The School Makeup

Hello Everybody!

I know most schools are pretty shifty about makeup. My school is kind of okay with it, however it must be very natural. I have two products I use, and they work great together ( + matching packaging... win win!). 

On my face: The Body Shop All-In-One BB Cream

This is cool, cause the formula goes on white and blends to your skin tone, which is great as there is no makeup line. The coverage is sheer but just enough to get an even layer.

On my Eyes: Bare Minerals Lash Domination Mascara

I love this one! This mascara lengthens really naturally and just looks like you've tinted your eyelashes. It's not waterproof so I only curl my lashes on sports days.

So there you go! Let me know in the comments what you wear to school, if you wear any. I don't think it is necessary, but I enjoy putting it on.

( + Thank you to those of you who commented on my last post, it was so nice to hear from you!)

It's okay not to be okay

Hello Everyone,

I'm sure you've all noticed how irregular my posting has been since about July. I'm aware this isn't a very big community, but I want to be honest with you all, and I hope you know that I'm here for everyone of you. So, let's get started.

It really hasn't been my year. A lot of tough things have happened, and I wasn't able to deal with them, school, home and keeping this blog updated. First off, my parent's decided that they weren't right for one another anymore. Even though it wasn't a shock, it's still a very difficult time period, telling your friends, moving homes once a week, ecetera. I'm sure people who have experienced it will understand the feeling.  All of this made me decide that people change, and you have to change too, even if they used to be the most important people in your life. 

This caused me to look at my relationships, and I decided that my friendship group was a toxic one. It wasn't their fault, they didn't bully me or anything, our ideals were just too different. But sometimes I still sit with them, because I really struggle with change. Scary stuff. Hopefully one day I'll be able to adjust to new people better.

But by far, the biggest hurdle has been battling anxiety. I've always been a worrier, but anxiety and panic attacks have been a huge part of my life this year. It has been really, really hard. The hardest part is talking about it, as some of the closest people to me have referred to my anxiety as a disorder and illness, and my panic attacks as cop out. I'm taking steps to deal with it, starting with visiting a councilor. I'm not sure if it will help, let's see.

Something this has taught me is that it's okay not to be okay. I'm still here, I'm still getting through, I'm still working towards making my life better. I'm not okay at the moment, but that might be okay for now.
