6 Things I Learned From Catfish (MTV)

 
I'm pretty sure you've all heard of the MTV show, Catfish.  Every time I watch this show I learn the same things every time. A lot of these stories are almost the same and others are unbelievable. You don't even have to look for a girlfriend or boyfriend to get catfished. Everyone is vulnerable to this so it's really all about being careful. So I decided to list all of the obvious things I've learned from the show. I'm not judging because you don't know what someone is going through. Whether their the catfish or the one being catfished. These are really things everyone should look out for. 
 
Revenge is not sweet
Those rare cases on Catfish when someone's doing this to purposely hurt someone, is mind blowing. I mean if they hurt your feelings or got with your ex, forget about them. I know easier said than done but seriously, don't stoop to their level and plan this scheme for a year (s) to get back at them. This is not going to end well and if you do end up on the show, everyone's going to know what you did. 
 
It's important to be yourself not someone else
I know it sounds cliché but it's true. Just because someone accepts you, it's based on them believing you're someone else. To be honest it's not fair to them because they have no idea what's going on. Most importantly it's not fair to you, because they not seeing the real you. 

Using someone else's pictures doesn't end well
This one always gets me. Why are they using someone else's pictures? It's not fair to the person you're lying to and it's definitely not fair to the person who's pictures you stole. They have a life and the actions you take can have an effect on them/the people around them. Besides you shouldn't want to be seen as someone else. You know we need people motivating each other. Then people wouldn't feel the need to lie about who they are, therefore stealing pictures. 
 
Lying has consequences 
Well Catfish did not teach this, because I already know. But this is a lesson to be learned. When you lie about who you are, chances are you're going to have to continue the lie. As a matter of fact you're going to have to tell a bigger one to cover up. Why lie in the first place, what are you winning. I've always been curious about this. 

2% of the people actually tell the truth
Because the show is called Catfish, I always think the person isn't being honest. It's those rare moments when someone is actually telling the truth. For me these episodes are always a shock, because you never know when someone is honest throughout. That sounded crazy saying that in my head, but even more crazy as I'm reading it. People should tell the truth, it seems hard but it should not be.
 
Everyone is vulnerable on the internet 
People use the internet as an escape from their everyday life. There are people searching for a companion whether it's just a friend or a significant other. When they open themselves up, their putting their heart out. Literally wearing their heart on their sleeve. Although people make the decision to put themselves on the internet, they don't expect someone to take advantage of it. 

I hope you enjoyed reading and if you haven't watched this show before, you should!

E.l.f. Eye Brushes

Although this haul is very small, I just wanted to share with you what I brought. I decided to buy brushes, because I needed them more! The first brushes I were eco-friendly and were really good, but their were more face brushes, then eye brushes. So that wasn't really helpful to me. It was only one eye shadow brush. I rarely shop online, I always go to the store. But I was bored one day and I guess this is what happened! I am really excited to try these brushes! I also brought some things from BH cosmetics, but that's for another post! Eye Shadow Brush The eye shadow brush is supposed to help apply the eye shadow evenly and make it easier. This sounds good, because the brushes I used in the past were tough and hard. It seemed like I had to put a lot of eye shadow on, before it actually showed up on my eyes. Blending Eye Brush This brush is supposed to blend the eye shadows, while softening dramatic edges and lines. This is really good, because before I h...

BH Cosmetics Eyebrow Tweezer

  Going to get your brows waxed costs money, so with that being said I rather do my own. Although I am not a professional I think I can manage. I do not wax my eyebrows. To be honest I have never waxed or tried to wax my brows. If you're like me in the department of not waxing, you find other ways to style (fix) your brows. For me I have only tried two products; one will be in this post and the other is linked here: Brow kit !     I have learned to love my brows just the way they are. But they do deserve to pampered at the same time. If I have a few eyebrow hairs that do not belong, I want something quick and easy to fix this. That is why I have my bh cosmetics eyebrow tweezer. I have written a few posts on bh cosmetics products, but I am not affiliated with them in any way. I just simply love their products because its still high quality products, but at a cheaper price. This is great because not everyone wants to spend a lot or are maybe on a bu...

Self Love Is So Important!

  Has there ever been a time where you felt unworthy? Unworthy of someone loving and caring for you. Have you ever disliked yourself so much, to the point where you would go into a dark place? I ask these questions not to necessarily get an answer back, but to let you know this happens to a lot of people. Self love is so important and everyone should feel good about themselves. Unfortunately in today's world that isn't the case at all. Society puts a label on what people should and should not look that. People judge one another 24 hours, 7 days a week and it's wrong. I've wanted to write this for a while now, but sometimes it's difficult. You don't want to offend anyone, but you also want to bring awareness to this topic. I'm not an expert on how to love yourself, but I do know what it's like to not have confidence. I know what it feels like to not think you're good enough, even when people tell you that you are.    I use to think I was I wa...
