Getting Over A Breakup By: Kayla Rodriguez
Breakups are always tough. No one ever wants to deal with that heartbreak. Whether its bittersweet or just Bad I'm
going to help you with some tips on how to deal.
2. Talk to your friends. Don‘t think you need to go through it alone.
Your best friends will always be there for you.
Things you'll need:
Ice cream Friends Movies Music
1. Buy your favorite ice cream and just pig out on it. Ice cream always helps to
mend a broken heart.
3. Watch movies. Rent your favorite movies and have a marathon.
(Try: My Life In Ruins, Valentines Day, The Help, Just Go With It, or
Soul Surfer)
4. Listen to music. Music is definitely an important thing to do. Music always
knows how you feel. (Try: Taylor Swift or JoJo!)
5. Don‘t try to get revenge. Its the worst thing you can do. You don‘t want him
to think that he did the right thing by breaking up with you.
6. Start a new hobby to get your mind off of him.
7. Go shopping. by yourself something nice like a purse or a cute pair of shoes!
8. Put all your relationship mementos in a box and keep it out of site.
All those things will just remind you of him.
9. Don't be too hard on yourself. Its natural to always blame yourself
for things that happen. Keep your thought positive and remind your-
self how great you are.
10. Don't waste energy hating him. Its easy to be upset with him but
remember that there are more guys out there that will appreciate you
for who you are.
“It’s better to have loved and lost, than to
have never loved at all.”
One of the places I visited over the summer was Ground Zero. As I walked into the memorial room, I
was startled by a picture on the wall of two different women‘s reactions to the scene. Both of their faces were
distraught with anguish and horror; you could see their pain written clearly through their expressions—mouths
agape with their hands clasped over, ready to burst into tears. I walked through the room and saw a boy who was
maybe ten, crying. ―I want daddy—I miss him!!!” he wailed in despair. My throat choked and I had to catch my
breath, this boy had lost his own father in 9/11. I walked into the gift shop area and looked at the lines of books
side by side on the shelves. As I browsed, I passed a one-year old in a stroller looking at the pictures with his big
eyes and a face that mad it seem as though even he knew how somber and sacred the room really is. I picked out
a couple of postcards and got in line. I wondered how the people who work there do it, how do they get through
all of the tears that are cried, all the painful memories shared in that room? As if to answer my question, one of
the guys came over to ring up my postcards and was obviously choked up. He stood still for a minute, holding
on to the countertop to catch his breath, and I could tell that his eyes were teary. ―The total will be 2.60‖ he said
with a shaky voice, still catching his breath. I paid and took my postcards, in awe of the memorial‘s strong im-
pact on everyone who comes in. In this issue you get to read the stories of the wives and girlfriends of the sol-
diers who were deployed overseas in response to 9/11. Their stories are incredible, and you know after reading
them that these women have to be strong to go through what they do. It‘s been ten years, we owe our military
families all the respect and appreciation that they deserve.

Margaret* and Ken* are a
young couple in their first years of
service. Margaret talks about some of
the challenges that military families
go through: ―It was difficult [when
we first started out] because I had just
had the baby. We were running off of
the money we had [from selling] our
car to a junkyard and weren't sure if
we could even afford to feed our-
selves if they didn't pay us soon. Of
course it all comes back to you liter-
ally in back pay but that is any com-
fort when you're broke now. We kept
things as mean and lean [as possible]
for ourselves so we could take care of
the baby and the bills we had to pay
especially since we had to pay safety
deposit on our home from our little
money. Without the car not [we
couldn‘t get around well]. We had to
rely on his unit to help us out to do
things like go to the grocery store or
to go to the car salesmen to get our
own. It was frustrating because then
he was in a unit who really didn't care
about their soldiers. Now he has re-
cently moved up to battalion level
work and it's more work and more
difficult but I have been in and out of
the hospital and his sergeant gave
him the speech that‘ if you think you
are coming into work when your wife
is that ill you're insane.‘ Where[as]
before I had to fight for him to be
able to help me to the doctors.
―Of course I worry [about Ken get-
ting deployed]. I have several possi-
ble plans of action as to what my son
and I will do. Of course that changes
when he starts going to school. If Ken

of dying
but a higher rate of being seriously
wounded. But as a wife there are cer-
tain things I do know already even
when he is just at training.
―As a wife you don't fight while they
are gone or stress them at all. The last
thing you want to do is distract or upset
them. If you speak to them, you remind
them that you love them, are proud of

like I did that our great nation was go-
ing to be at war and he wanted to go
with her. I am proud of him and when
he deploys, I will worry without end

be proud without end. And I think that

―As [our son] grows up with daddy
having to be gone or mommy having to
go across the nation for a meeting or
having to move, I want him to be able
to take away that he is exceptionally
lucky. He will get to
experience different cultures
and different people in a way that most
others won't; that he has a mommy and
daddy that love him and want to make
the world let alone this country safer
for him to live in, and that above all he
is loved and that no matter where we go
he has a family he can always come to
for help, comfort, or just a plain old
good time. The thing I worry about
more than anything is what the knowl-
edge of us, moreover his father not
coming back, can do to a little boy. Ken
and I both
had very little childhood. We were
grown ups before we got to
making mudpies in the
front yard. I don't want that
for my son and I do know
it will happen just a little
every time daddy goes
away.‖
Brooke and her hubby also
shared their experience as a
military couple:
―Some people think that
being a military wife is an
easy job, while others real-
ize that there is more to it
than just supporting your
husband and being strong
for your family. It is not an
easy task wondering if you
are going to see your loved
one again as you kiss him
goodbye and send him off
on another deployment. They are strong
men, but behind every strong man there
has to be a strong woman. We are

