A challenge for young women

This woman is going 30 days without makeup and is blogging about the experience.  So many women struggle with identity issues, and so much of it runs just under the surface, a real internal battle that they do not share.  She is doing this to help raise awareness for herself and others about true beauty.  An excellent read.

The True Campaign exists to end the crisis of distorted self image by challenging cultural ideals about identity and beauty, so we can be free to impact our world as God intended.  How much money is spent in your household on beauty & cosmetics?  How much is really necessary versus how much is spent/bought to feel better about themselves? Is there a way to reduce the amount spent on this and redirect that money to a cause outside of your own home?  Maybe to help support a child who has no family & struggles to find enough food to eat each day?  $32 a month is enough to support a child through Compassion International and Children’s HopeChest.
