This might be the hardest mental health and me post I've written this far. A big part of my depression as a teen was linked to my body image. I've had issues with being overweight since I was 4. I'm deathly allergic to cough syrup and the steroids the doctors gave me permanently messed up my metabolism. Before that I had issues gaining weight so I was on a high protein diet when everything happened. So when my metabolism stopped working I was still trying to gain weight and gained too much. I've been fighting it ever since.

Dying my Hair Unnatural Colours for the First Time | Cutting & Dying my hair on my own | Purple + Blue Hair Dye Adventures

 I love watching Jenna Marbles "fuck herself up" on a weekly basis on her channel. I too have an urge to change my appearance frequently. When I was 13-15 I dyed my hair 13 times in 18 months. I had all the natural colours. Black, brown, bleach blonde, Auburn. But never anything unnatural more than pink highlights a bit darker than cotton candy.

Diary Entry 2

Hello Everyone! It feels like ages since I wrote my First Diary Entry. It's only been like 2 months but I've been so run down lately that it feels like ages between blog posts. After last month's Harry Potter marathon I feel a lot better. So I thought now on my re-entry into "normal" posts it would be fun to do another diary entry. Just talk out my recent thoughts and feelings. So let's just jump into it.

Harry Potter | The Boy Who was Forgotten

In honour of Harry’s Birthday today I thought it’s time I do a character focus on the Chosen One. So where to begin. I have lots of feeling but let’s start off with the reason this title is “The Boy Who Was Forgotten”

The Wonderful World of Magical Creatures in Harry Potter

My favourite thing about Harry Potter is by far the magical creatures. From unicorns to mermaids to dragons I love mythical creatures. Pixies and fairies and centaurs. I love all the creatures that JK included in the world of Harry Potter. So today I thought it would be fun to talk about some of my favourites!

Hogwarts House Pride

It seems like everyone has an option on what houses are better than others. Which houses have better qualities, which houses would be the worst to be in. Well, today I want to spread some House Positivity.

Jim Dale is amazing! | You need to get the Harry Potter Audiobooks

I've never really been an audiobook person. I love the feel of a real book. Feeling the pages turn in my hand. The smell of the paper. The feeling and the sound of the binding stretching in my hands as I turn the pages. I love books. But I've had little time to read recently. And I've been dying to re-read Harry Potter. So I caved and signed up for audible and got 2 free books. 

Underrated Harry Potter Characters

There are characters in every story that get overlooked or aren't showed all the love they deserve. And Harry Potter is no exception. I'm also a big believer that there are some characters that get too much love but I'll save that for another post. That one might get shouty. Anyway today I wanted to give some love to these characters who I care about and the fandom seems to push aside.

My A-Z of the Harry Potter Universe

Happy Harry Potter month everyone! If you are new here, July is Harry Potter month here on ZombieGoddess Beauty. For all of July, everything I post will be Harry Potter themed to celebrate Harry's birthday! To kick things off I thought an A-Z post would be perfect! So here is what comes to my mind first when I think of Harry Potter!

Recent Favourites | April, May + June | Monthly Favourites 2018

It has been quite a hot minute since I sat down to write a favourites post. Which is why this shall be favourites from the last 3 months. So brew a cup of tea and settle in for this one because there are a lot of things included this go around. I'm going to keep the same flowing format I've been using for favourites this year because I like it a lot better than the list format I've been doing for the last 3 years.

Dealing with Social Anxiety | Mental Health + Me

I’ve always been an introvert, a loner. I’ve always liked being alone. Doing things my way, myself. I’ve always hated being out in public. Having to talk to people. Whether it was ordering food or checking out at the store I hate interacting with strangers since I was a kid.

You Showed Me the Universe and the End of Time | The 10th Doctor

You were the Doctor who made me truly fall in love with Time Lords. 9 introduced me to your world and you showed me more than I could have hoped for. 

e.l.f. Cosmetics Mad for Matte Summer Breeze Palette VS Smashbox CoverShot: Ablaze Palette | Product VS

In April I did a post about the new Elf Chromatic Palette being a possible dupe for the Smashbox Ablaze palette. In that post, I realized a possible better dupe would be the Elf Mad for Matte 2 palette. Also, know a summer breeze it is a warm palette with super pretty autumn vibes. So today, as promised at the end of the last Elf vs Smashbox post today I'm going to put these two against each other.
