When I first started this blog I read a lot of books and articles about beauty and fashion and incorporated that into posts along with my own thoughts. Later I realized I wanted to have a clear independent voice and did not want to plagiarize, so 90% of what is on the blog is my own thoughts and experiences that I've accumulated throughout the years, and 10% is related to things I've read or heard. My advice is that if you're ever going to use someone else's ideas, be sure to always reference them as your original source! I didn't understand the concept when I began my blog (I was only 12) but now I wish I had. Good luck!Melissa Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645691221964828580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466870668952434250.post-80154427512794106432015-05-10T20:41:57.408-05:002015-05-10T20:41:57.408-05:00Hey!

I feel like it is my mission to bring other girls closer to God, so I have been thinking about creating a blog a bit like this one so I can share my thoughts as well (I won't steel your ideas, I just want some advice). I was just wondering how you found all the posts about beauty and makeup and such. Did you make them up, or did you get them from pintrest or something? I don't want to plagiarize. Do you have any advice?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466870668952434250.post-46343342954081926672015-04-06T16:56:07.252-05:002015-04-06T16:56:07.252-05:00I AM IN INFINITE LOVE WITH THAT STRAPLESS PEACHY C...I AM IN INFINITE LOVE WITH THAT STRAPLESS PEACHY COLORED DRESS!

I am really into sports and don't really care that much about guys but a lot of my friends do!!! <br />Honestly what I would suggest is to maybe tell your friend that you dont care about guys, and that you care about her, but it kind of annoys you when she talks all about guys!!! Now this might be really awkward, but you can just maybe say it in kind of a silly/joking way, but enough serious she will hopefully get the message! Another suggestion is that maybe you should find some other friends!!! Or friends that only talk about guys 10% of less of the time:) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466870668952434250.post-78814198784295796782015-03-09T14:47:15.261-05:002015-03-09T14:47:15.261-05:00Hi!

Here would be my advice for you because I have had the same thing...You don't want to lead the guy on and make him think you like him back, but you can still continue to be nice to him. Just try to act like you did before you knew that he liked you!<br />Hope this helps!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466870668952434250.post-45591037830015390722014-12-23T19:03:50.910-06:002014-12-23T19:03:50.910-06:00Hey.

My whole family actually are Christians too and found value of putting me into a Christian school. I really do enjoy it and most of my friends/classmates there are believers as well. One of my closest friends accepted God about a year ago with my help. I don't doubt that she does love God but we are still kind of different in terms of things that we should really consult God about too. In public school, I know that there are already a bunch of kids already dating but in a Christian school this stuff is new to my class. So this friend of mine started dating this guy in my class a few weeks ago. Most people in my class are okay with it, and as her friend, of course I want to be happy for her, but I can't. Like they only talk about each other, hug each other all the time, and they think that they are so ready to date. I'm not even sure If the guy has even accepted Christ. I tried confronting them about how maybe they should think about having a relationship is not just a non serious thing but they got mad at me and just won't listen. I want to keep our friendships and not argue about this all the time but I really don't know what to do.

If she is really your best friend, she should be able to make a concious effort if you just politely tell her to stop. And if she gets worse or amps up the volume maybe you need some otherworldly intervention. Other than that, maybe she just feels unloved. I find most boy-crazy girls just want a chance at feeling love because they feel an absence of it. But my first step would be to pray about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466870668952434250.post-20167256428724991432014-10-23T01:09:50.882-05:002014-10-23T01:09:50.882-05:00I'll have to read that, thanks for the suggest...I'll have to read that, thanks for the suggestion!Melissa Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16645691221964828580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466870668952434250.post-67743910532089479672014-10-23T01:09:20.694-05:002014-10-23T01:09:20.694-05:00I like leaving little notes here and there around ...I like leaving little notes here and there around my dorm.
