You don't have to try so hard.

Women, do you agree with the message in the video?

Or, do you disagree, and feel you DO have to try hard to look XYZ so you can ... get ahead in a career, social life, maintaining self esteem, finding and keeping an SO?

LOVE THIS.

So much love for Colbie--beautiful voice, beautiful music, beautiful persona. When my daughter starts asking about makeup someday, I will definitely show her this. Thanks for sharing, Kenny.

I have noticed throughout my life that when I try hard, people give me so much positive feedback. That sort of instilled in me that I NEEDED to try. I'm ok with that, but. I'm also just fine with not trying and just being my un-madeup, undone self with friends and family. Because really? Who I am is not defined by anything I use to mask my own perceived flaws. No one else cares. Why should I?

I am really loving some of these Hangout threads these days. Makes me happy to still be a PS member.

That was a really nice video. Thanks for sharing.

I think I don't feel that big of a need to keep a certain look for my friends or SO or my self-esteem, but I do feel a need to do that for work. Not that I need to be X pounds, or only wear X clothes, etc. but that overall that I have to be put together and aware of how I look.
