I am Brave and Beautiful – a beauty movement that is sweeping the globe.
Colbie Caillat started it with her
recent song and video called TRY. My blogging friend
Megan of Brassy Apple wanted to push this movement along and invited women from all over to share what they looked like without make up and I joined in!! Colbie’s song says,
“Take your make up off. Let your hair down… Look into the mirror at yourself, Do you like you? Cause I like you… “
Megan and her friend
Cobi of Peacefrom6pieces have been the team behind this whole project. Their worldwide vision included creating their own video inspired by the song TRY. The talent of
Robbins Creative made it possible for them to pull it off. You have to click play and see the beauty and bravery displayed and you might even recognize a few faces in there.
I, along with 120 other blogging women from different backgrounds, religions, ethnicities, ages, shapes and sizes, have decided to be Brave and Beautiful! You can join in this movement too, by sharing what you look like without makeup on. You don’t need a blog either! Just tag your photo with
#IamBraveAndBeautiful on Instgram and search the hashtag to see who else has joined in. ALSO, if you tag it with a second hashtag –
#ColbieTRY we just might be able to get Colbie Caillat’s attention since she was the inspiration behind it all!
Are you brave and beautiful? I am, here I go!
I don’t have to try so hard because I am already enough to the people that matter most to me. I often feel like I am pulled in a thousand different directions every day. Some days I can handle it like a pro. Some days it reduces me to tears and sweats and a solo Pride & Prejudice sesh (the 6 hour one, obviously). But even on those hardest days…the ones where I act (and almost always) look my worst, my sweet babies always have extra hugs and kisses for me. Because to them I am enough. Even without the makeup. Or clean hair. Or nice clothes. And even when I don’t think I am. I am.
I can be brave and beautiful every day by being the best wife and mother possible. Because when all is said and done, the people who see me at my worst are the ones who always deserve my best. And I can give it to them.
Because I am enough.
And so are you.

Don’t stop here. Get clicking around – it’s a blog hop! Below are more brave and beautiful women bearing more than their natural beauty. They each have a little bit of their heart to share with you. Some get very personal. Some share stories. For some this was very hard to do yet they gathered their courage and did it anyway. We hope as you click around (and YES pin these different posts!) you will feel the importance of it, the empowering effect it has and that it encourages you in some way.
