Hear, hear!

So, I’m not crazy!

1. While it may not be practical, I very much agree that a shaitel should be inside and a snood outside. Granted, whatever one is wearing, make sure no hair shows! I don’t mean to say I’ll never wear a shaitel outside, but I most certainly agree with the idea behind it!!!!

2. It’s one thing if makeup is used in a natural way – for example, to cover a blemish on the skin. Or if someone is really pale. Etc. But to be made up in such a way that it’s obvious?!

Just my personal take: if all girls (shidduchim-age) didn’t bother with makeup, or only wore an amount necessary to look pleasing (not attracting, rather pleasing – please see what I wrote above), it would be a lot better. More tzniusdik, less involvement in gashmiyus, and frankly, less money spent, too!

I could write more, but I’ll either sound like a broken record or I’ll regret it.
