*Warning: Not the most thought-provoking post!*
So this is going to be a super silly post but I decided to share it anyway! I was recently discussing with friends about how I am tired of working so many hours but I need to to be able to buy the things I need, etc. What I didn't realize during that conversation was that some of these things that I 'needed' I don't necessarily need at all (so many hair products, make-up, etc)! There are certain beauty expectations that are out there for women that subconsciously a lot of women are following. Sometimes women are not even subconsciously doing it but because they feel like they have to!
7 Beauty Expectations That Make It Way Too Expensive To Be A Woman Link
1. Progressively more intense forms of hair removal
2. Luxury hair stylists
3. Quality makeup
4. Photoshop-level skin
5. Sexy shoes that are impossible to walk in
6. Classy-yet-cute-yet-durable work clothes
7. Sexy underwear
So I can't say that I can necessarily relate to all of these things but it is something that got me thinking about my expectations for myself and where those expectations came from. Anyway, if you have any thoughts please share!
This connects so well to Tina Fey's book we are reading right now. In the book she lists out what every woman needs to have to considered perfect and it's so funny and very true.
