Make Muse: the magazine for when you want to escape the male gaze

A question I always seem to get from time to time, but has picked up within the past month is: How do you edit your Instagram photos?

what a haircut can’t fix: feeling restless, out-of-control, and stuck.
*Quick disclaimer: This post is all over the place, mainly because I'm trying to explain the way my mind is working currently throughout it, which is no easy task.

Being Yourself + Staying Yourself As A Teen
I think we can all agree that "being yourself" is a lot easier said than done, especially when it comes to being completely you throughout the school year. Giving into the pressures around you to conform to one specific type of person is something we all go through, especially as a teen. A lot of times in … Continue reading Being Yourself + Staying Yourself As A Teen
Running Late: Makeup, Hair, and Outfit
During the school year, it is inevitable that you'll run late at least once.
