We’re almost at February 29, a special date that only comes around once every four years. It’s a leap day—an extra day that gets added to the end of February of the calendar every four years. It’s pretty cool, don’t you think? Normally, we have 365 days a year, but we get an extra day […]
Ok, so I feel that 12 is old enough to be trusted with makeup, but I know of some people who don’t agree. I feel like makeup is something that should be allowed as long as people are sensible. I know this is kinda a random one but I would love to know what you […]
