Hello!
We’ve all been
there… Plucking our eyebrows way too much, popping zits, being too tanned,
messing up our hair trying to get the right colour ourselves, etc. I know I’ve
made a whole bunch of these mistakes, but at least I’m not alone and it gives
me a fair dosage of comfort. Nevertheless, in order to minimize the number of
people going through all these horrors, I’ve put together a list of NOs for all
girls to read and get the chance to prevent certain disasters instead of having
to mend them.
Eyebrows
or no brows?
This is
something that every girl must have been through. It’s so mysterious, as you
pluck your eyebrows, they’re never equal which leads to you having to “fix” the
other one. After that, the results are the same. Then you think
“Yeah, I could make them just a bit thinner by plucking the first one again”.
After a certain repetition of the steps, you suddenly realize you basically
have no eyebrows whatsoever! It happened to me many times and, unfortunately,
once right before I had to get my picture taken for my ID. That picture still
stands as a constant reminder that having a bit more hair on one brow than the
other is much better than no hair on either.
Undergoing
surgery
Nowadays,
girls grow up watching reality TV and their idols are mostly women that
consider plastic surgery to be just a regular part of their monthly routine.
This is why many young girls dream of undergoing procedures such as hair
removal and liposuction in order to fix their problems. There’s absolutely no
need to undergo surgery. I opted for a simple non-surgical liposuction in Melbourne,
since it’s close to my hometown, Sydney. The procedure is less invasive than
surgical liposuction and it gives great results. This is why I’m personally
very supportive of the method.
Got
to love that burnt skin
The issue of being tanned is very
popular among girls with various natural skin tones. For instance, I have very
light skin and therefore, I’m very self-conscious about my tan and I try to keep my summer tan as long as I can with
the help of various skin products and light towel tapping in order to dry my
skin after showering. However, sometimes I go to a tanning salon and get an
easy fix. Anyway, there were times I burnt my skin and times I went too far and
got a much darker tan than my natural one, which was not only unappealing, but
also seriously unhealthy for my skin.
Stress
manifests as a form of self-mutilation
Biting
nails, popping zits, aggressively removing scabs and other habits people have
for dealing with stress are very widespread and zit-popping was mine. You
shouldn’t do it. It won’t help the stress, it will only increase it since
you’ll be having a problem with your appearance in addition to the problem
you’ve had before.
Hopefully, some of you will read
this and learn from the ones that have already made these mistakes. However,
don’t obsess about perfection. Everybody fails in all aspects of their lives,
even the best of us. It’s necessary and completely natural. That is why we can
relax knowing that sometimes it will happen to us, too, and that’s OK.
Nevertheless, we can and should still strive for perfection. Read, watch and
educate yourself as much as you can in order to minimize the number of mistakes
and try to be the best version of yourself.
