Loving My Flaws Series

I began to share this series on Facebook. I am planning to make an art series..

I love looking out the corner of my eyes... but I am digging my smirk too.. :)

I am finding my lips to be very attractive these days..

I always admire others wide smile loosely because been teased by my family members for not having traditionally broad smile as my other members do... aka BIG MOUTH.. Wide and big.. beautiful to me.. 

and the color of my lips being pink and not a deeper hue.. I used to bite lips to darken them... didn't really work much though..

(I am wearing lipstick by the way in this photo, I just taken of myself) 

A member of my family.. excuse me, biological family questioned my paternity once or twice because I somehow didn't fit into what other members look like. 

Boy how those comments hurt me and I often hid my smile while talking around them.. ometimes, I do it subconsciously when I am laughing or embarrassed. I put my hands in my face to hide my expressions.. 

My mouth and lips aren't a bit tiny but different from my mother and my father's wide mouth. 

Now, I am learning to embrace each part of me... loving and seeing beauty in the "flaws" pointed out to me. 

This is Phase 1 of Loving My Flaws: My Lips

Same clothes, different image, different feature I am focusing on my nose..

I love my NOSE.. I remember making 3's sideways in my childhood drawing (as we all did to replica its image)

Felt a bit self-conscious about it size and REFUSE to pierce my nose because I thought it was too big..

Now, I love BIG perfect fitting nose.. It helps my glasses stay put, large and in charge


This is Phase 2 of Loving My Flaws: My Nose

 

So there she is my tummy..My problem area if you ask my doctor or some stylist. My tummy and I have been through some trials. 

I apologize for sticking my fingers in my mouth and making you ill in hopes that you may shirk. I have abused you with diet pills, Slim Fast, and other remedies. Even physical beaten you. You have been a troop. 

I am sorry for not loving.. But I embrace you now..
I embrace all you.. My dimples, the rolls, and now innie belly button.. Well I do miss my outie belly button though..


This is Phase 3 of Loving My Flaws: My Tummy, My Pouch, My Belly, A Rest Place for my siblings and small children who often call me soft and cuddly like a teddy bear.. *My little cousin did tell me that I was her teddy bear.. smiles..

Phase 4: The Brows.. 

I often refer to my brows as the Al B Sure. My brows tend to have a mind of their own at times very bushy.

I used to hate how THICCCKKKKK my brows are.. 

Now, I find them quite lovely.. They frame my eyes just right!

I like to mimic my mate's eye brow raise.. Not quite how he does it but close.

NAKED~ ~ I am loving my skin.. Phase 5

I was born with eczema. I have spend many summer days walking around like a greasy piece of chicken. I am happy to have much clearer skin these days compare to my childhood. Thanks to WATER and SHEA BUTTER and a balanced diet of more greens and fruits... Not those icky steroids creams that my Dad swears by or pills or even those plastic wrap treatments my Dad submitted me to.. 

Pondering if I want to share more skin with you all. 

I want to

I have some "flaws" that aren't P-13. 

but I think may continue with my illusions
