This is so inspiring to hear about. Big change can be slow, frustrating, and imperfect but these small, positive changes can keep us going.

Ok but hasn’t it been shown that a single stupefy wouldn’t be enough to have an effect on hagrid due to his giant blood?

possibly interrupting himself mid-snore to offer advice
*Hagrid sits up*
“SUPPORT ‘IS LI’IL HEAD, YE GREAT IDIOT!”
*lies down*
*Sirius climbs on motorbike*
*Hagrid sits up again*
“DON’ FERGET TO BURP ‘IM AFTER A FEEDIN!”
*Motorbike zooms off*
*Hagrid sits up, cups hands and yells*
“AN’ MAKE SURE ‘E SLEEPS ON ‘IS BACK!”
*lies down again for another five minutes for good measure*

I am REALLY frustrated trying to find makeup looks/tutorials for brown skin. Does anyone know of a good tumblr or site that has makeup looks for brown skin? I am looking particularly for formal/wedding looks.
Thank you in advance!
