Why You Should Agree With People Who Think That the Lack of Female Bands at Festivals, Etc. Isn't a Bad Thing
If you are an avid Twitter user and follow a lot of people with interests in music like me, your timeline is probably currently flooded with tweets about the lack of female bands and artists as acts, especially headline acts, playing at music festivals. One of the major British Festivals that happens every summer is the Reading and Leeds Festival. The two twin festivals have a joint capacity of over 160 thousand muddy gig-goers every year—so pretty damn big! Last year, the headline acts consisted of Kasabian, Eminem, Muse, Major Lazer, Bastille, and Liam Gallagher. Out of the 27 acts that played on the main stage at both festivals, only six acts had at least one woman as part of the act. The 2016 Reading and Leeds headline acts consisted of Foals, Disclosure, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Chvrches, Imagine Dragons, Biffy Clyro, Fall Out Boy, and The Vaccines. One of those acts had women present on stage.

5 Best (Cheap!) Foundations if You're Pale Like Me
For some of us, pale skin doesn't just happen in the winter. Ever since I was little I've had that "one shade too dark" syndrome when it comes to makeup. Everything gave me an orange tint, caked on, or looked great at first but then oxidized to become darker.

The Day I Lost My Grandma
March 4, 2002, I found out that my grandma had passed away. I thought it was all a dream, until I saw the look on my mom's face. All I could do was lay on the floor and cry all night long. I loved my grandma so much. Every time I would go visit her, she and I would go out to eat and have a very good day together. She spoiled me to death. My grandma taught me how to cook a lot of her best recipes. My grandma was a very short, funny lady. She got along with everybody. All her neighbors loved her. She never had problems with anybody. My mom and I cherish so many memories of her.

Teen Pregnancy
In April of 2017 I found out I was 4 weeks pregnant. At 17 years old I was terrified. After weeks of my friends telling my to do a pregnancy test because my period was late I finally I gave in and bought one. When I found out I was shocked and scared; I didn’t think I was ready to be a mum (especially because I was sitting in the school toilets crying). The rest of the day I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I thought becoming a parent would be difficult but the thing I didn’t realise would be so hard was other people.

True Heartbreak
Everyone believes that they know what true love is, and that they've been through heartbreak before. I myself thought that before I had my first child. I'll start my story from the beginning and leave out no details. January 21, 2016 was beyond the best day of my life, I got to meet my son Kolton that morning. He was perfect weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces, was 19.5 inches long. He was beautiful; the moment they laid him on my chest was the moment I realized that true love does exist. That was the moment I realized life was no longer about me, and that it was all about this little human being I was holding in my arms. I knew then I had someone that would unconditionally love me, and I had someone that I could unconditionally love for the rest of my life. Those moments were perfect, he was perfect, and I was perfectly happy. I decided to go back to work the month of February 2017 when he was a month old. Everyone in the house either worked or was in school, his father was in prison at the time so I was trying my best to do what I needed to.

Men in Suits
"… I was sacked (without explanation) by a man in a suit. Men in suits missold me pensions and endowments, costing me thousands of pounds. A man in a suit led us on a disastrous and illegal war. Men in suits led the banks and crashed the world economy. Other men in suits then increased the misery to millions through austerity…."
