When did it start happening for you?
I remember when I was 6 and told my mom that I thought I was fat.
Thanks to my mom, who is one of the most real women I know, that was the first real memory I have of learning about self-worth.
Then I think I was around the age of 10 the first time I begged my mom to let me wear make up. I watched my sisters get ready in the morning and wanted nothing more than to be as beautiful as they were. Oh boy, I would coat the glittery lip gloss and double-layer the shimmer on my eyes every chance I could get.

I just wasn't pretty enough -- yet -- but with that make up, I could feel bold and beautiful and worthy.
How wrong is that?
I watched this video today and was hooked (and horrified) within the first ten seconds. Even if you aren't participating in the Audrey Hepburn thirty-day challenge, take one day this week and participate in the Barefaced and Beautiful campaign. Remind yourself what the lip gloss and shimmer will always be missing out on -- authentic and real beauty.
