My Sister's Challenge to Me!

Hello! I'm back!

As you can probably tell my self improvement project has been a little lacking over the past couple of weeks - definitely in the blogging department! 
I was talking to my younger sister a couple of weeks ago, and told her about my project (I really haven't told many people, which is ironic as I am posting on the big world wide web!) 

Anyway, my sister said I am trying to do way too much all at once (I know, I know - I even said that!) but I find it really hard to choose which thing to do first and I really just want to do everything straight away. My sister has taken a far more realistic approach and rather authoratively told me that she will be setting me a challenge for two weeks. I am not allowed to focus on anything else I want to achieve, or be hard on myself if I don't do other things, apart from this one challenge. 

The challenge: 
To wear make-up ever day for two weeks,regardless of whether I was going to the gym, running late or just staying in doing the laundry!

This probably doesn't seem very difficult to someone that does this all the time - if you would have said this to me 18 months ago I would have said the same, but for whatever reason I have let myself go - hence the self improvement project! 

So on the search for the best version of myself I have now been proudly and happily wearing make-up every single day! Even when I went to the gym! My little confession here is that I actually really enjoyed this challenge and wearing make up. Weirdly (or not?) it has made me feel better about myself and even more confident - all it took is a little mascara, sometimes foundation and when I was feeling very motivated blusher and lipstick. I have actually had quite a few compliments over the past two weeks! 

I am really glad I completed my sisters challenge! More importantly I'm expecting to wear make-up tomorrow - just because I want to!  

Life Lesson tips: 
"Successful change is gradual, pick one little thing you want to change on a daily basis and do that one little thing every day for two weeks." 

You will feel proud when you have completed your challenge to yourself - who knows it may be a little thing that sticks!
