So a few days ago, I uploaded a selfie on Instagram and just put the date on it... and then I decided I was going to start doing that every day.
And I decided that for a few reasons. 1) I take a lot of selfies, I usually update them to my Beauty Blog at some point in time... but I often forget to update them to Instagram... and I hate that. I work hard for these makeup looks and I should put them on Instagram more often. 2) I feel like I look different all the time. I was looking at old pictures of me and even just from a few months ago... thats not what I look like all the time. Like my current profile picture has me with really nice makeup and hair and red lipstick... I don't do that all the time... so I figured I would just show a picture every day. 3) I sort of want a beauty related instagram... but thats a lot of work and I'm not that skilled. Lol. 4) I'm not really fishing for compliments or anything... but having a person click like every day feels nice. So... thats sort of motivation. If you have a crappy day... sometimes a like is all it takes. Plus I always find it interesting to see who likes my pics. Is that creepy? Yes. But its the honest truth. I like being liked. Who doesn't? I'm okay with being disliked, I am who I am and I'm not going to change for people to like me... but I like when people like me for who I am and that's genuinely what the pictures are.
I kind of want to make it motivational too. Like I'm not posting anything motivational about it... but I'm not a perfect picture taker. I'm not skilled with my phone camera, My face isn't perfect... sometimes my skin looks super dry and my makeup doesn't look great... and sometimes I break out and I don't really cover it up. I don't want to use a filter with anything either. And I'm not like one of those people that are like "Selfies are so motivational" because they aren't. Its just a damn pic of someones face! Lol... but its been a fun fixture in my life the past few days.
And another thing I want is something to be consistent. I like the idea that everyday I post 2 blogs and a picture of my face... and I exist in real life and do other things too. I think its just one more way for me to be fun and creative...and if I don't post here I'll have that... and if I don't keep up with taking a picture of myself every day... I won't be that so much.
Also... I love my Instagram Handle. Shannonsface. You can follow me if you want. I was going to say follow me at the end... but I figured since one of the reasons is me liking my name... Why not.
