Make up blog 10 Body Image

The media has such an impacted on how people think they should look by posting it all over the place from magazines to TV adds and movies. By your average person seeing it all the time they get the impression that it's okay to look like a Victoria Secret Model whose 5'10 but in reality we should embrass that we all can't be supermodels. Some celebrities are proud to show off their curves and hate that some magazines photoshop their covers because in a way it's telling them you need to look like this. For example Kate Winslet was on the cover of GQ and she noticed herself that something wasn't right about the cover.

The British issue of GQ magazine went too far in Kate’s opinion: “The retouching is excessive. I do not look like that and more importantly I don’t desire to look like that”. This GQ magazine cover was digitally altered, says GQ editor Dylan Jones in this BBC report. Of the cover photo, Kate said, “I actually have a Polaroid that the photographer gave me on the day of the shoot… I can tell you they’ve reduced the size of my legs by about a third. For my money it looks pretty good the way it was taken.” (PhotoshopNews) Having a celebrity embress her curves its what we need to tell to younger girls and boys because if they hear about celebrities that aren't stick thin and are proud of it, then this will help young boys and girls except themselves. By doing this it helps  by not having an eating disorder and taking diet pills at a young age. We all need to stop and think about what the media is drilling into our brain and remeber its us who suffers not them.

Make up blog 9 The Environment

I'm currently living in the freshman dorms and I have been seeing a lot of trash outside of Sovi. I  see trash on the edge of the lake and in the back parking lot. Students show know how to throw away their trash by now and its sad that they don't do it because it's harming the environment and animals.  Another thing I've noticed when walking in my hall way to get to my room, people leave there trash of old food or boxes out in the hallway expecting one of the cleaning people to throw it away for them. Last time I checked the dorms weren't  a hotel  for us, we live there and have to clean up after ourselves. I feel bad for the cleaning people because some of  the students are disrespectful and don't have manners. I think the people who run the dorms need to be more strict in telling the students to clean up after themselves and if they don't then they should make them pick up all the trash outside of Sovi to teach them a lesson.

When Taylor Swift came out with this song "Never Grow Up" I instantly feel in love with it because it reminds me of how much I've grown up and how fast my life has gone by."You're in the car on the way to the movies. And you're mortified your mom's dropping you off. At 14, there's just so much you can't do. And you can't wait to move out someday and call your own shots" This lyric definatly hits homes but now that I am moved out and can call my own shot all I want to do is be back home with my family.  It also reminds me of my relationship with my mom and how much it has gone over the years.

"Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
Could still be little
Oh, I don't wanna grow up, wish I'd never grown up
It could still be simple"  Life goes by fast so cherish every minute you have.
