WHAT IS YOUR FACE SHAPE?
Are you someone who tries to copy makeup styles from either a social media influencer or from your favorite actress or model? DON’T! You are YOU-NIQUE! What looks good on them may not look good on you, and you most likely don’t have the same facial structure or features they do. Please comment if you’d […]

CONVERSATION STARTERS_QUESTION #3
“How often do you get a haircut? Describe your worst haircut.” My Answer: Even though, having shorter hair, I should probably get it cut every 6 weeks, I stretch it 8-10 weeks to save money. I can recall two haircuts that made me really unhappy… The first was when I was in high school. One […]

THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST
Living In The Past When I remember the past it seemed like a simpler time. When we’re children we don’t have a care in the world. The lucky ones have a roof over their heads, have someone to feed and clothe them, and hopefully nurture them into being the best person they can be. Most […]
