Confessions of a flat chested girl

Image
     I've longed struggled with this insecurity of mine, and I'll be the first to admit that having boobs barely count as boobs is hard. In a world where boobs are seen as a symbol of womanhood, I often feel like a child. You see unlike butts, there's nothing much you can honestly do to grow your boobs unless you opt for surgery.       Growing up I used to think that my boobs would grow and that I'd eventually be fine with it. I'm nearly 20 and that insecurity has not faded as hard as I try to not be affected by it. It's not easy pushing these thoughts away, honestly it's constantly in my face whenever I shop for clothes. Clothes that look so pretty and flattering for my size but require a girl to either go braless or strapless. I've never had the privilege of being able to wear a backless dress without looking like a 12 year old trying too hard to fit in. So what do I do? Wear specific bras to hopefully amp up their appearance, avoid wearing the cloth...

Things to do during a break

     Exams are over so here come endless (5 Weeks)  days of sleeping late and waking up late. Days of no homework and studying and they'll most probably be the most wonderful days of my life. Now the above situation is what I'd generally tell myself every time I'm on a break but I'd usually end up rotting away in my room. A potato's gotta do what a potato's gotta do, even if that means being part potato and pig.  This time though, I'm gonna use these few weeks to really achieve some goals before I start a new semester. So here a few things I'm gonna do during my holiday that you can try with me. 1. Get Fit      This is the number 1 thing that everyone tells themselves that they'll do during the holiday but never happens; myself included. Here's the thing, the trick to getting fit is to be specific with your goals. I typically don't measure how fit I am based on the amount of weight I've lost. Usually, I set a specific routine to comp...

How to brighten up your day

     Most of you may know, my moods haven't been that great lately. I blame stress and PMS (pre, present and post). Honestly, feeling sucky is a horrible feeling. It gets worse with every passing day and nothing seemed to be cheering me up. I'd get super grumpy then I'd get moody then I'd get stressed and then all that I've been feeling accumulates into this big ball of negativity which, lemme tell you, makes you feel more like crap than you already do. But today, I decided to do something that would ease my mind a little bit and I feel a whole lot better now than I did a few hours ago. So I'm gonna share some tips on how to make yourself feel better/ brighten up your day.      Now with most people who're under lots of stress, it's easy for us to neglect pampering ourselves because "there's just not enough time". Me personally, I feel really guilty if I take time away from studying to do other things.  I typically use these few tips to ...

Talented People

     It's almost midnight  (no longer midnight since I'm posting this in the morning) where I'm at and all I want to do is sleep. But I can't, simply because there are things to do and I can't afford to sleep so early. Besides, I can go into deep hibernation once exams are over. I'm praying for the best. I've been feeling less than okay. Mainly because I think I'm not going to do well in my exams but that's really beside the point.      I've been noticing that the people I'm surrounded with or rather people I know in my life are pretty damn talented and damn. Insecurities are flaring up like an annoying rash. Talented people are really amazing in my eyes and there are plenty of them out there. I think the best part about talented people is their passion for it and you can plainly see it. It's a beautiful thing to see first hand. For example, those who love music tend to always be doing something with music like playing the guitar or s...

Exam Stress and Facial Masks

     Aside from dealing with the stress of wanting to do well in exams. I've been pretty alright. It's a Friday night and while most students are partying their night away, I'm sitting at my desk with a sheet mask on my face. Fun fun. My books are right beside me and I'm doing everything in my power to not close them and head to bed. It's been one hell of a week and I'm still wondering where time went.      Anyway I did a little shopping today and got a whole lot worth of stuff for the money I spent. I swear there's something extremely satisfying about getting more for what you paid for.. Mainly, a nice handkerchief, 8 sheet masks, and a 3 little samples of facial products. I know I know, it's not a whole whole lot but what can you expect when you pay less than 50 bucks on masks? I'm on a student budget here so sue me.     If you ever want to invest in affordable facial masks that are made from natural ingredients then I'd highly suggest you ...
