Things No One Tells You Before You Dye Your Own Hair
Everyone has wanted to dye their own hair at least once. And it's a completely reasonable desire; hair salons are expensive and time consuming and it's a pain to go back every other month. Self-dyeing can be a great option: if it's done right. Here's a list of things that I wish I knew before I dyed my hair myself for the first time:

Supercharged
Everything about her was electric. The way her eyes glittered could have lit up a city.Her anger was like a bolt of lightning.Her smile was charged with a thousand watts to stop your heart.Her love was a circuit you could never break out of and she had a short fuse that would bite if you held on too tight.Her brain was an electron, always moving, never pausing.Her soul was full of light, a million sparking volts that could never be contained.Her very being pulled you in.

I'm Starting to Find My Self-Love and I Want You to As Well
Self love is something I've struggled with my whole life. I’m loud and opinionated, but the real problem lies in my weight. I’ve never been a skinny person, not since I gained over 100 lbs in the third grade when I hit puberty (a loaded sentence, I know). My perfect mother raised me saying things like “Are you sure you really want to eat tonight?” to her 8 year old daughter about to eat her dinner and whispering to me behind closed bedroom doors: “You know, there are places where you can get help Elizabeth, to fix your… problem.” Now, I’m not going to just sit here and blame my mother and complain about her and rehash every awful thing that ever happened to me and talk about how awful it was, but I won’t say she didn’t have a part in it either. My mother damaged me, the kids at school damaged me, and I suppose that I did, in fact, damage myself as well somewhere along the way. Most of this is the aftermath of myself.

Why You Should Be Listening to The 1975
1. They’ve been together as a band for 15 years. If they’ve been together for that long, there’s absolutely no reason to worry about them breaking up anytime soon, which is a good thing! Just imagine how many albums they could release...
