Must see Youtube makeup channels for different skin types

So a little bit of information about me I love makeup! It's one of many things that makes me extremely happy! except when I see that price I get sad lol but the reason I really got into wearing makeup, besides looking at my mom try to apply it, were the Youtubers I watched when I was just experimenting. The fun thing with watching YouTubers do makeup is that for some of them they are learning to do makeup with you so they are like your friend.

I prefer all makeup looks whether they look natural or dramatic and so if you are more of one of these the YouTubers below will work. I know when I started watching makeup tutorials I had the trouble of finding YouTubers that used products that mimicked my skin type(oily if you're wondering). So below I have a YouTuber for every skin type that I enjoy watching!

You guys have to remember that these YouTubers are my faves and they tend to have my kind of humor and personality so bare with me if you don't enjoy them as much as I do. I tried to make it as universal to everyone's kind of personality so if you didn't enjoy their channels and you think there are better help us all out and link your option in the comments. I would love to see new channels. Enjoy and let's get started!

Must see T.V series while in college

So I have another segment for you guys to look out for on my blog now and it's Must see's or something along the lines of "Must__" fill in the blank. This is the first one and I'm excited about it! let me know what you think and some suggestions for me to blog on! Enjoy and let's get started <3

In college, us girls go through a lot whether it be hard classes, relationships, and lots more. Have you ever just watched the episode of your favorite show and that episode just spoke to your heart about something in your life well I know I have. Whether the shows be romantic comedy's or dramas those writers know what they're doing and I have five must have shows to binge watch(as long as you're done studying)while you're a growing female in college.
(insert gif)

1.Grey's Anatomy


This by far my favorite show! The show took me a year to watch since I started the series my freshman year and I don't regret one minute of the series. The actors definitely know how to recite medical jibberish but they also know how to explain to their watchers how to overcome loss and long-term friendship. Growing with Christina and Meredith through the show really is fun and tear jerking at the same time

Cry level:5 tear drops

2. Jane the Virgin

HILARIOUS! Best Romantic comedy show! If you have ever seen a telenovela or a soap opera then just think of this show like that but more chill...and again hilarious. You'll get a crash course in forgiveness and mental growth. Through the show, you grow with Jane and mature in the way that you look at situations and your happiness.

Cry level:3

3.American Horrors Story

The show allows you to understand and really look at everybody's story in a frightening and disturbing way lol. It also educates you on some things you had no idea about which can be scary and interesting at the same time. Each season is different a topic so you never get bored. Kind of something to look forward to each semester. When you finish binge-watching the series because of how good they are let me know in the comments which season was your favorite.
Cry level: 0 Freaked out level: 10

4.One Tree Hill

Friends going through high-school and then transitioning through everyday life together.
Cry Level: 3.5

5. A Different World


Kind of a college survival guide. The show provides a perspective of students at an HBCU and all of the different personalities of the characters allow viewers to able to relate with at least one of them.
Cry level:1.5

Lets talk: STD's

It's Monday so you know what that means.. post day! How was everybody's first week back!?! I know I really enjoyed mine, it seems like it went by so fast but we got a long ways to go so let's make it a good one. Let me know below in the comments how your thanksgiving went and/or tell me about your semester ending so far. Remember I have twitter and an email too! ;)

So for this post I decided I was going to make a segment/file, I guess, called Let's talk. I think I'm going to dedicate this to things that we can get to the nitty gritty with; a space where I can give you some tips on things and keep it real with you one hundred percent. Remember this little segment will be fact and a little bit of my opinion so if you don't want to be opened mind or at least try and listen like an adult I would suggest you keep your comments to yourself. If not that's fine too you just won't be acknowledged by me!



So if you go to the University of Iowa you should know that we're the 2nd in the country for STD's. Don't believe me? check! If you don't go to the Univeristy of Iowa good for you, but you still need to know what you could get if you go to any university and choose to have sex.

There are tons of STD's to name, but we'll just talk about the three commonly seen ones on college campuses, what to do if you think you have one of them, and ways to prevent yourself from getting them.


  1. HPV-Human Papillomavirus (HPV) the cause of genital warts as well as cervical cancer. The disease doesn't always show symptoms so you're more than likely will not figure out you have it until it's too late. HPV is incurable and transmitted by skin to skin contact through sexual activity. Transmission rate: High
  2. Chlamydia-Now this bad boy can be transmitted through pretty much everything sexual vaginal, anal, oral sex, shit! you might be able to get it through a cough(I'm obviously kidding). I make the joke because it seems like this bacterial STD is so common at my school but I kid I kid. To be serious though, symptoms are more commonly seen with this STD, but if not it can cause serious problems in the future to men and women reproductive systems. Thankfully, a quick visit to that free clinic for some antibiotics and you'll be as healthy as horse(probably not but you'll be clear) Transmission rate: High
  3. HSV2- More commonly known as Genital Herpes. Genital Herpes infects one in five students a year so just because it's number three on this list doesn't mean it's less important than the others. It spreads just as fast as Chlamydia but it's worse because it's not curable and you know what that means. LIFE. It never goes away.

