This week has been another roller-coaster week.
I'm only going to apply to start studying again in the middle of the year to give myself a chance to make up my mind about what it is that I really want to do with the rest of my life. No big deal. No pressure. I'm freaking out! For now however, I'm just looking for a student job.
I want to make a special mention of a beautiful young girl who took her own life on Thursday evening.
Simphiwe Sibanyoni was a student at The University of Pretoria and was one of the House Committee members for Huis Jasmyn while I was staying there. Simmy was always full of life, cheerful, vibrant, vivacious and willing to help anybody who asked. She could bring a whole room to life with her stories and laughter. A truly incredible young lady, you will be missed by all who met and knew you. What has happened is between you and The Lord now, may you find eternal peace and happiness and may God bless and keep your family and friends in this awful time.
Please keep her family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as they come to terms with the death of this gorgeous lady.
Another young boy known only as "Yogi" also took his own life during the last week and I ask that you keep his friends and family in your thoughts and prayers too.
In conjunction with that I would just like to tell every single one of you that although I may be giving you tips on make up and beauty, it does NOT mean that you are not beautiful to begin with. Each and every person shines with their own unique light; and just like gemstones are not all the same, neither are we. It does not mean that we are any less precious than someone else just because we are not the same person. Meeting only one type of person for the rest of our lives would be awfully boring. You are unique and special and loved by so many people for being exactly who you are.
Please don't give up. If you need someone to talk to visit www.suicidehotlines.com to find the correct helpline number for your country. It's never too late.
On a lighter note, how freaking cool do my nails look?! (It's a big deal for me since this is the first time that I've ever been able to paint my own nails without having to apply falsies first!)
It's really hot here in sunny South Africa at the moment and this post's tip is short and sweet: when it's really super hot, don't try to "compensate" by wearing too much deodorant/body mist/perfume. One can end up smelling a bit like the inside of a girl's change room and that is way less attractive than a subtle yet clean scent. Rather than applying your scented whatever-it-may-be every half an
hour, try not to apply more than one quick spray every three to four hours, depending on where you are and what you are doing during the day. (Obviously this excludes sport, camps and other similar activities!)
Be scent-sable! ... You're right, that was lame. Sorry.
I'm already working on my next two posts about primers (all kinds) and foundations, concealers, bronzers, blusher and powder; be sure to check them out if you're interested and want to know a little bit more or if you just want a couple of tips and tricks!
As always, leave me as many comments as you possibly can. Tell me what your favourite summer scents are or ask me a question, I promise to read and reply to all of them. Also, follow me here and on Twitter to receive all the updates!
