Great Beauty Tips!!
As a makeup artist, I've worked with teens, brides, performers, and even those in reality television. I've had the pleasure of meeting women of all color. Beauty is defined differently all arond the world. Every culture and generation has it's very own meaning of beauty. But there is one thing that we all have in common. There is one thing that every race, every woman wants. That one thing is something that you already possess. It is Youth. Everyone wants it but you have it. Don't believe me? Browse your local drugstore (ex: Walgreens) or Beauty store (ex: Ulta). Pay attention to the amount of age defying or youth renewing products in there. Many seek to rewind time.
The best beauty advice that I could give you is this: Celebrate your youth. Enjoy your God given beauty. You are unique. Just think, there's no one else that's an exact duplicate of you. Only you can be the best you. Here are a few tips on how to let you shine through.
Preteens: Makeup? eh...The last thing you want is to look like an eleven year old who doesnt enjoy being eleven. Don't rush to become a teenager. It will happen. In the meantime, embrace your preteens by rocking clear mascara to help define those naturally beautiful lashes, This won't add color but it will help to comb out tangles, long lashes and enourage them to stay put. Think of it as gel for the lashes. Add some lipgloss and you're ready to go!
Age 13-16: When I was this age, I thought that black eyeliner was the one and only answer. Boy was I wrong. With your parents consent, try a soft brown eyeliner. This will keep your eyes fresh and beautiful. Cheek stains or cream blush will add color to the face without looking clown like.
Age 17-20: Ok, so you're old enough now to wear black eyeliner. But even so, you want to look current and not dated. Here's a good soft smokey look. Take your eyeliner from the outer corner of your lash line (this is right along your bottom lashes) and bring it to the midlle. Next, take your pinky finger and smooth the liner from the outer corner all the way to inner corner. Interested in foundation? Try mineral powder. It's light, oil free and doesn't irritate the skin. Cream blushes are fantastic for a flush of color without the "I'm wearing blush" look.
I hope that these tips inspire you to be the best you. Beauty begins witing. So shine on girls, shine on. :)

Top 5 Relationships You Should Have When Finding Yourself.
Do you ever have a problem and wonder who you should talk to, and that wouldn't betray your trust?Do you find yourself thinking about an imaginary list of people to call, if only you felt comfortable trusting them with your heart and the feelings and emotions that run through it? If so, you may be ready to examine the 5 relationships you should have while finding yourself and now is the time to create the list.The relationship list should include:-Yourself- God, the father{He will introduce you to his entourage }- Your parents- Great people who encourage you, pray with you and often tell you when you are missing the mark. (they could be grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, coaches, neighbors or people you may encounter only once)- Siblings ( often times they are on the journey with you or they have a great insight on life)The reason why it is important to do this, is because you need to know who can help you become who you are destined to become. The disclaimer is you must put the work in. You must work on you, first!How? One way to learn what you like and dislike is to take field trips with yourself. Go to the library or bookstore and read the latest magazines or chapters in certain books and don't be afraid to read something out of the norm. Read something that will challenge your thinking. The worst thing that could happen is you may enjoyit :-).Take notice of the relationship with your parents. If you only know one, work on your relationship with that one. Ask yourself if you are you trying to find a common ground with your them? Maybe you can bake some cookies and eat them in bed with them, while chit chatting or while sitting on the couch drinking some cold milk. Cookies and milk are so relaxing plus it brings your defenses down.If you want to know God, you can spend some time learning about him and who he is to you. You may inquire to what his voice sounds like or what makes him smile or why you created.Some of the best relationships are made between siblings. I guess it is an unspoken bond that happens in the heavens. When your brother or sister performs well, do you take notes on their accomplishment and congratulate them? If they are locked up, do you write them letters just to let them know that they are in your thoughts?Relationships are inevitable . The point I want you remember is, to build lasting relationships during your journey of life because you will always be growing and changing. The key is to have conversations with those persons listed and grow into the loving, considerate,awe-inspiring; you!

Ingredients to Success!!!
My name is Raven Robinson, currently in my last year as a political science major at the The City College of New York. I work as a freelance publicist for a new small business's throughout the tri-state area.
If I can offer any advice for upcoming female entrepreneurs it will be NETWORK. A word we hear often, but many underestimate this system. Creating connections with people you can learn from as well as you can aide has great long terms effects on your career as well as mental state. Constant connection around a particular group of peers in your industry of choice offers creates a well needed support group needed for advancement in any field. Being able to express trials and triumphs to people who have already experienced them makes you feel good, and ensures you receive quality advice moving forward.
Apart of networking is not solely emailing Christmas cards or being around people you can benefit from it is about building genuine relationships with positive people with your same goal. I am not saying an actor can not be friends with an accountant but their grind is different in terms of strategy and their interest are different when it comes to particular "industry trends". A great way to make these connections are by getting to know people in your major, joining organizations built around your specific goals. Some informal things are following people in your field on twitter, or linkedin groups with similar interest.
Networking is top ingredient for becoming successful!

Relationships in College
When I first came to college I was in a relationship with my “high school sweetheart” of four years. Yes I was one those girls that felt like we would be together forever and that it was against the world blah blah blah lol. I just knew we was meant for each other, but little did I know, it would end shortly after I started college (two months to be exact). I was heartbroken like anybody else would be that I was stressing out causing my hair to fallout (by the way the back will not grow back to its original length lol). That was a tough first start of college smh, but I managed to make it through with the help of my friends at the time (some of them are no longer my friends). It took me just about a whole year to fully get over him and yes I’m still single. But I would tell you that in this time that I have been single I have learned a lot about myself and what I want from a guy, cause boyyy I tell you I came across a different kind of species of men in these two years smh, that I even just gave up hope until September 2011 (but I always remained focused on me and my school work). I decided to give this one person a chance (four months to be exact) and as of Saturday I found out he was trying to play me over winter break up until the first week on school smh, boys always playing games, so I’m done with that one.
The moral of my story is, when you go to college everyone expects people to be more mature and act their age in not they shoe size but some people are still simply immature and not ready to grow up. Being in a relationship in college should not be anyone’s main focus because it tends to take away your focus from your school work and yourself (that happened to my friend so now she has to play catch-up). If you do happen to be in relationship that’s all fine and dainty but don’t ever let it steer you in the opposite direction of what’s in important. Also please just keep your eyes open and do not ignore the red flags that appear in your face like I did because if I would have paid attention then maybe just maybe I wouldn't have gotten played like I did lol (I laugh because it’s funny to me now). Finally please remember to make your school work is always number like I did and still do, because you do not want to have to play catch up and be a year behind like some people I know (not that relationships were the only reasons they fail behind but it played a part) because I refuse to pay Aurora University 28,000 of my dollars after the years of 2013 unless it is for graduate school.
P.S do not worry about relationships in college, just worry about yourself and education!!!!!!!! Thanks for reading
