Tackling Hormonal Breakouts
There is no sugar coating the fact that hormonal breakouts are horrible to deal with.

A Total Beginners Guide To Running
Running and I have never been good friends. At school, I used to dread the days that we would have cross-country or track. For years, I joked that I wouldn't even run if I was being chased because I disliked it at that much. Within the past few months I really wanted to try and get into running, granted I will never be running marathons, but I wanted to see how I faired with it now. My best friend happened to be thinking the same thing so together we challenged ourselves to at least be able to run for a few minutes without having to lay on the floor afterwards. So if you're a total novice at running too then these totally honest tips might be of use for you.

Making Your Eyes Look Bigger & Brighter
My eyes are the most prominent feature of my face so, of course, I only want to enhance them. For years, I wore heavy dark kohl and looking back now it wasn't the most flattering eye look I could have gone for. But what are your teenage years without a good healthy emo stage? Fast forward a few years and now I go incredibly light on my peepers and only apply products that will make my eyes look bigger and brighter.
