May, Myself and I; Red Lips

This post is a day late, but I really had no idea what to write about for this prompt.  Also, some days I need a break from blogging every day so just had a chilled morning yesterday before work.  My anxiety has been high so journaling along with deep breathing was more beneficial to me than typing a blog post when I wasn't feeling in the mood to share my thoughts. My mental health is my main priority so I do what I need to do to look after it and myself.

Again these words aren't thought out ahead of time, I'm literally writing the prompt from there thoughts in my head as I'm typing right now at 9.18 am on this beautiful sunny Sunday morning.  I'm at work in a bit but as I'm a day behind with the prompts and I'm in a better headspace than I was yesterday, I'm trying to catch up a bit.

I'm off this coming week so will try and get ahead of the prompts a bit by typing up my thoughts for them and scheduling the posts for the relevant days.

This is another tough prompt as I'm not one to wear lipstick.  I used to wear it when I was younger as a kid and playing with makeup but I don't think red lipstick suits me.  I also think that people who wear red lipstick have much more confidence than myself.  I'm confident enough to get by but don't like to be the centre of attention and having red lips would bring far too much attention to myself than I feel comfortable with.

I applaud women who do wear red lipstick, all the kudos to them, but it's just not for me, I tend to focus my make up on my eyes which I think are my best facial feature.  Red lipstick reminds me of the previous eras of WW2 and the Hollywood glamour days of Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s and '60s.  

I do love the colour red, it's one of my favourites, I just don't like to wear it as make up.  I have worn red clothes and a couple of my waterproof jackets are red, I also have red home accessories, one being a breakfast bowl I regularly use.

What are your thoughts on red lipstick?
