You Don't Need to Wear Makeup Every Day to Feel Beautiful

Do not discredit your natural beauty.

As someone who struggles with insecurities, I always hid behind makeup. Of course, makeup is an amazing and creative art form, one that I still partake in, but wearing makeup every day was taking a toll on my personal confidence and my skin. I have cystic acne so putting piles of makeup on was not helping the situation.

More recently, I have started wearing less makeup. Even the act of wearing less makeup has boosted my confidence and has allowed me to express myself without worrying if my foundation is getting splotchy and oily. My skin has started clearing up as well! Though I still wear makeup from time to time (trust me you will not find me without some mascara on!) But eliminating it from my daily routine has helped me save time in the morning!

Overall the idea of makeup is very misconstrued. It is always too much or too little. Makeup comes in many different art forms and that is the beautiful thing about it! You can do whatever you want to when it comes to putting products on your face. Just do not believe that you need to have a full face on to be beautiful, show who you are. Who you are is more beautiful than any color eyeshadow or highlight.

In the words of everyone's favorite drag queen "If you can't love yourself, then how in the hell are you gonna love anybody else" -RuPaul

Don't ever doubt your outer or inner beauty, because it is there inside all of us, it just depends on how we decide to share it with the world.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
