No Make up = Happy Face, Happy Bank Account, Happy Fiance

I'm trying this new thing out. Well, it's not really new. I was a lifeguard for 4 years, so I had an excuse during the summers not to wear make up. My face was super tan and healthy looking and make up would have been wasted in the chlorine-infested water of the Provo, UT and Bakersfield, CA public swimming pools. (Which I shouldn't complain about too much because the chemicals in those pools did wonders to clear up my face)

But now, I just don't want to wear make up because I don't want to keep buying new stuff every month. If I only wear it on Sundays for church, it lasts a lot longer. Now, mascara, as a general rule, should be replaced every month. That is okay, since I use the green/pink Maybelline one in Blackest Black and it's only 4 bucks. But I don't want to spend $50-100 every month on face make up.

I think my face is starting to forgive me already from years of MAC make up abuse.

Maybe this will also help me have a healthy wedding-day glow.

P.S. Everyone should put on SPF 45 sunscreen EVERYDAY even if you are outside for just a total of 5 minutes. I got the continuous-spray sunscreen because I like it best. Go spend $7 at Target and save your life. And the lives of your unborn children.

5 people have something to say about this:

"and the lives of your unborn children." HILARIOUS.
I'm a HUGE believer in sunscreen--it's so important.

and kudos on the no makeup. i think it's a great idea--especially for summer.

Yes, but I've seen your face without makeup. Mine doesn't look so good...

Since you're a super gorgeous movie star, I'm pretty sure you could wear a feed sack and be OK.
