one thing- it never hurts to put a little makeup on too. It makes you feel beautiful, i say this as i sold Avon and Mary Kay for awhile and a little touch up brings a little joy with it too. not to say we all need makeup, but it's fun to be around other women who build us up too. I recently had a friend call me and she was going on and on about how pretty she thought i was that i felt like a princess when i got off the phone with her. I am humble but wear make up and was also brought up in an Irish Catholic family, and rarely wore makeup until i was older. I am happy you feel good about yourself.
