‘Dumplin’ inspires self-love

February 1, 2019Madeline Arcaro

I’ll admit it: I like slightly cheesy and depressing teen fiction novels. That’s not a secret. With that being said, I can’t stand that in movies. I don’t even really like movies to begin with, if I’m being completely honest. I don’t have a very long attention span, and a lot of times, movies just […]

Kylie’s launch: sorta sweet

February 1, 2019Madeline Arcaro

I’m unhappy to admit that I actually like Kylie Cosmetics. I wanted to be against it, I wanted to hate what I bought, and I didn’t. I didn’t want to try Kylie’s makeup, because I was a little hesitant to support someone who I didn’t think worked hard for what she has. My other problem […]
