Blemishes? Not so much. Blame it on stress, hormones, <... >
“Seize upon that moment long ago One breath away and there you will be So young and carefree Again you will see That place in time…so golden Still away into that way back when You thought that all would last forever But like the weather Nothing can ever…and be in time Stay golden But can <... >
Back in high school, I wore a little eyeliner, a little mascara, and I was good to go. I remember a phase where my mother literally chased me trying to get me to put on some blush. Really. I remember the cool girls wore impeccable makeup. I looked at them with envy. You know those <... >
