It's summer in Florida, which means the air is humid and the temperature is right at 100 degrees every day. Thanks to some heavy self-reflection, I decided there's no need to powder up and lose precious dollars to sweat. Thankfully, I don't wear much make up anyway, but even putting a little on makes me feel better. But I started asking myself, "What would happen if I just stopped wearing make up for a little bit?" The answer is, "Complete and total freedom."

If you decide to beat the heat and go make up free this summer, then there are some really cool benefits.

1. You can touch your eyes!

The freedom that comes along with eye shadow-less or eye liner-less eyes is incredible.

2. Outdoor event planned? No problem.

Slay those outdoors, girl. Sweat it up! Nothing is coming off your face today.

3. No make up bag equals smaller purse.

You can finally utilize that adorable clutch because the powder, brushes and lipstick are staying home.

4. Because you aren't wearing make up and sweating it off, you're saving money.

This means you'll have more money for things like sunscreen and snacks!

5. There's no better time to practice being comfortable in your own skin.

Make up is wonderful, and I love it, but not wearing it showed me I'm just as cool without it.

Summer is a time to be super comfortable, so enjoy it! I can't express how nice it is to wake up, throw on a baseball cap and be finished with my beauty routine. Of course, there are still times this summer where I've decided to wear make up, and that's OK too.

I think being truly comfortable with my face is the best benefit of this process. Plus, it took me not wearing any make up for about a week to notice my face didn't look much different. So if I can save my mascara from Sephora for special occasions, then I'm sold.
