Beauty-full Tuesday: Melissa of Write it in Lipstick

Beautiful is as beautiful does, meet Melissa of Write it In Lipstick

After I had children, I was introduced to a new body.  At times I look in the mirror and compare myself to what I used to look like.   But I know my children don’t care if my skinny jeans fit, or if I’m wearing lipstick, or if my hair is done.  They love me because I kiss their “ouchie” away, because I make them smile when they are sad.   Their love makes me feel happy, special, beautiful.

To me beauty isn’t something you possess, it is something you create.  Beauty is making a positive difference, even a little one.  In the end no one will remember what type of shoe you wore, they will only remember the beauty you created for them. Smile at a neighbor, open the door for a co-worker, and if you can, kiss an “ouchie” away. Just make sure it’s not a stranger’s kid 🙂
