Lilian's Tree

I posted a photo of the photos on 27 December and there were still gaps. After a week I went, need more photos. Here is the updated photo. No more gaps. Also back in December, I wrote about a Red Lipstick challenge I was doing. I'm still wearing lipstick, when I go out. It has become second nature to put lipstick on and I feel good doing it. Bye for now, Lilian. The weekend is in view!

Well I've been wearing it for a week and find that I now reach for the lipstick, as I get ready to go out. I'm over the strangeness of wearing lipstick and it got me thinking; When did I stop wearing lipstick, on a day-to-day basis?   I don't know, probably when I stopped working full-time, maybe before that, I can't remember. So from now I, even if it is just to get the mail, at the post office, I'll put lipstick on. Bye for now, Lilian

I am reading a blog, INWORDSANDINK, by Haley. Haley is a young woman, who feels she is lacking in confidence. She has started a challenge, for herself, by wearing red lipstick, everyday and it is not a colour she usually wears. Her last three posts have been about the challenge and how it is going, so far. I think she is amazing. It got me to thinking. I wear a lot of red, shirts, shoes, nail polish, I feel that it gives me confidence but not lipstick. Today I bought a red lipstick and put it on. It feels strange and I have startled myself but I am going to keep on wearing it. I don't know if I lack confidence or, as my husband says, I am just normally outgoing, saying Hi or smiling at people. It will be interesting to see how I go. Will keep you posted. Bye for now, Lilian.
