Makeup, the best thing in the world or the worst thing in the world it just depends on the person you are. I love makeup and maybe you do to. Below is a list of signs to help you diagnose your addiction but it's okay if you don't get help for it.

1. How Long Does It Take To Do Your Makeup?

If it takes you 5 to 10 minutes you are a normal healthy person but if it takes you 20 minutes for your "natural look" or 45 minutes and possibly more for your "unnatural look" then you are probably addicted to makeup and it's okay because you can't rush beauty.

2. How Many Products Do You Wear Daily?

If you wear about 3-5 products a day you are probably in the right zone but if you wear 7 or more on a regular basis you may have an addiction to makeup and all of its wonders. It is fun being able to manipulate your face I know.

3. Makeup Is Your Downtime

If you think Jaclyn Hill, Manny MUA, and Kathleenlights are your closest friends like I do then you probably are a makeup junkie. Do the associates at Sephora or M.A.C know you when you walk in? Probably a makeup junkie. It's okay I understand you need to know about all the new products coming out and they are the only people you trust.

4. You Own 7 of The Same Products.

I know you need all 12 of those nude lipsticks, 9 of those taupe transition eye shadows, and 4 lengthening mascaras, I understand, but there are some people out there that don't understand us. The judge us for having so many eye shadow pallets that have the same colors in them but what they don't know is that they are a little bit different from the formula to finish and even the slight color difference. So you go girl keep stocking up.

5. Do You Have A Dedicated Space For Your Makeup?

Do you have an entire area just for makeup that nothing else can touch? Well, then you may be addicted to makeup. You treat your makeup like it is a living breathing thing and deserves it's own beautifully decorated area.

Don't judge those addicted to makeup. Makeup is an art form. You can manipulate the face and paint with beautiful bright colors. Whether you are a male, female, nonmakeup lover, sort of makeup lover, or hardcore makeup lover makeup is always there. Makeup doesn't discriminate and helps you enhance your natural beauty and give you a boost of self-confidence. So to all my makeup addicts out there keep doing what you're doing.

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.
