What made you happy today?

TWICE, I was in a hurry and didn't figure out something for myself and went with the AI answer. WOW, was it WAY OFF!!!

Shame on me for not doing the figuring myself. I just wanted the answer and didn't think. Or grab my calculator.

That's another problem with AI. People start to depend on it rather than doing any thinking or fact checking and end up with some really awful results. ChatGPT has been known to make things up.

I found one! Same for me. It's a lot of time and energy. Of course, some people enjoy that, so more power to them, but for me it became a chore that I'd dread. I'll grow my hair back once in a while, just for fun, but it never lasts more than a few months. Buzzing it off is so liberating!

Yep, nothing wrong with it if it makes you happy, I just simply don't care about all that and see no reason why I should. Most I'll do is dye my hair blue or green and paint my nails from time to time. I have always been a tomboy and never particularly cared about what others think. I am comfortable being myself and if anyone has a problem with it, they can deal with it. For me it's just a matter of practicality and being true to myself. If I wore makeup and had longer hair it would just end up getting ruined in a few minutes anyways due to the heat and me ALWAYS wearing a helmet when biking (safety first!)

This probably won't make a lot of sense to some, but Pam Anderson going makeup free.

I wore heavy face makeup during a very impressionable part of my life (12-22), all because some stupid boyfriend told me I'd look better with it. It trashed my skin and my confidence. Wore makeup at my wedding, and then haven't since. Yeah, I don't look nearly as polished, and sometimes I have zits (whyyyyyyyyyy), but I'm glad to see more women embrace it. It's okay to look like yourself.

Now to find more women willing to buzz their hair off!

I was told that once, also. By someone I thought was a friend. Haven't spoken to her in decades. As for zits, they happen. Even when you are 43. I think I get more zits than my 14 yr old son, actually

I've never been into makeup. I always found it to be so insulting when people told me that I would be really beautiful if I wore makeup. Now, there's nothing wrong with wearing makeup, but there's nothing wrong with not wearing it either.

This guy, for example, is an artist!

I’m 48.
No makeup for me. Been off that for 15 years.
(I have worn a little on very special occasions like weddings. But very minimal and No eye makeup. Just concealer and lipstick/lipgloss.)

AND I stopped coloring my hair about 5 years ago. Healthier hair and not having to color every couple months. It’s naturally dark, so the gray looks silver.

No,No, NO! It's not "gray" OR "silver." It's "Arctic Blonde." Those aren't Senior Moments we're having ... they're BLONDE Moments!"
That's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

Yo, Sisters! I have not worn makeup since senior year of high school ... 1970. I thought, make up for what? This is my face. Anyone that does not like it does not have to look at it, this is as good as it gets. Ever hear that joke where a guy says, I went to bed at two with a 10 and woke up at ten with a 2? No way. What you see is what you get. Who has money to spend on makeup anyway, what a waste. Waste of time too IMO. To each her own, no judgment, but ... it's not for me. Signed, Naked Face

That was incredible! I can't even draw a cat eye without it looking like a 5 year-old did it. Makeup is 100% an art for some people.

Meh, I've had a few greys (well, technically white) since I was 16. Don't mind that I am going grey young, I think it looks cool (especially since my hair color is black, it contrasts nicely).

Makes me think of the joke where guys will use the same soap to wash their hair, face, and butt, yet they always look fantastic.

And other important parts. Doesn't everyone do that?

Let's see. I've got shampoo, conditioner, 3 - no 4 - different types of face wash, and 2 different body washes. All that effort to look a few ticks above neanderthal.

I have come to embrace my inner Neanderthal.
