MY STYLE Clothes are my way of self expression. What I like to wear changes all the time but throughout all the changes I like to stay true to my personal style and what I feel good in, not what other people might think I look good in. I used to think I what I wore was weird, when in reality people actually think that its pretty cool. Don’t feel pressured to look like everyone else.
I personally don’t wear makeup because I don’t find any reason to, but I do appreciate it. If I were to go to a party or a concert I might. I love glitter makeup and anything glossy. Jewellery is super cool cause it makes something so simple look ten times better. Tinted glasses are super cool and so are wacky earrings.
Billie Eilish- Don’t Smile At Me Billie has a beautiful voice to match her beautiful album, which is calming with a hint of grunge
Twenty One PilotsBlurry Face No matter what, this album is always my favourite to listen to. With no set genre, I never get sick of the music created by TOP.
MOVIES Some movies I saw recently that I recommend
