Makeup at the Gym?
Tuesday May 26, 2009
In the June issue of Allure, editor Linda Wells shares that she refuses to go to spin class without mascara on. Inevitably, the mascara ends up giving her raccoon eyes by the end of class. At least she admits this makes no sense.
Linda goes on to tell how her OB wanted Linda to call her immediately when she went into labor with each of her two sons, so she would have time to blow out her hair! The OB's explanation: I'm not greeting a newborn with bed head."Ladies, let's be real about this. There are a few times that you don't need to worry about how you look. Spin class and delivering a baby are definitely two of 'em!

While I’m all about putting your best face forward, there are times (like labor!) when getting all gussied up just isn’t feasible. Plus, aren’t women advised to not wear makeup while exercising because it can clog pores? Obviously not mascara but why even bother when you’re going to get all sweaty??
I think it is so important for women to love themselves unconditionally at all times. Who you are is not the visual presentation you display to the world. Who you are is what’s on the inside. That’s all that matters. Vanity can never replace what resides in your heart.
