Girl yes! I am so happy to see you doing things for yourself. Taking care of yourself is so important even if it’s just as small as a bit of makeup or new clothes here or there. Doesn’t have to be a lot at once either, just a wee bit here and there can make a huuuge difference. It’s self care! Or if “self care” sounds too fancy, I call it “system maintenance”!

[@alexirossi]

Yesss!! I’ve been needing some system maintenance lol

I love that you took the time to explore this with us! Thanks for sharing! I found your channel a few years ago when I was on a no-makeup strike haha. I had done some self reflection and realized that I was wearing it for the wrong reasons. I was wearing it out of insecurity, so others wouldn’t think I was ugly. So I took a break until I was able to accept my face the way it is. I went out without makeup for a few months and that “exposure therapy” really helped me to accept myself and no worry what others think. Now I’m back to wearing makeup, but only sometimes, when I feel like it. But now I know I’m doing it for the right reasons- it’s for me to enjoy, it’s for a confidence boost, not to cover me up because Im ugly! I’m happy to finally be in this nice balance. ❤ I’m happy that you have found a happy balance, too! 🩷

[@alexirossi]

Yesss!! I love that! That’s how I’m feeling about it too and it feels really good!

[@ashash4life]

Pacífica and Elate and some great vegan/cruelty free makeup brands & mineral fusion. I’m not much into wearing makeup myself. I’ve always loved the natural look even though many people argue that natural can be ugly. I disagree. But I understand that it is fun to apply makeup stuff times. I myself am interested in those brow gel lift kits on Amazon. Many of your videos actually inspired me to hardly ever wear makeup because you’re so naturally pretty but makeup can be fun and you rock either way! ❤ Also, you don’t need makeup to feel confident. And I meant that in a good way lol Anyways, take care, cute thrift finds you found. I remember you talked about ThredUP before. Love ThredUP!

[@alexirossi]

Thredup is great! I’m so glad I inspired you to go makeup free! I still will most days! This is just kind of me experimenting with it right now

[@ashash4life]

That’s great! ❤ have fun, but know you’re still very naturally pretty without it too and I like how you apply it. Let us know if you finally find something you like ❤

[@sylvee2]

You would look so pretty with a light bronzer and a tinted lip balm. Your makeup look really brighten your face up, it just gives a twinkle, you still looked like you so im glad your embracing makeup 😊

[@alexirossi]

Thank you!! ❤️

[@photogirlmimmy]

That skirt w/ French tuck is perfect. You look amazing

[@alexirossi]

Thank you!! I thought it was super cute too! The kids these days say the French tuck is out but I think I’m going to keep it 😅

[@photogirlmimmy]

Kids these days have no idea who they are & absolutely the last place I would look to for fashion advice... +PNW fashion is just misunderstood; we’re wearing sweaters in June because the weather calls for it FYI Green is totally your colour

[@lilwarrioraleena]

I always notice your beautiful brows! Wish I had some lol, they are thinning out-but never been on the thick side naturally. Love to hear your take on makeup, quite relatable. I went through a “no makeup” 2 years with just tinted brow gel, and just recently started wearing more. Don’t be afraid to show us the makeup application, judge free zone. Can’t wait for your recommendations.

[@alexirossi]

Hahah I’ll try to be more open about it once I figure things out a little better! I appreciate you!

[@charlottegauthier5635]

Makeup is only to enhance your natural beauty. And you are already naturally very beautiful, so you don't need much! 😘

[@alexirossi]

I think it’s also a form of self expression! Which I’m really excited about finding for myself! Thank you so much ❤️

[@alydiafraser9290]

Ahh I have your video saved on my phone from 2 years ago where you talk about not wearing makeup and how bad it is for you and that it's good and forever chemicals etc because it inspired me.

[@alexirossi]

And I still believe all those things! But everything in moderation ❤️❤️

[@thobbs4526]

There is a Ulta in Sequim. Just go in there & check out the makeup. Mascara is a good thing.

[@Mayday1990]

I really love Kosas air brow and glossier boy brow. Milk make up lip and cheek rollers are nice too. Honestly anything that is multifunctional is a life saver if you don’t have a lot of time for a beat face. I have always worn make up but during pregnancy and post I don’t really anymore.I can totally relate, I am also trying to get into my groove again because I do not feel like myself anymore. Still lost in just getting through the day 😅

[@alexirossi]

Getting back to yourself after pregnancy is so hard 😭 I hope you find your way back to yourself soon. We’re all just trying to feel like people again lol

[@BetweenHereAndThereWithDALiLA]

I like the cashmere white creme looks good on you. Maybe some black leggings and boots. Winter outfit 😊. Your makeup looks very good. There's a lot of good vegan, cruelty free and environmental friendly brands out there to choose. If make you feel better, confident and comfortable that is the goal right. Love to see those sunny beautiful days and you smiling.🤗💚💪🏽✨🧿

[@Areutherehello]

I missed you. I just started getting into your Woods and Coffee channel, and then you disappeared. I love hearing your take on things.

[@alexirossi]

I’m sorry!! I had to just stop being perceived for a while haha but I’m so glad you’re still here!

[@biggertrees]

Ok I know you're hinting at wanting me to do your make-up...lol not. Has any one ever told you that you have beautiful limbal rings? You do. About a year ago I was on a self improvement mission. I lost a crap load of weight. Started dressing like an adult, started wearing perfume/cologne. I agree anything you do, do it for yourself. When you love yourself you can love others to and it will show.. This old dog is going to bed.

[@alexirossi]

That is really nice, thank you!

[@ankushmaurya1822]
