, and not the way to hide something. Now I can draw colored arrows or an asterisk on my cheek - first of all for myself, but I like the reaction of other people. I rarely go without makeup, but for me it is a daily pleasure. On experiments in make-up pushes new cosmetics, but I try to limit myself - I know that I have long had everything I need, and even more.
