Eyelash Extensions: Is it Time to Ditch Mascara?
Taylor Bradley

Every single day, there is another thing for women to add to their faces. Whether its botox, lip fillers, and now, we have eyelash extensions.

I know what you're thinking: "Extensions? For eyelashes? That's ridiculous."

Yup. I thought so too. But if you think about it, how much time and money do you spend on mascara? For me, I love the look of full voluminous lashes. But whenever I use mascara, I get a clumpy look which is a bitch to remove.

I don't know about anyone else, but when I want to do anything to my body, I always look online for reviews. YouTube is a great place to see people's reviews and experiences about the product(s). When I typed in "eyelash extensions review", hundreds of videos popped up. Ninety-five percent of them were good reviews, while the other 5% gave bad reviews because they only paid $20 for the extensions.

Rule #1: Even though $20 may seem like a good deal, think about if that's a good deal for the future of your lashes.

I know I was scared of my real lashes falling out, or all of the extensions falling out at once. But if you do your research and take care of your extensions, that won't happen.

The process itself takes a few hours, and mine took about three hours. You lay in a chair, close your eyes, and relax. You can take a nap if you want, or you could chit-chat with the person who is doing your lashes.

Each extension is attached to a real lash, so they'll fall out with your normal lashes. They're not harmful to your lashes, especially if you take care of them. Taylor did my lashes, and told me to brush through them twice a day (once in the morning, and once at night).


I love the way that they turned out. I don't have to wear mascara anymore, so it cuts down more than half of the time it usually does to do my makeup. My lashes look full and voluminous, but not like fake lashes.

If you're thinking about getting eyelash extensions, DO IT! They're so worth it. They're not hard to upkeep, and they look beautiful.

If you're in the Albany area and want to get some eyelash extensions, I highly recommend Taylor & Becky, they're very talented and always do an amazing job!

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.
