The title of this blog, "Aren't you gonna wear a lil' lipstick?" is from my dear grandmother, whom we refer to as 'Tubbsy'. Tubbsy is a true southern woman who takes pride in her tennis, her home, her cooking and her appearance. Before any picture is taken with her, she reaches into her purse to grab "a lil' lipstick". And she will remind the rest of us, "Okay everybody, picture time! Everyone get their lipstick!".
My generation, however, hasn't really been big on the issue of lipstick. We are a little more into accepting everyone for who they truly are, and not judging their appearance. HOWEVER, repeated studies have shown that people decide early what they think of you; most commonly within the first 30 seconds of meeting you.
But this blog is not about impressing others or wearing lipstick, this blog is about YOU. The real question in, "Aren't you gonna wear a lil' lipstick?" is, "Aren't you going to try a little harder? Aren't you going to make a little effort?"
This blog is about making that effort. Making the effort to live a healthy and active lifestyle, for yourself. For You. Isn't it time you felt good about yourself? Isn't it time you took PRIDE in everything you do? It's time to achieve your goals. Or maybe for you, it's time to just SET YOUR GOALS.
Let's learn to follow the example my dear grandmother has set, and learn to wear a little lipstick :-)
