Thank you Fenty

Didn't think you could love Rihanna anymore than you already do? Here's another reason.

Even if you aren’t make up obsessed I am sure you haven’t been able to go a day on social media without seeing the beauty brand “Fenty” since it was launched. For everyone who has positioned themselves under a rock, Fenty is Rihanna’s new makeup line and I have to say personally, I am impressed. No, I have not used any of her products, but I am impressed in a whole different way.

I am a pale, white, redhead who has never had an issue finding her shade when it comes to makeup. Honestly, I just take the lightest foundation I can find and more times than not, it’s just about a perfect fit. I have never had an issue being able to find the makeup I need and to be totally honest, I didn’t realize anyone would have an issue. I have never thought outside of my world when it comes to makeup because I’ve thankfully never had an issue. Maybe that makes me ignorant or uneducated, but I am here to say thank you Fenty, because I am sure I am not the only one who needed to open their eyes.

So thank you Fenty beauty products. I am stunned to think that I have gone this long without realizing that some people are unable to find their shades of makeup. I have gone 21 years blinded to the fact that something I love so much such as makeup, could have had this insane diversity I’ve never noticed. So thank you Fenty, for opening my eyes to this issue.

My mind is still blown that on her first launch Rihanna released 40 different shades of foundation! Too many celebrities just slap their name on a makeup formula and sadly it sells because fame sells. Too many fans spend money on makeup products that are not worth the price tag just because of the name attached. So the fact a celebrity who could have just slapped her name on a bottle and made so much money took the time to grow and make her line different, makes me so happy.

The makeup community needed something like this. The makeup community needed something to open their eyes. The makeup community needed a solution to a problem that does not get enough attention.

So thank you Fenty and thank you Rihanna for opening my eyes to an issue I have never recognized before.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.
