Makeup is one of the best parts of getting ready. You get yourself from a solid 4 to a definite 7.5 in a matter of minutes. It’s a time when you can socialize with your friends and sing along to some of your favorite jams before heading out to whatever you’re off to next.

If you’re the “makeup guru” of your friend group, you probably agree with me. At the same time, there are so many nuances that pop up when it comes to being the “know it all” of getting ready. If you’re the makeup guru of your friend group, you probably agree with these 11 things.

1. Your friends almost always ask you to do their makeup for the night

You really enjoy doing their makeup, but at the same time, you’ve got to get ready too.

2. If you don’t have time, they’ll settle for just the eyeshadow or a nice contour

If you must...

3. Every time they go to Sephora or Ulta, they invite you to tag along

You’re honored. Your bank account is not.

4. For every birthday, they get you some sort of makeup product

Thank goodness they understand you.

5. Whenever you’re not around, they ask you for makeup advice

What products should I get with my Sephora gift card? Does a red lip look good with this outfit?

6. You get lots of compliments on your makeup

Your friends really know how to gas you up.

7. When you compliment your friends on their makeup, they’re honored

But really, your friends are beautiful either way.

8. You sometimes worry about running out of makeup

You have so much that TBH you probably couldn’t run out of makeup, but you worry sometimes because you love your products too much.

9. You wash your makeup brushes more than usual

You’ve got to keep your skin clear when your brushes have touched everyone else’s skin.

10. You offer your friends unsolicited makeup advice

You regret it later, but you really just want the best for them.

11. You high-key love that they know how much you enjoy makeup

#Blessed to be here, ladies and gentlemen.

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.
