I have to admit, I can appreciate a good looking guy when I see one. 🙂  I mean, God gave you those looks for a reason!  haha  But then what?  What if a guy is good looking, but messed up?  To me, it just makes him wayy less attractive, which is like a waste of a good […]

So far we’ve been talking about confidence, changing the way we look at each other, not settling in relationships, and not comparing ourselves to others. That’s all good stuff, but I realized that for most people, it’s easier said than done.  Some might even think it’s pretty impossible.   NMM isn’t just about not wearing makeup […]

I heard a compliment this week that made me smile.  Someone told me that guys at school were saying that the girls were actually looking prettier without makeup.  What?!  That totally surprised me!  The comments I used to hear before NMM when I didn’t wear makeup were, “you look tired” or “are you sick?”  lol […]

I just came back from a cheer trip to Valdez.  16 teams, 3 days, a lot of games, and a lot of people checking people out. haha  Some might say us Kotz girls are a little, umm, deprived?  I’m sure the guys would say the same thing. I guess living in a small town, it’s […]

“Man I feel bad that she got hurt…but YES! I’m on varsity now! :D” “Her nose is too big for her face” “Go ahead and have him.  I had him first, and he’s cheap!” “If she wasn’t so fat, she’d be pretty” “She can’t even do a lay-up? I don’t know HOW she made the […]

Last week I was asked by a guy friend,“Why do you even wear makeup, when you look the same without it?” I stopped to think about it and said, “Because I feel more comfortable wearing it. I’m more confident with it on, and have more self-esteem.” A few minutes later I thought about what I […]

WHAT IF OUR APPEARANCE REFLECTED OUR HEARTS?!  Ha! This reminds me of the movie Shallow Hal… *“The thing is, all the women he’s been seeing are ugly” “Who says they’re ugly?” “Bausch & Lomb” *“Does she take the cake or what?” “She takes the whole bakery Hal” lol   VERSE: “But the Lord said, ‘Do […]

Verse:  “Like a gold ring in a pig’s snout is a beautiful woman who show no discretion.” -Proverbs 11:22   (note in my Bible)  “What a waste! A solid gold ring hooked through the snout of a stinky pig.  That’s how useful beauty is without good judgment to balance it out.  Just think about the […]

Verse: “Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Proverbs 31:30 We all see being beautiful as a good quality to have. Don’t get me wrong, it can be! But sometimes we get a little carried away, and get the wrong idea about it. I […]

Hey girls (and guys)! So last year, at my old school, our youth leader was teaching us about how we are beautiful just the way God made us. That we use makeup to highlight our features, but sometimes we get so dependent on it that we use too much, don’t feel comfortable without it, and […]
