100 Things That Make Me Happy: Part One

When I was writing up the post regarding the winners of the Cosmo Blog Awards, I found myself very drawn to the Sofia's Journal Blog.

Plus, when I was lucky enough to win the Sigma...

What is Beauty: Revisited

Way back in March, I wrote a post titled What is Beauty. I don't remember what was written in that post, but following the success of my Positive Beauty Pledge, and how far I have come emotionally in the past seven or eight months, I've decided to revisit this topic, as an experiment to see how my opinion of beauty has changed.So, what is Beauty, to me?The notion of beauty, as I now see it is an incredibly difficult one. I know that I wear make up...
