Girls all over the world go through a ridiculous routine and waste so much time on things that are merely superficial.We plaster coats of makeup on our face, fry our hair with curling irons and straighteners, tan our skin, etc. etc., and for what? So that we may feel confident for a few hours, only to return home to take it all off so that we can do it all over again tomorrow. Realizing this, I presented myself with a question: Why should I have to go through this routine every single day in order to feel okay about myself? It's not like I enjoy waking up at 6AM to do it. What am I even getting out of this?
The Radiance Project is my personal self esteem project. The object is to walk out of my house every day feeling attractive, happy with myself and fearless of criticism. In order to do this, I have one small task to do every day: Nothing. I'll wake up every morning and take a shower, brush my teeth and that's it. No makeup. No flat iron. No curling iron. No styling products, hair spray, teeth whitening - nothing.
Confidence is achieved by your opinion of yourself, inside and out. If I feel good about myself as a person, I can too feel great in my own skin. The object is to take away the superficial objects that distract me and focus on being the best person I can be. Radiance from the inside out.
