“favorite snack? favorite movie? favorite animal? favorite season and weather? where do you shop?”

“Regarding your “I need your honest opinion” post.. brown hair + blue eyes is the best combination. Try it. Give it a chance. What’s the worst that could happen? If you don’t like it, you can just dye it back. In all honesty though, there isn’t a chance that you won’t look amazing. On a separate note, I think you have a lot of potential as a writer! Your posts are real and honest, and I can really appreciate that. The only things I would really recommend are googling words that you’re not sure how to spell and proofreading.”
Well thank you very much. My issue on dying my hair brown is that I’ve never had any other color hair except for blonde and I fear that if I don’t like it, I wouldn’t be able to get it back to the color I have now. It would definitely be really hard to do. I don’t have the money to go to a professional so this would all be in the comfort of my own hands. It’s a lot to think about, I’ve been back and forth on the idea for a long time now. I think I’ll definitely some day give it a go, I just don’t know when or how soon that might be. Thank you so much for the constructive criticism, I really appreciate it. I really, really love to write and it’s always been a natural thing for me to get my feelings out on paper or by typing in a journal. I would definitely love to grow more in the field of writing, so any more constructive criticism or advice you have is definitely appreciative and very helpful :)
“1. do you tan?
2. what is you natural hair color and how did you get it so light?
3. do you go to the gym?
4. where do you shop?
5. what kind of makeup do you use?
i’m sorry if i come off weird in any way, i just feel your beautiful and your such an inspiration.”
- I do tan, in the summer… it takes a little longer for me to build my tan so well considering I have fair skin. I sometimes use a little bit of self tanner when I haven’t been able to make it to the beach in a while.
- My natural hair color is blonde. It’s about a shade or two darker than the color I have now. I dye my hair using Revlon ColorSilk in the color of Very light natural blonde (or something like that).
- I don’t go to the gym. As a matter of fact I’m probably the laziest person I’ve ever come to know. I don’t do anything to get a physical work out. I’m the most physically inactive person I know of. I have no idea how I manage to keep my figure; I was just blessed with amazing genes and have a really fast metabolism.
- I shop mainly at Forever21. I have a few things for Urban Outfitters, but my main store is Forever21. They carry a brand called Heritage that I really love as well.
- I really love using BareMinerals. It’s definitely my preference of makeup. I’m currently not using that though, because it’s too expensive. Right now I’m using Dream Matte Mouse by Maybelline. I use loose face powder, made by Covergirl, over that. I also use BareMinerals blush in a peachy pink color. I use Covergirl CG professionals Mascara.
“you seriously are an attention whore; you post way too many pictures and it’s all just for attention. you’re pretty, but when you flaunt it like that and cop out by adding people you don’t even know, you just seem desperate, shallow, and insecure. grow up, life’s not about being ‘popular’ anymore.”
I usually don’t feel the need to defend myself with comments like these, but I’m sure you’re looking for my response, so here goes nothing… I’m sorry you feel like I’m an attention whore and post too many pictures, but did it ever occur to you that I’m not living my life for your approval? You tell me I’m pretty but flaunt it like that… hasn’t the saying always been “if you’ve got it, flaunt it?” However I don’t feel that I flaunt it by any means. You’re referring to flaunting it by the large amounts of pictures that I take of myself, correct? I’m sorry, but my life long goal has always been to be a model, so sorry if being behind a camera is what I love doing, but I’m not going to stop doing what I love because of your prejudgement about me. Yes, I accept friend requests from people I don’t know, but it’s simply because I love meeting new people. I’m sure you’ve got at least a handful of people on your friendlists on whatever social networking site that you’re on, that you don’t know. Not really sure how I come off as desperate and shallow, but whatever you’d like to think. I’m just glad I don’t judge a person before I get to know them, as you are me. I won’t disagree with being insecure. Yeah I’ve got my insecurities, but we all have those. I definitely don’t feel like life is about being “popular” as to I was never in the in crowds and never really intended to be. I’m not in high school, I have no to be even be popular in front of. You really should get to know a person before you judge them, because it’s definitely very hypocritical of you to call me shallow, when clearly you just made all of the shallow gestures :)
“People know me for what I’ve done, not for what I plan to do.
I guess I can only blame myself but the reason I’m leaving is to escape that, to be better than I have been. I am different now, but no one believes it.
“I feel more comfortable talking to strangers than people I know. I believe this is because chances are, I’ll never see them ever again. And I feel like I can say anything I want. They don’t know my past or what I’ve done. They can only judge me on who they are seeing right that second. I’m the person I am now, not then. People I know don’t see the difference.”ps.) After posting what I just posted here, seeing one of your tumblr post makes me feel as though I’m doing the right thing. People really can change. I know that most of us resist it at first, but once we really wanna do something to better ourselves, we know change is the only way.
“People don’t change, they just find new ways to hide their true colors.”
I’m not hiding my colors, I’ve shed my old skin.”
There’s a difference between being young and stupid and making careless decisions and changing. Don’t let your past affect who you become in the future. You’re still growing into the person you’re going to become. I think it’s okay to make mistakes when you’re young, how else will you ever learn? We all do careless things when we’re young, we’re still learning whats right and wrong. It’s definitely too late to take back what you’ve done in the past, but it’s not too late to make sure you don’t repeat those same mistakes. There comes a time in everyone’s life when they just… grow up. Growing up is realizing you can’t do the childish, immature things you did as a kid. I think you’ve hit that stage :) Your true friends, and the only people who will ever matter, will look past what you’ve done and see you for who you’re becoming. Stay strong girl.
“do u have a boyfriend?”
No, but I’m kind of “seeing” someone… so that makes me off limits to who ever is interested, not that you are, but just in general.
“why is a beautiful girl like you single? you are angel gorgeous you should think about a modeling career anyway ill be expecting a answer”
Well, honestly, I’m currently single for the stupid decisions I made in my last relationship. I did a lot of stupid things. I lied to my boyfriend at the time about some pretty dumb stuff. I was deceitful and messed up big time with a really amazing person. All I can say now is that you live and learn. It took me losing the best thing that ever happened to me to realize that what I was doing, what I did to him, was not okay and will never be okay under any circumstance. I’ve definitely considered a career in modeling. I’m a Barbizon modeling and acting school graduate and I plan on taking that degree somewhere, sometime soon :)
“do you ever wish guys would just stop hitting on you and just compliment other things im sure are great about you?”
Most definitely. It really bothers me sometimes how a lot of guys focus solely on my looks. It’s definitely nice to hear that they feel I’m beautiful or whatever, but I’d definitely really like to be noticed for my intelligence, maturity, personality, and everything else I’m made of.
