What to Title This One? Something, Something, Eyebrows. Good Enough.

Anyone who reads this blog knows that I have always been vehemently opposed to wearing the browless look. I'm not sure how many of you still check in, but an update is in order. 

In late March, I shaved off my eyebrows in a moment of lust. My intention was to immediately start growing them back and just draw them on in the interim. I had a couple of weeks off, so I kept shaving and wore my brow bare in public, those intentions to let them grow and fill them in still at the back of my mind. 

When I started drawing them on, Ricardo teased me about how I looked like I had been attacked with a Sharpie. He suggested that I just not cover it up, and completely surprised me when he told me that he actually liked the way I looked without eyebrows. Not that Ricardo was the only one that surprised me; I kind of liked it myself. I still do like it. The contours of my face have changed in the last five years, and I feel that it suits me in a way it didn't before. I haven't had eyebrows for almost six months now, and looking at photos of myself before I shaved them, I wonder why I was ever so against it.
