Bad Skin Days As Told By Real Housewives

Honestly, the last time I had really "great" skin, I was probably 10 years old. I got acne at a really young age, and here I sit, almost 20 years old, still dealing with relatively crappy skin and occasional breakouts. It's a total pain, because when you're having a bad skin day, it feels pretty much like this:

You wake up with high expectations for the day, or at least hope the day is going to be bearable. But as soon as you look at the mirror, you notice the splotches on your face and react something like this:


You immediately start trying to pop the pimple, something every relative and dermatologist ever has told you not to do, but you're already done with the whole damn situation.

Unfortunately, whatever you just did to it made it like 10 times more red and inflamed, so you're staring at your face like:


And then you end up with a face so packed with concealer and foundation and setting powder you feel like a giant, frosted cake-person by the end of it.


But you end up going out to face the workday or school day or whatever it is despite the flaming, mutant planet that's sticking out of the side of your face, which makes you feel like this:


But having a bad skin day means you'll probably be a little more angry, impatient or all-around just unpleasant.


And God forbid if anyone has the nerve to ask, "What happened to your face?"


If you make it home without murdering anyone, you'll FaceTime your best friend (or mom) pointing out the volcano on your face like:


But they'll still try to convince you you're gorgeous anyway:


But the pimple will be gone in a few days, and then you'll be back to your old, fabulous self

 

And you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

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.
