Happy Valentine’s, Beauty Queens 💋
This one still makes us laugh
@benefitcosmetics Benetint on the areolas. You’re welcome. LOL But in all seriousness… this clip was filmed in 2023 during a season of chronic health issues, constant inflammation, and discomfort. When I see videos from that time, I feel a strange ache. Not because I looked “bad,” but because how I showed up didn’t always match how I felt inside. A quiet kind of dysmorphia. A disconnect between who I was becoming and who the camera caught. I never chased a public platform. It found me. And I’m always choosing to show up in my own way. Authentic ❤️ Looking back, I catch myself judging past versions of me who were just trying to stay safe. I’m learning to hold those versions with more tenderness instead of critique. Compassion is part of healing. Makeup saved me in ways I didn’t expect. It helped me see myself when I felt disconnected from my body. And it still does. So if today means anything to me, it’s this: 
Valentine’s isn’t about loving a “final version” of yourself.
It’s staying in relationship with who you were, who you are, and who you’re still becoming. 💘
