Make-up Thought

For years, many girls, young ladies, and women have spent a lot of money on the thing that takes away the imperfections: MAKEUP!!! From the Egyptians to modern day women; form commoners to Royals, everyone has worn makeup once in their life... weather it be foundation, eye-shadow, eye liner, bronzer, mascara, concealer, highlight.. Wearing makeup makes each one of us feel special. I wear it because it makes me look better and I love to experiment with makeup can change my look. Some just wear it for special occasions and fancy dinners. Being able to dabble in cosmetics does take money but if you are smart, many things can be used more than once!

   For example:

1. Eye liner - can be used as a shadow base or as an eye-shadow. if it is a lighter colour, than it can be used as a highlighter! 
2. Concealer - can be used for foundation.
3. Mascara - can be used as eye liner.
4. Lipstick - can be used for cheek colour (as can an eye-shadow).

You just have to look and find things out for yourself. I know that I have. In this modern era, there are many things that we have now that make us shimmer and matte. And some have GLITTER!! From loose powders to compressed powers, eye-shadows and foundations are some things that most girls start to wear along with mascara.

Now, you can blog and post videos on Youtube. For me, I am camera shy and one day might post a video on what I wear everyday and see where that goes. But congrats to all the beauty gurus on Youtube and for giving my confidence a big boost into makeup!!!

Makeup is a thing that gievs self-confidence to many. Just have to keep looking and having fun with the liquids and the powders!! And keep creating...

about me

in the new year, we might as well get to know each other...

i was born in New Jersey, USA. that is on the east coast and I have moved to two different towns and around the same block with in 3 years...

so from the beginning:
my name is Shannon Rae McCloskey. I was born on Valentine's Day (February 14) 1994 in NJ. I am the oldest of two. I have a younger brother named Sean. He was born on March 12 the following year in Denville. We lived in a one bedroom with our parents until I was about 18mos. old and then moved to my childhood home in Roxbury.

new hair color, going to dye it darker!
my makeup post will me on this
blog and my other blog. A Night in the City;
please check it out. my friend
and I just started it.

I went through the Roxbury school system from kindergarten; this is where I met some great people. And I had some great teachers that I still remember to this day. Kindergarten was probably was the best because we switched classes everyday with the other teacher. My teacher was very musical(one of many reasons I went in music later in my school career); he made everyone laugh, then we would go across the hall to the other classroom and that teacher would teach us things that she taught hers. Then before you know it, hear is high school; we called it a prison because there is no windows, NO WINDOWS to see the outside world. You only saw daylight is if you took gym, during lunch, band class, or if you were lucky to have a class in either E or P halls. I enjoyed my freshman and senior years the most. I had amazing teachers through out my four year at RHS but I some are more cool then the rest. When graduation came, I was not so sad to not have to walk the hallowed halls of my now alma mater. I miss going to band and taking all the history classes I could; and seeing the teachers that made it possible for me to graduate.

Now a days, I spend my time writing and working. I have been working in a pediatric doctors office since my junior year on high school(started in 2010). It is a good job while your in high school since I'd go after school. I also still volunteer at the public library. I have been there for almost ten years and love it. I have met some amazing children along the way; they are all now in elementary school and their parents/grandparent(s)/care-taker have become friends through story time. I have come a long way from book jacketing books and shelving. Now, I help run story time and other programs throughout the year. This year will make my tenth and final year. I have taught many others and made friends within the employees at the library. All the memories will be and I will tell in a future a blog closer to my final Friday.

As the year goes on, I will share my daily events on days, recipes, makeup looks... On occasion, I might write a blog in German from time to time; I can speak... please leave any questions and talk to you soon

Martin Luther King Day

Today is a day to remember a man that impacted history and his life was taken so young.
 Malcolm X, Evers, Parks are some of the many people we know from the Civil Rights Movement from the sixties. Everyone worked hard to make the world we live in a reality then and helped pave the way for what we live in now.

Being a woman of color, I own the world I live in to those work worked hard and lost their lives fighting for the world that I live in. "I have a dream" is a speak that I look to as a pick me up. I know that today is MLK Day, but today is Civil Rights Day. I love and thank you to all of the men and women, black and white, who worked for this. Thank you for giving me the life that I have now and I am not in a school for either black or white kids, or having to ride the back of bus. Drinking out of different water fountains. My parents wouldn't be married; my life would be in black and white...

Hope everyone had a great day and thought about those who made our lives a reality
