So What If Alicia Keys Doesn't Wear Makeup?

I mean really, who cares?

So What If Alicia Keys Doesn't Wear Makeup?
Time

A woman decides to go out in front of millions of people without make up on her face and people get their panties in a twist.

This alone is what is wrong with society. And if you're not familiar with what's going on, I'll fill you in.

Alicia Keys has been living her life with a bare face. No make up, no nothin'. Simple right? In this world, not quite. She set foot on the VMAs red carpet without make up and everyone was quick to judge her. Some people adored the idea, and others just continued to throw shade.

What Alicia Keys is doing is something pretty uncommon nowadays. There are 12 year old girls wearing full faces of make up because they believe that makeup is the only thing that will make them beautiful, and this is far from the truth. Beauty comes from within, and teaching young girls that what you see on the outside is all that matters is truly damaging society. If you love to wear make up, in the words of Alicia Keys, 'Do you!'.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with makeup. I wear it, and I know plenty of people, men and women, who wear it. What's wrong is that people are upset and judging someone for doing something that makes them happy, something that makes them feel beautiful.

I support Alicia Keys for standing up and saying that she truly enjoys being without makeup, and I believe many girls should look up to her for this. I mean, how many people have the guts to stand up for themselves nowadays anyway?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
