With those chubby cheeks and doe-like eyes

Pros and Cons of Having a "Baby Face"
Claire Larkin

I’ve definitely struggled with having a “baby face” my whole life. I have always hated my chubby cheeks and innocent smile. After thinking about it more, I have come up with a list of pros and cons and a final thought about having the dreaded, or maybe not so dreaded baby face. Let’s start with the cons…

Cons…

1. People will always think you are at least three years younger than you actually are

No. I promise I'm 19, not 15.

2. You will always be 'cute' no matter how old you are

You thinkIt you will bypass this at some point in your life, right? Yeah, not gonna happen.

3. Your cheeks will always be brought up when discussing your adorable appearance

Yes, I have chubby cheeks. No, you may not pinch them.

4. No amount of makeup or facial exercises will work, at all

Do as much contouring and make all the fish face you want. Nothing will help, trust me.

5. You are usually looked at as naive and inexperienced

Just because I look young doesn't mean I haven't lived at all.


Pros...

1. People will always tell you how cute you are

Yes, I know I said this was a con. But at least you're cute and not ugly, right?

2. You can get away with a lot more

With that sweet, innocent face, you can never do anything wrong. Or so they think.

3. You will age gracefully

It stinks to look so young when you're young. But someday you will thank your God given genes for blessing you with the gift of a youthful appearance.

4. Relatives will love on you more

If you look younger, you will most likely receive more hugs and kisses (and money) from grandma.

5. You can get away with more sass

Since you appear to be sweeter, you can actually be sassier to balance out the ratio.


Final thought...

1. Embrace yourself and your appearance

There's no other person to act or look like than you. That is truer than true.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
