This Is Me: Why I Took Pictures Without Makeup

I'm sharing what inspired me to take pictures without makeup and why I'm oh so glad I did it…….

Thank you to Olay for sponsoring this post and for inspiring me to take pictures of myself in the raw.

I'm sharing what inspired me to take pictures without makeup and why I'm oh so glad I did it.......Can we talk about the masks we wear?  From tailored clothes to perfect hair to (for me) impeccably applied makeup.  We all have our shields.  Things that make us feel more confident and more comfortable.  And the older I get, I realize…..there is nothing WRONG with those things.  I love clothes, I love makeup, and I love a great blow out.  But, I don't NEED them.  Or so I thought.  But I'm not going to lie…….putting these pictures on the internet makes me a little nervous.

Makeup is definitely my shield.  Bathing Suits? I'm pretty cool with those pictures being all over the place (you can read more about THAT experience HERE).  But makeup? Y'all seeing me without it still makes me cringe a little.  I love makeup, I own a ton, and I wear it just about everyday.  I can contour with the best of em, and I RARELY go out in public without at least penciling in my brows and adding some mascara to my lashes.

Yes, I talk on Instagram Stories without makeup all the time.  But that? Disappears after 24 hours.  And these pictures? They're clearly not going anywhere.  Which is exactly why I was so inspired to take them.  While I love a great made up face, the older I get…..it's important to me to celebrate my appearance just as it is.

A few weeks back, I decided to ask you guys for any less expensive skincare or makeup products that you LOVED.  And the answer? Over and over again, Olay Whips.  You guys are OBSESSED.  And when I saw the stellar price point for Olay Whips Face Moisturizer, I decided to give it a shot. It’s a lightweight moisturizer and a primer in one product, so I figured I'd save money if I loved it.  Plus, I LOVE that it has spf built in…..so I can literally wear this and nothing else on no makeup days.  I grabbed a package of the product on a quick Target run, and tested it out for a couple days.  Y'all, I'm IMPRESSED.  It kept my skin moisturized without being shiny.  It absorbed perfectly, and left my skin looking healthy.  So healthy in fact, that Olay Whips is ALL I'm wearing on my face in these pictures.

So what do you think? Would YOU take pictures without any makeup on?

I'm sharing what inspired me to take pictures without makeup and why I'm oh so glad I did it.......Whether you're taking makeup free portraits, or just hitting the beach with a bare face…….Olay Whips will help you skin look it's best (and it has spf, a total necessity)!

✨One of my favorite spots on the Disney Wish? The Bayou Lounge.  It’s stunning.  Perfectly detailed, ornate and plush and feels like……..a place you’d love to sit and sip on something fabulous.  There is live music in the evenings, there are beignets all day, and fancy drinks too.  It’s perfect for….one of my favs.

✨Is she one of your favorites too? (ps swipe for an iconic appearance)

💦 I had to: full Disney Wish Aquamouse report 💦

For research purposes…..since anything that combines Disney and bathing suits is a requirement in my book.

Scroll to see my ride cam and reactions (and a sneak peak at Disney’s first attraction at sea).

Is it scary? No. 
Will kids like it? Yes.
Will adults like it? Yes.
Is it adorable? 100% yes.

Now…..would you ride the Aquamouse? Drop a yes or no in the comments.

<hosted by Disney> I had ONE thing I wanted to do during our day at Epcot before we sail away for the Christening of the Disney Wish tomorrow.  And it lived up to every expectation I had. ⠀
⠀
Seriously, this ride is a magical addition to the parks (and I know WDW people it’s not new to you but it was new to us Disneylanders…..I’m SO glad I didn’t watch ride spoilers beforehand……it was so fun to experience it this way!)⠀
⠀
So, if you had to pick ONE thing to do at Walt Disney World….what would your priority be? Now I have to know (and why is it something Epcot related).⠀
