Rêveur: Beauty →
lifeismagick:
It is okay to call yourself beautiful. It is okay to feel beautiful and lovely. You should. And I encourage it especially because there is no ideal beauty; people’s idea of beauty is different. Not wrong, just different. But it is still beauty.
Here is when it goes wrong.
You become ugly when…

Message from E News this afternoon:
If you are super toned or petite or thin, you should wear cute sparkly mini dresses with flashy heels for New Years.
If you are “curvy” then you should dress, and I directly quote, “conservatively”, with a below-the-knee dress that isn’t fitted and has elbow-length sleeves. And the “curvy” girl was the only one they...

RIP Navel Piercing April 2009-Decemeber 2011
I have had my navel pierced for a while, and have been having issues the entire time. My piercing is a bit crooked and I was getting blood blisters from the bottom ball rubbing me. I spent lots of time, pain, and money changing belly rings to make them stop, yet they won’t.
Well, Turns out that the blood blisters I was getting and not blood blisters at all- they are keloids. Keloids are...
Muslim feminists: Over It: OCCUPYRAPECULTURE →
muslimfeminists:
I am over rape.
I am over rape culture, rape mentality, rape pages on Facebook.
I am over the thousands of people who signed those pages with their real names without shame.
I am over people demanding their right to rape pages, and calling it freedom of speech or justifying it as a joke.
I am…

I find it interesting how a self-proclaimed redneck, bigoted, homophobic, racist father ended up with a liberal, open-minded, gay allied feminist daughter.
He loves to talk about how women don’t belong in certain places. He even said that women shouldn’t even bother being chefs because head chefs are men and that’s how it is.
But yet, even though I’m female, he taught...

Just some ramblings
My mom always loves to tell me everything I do wrong. But when other family members are around, she always has to be better than them. So she suddenly is bragging about me and my accomplishments. Now that I’m engaged, it’s soooo much worse. I don’t even get to tell family on my own. She won’t tell them for me, so she will just stand next to me and...

Things I realized while watching "Intervention"
I kind of noticed something was off with the families on the show. It wasn’t until I looked at my one friend’s family (she has codependency), that I realized it.
On the show, the families are portrayed as these wonderful, kind, caring people and the drug-addicted child is this horrible piece of shit. But that’s not how it is at all.
All these people care about is...

Learning to live in the moment: A lesson from a...
Everything we’re trained for in school is aimed towards the future. What do you want to be when you grow up? What do you want to major in in college? Where do you plan on finding a job? What are you going to do for the rest of your life?
The job market is not very good for music education right now. I’m going to have to plan to job hunt like crazy and possibly move out of state....

Things that piss me off : Snoring
I hate snoring more than most things in the world. Seriously. It’s the worst. If I could make every snorer in the world stop I would.
Why do I hate it so much?
Because I used to be a heavy sleeper and I could sleep through anything. Then my roommate got a really bad sinus infection. She couldn’t breathe through her nose at all. Now she snored on occasion, but once she got sick...
I can’t wait until after New Years for one reason: I’ll have my paycheck.
Which means I will have my Christmas money AND my check.
Shopping!

My boyfriend proposed Wednesday night.
My ring’s pretty sweet. It has a special diamond. This picture does no justice.
But yeah. So I’m engaged now. We’re waiting until we’re out of college and have steady jobs before we even start talking about a wedding date. I’m guessing 2014 or 2015ish.
I was very overwhelmed and scared at first. I was afraid to tell anyone! But it’s much better....

Things that Piss me off: Virginity = Worth
The emphasis put on virginity is gross. The idea of virginity itself is a cultural and social construct. Someone along the way had to decide that having sex was “bad”.
But think about it. This want of a pure virgin has nothing to do with men. We don’t see any purity balls for men. Boys have free reign to be obscene and disrespectful and sleep with whoever they want....

Dear Stacey and Clinton:
I LOVE What not to Wear. It’s one of my favorite shows ever.
But today you’ve pissed me off.
You two hated on a girl who once had dreads and has tattoos and piercings and praised her for “toning down” and “maturing”.
Fuck you. Tattoos and piercings don’t equal immature. Some people feel better about themselves with the tats and piercings.
And then...
The FTM Feminist: The "F" Word →
ftmfeminist:
The dreaded F word. That word you didn’t really start using until high school, that word you know not to say around your grandparents, that makes people uncomfortable if they overhear it in public, that many times involves two people angrily screaming at one another, and that you can’t even Google…

On critiquing Twilight and judging female characters in general, not just Bella. Interesting read on what a “strong woman” is and how female characters are portrayed and critiqued in movies and literature.
