It feels good to have a clean no makeup face especially during the summer when my whole face feels like it‘s melting off! I have been learning to love myself no makeup and all natural. It‘s tough when you have pressure from all sides to be perfect and look perfect! But step one to being beautiful and being comfortable in your own skin . Loving yourself and your flaws! That‘s what makes you beautiful from the inside out ! #bfc @wanderinglynn

britt_brooke Beautiful! 5y
DaveGreen7777 Rachel, you are beautiful in every way! 😊 Your face, your heart, your spirit, your mind, your soul, all radiate such beauty in everything you do! You are always so kind, always using your time and energy to inspire others and offer them encouragement. Your friendship is a true blessing, and you always brighten the days of everyone fortunate enough to know you! 🤗 5y

wanderinglynn Beautiful and such a great smile! ❤️ I personally don‘t believe in perfect because there‘s no such thing. It‘s a subjective standard that is unachievable. And even if it was, who would want to achieve it anyway—boring! Humans are all flawed, but it‘s our flaws, our imperfections, our scars (both visible & invisible) that make us the amazing, interesting individuals we are. And we are all wonderful and beautiful and worthy. 5y

MaleficentBookDragon You are so lovely and your hair is fantastic. I haven't been able to wear makeup for 20 years (VERY allergic). It's been tough but very freeing. I feel the same about letting my hair go completely gray (it started when I was 16). 5y
erzascarletbookgasm 👋 there! And well said! 5y

Meaw_catlady @JoScho it really is! But one step at a time we can make it and crush down all those stereotypes and generalizations that are surrounding us and come out on the other side as the beautiful unicorn we are :) 🦄 5y

So, I'm not doing the #bookfitnesschallenge (though I need to start!), but I have loved seeing the #nofilter #nomakeup selfies & decided to jump on the bandwagon! However, this is NOT before coffee. 😉 #nothingbeforecoffee

Mehso-so

This was almost a 👎🏻for me. A lot of teenage drama and overused character drives like the alcoholic mum and cut off dad, and it wasn't done the best. This may be good for younger readers just starting in the #YA genre

2.5 ⭐️

Dracula isn't grabbing my full attention at the moment and I'm struggling to stay interested.

Picking this up in the mean time to get me out of my little slump #YA
