So from the get-go we can all agree I suck at meditation, and failed miserably in my attempt to gain a more enlightened life this month.
I did succeed however in not succumbing to the lure of the paint-box aka my make-up kit for a whole 31 days. Although admittedly I know on three occasions when I may have had a sneaky swipe of the mascara over the top lashes but like I said at the start there's not wearing make up and then there's looking dead....
Funnily enough I missed it. Not so much the act of putting it on - my mornings are infinitely better without standing in front of the mirror for 20 minutes - but the way it makes you feel. Especially my eye make-up. I can happily go without the foundation, blush, bronzer and the like but I have missed the added sparkle in my eye that can only be seen through thick, open lashes and a spattering of eye shadow.
Plus I really do look tired without it.
I also realised that no one really seemed to notice the change and I'm still not sure whether that's a good thing or not. I guess the best way to tell will be when I'm back in at work tomorrow with my "game face" on.
All in all I found it a frankly refreshing experience and one that I do think I'll continue on some level: until the next night out anyway!
