The pleasure of beauty

Before my hair loss I would never ever ever ever have considered myself beautiful. Never. Ever. However over the past few years, beauty has become redefined for me and I can now say with all confidence, that I consider myself beautiful. I genuinely feel more beautiful now than I have ever felt. Don't misunderstand this in any way, I am no stunner nor head turner, I am referring to beauty coming from the inside out.

Beauty is not necessarily more important to me than it was before, but it is definitely something I find more pleasure in, more than I ever would have with a full head of hair. I enjoy wearing fitted dresses, I adore high heels and I indulge in expensive make up. I find happiness in making myself feel more beautiful and I find pleasure in compliments on my efforts.

A friend recently commented that I always blush when I get a compliment. I did not know this about myself, but I like the comment and I love the fact that she noticed.

I work hard at keeping my figure a certain way and I like my curves and wearing clothes that enhance my shape. I am still however not vain, I do not redo my makeup once it's applied. I never look in mirrors past 8am and I always eat those chips, those deep fried goodies and drink full fat beer. Some habits never change.

I am however proudly, bold and beautiful and happen to be bald!

So what are you? Go on define it and most importantly live by it......
