To The Guys Who Tell Me I Wear Too Much Makeup
Rd.com

Every day, constantly, all I hear is: "You wear too much makeup," "You look better natural," and my personal favorite, "Guys don't like girls who wear a ton of makeup." Your point is?

Since when did wearing makeup mean that I'm trying to impress anyone? I don't wear it because I'm self conscious, and even if I were, why should that matter to you? So what I like to have a dramatic eye look, put on some falsies every once in awhile, or maybe even throw on a black lipstick (just kidding, you can't just throw that on, that takes a considerable amount of time, but you get the idea). Yes, I'm wearing concealer and foundation, even powder, but what concern does that have toward you and the way you live your life?

Every day the makeup world is drastically changing. Trends are coming and going, new products are being released, and as someone who genuinely just enjoys wearing it and the task of putting it on, I love to just simply do my makeup. Some days I can be natural and barely wear any, do a smokey eye or a cut crease if I'm going out, or experiment with different colors. The possibilities are endless. Makeup is not only a way to boost your confidence, but a way of self expression. It's never permanent, and at the end of the day you get to take your makeup wipe and start all over again in the morning.

So the next time you question why I do what I do with my makeup, don't. And if you do, you won't even get the chance because my highlighter will blind you in the process.

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.

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.
