Do you ever have those days where you just really hate the way you look? Yeah me too I'm having one of these weeks this week. I just feel like it doesn't matter what makeup I put on or how I do my hair, I just don't look good - I feel ugly.
Confidence is a weird one. What do people do to feel more confident? I'm usually quite a confident person although behind closed doors that is not the case.
I was asked once to say 3 things i like about myself (appearance wise). This was my reply;
My lips - love the shape of my lips although they are always dry.
My eyes - i love the colour of my eyes but i hate that i have a lazy eye (i call it qwock eye) and my left eyelashes don't curl - NO MATTER WHAT!
My cheeks - I like the shape of my cheeks for blusher but hate how chubby they are, i can't contour with them.
YES have you noticed? I didn't - i made every like about myself a hate. How is that possible? I struggled in the first place to decide 3 things i like about my appearance. I think because im in a wheelchair I mostly feel exposed - people are staring at me (never seen a wheelchair before?). I get anxious about it which is why I think appearance is important to me.
It's hideous. And the thing is I don't notice it until someone takes a picture of me because from the front I can't see the scalp.

Basically in the last few years my hair has thinned quite a lot to the point that you can just scalp on top. This is down to stress and medication. I have tried pretty much every volumising conditioner, shampoo, lotions and potions nothing seems to thicken it.
If you are squeamish don't look now - I can't stand to look at these :(
My hair over the last year -
I kind of lost my train of thought with this blog post.
I guess what I'm trying to say some people come across as confident but not everyone are confident with themselves or their appearance. I suppose that's me.
Any advice on what you do to help confidence? Let me know, let's chat.
Also let me know if you want more blog posts about being in a wheelchair?
Lots of love xx
