What It's Like To Do Your Makeup, As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'
Salon

1. You start doing your makeup, and you're super psyched.

This is it. This is the day you're going to do your makeup and it's going to be perfect, and you're going to look like a goddess. You start playing your music and you get all your makeup out, and you feel the fierceness inside begin to grow.

2. But then, you start to mess up.

Within approximately 4 seconds, you've managed to do something wrong. Maybe it's mascara all over your eyelid or maybe you got concealer on your favorite shirt. Whatever it is, you want to give up and run away.

3. But like a true trooper, you continue.

You are a goddess and you are too determined to up. You just take a second to have a tiny meltdown, then you're good to go.

4. But then it's time to do your eyeliner.

Everyone knows the worst part of doing your makeup is achieving that thin line and perfect wing. And of course, you mess it up, because that's how your day is going.

5. When you try to fix anything, it just gets so much worse.

When you wipe off the bit of eye shadow that fell onto your cheek, you end up smearing it across your entire face. When you try to make your eyeliner thicker to hide your mistakes, you end up with the worst raccoon eyes know to man.

6. But when you're done, it's so worth it.

Because honestly, what's more fulfilling than doing a great face of makeup? Probably a lot of things, but at the moment you finish, it feels like the biggest achievement of your entire life.

7. And even though it's not perfect...

Your eyebrows end up a little wonky and your eyeliner wings are not exactly even. You still look fierce as hell, so who cares? Not you.

8. Then you go out into the world like...

You are a beautiful tropical fish and you know it. You go to dinner or class or out with your friends and you feel like total hot stuff. After the whole ordeal of doing your makeup, you know that you look good and you're happy.

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.
