So What If Alicia Keys Doesn't Wear Makeup?
Time

A woman decides to go out in front of millions of people without make up on her face and people get their panties in a twist.

This alone is what is wrong with society. And if you're not familiar with what's going on, I'll fill you in.

Alicia Keys has been living her life with a bare face. No make up, no nothin'. Simple right? In this world, not quite. She set foot on the VMAs red carpet without make up and everyone was quick to judge her. Some people adored the idea, and others just continued to throw shade.

What Alicia Keys is doing is something pretty uncommon nowadays. There are 12 year old girls wearing full faces of make up because they believe that makeup is the only thing that will make them beautiful, and this is far from the truth. Beauty comes from within, and teaching young girls that what you see on the outside is all that matters is truly damaging society. If you love to wear make up, in the words of Alicia Keys, 'Do you!'.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with makeup. I wear it, and I know plenty of people, men and women, who wear it. What's wrong is that people are upset and judging someone for doing something that makes them happy, something that makes them feel beautiful.

I support Alicia Keys for standing up and saying that she truly enjoys being without makeup, and I believe many girls should look up to her for this. I mean, how many people have the guts to stand up for themselves nowadays anyway?

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
