How did we get here?

I feel like I'm taking slow steps but my life is flying by me

I'm in slow motion but everything else is moving at full speed

I won't let this summer go

I'm grasping it desperately

I'm living in the moments

Laughing with you

Eating Chick-fil-a late on Wednusday night

Cherishing every second with you

I known you have to leave

But I won't think about you leaving soon, so soon

I'll be strong

I'll let you  learn to be yourself

and I'll learn to be me

When I fill your shoes, but  not completely

I'll adore every second you give me

And understand when you can't

You're ready to glide and I'm ready to start flying

We're not little kids anymore

You're an adult and I will be soon

You're a rising college Freshmen, and I'm a rising highschool sophomore

How did we get here?

Yesterday you were crying about me destroying your train tracks and Mom was spanking me

Today you're telling me to sing louder and I'm telling you to keep writing music

Late at night in the garage

You play a musical masterpiece and claim it as your own

I clap my hands in delight

Your ready to take on the world
and
 I'm ready learn how to take on the world

Summer Beauty Tips

Summer is one of the hardest times of the year as far as beauty goes.  It's an extremely social time so you want to look your best, but the heat makes you lethargic.  You're out of a regular routines so you forget about quickly doing makeup in the morning or grabbing it on the way out of the door.  You don't feel like spending hours picking through your closet to find the perfect outfit.

Shoes

Find two or three pairs of shoes that you love and will go with everything.  Keep them easily available and just throw them on.

Makeup

If you don't feel like doing a ton of makeup, don't.  Do a quick natural look.  Mascara, powder, highlighter, blush, and light lip gloss.  Embrace your natural beauty.  You'll gain confidence and look naturally gorgeous.

Summer suggestions

                                                           Elf yellow color corrector.
You're out in the heat so your mascara and eyeliner will smudge slightly.  When you get back inside apply the color corrector under your eyes and brush powder over it.  No one will know your makeup ran.

                                               Cover Girl Mascara clump crusher
This mascara is literally perfection.  You can do one layer for a light, day-time look or you can layer it for a night-time event.

Maybelline New York Super Stay Matte Ink

I love this lip stain because it stays on your lip for forever, and has a matte finish.  My color is Believer. 

 

Nails

Find you're happy color.  This summer, mine is black because it matches everything and is perfect for every occasion.

Hair

Seriously just wear it natural, or braid it to get a beachy wave.  Please don't spend hours curling or straightening your hair.  Just go with a nice natural looking wave.

Jewelry

The chokers are in.  I love them because they add so much to any outfit.

Summer suggestions

This is a 5-pack that I found out of all places, Kirkland's.

I also love the ear-cuffs.  They aren't you're traditional earring but they add so mush personality.

Clothes

Have a few outfits you cycle through.  The trick is to throw an outfit together and then wear it multiple places with different people.  If you have different social settings, no one will know you're re-wearing things ;)
