Why The Kardashians Are Killing Girls' Confidence

Their lives are like everyone's' lives on Instagram; not real.

Now I know we’re all familiar with the famous family (the family that everyone questions how they even got famous), The Kardashian/Jenners: Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kendall and Kylie. These beauties are EVERYWHERE doing EVERYTHING. We see it all day long on social media. They live the most lavish lifestyles and don't want you to forget it. They seem like they have perfect lives (excuse me if I’m a little bitter over it). If I’m keeping it real, you must know, I’m legit a KUWTK junkie. Every Sunday night at 9PM I’m snuggle in bed with a bottle of wine and chips and dip waiting for the infamous Kim K to appear on the screen dishing out some sort of juicy family drama that instantly hooks me for the next 60 minutes.

Since they’ve gotten so famous over the past few years, people seem to forget that there was a time before they ruled the media. Let’s go back in time to 2007 when Kim was Paris Hilton’s assistant/closet organizer. Yaaas, throwback.

The unrealistic beauty standards.

After watching the show for so many years and staring in awe at them, I’ve come to the conclusion that their entire lives are constructed to be marketed. The girls are beautiful, yes, but they definitely don’t wake up like that. Like at all. They have an entire glam squad surrounding them 24/7. That’s why they always look so flawless.

Surgery.

Don't even get me started. Kim swears up and down that her ass is real and even went as far as getting an x-ray of her butt while filming KUWTK. When the x-ray showed that she didn't have butt implants, we believed her for a split second. That's until we put 2+2 together and realized that she got fat injected into her ass, which wouldn't show up on an x-ray. Smart.

I'll just leave this here.

Weave.

Personally, I love hair extensions (or weave, as I call it). Extensions can make your look go from drab to Uber fab and what the hell is wrong with that? Absolutely nothing! Unless you’re wearing them wrong, and trust me, we’ve all been there. I’ve worn extensions for years, and I’m obsessed. I think it’s so cool that I can rock an outfit with short hair or long hair whenever I want. Have you noticed how often the Kardashian’s switch up their hair color and length? One day Kim has jet-black hair, and the next she’s caramel blonde. Khloe has been my number one hair envy lately, though. She can rock her short hair or her extensions. Like you can’t tell at all. That’s dope. Get it girl.


Fashion.

I live for the style of these beauties. Their outfits are literally ALWAYS on point, 100%. It’s actually unhealthy to always look that good. No matter the season, these girls are always looking extra fleek-y. They give me style inspo year-round, which is kind of odd considering they live in California and only have one season. Coming from a New York girl, I’m so jealous that they live in summer 365 days a year. Here is a best look so far from 2016:


These women are dominating the beauty/fashion business and definitely don't plan on stopping anytime soon. They are a brand. They market themselves. If they don't appear perfect to you, then they aren't doing their jobs correctly. So the next time you feel envious of them, think about how their success didn't happen overnight (okay maybe it did, literally, thanks Ray J), and before all that surgery they were normal people with flaws. While they're still killing it in makeup and fashion, though, let's pay attention so we can slay our looks just like they do.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

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.
