Contour.. or Conceal?

Hey Ya'll ! Apologies for not posting in a while..but I'm back! I am consistently hearing about the newest trends and fads all over the Internet and in our world. One trend in particular has seemed to revolutionize the makeup world. Ok, I know what you're thinking. This post is about makeup? Well, I'm out. No, this is not a blog about makeup. It's actually the complete opposite. From lip gloss to lip transplants, the world of makeup has changed and so has the way people see themselves. You can hardly even enter Sephora without hearing the word "countour" at least 50 times. This is no joke, guys.  The obsession and rage over this new makeup technique has "taken the world by storm" some might say. Well, as that may be somewhat true, the lie in it speaks a little louder. Women are consistently trying new glosses, shadows and countour methods. The point behind contouring is to give the appearance of a slimmer face, you know, without all the babyness. I'm not bashing countour or anything regarding the makeup world, because I love makeup and am willing to try new things..but not this. I recently read a post about a woman who used countour and her life had apparently been changed. I have always had a baby- like face, with the cheekbones and all, but I've always admired that feature of me. It gives me a sense of uniqueness and I feel amazing just being the way I am and you should never have to change for anyone! Like, since when did makeup define our life status? Yeah, I dident think it could..and it can't. The idea behind countouring is quite twisted. Women are always seeing different ways to improve their appearance and the way other people see them. Men do this too. Countouring is ok, but concealing is not. Being ourself is the best thing we can be. Transparency is a good shade on you. Let who you are shape you're being. You are amazing! - A Xo

If Life's A Movie, Where's The Popcorn?

Have you ever heard someone say "life is like a movie, you just sit back and enjoy the show"? Well, I sure have. I remember a number of years ago I was at a local theatre only to walk in and see a line for the consession stand all the way to both doors. Ugh, who wants to wait in line that long? Not me! So I proceeded into the theatre to find my seat ..without any snacks. I'm all for going to see movies in the theatres but who goes in without a snack?! Apparently I did. As I sat down all I could think about was munching on some popcorn and drinking a cold pop. I was irritated but it beat standing in line for forever. Soon enough, the lights began to fade and people started to quiet , the movie was starting. I don't think even a happy meal from McDonalds could have lightened my mood. So after about 2 hours of sitting watching a movie-without a snack, it was over. I was hungry, annoyed and just so done with the consession stand workers (even though they did nothing), sou...

Introducing Me!

Hey Everyone! Welcome to My Blog. My name is Abby, and I'm 17 years old. I have always thought the idea of having a blog would be so neat. From the bloggers who over ecstatically give bits and pieces to the well, hacks of life to the ones who use it as an outlet to realease their most transparent thoughts. Hate to break the ice this way, but I'm neither. I think that digging deep into how we genuinely feel and acknowledging that No, we're not perfect and Yes, we will be thrown curveballs in life is completely ok. As I thought of what to name my blog, I had some rather strange ideas, such as : popcorntobutter , like what does that even mean?! It finally came to me. I chose to name it Diamonds Pearls And Problems because let's face it, life is certainly not glitter and diamonds all the time. This blog is aimed mainly towards the attention of women,  but can be for anyone. We all have those questions in life, the ones we never seem to get answers to. Ya know , the ones th...

Hey, I'm Back

Hey ya'll. I firstly want to apologize for this INSANELY late post, life has been...SUPER busy, and SUPER dramatic to say the least. A lot has happened since the last time I was on here. So, where to start? weeelll, my life has been nothing short of complicated. I started this incredible new life here at KU, and am loving it here, though homework load is slowly crushing my every inch of sanity. Oh, yeah I broke up with my ( ex) boyfriend of two and a half years, guess that's recent. Why did I do this, you ask? I had known for a long time that we were not meant to be together, maybe for a short time, but I knew we were not supposed to be together forever. Yeah, that was hard. I had a lot of support through it, though. My parents offered a lot of support, my best friend, and some friends from school. One in particular really was/is a huge help and support, not sure how I would have gotten through this without him, not to sound overdramatic or anything, but really that's the t...
