A thought occured to me recently, I guess in someways I have always known it but it really hit me when a friend made a passing statement to me about beauty. I began to think - Why do we have to be perfect?
Now I, as with many women take pride in my appearance. I am rarely seen in public without my make-up and I like to make an effort even for the smallest of excursions, for example, the supermarket. This being said however, the increasing pressures on both men and women to be perfect at all times is becoming somewhat over the top.
