Just The Way You Are

Makeup doesn't make you pretty; being yourself does.

Everywhere you go, you see girls who wear a ton of makeup. You may even be one of them, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, it is wrong that you think you have to cover your entire face with makeup just to be pretty. You don’t. You are beautiful just the way you are. All over the world, there are millions of girls who think that they’re only pretty when they’re hidden beneath makeup, and that’s awful. Every woman should know how beautiful she is. If you are one of the women who wears a ton of makeup because it’s the only way you feel beautiful, I hope the next few tips can help you.

1. When you were created, you weren’t wearing any makeup.

You were born as your imperfectly perfect self. You don’t need makeup or fancy clothes to make you beautiful; you already are. The easiest way for you to be beautiful is to be yourself. You can wear whatever you want as long as you’re being your amazing self.

2. In movies, the main girl doesn’t usually wear that much makeup.

In "Clueless," Cher doesn’t wear any makeup except for lipstick. She doesn’t wear any because she doesn’t need to, and neither do you. In "Save the Last Dance," Sarah doesn’t wear any makeup whatsoever. However, she still ends up with the love of her life. Neither of these main characters wore makeup, so why should you? You are the main character of your life, and your beauty shines from the inside out.

3. Even famous singers have discussed this topic.

In Hunter Hayes’ song, "Wanted", he points out what girls should know: “Your beauty’s deeper than the makeup.” The same goes for Bruno Mars when he released "Just the Way You Are," the main line of which is, “You’re amazing, just the way you are.” These famous singers realize how beautiful you are without makeup, so why can’t you?

4. If you wear a lot of makeup so a guy will notice you, that’s not right.

You shouldn’t have to hide your face in order for a man to love you. If he really loves you, he will love the real you, not your makeup. If he doesn’t love you without makeup on, then he doesn’t really love you. You deserve to be with someone who adores you and knows how beautiful you really are.

I hope those tips helped you, and that you appreciate yourself a little more now. You are an amazing woman, and you are more beautiful than you think. You don’t need to hide your face to feel pretty because you’re already gorgeous. However, if you do wear makeup, wear it because you want to, not because you feel like you "have" to. The easiest way to be beautiful is to be beautiful on the inside. Then you will be truly beautiful, inside and out. I hope you now know how amazing, wonderful, special and beautiful you really are.

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.
