STOP teen exploitation in the media

I am in awe.

I just watched the new video by a young 13-year-old girl named Jenna Rose. She has a few music videos, most that are pretty mediocre when it comes to lyrics and the shameful auto-tune. However, this video just stands out above the rest, because not only are the lyrics terrible and the concept completely stupid, the film is downright exploiting this young innocent girl. Watch it here:

If you didn't catch the lyrics, watch it again. Watch it until you realize how pathetic these music companies are that are sucking in little girls to make shitty music, and show off their bodies to the world. They should NOT be getting away with it.

The lyrics say "Take a picture, it'll last longer"
and "You wish you could"

We all sit here and rave about child porn and little girls and boys getting exposed to sexuality too soon, yet these fucker music productions get away with something like this?!

This is sad..... Wow. Please, spread the word.

Wanted to share one of my new favorite nail polishes! :)

Hey, hope everyone is having a great week! The end of term is tomorrow and then just one more term! yippee :D

I just recently got this new Sally Hansen Hard As Nails polish. I am absolutely in love with it and I want to share it with you! The color is in "Toffee".





As you can see, it's very glossy on its own. It shines nicely in the sun and it gives off such a beautiful color! I'm in love with it. I needed barely 2 coats to achieve this result, which is amazing when you think about how much I payed for it, a mere $2


It's got an almost peachy, pinkish color that almost makes it look like a neutral. Neutral colored nail polishes are definitely my favorite and I'm glad I picked this up

Thanks for reading guys!

Have a gooood night

Spring has sprung (almost)

I'm diagnosed with a case of spring fever! I'm so ready for the spring to start sprouting flowers and pushing the clouds away, I can't even tell you. The spring time always brings out a great mood in me and I can feel it erupting as I listen to music as the windows are rolled down in 50 degree weather :) So nice

I'm going to be focusing more on political and social issues on my channel rather than on beauty. Yeah, it's fun to do reviews on products, bla bla bla, but that's not what youtube needs. They need more people who are spreading awareness about certain topics that people don't think enough about. I just barely made a video and am going to upload it today (hopefully) about religion and it's affect on the world. It's a little rant, but I hope to do more in the future. The recent struggles in Japan and in other countries got me really thinking about us as Americans and being more aware of how lucky we are to live in a country with plentiful resources and a generally war-free zone.
I know that a lot of people are upset right now because of the recent fluctuation of gas prices, employment rates, and a lot of different laws and policies in general, but when I think about the big spectrum of things, I consider myself pretty lucky that I'm not in Japan being washed up on shore. I'll post the video here soon if anyone wishes to see it.

So, summer, summer summer.... The time has almost come. A little over 2 months and I am going to have to make a decision on what I want to do once I graduate. Go to school right away so I can get my grant? Move in with E? Or get my own place with a couple of roomates.... Now that I've finally come to that point in my life where it's time to start making a decision, it is literally the hardest thing to come to a conclusion to. I remember all throughout my high school career, I just assumed that something would "happen" when I graduated and I would just go with the flow of whatever happened. But now, I know that I cannot, and that I must make a decision on what I'm going to do. I know that I am not going to continue to live with my dad, because I'm practically in a huge house along by myself 50% of the time, and the other half of the time we're not even talking to eachother or making any sort of effort to make a connection. It's just not happening. It's been nearly a year now, and nothing's happening.

It's time to move on

Review: Wet 'n Wild -- Wild Shine nailpolish

Recently I picked up a new nail polish from my local drugstore. They were having a pretty big sale with a lot of makeup products, specifically with Wet 'n Wild. Their nailpolishes were only about 79 cents, so I had to get in on that fabulous deal.

The color I picked up is in Kaleidoscope. The bottle was filled with brilliant sparkles, and I was very excited to try it.

This is what it looked like on my nails, after 3 coats.




As you can see, the outcome was not as what I had expected. It took three coats to cover 90% of my nails, and even then, it looked nothing as glamorous as in the bottle. There is absolutely no pigmentation whatsoever in this nailpolish, which made it even harder to obtain any sort of color to my nails.

I didn't use any clear nailpolish on top, so after about a day, it was already peeling off. At that moment, I decided that it was time to take this stuff off! I used a nailpolish tub to get the stuff off, and it literally would not budge. I rubbed and I rubbed, and all in all, it took probably a half hour to get all of the nail polish off, minus a couple sparkles here and there that I gave up on.


So, for the most part, I was pretty disappointed with the outcome of this product. The packaging is cute and the polish in the bottle looks exquisite, but it turned out to be a mess /:


I got some lip shimmer that I'm actually very happy with from Wet 'n Wild that I'd like to review next for you guys. Stick around :)
