14 Things Women Who Don't Wear a Lot of Makeup Will Understand

1. It's better for your skin, really.

Make-up has all sorts of harmful chemicals and ingredients in it that is definitely not going to help clear up the acne your desperately trying to cover up.


2. You can rub your eyes whenever, that's right, whenever you want.

Any time of the day. 24/7. No worries.


3. You have more time to sleep in the morning.

Sleep is always more important than makeup will ever be in your life.


4. What could you possibly need so many brushes for??

Makeup should not be this complicated. You'll never understand why someone could need 8 different brushes for one face. You would rather not deal with it at all if it has to be so difficult.


5. You don't have to worry about your make up being uneven.

No uneven eyebrows, no winged eyeliner that is just not cooperating.

6. You can go swimming whenever you want.


You don't have to worry about that cute boy seeing your face melt away like the Wicked Witch of the West.


7. You don't have to worry about remembering to take it off, lest it get all over EVERYTHING.

Towels, pillowcases, clothes. No worries, it's all good.


8. You have more space in the bathroom.

This is never a problem you have to deal with. Without all of those brushes taking up so much space, there's more room for other things like a place for all of your lost bobby pins and pony tails that you keep losing.


9. It's easier to sneak home from a one night stand when you don't have to worry about if your face looks ok from the night before.

At 7:30 in the morning it looks a lot less suspicious walking down the street with no makeup than with their makeup smeared all over their face. #sorrynotsorry


10. Special occasions are more special because you actually get dolled up for once.

When you actually do put makeup on for once, whatever you're doing feels a lot more important.


11. You don't get asked if you are sick if you decide to go au natural.

Sorry, no, I just forgot to put my face on today. This never happens because you are always rocking that no makeup look, and killing it.

12. More space in your bag for snacks!

Obviously, there is no downside to this.

13. You don't have to worry about people dropping by unexpectedly.

No "Oh shit, my face is ratchet, just give me a minute... or ten"

14. You are not dependent on makeup to feel pretty.

You don't need a face full of makeup to feel good about yourself. Your self-esteem doesn't plummet if you go without makeup for a day. By not wearing makeup you are accepting of yourself for who you are. You are not defined by the way out outward appearance is perceived.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
