21 Reasons Why I Love Makeup

I can still remember my first encounter with makeup, I had stayed at my aunts house and she did my hair and makeup the next day, I felt like the prettiest girl in the world, and from there it became almost tradition. Ever since then, my love for makeup has evolved and became something that I love for more reasons than one.

1. It became the way I learned to accept myself and feel like I was worth something.

2. It gives me happiness.

3. Makeup tutorials are the best way to pass the time.

4. Nailing winged eyeliner is the best feeling hands down

5. It taught me that art can be anything, and that my face is my canvas.

6. Having others compliment your work is always the greatest accomplishment.

7. A good pair of eyelashes can always turn a bad day into a great one.

8. Effortlessly blended eye shadow will forever be my sense of joy.

9. During my sad times, its always been a good way to escape the thoughts in my head.

10. It's more then just feeling pretty, it's about feeling your best.

11. A good foundation can dramatically change your life.

12. Sephora hauls are the best hauls.

13. Though it ruins your bank account, online shopping can always brighten your day.

14. Waiting for a new product to launch makes you feel like a child on Christmas.

15. It has become my passion.

16. If your highlight is poppin', then nothing can go wrong.

17. It's more than just painting your face, it's having fun and trying out new looks.

19. It's fun.

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.

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.
