The Truth Is... YOU are beautiful, THEY are airbrushed

Of course we have all heard the saying, "Celebrities are airbrushed on the cover of magazines. You shouldn't beat yourself up for not looking like them." So yea, we all know it. No one is truly flawless, and while cameras can be brutal, the technology that can enhance the resulting images can be kind. We all know it, but sometimes are brains don't always factor in what we know. 


But I thought it would be nice to do this post, just as a reminder to all the naturally beautiful women out there, with maybe a pimple because of pms, or a wrinkle because of wisdom, or gray because between your boss, your kids, and your spouse, you don't have time (or the energy) to get to a colorist -- that hey, remember all of those "flaws" make you who you are, and that is truly beautiful. And if your kids and spouse ask you what you want for Christmas, tell them that Madonna's airbrusher for the family holiday photo would totally rock.
