How. Do. They. Do. That?

Magic? Luck? A unicorn sneezed glitter and beautiful, complimentary colors onto their face?!

I have watched hundreds of YouTube videos in the past three years, most of which have been makeup tutorials. Before you judge me, let me explain that this is how I unwind. My entire life, I have needed to have a creative outlet — drawing classes, painting canvases and now makeup. I de-stress by sitting at my desk with my makeup, watching YouTube tutorials and practicing. I am currently subscribed to 41 beauty vloggers and I own 18 lipsticks. I swear this isn't excessive... it's extensive research!

Here are just 16 thoughts I have while watching a makeup tutorial:

1. Youtube is my homepage, again, please don't judge me.

2. *Goes straight to my subscriptions and clicks on the latest makeup tutorial. What did the title say? Idk! If there's makeup involved, I am going to watch!

3. *Anxiously waits throughout the intro — Let's cut the talking and get to the makeup, ladies and gents!

4. Is that a primer or a magic eraser- Be gone, pores!

5. OMG! That foundation makes her skin look FLAWLESS! I need it in my life! *Adds to Sephora cart

6. It's probably because of her beauty sponge. Everyone loves a good beauty sponge. Dabdabdabdabdab.

7. Can I brow-ow your eyebrow products? Because yours are on FLEEK! That reminds me, I should tweeze mine...

8. Middle fingers up, tell them dark circles "bye." Tell them dark circles, "bye."

9. Prediction: Creme Brulee and Cocoa Bear in the crease. Nailed it!

10. Blend. Blend, Blend. Blend. Blend. Blend.

11. I see the light from the heavens shining down on your glittery lid shade!!

12. A moment of silence for the gel liner. WHAT?! How did it glide on so effortlessly?! It looks like I dipped my finger in Nutella and wiped it across my eyelid!

13. Bronzed goddess! She went to Cancun and back in the matter of seconds, no biggie.

14. Must have: Milani Lumnioso blush. It's oh-so beautiful!

15. I'm blinded by the highlight! #iaintsorry

16. Seal the deal with the blood of your enemies. JUST KIDDING! Use an obsessive amount of Mac Fix+.

Voila! Another masterpiece, or another lesson learned.

Bottom line: If you're feelin' yourself, do you boo! Makeup or not, you are flawless :)

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
