Okay so as from my last article, you know why I LOVE make-up, but some it came as a shock because I actually don't wear make up everyday.

Now don't get me wrong, nothing is wrong with wearing make-up every single day. I honestly just don't have the time or the patience for it.

But i know what ya'll are thinking, how can she not have the patience for something that she loves? Well you see, doing make-up is a very hard thing to do. Getting your eyebrows even, getting your contour on fleek, that highlight to be glowing, it can be very difficult.

In all honesty, i'm just super lazy to contour and bronze every single day. ain't nobody got time for that,especially when i have to be at school at 8:20. Now here and there I'll dress up or look cute just to amaze myself and think that I have my life together. But most days i just wear jeans and a t-shirt, ask anyone.

Plus, actually wearing make up every single day is actually really bad for skin. I'm not talking about just mascara and some eyeliner, but everything. Like your primer, then your foundation, then your concealer, then baking that, then your contouring, then highlighting, and then your eye primer and all the eye shadows that you wear, and then mascara or if you desire fake eyelashes. Now come on, thats a lot of make up.

You know your little pours can't handle that, unless you have the best of the best cleansers and serums and all that jazz. But most of us, like me, can't really afford the best of the best cleansers. See all those women with flawless skin that wear make up literally 24/7 have like i swear 20+ cleaning products for your face. Now me, just have about 3 products for my face. Face wash, moisturizing gel, and some tea tree oil for those stubborn pimples.

There is absolutely no problem with wearing make up everyday, girl you do whatever the heck you want. My face just can't handle it, and a bunch of other girls faces can't handle it. I naturally have oily skin, so whenever i wear a lot of make up for a couple of days straight, my face freaks out.

But since i actually do have oily skin, I HAVE to wear matte foundation. No matter what. Beacuse if i don't, it literally slides off my face and dissapears. I'm not even kidding, it just seeps into my face.

This is my favorite matte foundation


Because its oil free, it doesn't add oil to my already oily face.

But even though its oil free, i still can't wear it for days without it having effects on my skin. that's just how my skin is.

I know A LOT of girls who do wear make up every single day,and that's ok. There skin can deal with it. Some days when you're just not feeling it, you don't have to look flawless. Sometimes nautral beauty is the best beauty. You are the best beauty, no atter what you have or don't have on your face.

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.