If any of this came as a shock to you and you're having sex then maybe you should not be having sex because the world is real my young Jedi. STD's will make life, even more, real and faster than you realize.

If you feel that you have any of these tell someone, don't keep this to yourself. Tell your best friend or another close family member because you will kill explode emotionally trying to handle this on your own. If you feel like you can't tell them try and if you still can't there are anonymous websites like Planned Parenthood where you can talk and get answers to your questions at the same time. I had a friend who was going through something involving STD's and she didn't want to tell anyone causing he to go crazy and probably cause her problem to flare up even more due to stress.

Once you have told someone you become less afraid and you have that person now to go through this with. Since you have your friend now you can make your appointment with someone and have them with you to go to the appointment so it isn't so scary. Which brings me to next point get a screening immediately so you can see if you have anything and fast. Even if you feel like you are okay get checked anyway because regardless if you use protection or not, if you are sexually active you need to GET TESTED.

Once you're tested and you're clear of whatever you have or don't have, make sure that you go over what got you in the predicament in the first place and how to prevent yourself for next time. Whether it be abstinence or protection do it there is no reason for why you should be having sex with strangers and not be protected. Even if you have been with this person for a long time still continue to or, at least, try to use condoms. If you just can't seem to get the idea of condoms in your head, at least, make sure you're on birth control(this is obviously meant for ladies) but even with birth control, I HIGHLY suggest that you use protection. I am not a doctor yet but there is a thin barrier between you and STD's don't break it because of carelessness.

TIME TO GO HOME

Heyy y'all! So I can't explain how happy I am to say that tomorrow morning I fly back home! It has been so long since I have seen my friends and I have missed them so much. This week's post will not be about anything special just how my summer went here in Germany.

My vacation here in Germany has been a really good time just because I got to spend it with my family. I never knew how much I missed my family until I saw how much joy I have when I get around them. I have a brother named EJ and he has grown up so much since I had been gone. When coming back he was so much taller and chunkier but that's okay lol. He has played basketball since he was little and since I got back I have gone to all of his practices. He is getting better and better every practice and I am sad I will not be able to see him practice for a little while. I know that when I get back though he is going to great at his games.

Besides watching EJ play all summer, I worked and let me tell you I don't miss it. If I had to say one thing that I will miss from my job it's my co-workers. My co-workers were the best and I will miss them dearly. They were all foreign *insert Trey Songz voice* ,so kind, and extremely funny. All I did at work was stock beauty products, stationary, and candies. It wasn't even makeup when it comes to beauty it was just facial washes and deodorants and crap. The only reason I got through those six hours was because of my co-workers making me laugh at their funny stories about their life. Overall work was a love hate but y'all better believe I am working this winter because the money and hours are good.

I actually got to a lot of traveling this summer but just between two countries. The 4th of July was fun for me and my family because we went to France and I had not been there since I was like 14 so it was nice to actually to see and appreciate it more.When we got there we had to take a hot behind city train to France and ride the tourist bus all around the city. I was dying by the end of the trip because it was so HOT! I had only been to France when it was cold and rainy so that heat came as a total surprise. We go to Disney Euro the rest of the week and basically rode every ride, I felt like a little kid again. I am definitely too old to go there again. I honestly would love to live in France but they need to fix their people attitudes then I'll consider the move lol

Another trip that we had got to go to twice was Belgium and this country was one of my favorites. When I was a little girl I lived in Belgium so it was nice to see where I was basically raised and what was one of my parents first overseas duty stations. We go to some of our favorite restaurants one being called the Pita shop. My family had been getting those pitas since I was a little girl and they are the best thing sliced bread. If you are ever in Belgium and you want to try it just message me I will give you the directions. I got to go see my old house and my parents go to see old friends that they hadn't seen in years. The fam and I also go to go to a place called Mini-Europe which basically like a really boring amusement park. When you walk in they force you take a pic with this orange dino and then you are on your way. After they force you to take the pic though it gets a lot better because once you go in the place is exactly what the title says mini-Europe. You walk in it is miniature structures of all the big monuments in Europe and it's pretty cool(I recommend it).

There is really nothing else I have to say about my summer! I loved it but it's time to go back to the city!
