Makeup tips

I know the most recurring thought in a teenage girl's mind is how does her makeup look? Is it running? Does it make her look like a Barbie doll, and so on. Here are my tips on how to make sure you always look your best.
1: Pick the right colors: Neon colors do not look good on anyone no matter who you are. If you want to use colors like blue or orange use light, pale shades so that it looks natural. If people are turning their heads to look at how bright your makeup is, it's not a good sign.
2: Don't use too much: Piling on eye shadow, mascara, or lipstick isn't helping you at all. Putting on too much makes you look like a clown or sometimes for sale. Highlighting your natural beauty and trying to look like circus folk is definitely not the same thing.
There are two most basic but important rules to applying your makeup: don't change your looks for a guy and remember to feel comfortable in your own skin.

What is Marijuana?

Marijuana is a very powerful drug that can literally mess with your head. Marijuana is a mixture of the hemp plant's dried stems, leaves, seeds, and flowers. There are around 400 different chemicals in this mix and some cause cancer. More teens get addicted to marujuana than any of the other illegal drugs combined and they also have a greater of developing depression in adulthood.
If that isn't enough to change your mind about experimenting with marijuana then read this, people who are addicted to marijuana are more likely to develop schizopherina and/or paranoia. Remember, there are many names for marijuana including grass, weed, pot, dope, and Mary Jane. Even with all these names you must remember that it is all the same drug and it will hurt you mentally and physically starting from your first joint.

Sleep Depervation

Now that school has started up again and the homework is being piled on I know it's hard to find the time for the one thing our bodies need the most, sleep. When we are sleeping our body is restoring itself from the day before and preparing itself for the day ahead. Our minds are taking this period to calm down and sort things out. Without sleep our lives turn into utter chaos: your attention span shortens, your temper is much shorter, you lose interest in stuff you love, and your grades will go downhill. It doesn't help your apperance any either, (bags under you eyes). To stay feeling and looking healthy do yourself a favor and get some sleep!

Seat Belts

Today I'm going to give you a brief talk about seat belts. I know most people think they're dumb and useless. But I'm here to tell you otherwise. People who are in accidents without their seat belts on are more likely to be injured then someone who has theirs on. I rolled my pickup earlier today with my seat belt on and walked away from it. If I didn't have it on I might not have been so lucky.

Seat Bealts: They will save your life.

Tanning Dangers

I know that summer time is coming soon and lots of you girls are thinking about how pale winter has left their skin. But here's my advice for the day, "don't use tanning beds!" First off, they're extremely expensive; it would take more than your summer job to pay for just one month. Second, lying in the sun is safer than a tanning bed because their UV rays are way more extreme. Third, they make acne and bacne worse because they increase inflammation. Fourth and prehaps the most important, tanning beds are PROVEN to cause cancer. So if you want a tan do it the old fashioned way, the natural way.

Dating the Bad Boys

I know what most of us think of dating bad boys: danger, excitment, and adventure. But really it's fights, cheating, and broken hearts. Boys who live wild aren't faithful, have anger issues, and need to be in control. They won't respect you, they just want someone and they can have several girls at once. Just be wise, date someone who will care for YOU!!

Catching an Eating Disorder

I know what you’re thinking, “There’s no way to catch an eating disorder.” But the truth is that if you hangout with someone who has an eating disorder they can give it to you. If they don’t eat certain foods it will make you feel bad about eating it in front of them, if they only eat a certain amount of calories you could start too. You may still think it can’t happen to you but here’s how your judgment could be clouded: the thought of being judged. Not wanting to be thought badly of by your peers can lead to being just like them. Just remember: being yourself is all that matters and if someone doesn’t like it, well then it’s their fault for not seeing your beauty.
