You do you.

Why is makeup such a big deal?

None.

There is absolutely no connection between the amount of makeup a girl wears (or doesn't) and anyone but her.

No one has the right to tell a woman to:

-Wear makeup.

-Not wear makeup.

-Criticize makeup.

Here are a couple times that people thought it was okay to judge:

1.

First of all, I think it is great that we live in a country where anyone can freely discuss anything and everything, however, I do think it is a little ridiculous that there was an entire segment dedicated to discussing how makeup may or may not empower these amazing olympic women or if they should or should not wear it. For the women who wore makeup during their olympic events and while receiving their medals, you looked great. For the women who didn't wear makeup during their olympic events and also received medals, you looked great as well.

2.

Alicia Keys has been on a make-up free lifestyle for some time now, but for some reason people felt the need to criticize when she came to The VMA's without any makeup on.

The response:




Think about it 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🙄😂 this is deep😳 #naturallove I'm not mad I'm just saying:)

And just a heads up to all the girls out there who criticize other women, not just about makeup, if you don't stand up for women why would a man?

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

Great Value Colleges

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
