I was a lot like your daughter when I was a teenager. I never wore makeup (not until I was 40 and now just a bit of mascara and maybe some blush) or painted my nails and still don't have pierced ears. Life is much simpler (and less expensive, I might add) for me that way. My sisters still can't believe it when they see me with nail polish on my toe nails - I still don't wear it on my fingernails. If your daughter is happy, then that's the most you can ask for. I think you’ve come to the right conclusion. I was a lot like your daughter when I was a teenager.
