People have offered many potential explanations for this discrepancy, but this ad highlights the importance of the social cues that push girls away from math and science in their earliest childhood years.
Watch the powerful Verizon advertisement to really understand what a little girl hears when you tell her she’s pretty.
i can’t stress how important it is to know who you are as a person because people will literally try to project their insecurities + preconceived notions onto you.
Oh so I’m just supposed to cuddle myself to sleep? Unbelievable I have to do everything around here.
not to gross u out but i daydream abt u resting ur head on my chest and ur completely at ease and ur safe and warm
“It’s the type of performance that drives one to incessantly wonder, ‘What is she thinking?’ But this is uncertainty shrouded in personal mystery, not vagueness. And like the headiest and most involving mysteries, Keough refuses to settle for any quick and tidy resolutions, luring us in without ever emerging too far from her own protective shell. In this instance, answers hardly matter. Her suspense is enthralling enough.”
Here’s why Riley Keough’s breakout performance on The Girlfriend Experience deserves Emmy consideration, by Matthew Eng
My emergency makeup&care kit, that I use when I am staying the night somewhere spontaneously, or need to redo myself. Listing it below to help out a gal assemble hers;
Tiny brush
Altoid Candy tin containing sarandraps, and q-tips
Nail cutter, nail file.
Tiny tin of headarche medecine, those travel sized ones that fit everywhere!
Mascara, eyeliner pencil, eyelash curler (opt)
Clinique black honey (as lipstick and blusher), or your favourite semi-opaque lipstick. The lipstick being used as blusher was how ladies in the 1950s used to do their blusher, and that ensured it matched perfectly.
Moisturizer, face soap in a travel bottle.
Hair oil (hotel shampoos can be quite harsh for the hair, I use them only at my roots)
2 pairs of silk panties that take very little space. Always a clean panty everyday!
One silk scrunchie that's also fit for daily wear (protects at night and looks nice for day wear)
Small tin of bronzer and highlighter, to use for eyelids and face in general. If you need to fill your eyebrows, bronzer works in a pinch (it works for me, but if you need darker, you could add an tiny palette that contains your eyebrow shades, and could be used for eyes too)
Small tin of face powder, skip the foundation and layer on top of dried moisturizer. Gives a bit more uniform texture without cluttering your bag
Condoms & 60$ cash in a tin can, always be safe. The money is for quickly exiting with taxi, or if you're in trouble. Never use that money unless you really need it. .
Perfume sampler of your perfume, or your perfume transfered into a travel bottle. The roller bottles are AMAZING for strategically applying it.
Travel sized deodorant, makeup wipes (that also can be used as armpit & privates wipe in a pinch)
All the required makeup brushes.
All those items fit in a Kleenex box-sized bag, and I use them a lot!
Master your basic makeup only using those items and you'll look fabulous with little. Practice practice!
No university, no program, no opportunity can infix in you a desire for furtherance if there is none, to begin with.
Do I have to study? Yes. But will I be reading and annotating Wuthering Heights for the next 4 hours while listening to every version of Experience and Primavera by Ludovico Einaudi? 100%.

“Eu sei o quanto meu cabelo é “bagunçado”, sei o quanto sou magra e minhas coxas são separadas, sei o quanto sou baixa, também sei como minha risada é escandalosamente irritante. Mas vc acredita que eu encontrei alguém que ama enrrolar os dedos no meu cabelo?! Alguém que me diz que meu corpo é lindo. Alguém que se sente um protetor por ser maior que eu. Alguém que fica me adimirando quando começo a rir. E os “defeitos” que eu tanto colocava em mim mesma, foram capaz de encantar alguém.”
