The One Beauty Product I Refuse to Live without

There are billions upon billions of makeup products that exist and I can live without all of them except one.

Some of you are going to read this article and you're going to think "Damn, she's crazy," and some of you are going to read this and think "Oh my god, she gets it!" Don't get me wrong, I love makeup. I love doing my eyebrows, I love doing some sharp wings here and there, I love bright red lipstick, and I love doing some nice wispy lashes. I love it all. I waste so much of my money on makeup and to be honest, I couldn't care less! Okay, yes I care that I'm broke because of my makeup addiction but also like, come on! MAKEUP!

Everyone has that one product they can't live without or even that one product that they can't leave the house without. For some of you, it's mascara. For others, it's your eyebrows. It could also be blush, or highlighter, or bronzer, or even eyeliner. Everyone has their little something-something and trust me, I am all for it.

For me though, it's none of those things. So now you're probably stumped. You're probably thinking, "Oh my god, she's one of those girls who refuse to leave the house without foundation." If you thought that, then let me just tell you absolutely not! I am the world's laziest person and sometimes can't even be bothered to brush my hair so if you think I'm going to put on foundation every single day then try again!

I'm sure I've kept you waiting long enough... the one product I can't leave my house without is... chapstick!

Some of you probably don't consider chapstick as makeup but I definitely do. It moisturizes your lips and it can even be tinted if you wanted it to be. And if you don't want it tinted, it's simply just a little gloss and shine for you.

If I had to be honest, I probably own about 5 different chapsticks right now. I have my car chapstick, my purse chapstick, my bedroom chapstick, my backpack chapstick, my work chapstick (in my apron), and a bathroom chapstick. That probably seems so obsessive to you but for me, it's not enough.

Make fun of me all you want, but at least I'll never have chapped lips.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
