Materials: scar putty, cling wrap, red, black, blue, green, and yellow cream paint, paint brush, fake blood, sponges

Step 1:

Apply spirit gum in the area that the wax will be in and tap until it's sticky. Dab cotton so it leaves some behind as something the wax will hold onto.


Step 2:

Put a good layer of scar wax on top of the area of cotton. Smooth out the edges so it blends with the skin. You don't want the layer to be so thick that there's a bulge, but you don't want it so thin that you couldn't see the bite. It doesn't have to be completely smooth either as your bite will change the thickness and hide any thinner/thicker parts. Experiment with it and see what works for you. The great thing about scar wax is that you can always adjust it to do what you need it to.

Step 3:

Place cling wrap on top of the wax. Ensure that its tight and doesn't have wrinkles because they will show up. Loosely bite down or have someone bite down (depending on the placement) and slowly peel the cling wrap off starting at one end towards the other.




Step 4:

OPTIONAL: Match the wax to your skin tone using foundation. Some online websites do offer different shades of scar wax if you have lighter or darker skin tones.

Step 5:

Paint bruises on the outer edges using sponges. Refer to my tutorial on cuts and bruises if you need help.


Step 6:

Paint black on the base of the teeth indents. Paint red over the black and in the rest of the indent.


Step 7:

Paint light pink around the indents to simulate irritated skin.


Step 8:

Cover in blood. Put blood in the indents and add extra to run out. Splatter blood on and around the wound. You can never use too much blood.


Side note: If you want to make it look infected like a zombie bite paint light purple and green veins. Also use more green and yellow on the outer edges of the bruises.

To remove the wax, I usually just gently scrape it off with an old gift card or a wooden clay tool. Spirit gum remover also helps both the excess wax and the spirit gum to come off.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
