If I Wear Make-Up, It's All Or Nothing

It can just be so much work.

There are three different types of girls in the majority, the girl who wears make-up every single day, the girl who wears no make-up and the girl who wears make-up occasionally. I am the latter of the three, but to be honest, I cannot do casual make-up. I am not the girl who can throw on a little bit of make-up and go on my way. If I am putting it on, then I am doing a full face of make-up.

Now don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the girl who wears make-up, but I just simply cannot justify it. First of all, make-up is expensive and when you use it that regularly, it will have to be replaced more often and that can end up costing you a good amount of money, especially based on what make-up you end up buying.

Another reason I barely wear make-up is just that of the time it would take in the morning to do it. I'm sorry, but I value my sleep and if I can get an extra 20 minutes of sleep, I will take that overdoing make-up any day. Plus some mornings are already hard or crazy as it is, so adding make-up on top of that can just be too much.

Make-up is such a great thing though. When you get those days where you have plenty of time to get ready and you can spend time on your make-up and it turns out really well, it's such a great feeling. I may only wear make-up when I feel like it or for special occasions, but I still love it.

From beauty tutorials to make-up reviews, it is so amazing to see what people can do with make-up. Some of these looks leave me in awe because of how talented these people are and the looks that they can achieve. On top of being able to create these awesome looks, make-up adds to the beauty that you already have. There are sometimes where it just feels really nice to get all dolled up.

Make-up is also pretty a pretty fun thing to do. From trying different eyeshadows to lipsticks and even highlighters, there are so many possible mixes and combinations that you can achieve and create. In the end, even if you don't wear make-up on a daily basis or even if you do, you have to find the routine that works best for you and your lifestyle. Just because you don't wear it every day, doesn't make you any less beautiful. I may not be a fantastic beauty guru or even a great make-up artist, but I still truly enjoy make-up and I like wearing it, but if I do wear it, I am going all in or all out. There is no in-between and that's okay!

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.
