Kyle Richards looked red hot in her red blazer on Instagram. This was just another one of her fab looks from her RHOBH press tour in the land down under. And all that’s left to really say about it is that a new red blazer would obviously be the perfect mate.

How can we not be authentic? We are who we are. If, somehow, we are not showing our true selves, isn’t that who we are being? This is exactly who we are, in this place and in this time right now.

Analyzing Authenticity

Previously, I had never understood what it meant to be authentic. Are there inauthentic people on the planet? How do they become inauthentic? Does it just mean they are covering up things or saying what other people want them to say?

It was always a mystery to me that somehow, we are supposed to be on a quest to be authentic. That someone else decided that we must find our true selves by reaching “out there” somewhere, always higher, and further to find our authenticity.

But when I looked closer, I found that people cloak themselves in self-made confusion; they aren’t confused at all but apologize for being so. We aren’t really confused about who we are, yet we seemingly discombobulate ourselves by saying something not true, as if it is truth. Then we launch ourselves into trying to find our authenticity “out there” somewhere.

I’ve come to view being authentic as being brave. When we step into our true creativity, our purpose, our hearts, as boldly and bravely as we possibly can, that’ authentic.

Think Lady Gaga, think Martin Luther King, Jr., think (insert your favorite famous person here). It isn’t that they are more authentic than you or me; it’s that we can see more of who they are, in a brighter, cleaner, shinier, and more brilliant way.

As a society, we apologize for just being, for walking past, for opening doors, not opening doors, going first, not going first, saying hello, not saying hello. “Sorry” is a word that repeats over and over in our daily lives.

In the process, we cover up who we really are, and in time become both inauthentic (quiet even to ourselves) and invisible. We cover up our authenticity with confusion, with “sorry,” with being invisible. Stop this.

Which takes me to the next word.

Being Visible

That’s a kick-a* scary word.

I used to call myself introverted. And I am. Truly. I’d rather curl up with a good book at home than be out at a party, but I can see how I hid behind the word. I have used it as an excuse for not putting myself out there, for not being who I really am in the world.

I’d rather be in my comfortable cloak than speak my truth.

Here’s how it might play out:

When invited to a party I’d ask who else was going so I could decide if I knew people, would have someone who knew me (who understood me, would I be safe there).

When thinking about heading out swing dancing by myself, I’d say I was too shy. I am shy (and introverted). Who does this hurt? Only myself. By being brave and taking myself swing dancing I’m allowing more of myself to shine, first to myself (I WANT TO DANCE) and then to others.

If no one asks me to dance, does that make me a bad person? Perhaps I’ll just ask someone else to dance! (There’s bravery again.) If I don’t get to dance, did that make me ‘right’ for wanting to stay home?

In this situation, do I reconfirm that I’m better off staying home than going out dancing by myself? I could make that argument, but really if I don’t get to dance, I just don’t get to dance. No hidden meanings: I’m not a bad person, no one hates me, I just didn’t get to dance.

How I hide came to light in a very big way for me when someone on social media (which means, I don’t even know them in real life… they could have been a clown or a troll or a non-existent profile from a faraway land) told me to “quiet down, be a good girl, and go home.”

Earning Back My Visibility

To start, I didn’t know this person, but let’s be clear. He didn’t know me, either. Even if he did know me, his words are unacceptable. I wouldn’t talk to my husband, daughter, friend, or grocery bagger like that. I would never speak up in hateful putdown language to a school teacher, barista, or doctor. I just wouldn’t be, well, rude.

When did it become ok to tell others how to think or feel or what to do? When did it become ok for me to listen to this? And when did it become part of me that I could never be rude? (After all, visibility “being” the whole of who I am, shouldn’t it include being rude when appropriate, meaning not without provocation, but with pride to speak up for myself and to be, well, visible?)

