This is an everyday look that is natural, dewy, and very easy to pull off, as it looks like you but more put together.
Do not feel the need to wear makeup, as people are just as beautiful in their natural form., Wash your hair with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner when necessary.

Nevertheless, stay safe and smart with whatever decisions you make., A girl who is truly hilarious is not hard to find, but many suppress their own senses of humor to pursue other interests.
Even if no one else finds your jokes funny, make them, so at least people know you have a sense of humor and aren't afraid of embarrassment.
In time, your jokes will likely get funnier as you become more in tune with your comedic side and find the people who share similar interests., Strangers are just friends you haven't made yet.
The world may seem to be a scary place, but it is filled with people who desire real, human connection.
Allow these interactions to come by seeming easygoing, open-minded, and willing to converse with anybody.
The nerds, the jocks, the goths, and everyone in between have their strong points if you're willing to see them.
Even if your connections aren't permanent, every conversation can be impactful if you let it be., The girl next door type can be seen watching (or playing) sports, playing video games, reading comic books, and just embracing her inner tomboy.
