About Me:
I write for an online magazine called Portrait.
(www.portraitmagazine.net)
I currently write "Ban The Boredom" column and the "Health Guide" series.
I've never been too much of a girly girl, but I've realized how confidence pampering yourself gives you. Not just appearance wise, but on the inside. When I feel like I don't look good, I get extraordinarily shy. When I feel good about my appearance, I'm so outgoing.
Apparently, I should never underestimate the power of some eye liner.
