Do whatever makes YOU happy

This
post is fuelled by something that happened to me last night which, if
I'm honest, was pretty ridiculous and rather silly. But it got me
thinking...
So,
I've only ever faked tanned once very recently as a kind of
experiment. And I intend to review the product (it's the Bondi Sands
range for anyone interested :P). I'm not unhappy with my very fair,
porcelain skin, but I thought it would be nice to try tanning as a
temporary change for the summer months where I want to get my legs
out. I applied it last night for the second time, and as you will
probably know, the guide colour is usually a lot darker. On my face
it did look a bit muddy and bright. I KNOW. I know that it looks
different from when you first apply it to when you wash it off.
Anyway, I bumped into a couple of my guy house-mates and they
instantly just started taking the mick about how I looked. I was so
upset and annoyed I went upstairs and washed it off only after 1 hour
of application instead of sleeping in it which is what I intended.
After I calmed down and got over what they said, I thought about it and got more angry at myself. Why did I wash it off? It is what I wanted not them! I had wasted time and effort and money applying the product only to have to wash it off and not have it work just because of some stupid comments made at me!
DO
WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY.
If you want to be pale? BE PALE. If you want to be tanned? BE TANNED. If you want to dye your hair all the colours of the rainbow. GO AHEAD. As long as it is what YOU want. If what you want to do is sensible, healthy and not going to harm yourself or others around you then nobody should stop you from doing what you want for yourself. Don't let people put you down or make you do things because that's what they want. Don't take other people's comments to heart and let that influence your decision, especially about how you look and want to look! Don't change the way you look because you think it will impress someone else if it's not what YOU want.
Ahhh glad I got that off my chest. Be happy people! ♥

Don't worry, they're not cruel, they just didn't realise they had taken it too far and upset me. But once they found out they apologised :) but yes you should always do what you want despite what people think/say. Thanks for the comment :)
