Tip of the Nose

You know what I think is awesome? Looking like Rudolph the red freaking nose reindeer in August. I mean ladies you know what I am talking about. You can follow the procedure everyday, right? Wake up 1. Wash your face! 2. Exfoliate! And 3. Moisturize! Then repeat before bed. But somehow, some little twist of fate, a little friend may just as well pop up somewhere humiliating on your face! The next couple of days your biggest feat is NOT trying to finish your History paper and its NOT trying gather your notes for your works budget meeting. For the next three something days your biggest obstacle is hiding the red monster that is soaking up the spotlight that once shined on your perfectly clear face.

You have done nothing to deserve this. You pay your taxes, you always use your turn signals when changing lanes and you even donate clothes to charity. Well, when they don’t seem to fit you or your pathetic excuse for a closet. Obviously, you are not a saint, but do you really deserve this horrific blemish filled with a concoction of oil, sweat and dirt. Things that your parents told you boys were made of, not girls! It is definitely unfair to say they least.

What’s next you wonder? What can you use to deflect the light from this unwanted intruder? You go for reinforcements; concealer, powder… a mask. And you always have to ask yourself the ever so tempting question, “To pop or not to pop”? There is so much pressure caused due to this unsightly pour of disaster. It is exhausting!

Now on the contrary I personally do not practice such pious methods. I choose to break all codes of proper post teen/ young adult etiquette. Yes I do sleep with my makeup on. And yes I may only wash my face in the shower. Is that really so bad? Really? What is there to be ashamed of? Everyone has them, so why make all the fuss and spend so much money to cover them up? I say everyone should walk around proudly, with there heads held high and be able to say, “Yes, I do have a zit and frankly I don’t give a damn”.
