For those who cannot go without a little extra color

The Struggle of Lipstick Addicts

If lipstick is just as necessary as deodorant every day for you, you will understand how difficult it can be living with this adoration. So, the lipstick life chose you; now it's up to you to keep it flawless 24/7. The million different shades of lip color give you as much joy as a room of puppies. But with great power comes great responsibility, and you know that there is so much more to it than the application.

Your life is planned around your choice

Outfit, jewelry, food choices, eye makeup, Instagram filters are all subject to change based on what color you choose to rock.

NO ONE is safe

Lipstick marks are left on everyone and everything. Significant others will absolutely hate you because of your color transfers, but they have to understand what they are getting themselves into when dating a lipstick lover. When at a family gathering you can easily tell who you greeted simply from the awkward half-lip, cheek kiss mark you left on every family member who came to say hi. Also, you never have to worry about someone stealing a bite of your food since it always looks like this:

Speaking of eating, it is more of a chore than a joy

It leaves you looking like an idiot, but we're all caught doing this in an effort to preserve your fleek.

You do not drink anything if a straw is not readily available

There is no way you are letting your lipstick fade away simply because you were a little thirsty. Straws are found all over your kitchen and even in your purse so that, no matter where you are, you're ready for that wave of dehydration. And of course, every straw is left with your mark.

Your BIGGEST nightmare is lipstick on your teeth

And if your friends allow you to stroll around with your pearly whites covered in red, then they clearly are no longer a good friend of yours.

Lipstick compliments are what you take to heart most

When people drop the "wow, you really can wear red lipstick well" your heart melts immediately. If someone appreciates your lipstick choice and mentions it to you, you immediately look to become their best friend.

It is an art that cannot be rushed

Of course you could quickly throw it on, but it would leave you looking more like a three year old than you already do. Miranda Sings is the only one that can pull off the clown lipstick, so don't expect me to attempt it because we're late.

The doors to Sephora are like passing through the gates of Heaven

So. Many. Options. You spend at least an hour just swatching and you test all the top picks you watched in in your favorite YouTuber's monthly favorite video.

By the time you find your new favorite, your arm looks like this

Because we all know that each nude is completely different from the rest.

You own ten different shades of your favorite color

Once you rock a color you get every single variation of it, since they are all different to you, but no one on the outside can really tell .

You have made at least three friends simply because you ask about what color they're wearing

Whether it's at a party, in the bathroom, or in the hallways, if you see someone slaying a shade you have to comment on it. And of course ask what exact lipstick it is so you can look into it later.

One mistake can be a game over

Do not talk to me when I am putting liquid lipstick on. Because I will mess up, and it won't come off.

But you will never go without it because you KILL IT

Not many have the confidence to wear bold colors, or even lipstick at all; so if you got it, flaunt it.

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.