I blasted back #idontneedadaddythankyou #responsibleformyfeelingsmyself

That’s how I felt in that moment. A switch came on inside of me, and I no longer was introverted, quiet, or invisible. I stood up and claimed myself, my truth, my rudeness, my fierceness. I claimed all my baggage, my unhealed parts, my brilliance, and my being. Then I let that person and his words go. 

I don’t need to ever engage again with this person. If he or others like him come into my life, I can handle it a variety of ways, including ignoring, blocking or just laughing. I’m prepared, as I’m older, wiser and happily more visible now. And there is no further need to engage because that lesson is done.

We speak our truth. We are authentic. We are visible. We are already authentically visible.

Go Be You.

The biggest, greatest visible you.

Which words have power over you? Why? What do you think authenticity entails? Are you living authentically or do you usually pretend to be someone you’re not? How visible are you willing to be in everyday life?

I love watching celebrities’ beauty GRWM videos because it provides a rare glimpse into exactly how they achieve such flawless skin. A lot of the A-listers’ ride-or-die products are well out of my price range, but it’s still fun to uncover their beauty secrets. When I watched Khloe Kardashian’s ‘Hot Ones’ interview, I thought this was the last place I’d hear her chat about her skincare must-haves. However, like all of Sean Evans’ star-studded, hot wing-centric conversations, I learned something new and surprising.

Sean asked Khloe for skincare hacks that a beginner like him could try. She replied, “I wear Aquaphor [or] Vaseline around my eyes every night. I think it helps with wrinkles and all that. That’s really inexpensive and easy.”

This isn’t the first time she has vouched for the product. Back in 2016, she shared on her app that she applies Aquaphor on her eyes, so clearly, this is a tried-and-true essential.

You’d expect the upper echelon of Hollywood to use only high-end beauty products, but it turns out this is not always the case. Aquaphor’s Healing Ointment lines the shelves of all your local drugstores and is incredibly affordable, sitting at just $14 for a 14-ounce tube.

The multi-tasking product is capable of restoring your dry, compromised skin to a healthier state. It’s also multifunctional in that you can apply it pretty much anywhere your skin is craving moisture. Lips, face, body, minor cuts, heels, cuticles, hands—hardly anywhere is off limits with this formula.

Khloe has been using the Healing Ointment for years, which is quite a feat considering she’s constantly trying a ton of beauty products. This Aquaphor one has stood the test of time in her skincare cabinet and we predict it’ll do the same for you, too.

The Healing Ointment’s formula is short, sweet and no-frills, so it’s ideal for those who prefer simple products. It contains petrolatum, glycerin and panthenol, which all work together to moisturize, nourish and protect the skin. It differs from a lotion or cream in that it’s water-free and forms a protective barrier that lets oxygen flow through and heal areas of concern. The barrier additionally helps retain your skin’s own hydration, which is beneficial for keeping your complexion looking youthful.

Khloe’s green light is a big deal, but it’s also worth noting the product is ranked No.1 in the hand cream and lotion category on Amazon has glowing reviews. With a near-perfect 4.8-star rating and over 54,000 five-star ratings, shoppers echo the celeb’s positive review of the Aquaphor product.

“It soothed a rash and my chapped lips but had the unexpected benefit of diminishing the wrinkles near my mouth and eyes and on my chin,” explained one shopper. “I look a few years younger than before I put this ointment on my face.”

“Aquaphor is my go-to salve for lips [and] skin irritations; even put it on my eye wrinkles before bed. I love this stuff, and this large container will last a long time!” wrote another five-star reviewer.

Finding an anti-aging skincare product for under $14 is typically no easy task. The Aquaphor Healing Ointment, however, is an exception that’ll make your skin smooth and healthy in a snap. Don’t wait any longer to order your tub at Amazon for just $14 right now.

Meredith Marks’ blue ribbed mini dress here while walking through the streets of Montpellier, France is soooo cute. I live in easy, breezy sundresses like this for summer, and am now feeling very motivated to add a new LBD to my collection (with the “b” this time standing for blue).