home. The
truth is, it doesn't
matter [job he has
now], I know he
will get into one
where he will be
either on the front or behind the
lines soon. And I can't be mad at
that. If I didn't have the medical
condition I do, I would want to be
unlike any other group of women
you will ever meet.
―My husband and I first met while
we were in high school; we are
what most refer to as ‗high school
sweethearts.‘ When he first told me
he wanted to join the military I did-
n‘t know what to respond with. The
thought of being away from him for
so long didn‘t quite appease me, but
to this day I continuously reassure
him that I will support him in
whichever direction he decides to
go. I have been through it all with
him: basic training, MOS school,
multiple deployments. There is a lot
more tied into it all, but that would
make for a long list
so I will keep it simple.
―Deployments are hard to deal with
sometimes, but I have found that if
you can make it through the first
half of it the second half will go by
rather quickly. I always had my
phone glued to my side to make
sure I wouldn‘t miss any phone
calls, should I receive one. During
his first two deployments I got to
talk to him on the phone more fre-
quently than on his third tour.
When I say frequently, I mean once
every month or two. Most of our
communication was via internet,
but that is how I kept up with him
too. I was able to check to see if he
had been online recently, and as
long as I saw he had been on every
couple of days it would ease my
mind a bit.
―The third, and most recent deploy-
ment, was the most difficult for me
to handle. Nothing about it felt
quite right, it was as if knowing
something bad was going to hap-
pen. We were about to reach the
five month mark when I received a
phone call at an early hour on Feb-
ruary 28th. Little did I know, this
phone call would be one to change
the rest of our lives. I was informed
that my husband had stepped on an
I.E.D and had been transported to
the hospital. This incident resulted
in a right below the knee amputa-
tion. He is doing well right now and
has been undergoing rehab for the
past few months. It amazes me
more each day as I watch him pro-
gress. I am so fortunate to still have
him in my life.
―The military lifestyle isn‘t for
everyone; some can handle it while
others can‘t. It is important to have
a good support group as well as
keeping your faith strong. Strength
reveals itself at times when you feel
as if there is nothing left to hold on
to. I can truly say I am proud to be
a military wife, not only because of
the sacrifices my husband has
made, but also because of
everything he has accomplished.
Although we may not serve over-
seas, we stand by our men and sup-
port them nonstop while they risk
their lives defending our country. I
can say with outstanding pride that
my husband is the love of my life,
my best friend, and my hero.‖

5. Here’s where I also start filling in my lower lid, just below my lash line. Be
careful here! It’s easy to get too much eyeshadow on your lower lid, making you look really tired or even bruised…
Before you start:
I don‘t know about you, but personally, I like to have all my foundation on before I start applying eye makeup. I don‘t
like having it get messed up by eyeshadow fallout though! There‘s a nice solution for this – make sure you put down a
nice thick layer of face powder under your eyes along your cheekbones. You can use flesh tone over your foundation, or
a translucent powder – it doesn‘t matter as long as it makes your foundation or skin less sticky.
1. Alright, so the first step: primer. Something I’ve learned is that you can really just use whatever
you have on hand – lotion, concealer, a more sheer foundation, or actual primer. I’m using a sheer foundation or base with sunscreen in it.
Alright. The brushes I‘ll be using for this look are all inexpensive E.L.F. brushes that you can purchase at
elf.com. The big brush is useful for sweeping away any eyeshadow that flakes onto your cheeks when you
put it on, and the rest are different shapes and sizes for different areas of coverage. The small one furthest to
the left is slightly angled, good for smaller areas, the flat one is great for thin lines, and the other two are
rounded and more all-purpose.
4. After that goes on, start darkening your look. The secrets to getting your eyeshadow to look
really good are going slowly with lots of levels of color, and blending. Here, I’ve brushed a darker, grayer brown into the crease and outer corner of my eye, and blended

2. Sweep nude shimmer eyeshadow all over the eyelid just past the crease.
3. The next step here is to brush in a more golden toned nude into the crease area, or where your
eyelid meats the sweep of skin up to your brow bone that doesn’t wrinkle.
Here’s the makeup palette I’ve used for this look. You can find it on eBay by just searching “120 palette.” The colors are pretty good for the price – only
$20.00!!
6. … And here’s what it looks like with a touch of black
added! Now you can really see what I’m talking about when I say “crease.” It’s darker now, and this is what makes your eyes pop! Be really careful, though, and go slowly. It’s easy to follow your crease wrong.
10. Next, I’m using glitter adhesive from Sally Beauty as a mixing medium, and combining it
with glitter to make an eyeliner of sorts. I’m just using my makeup palette to mix on. I apply the glitter with a brush to
the inner corner of my eye and slightly onto the lid. After this,
apply mascara, sweep away any fallout, and you‘re done with

7.You can also put a little black below your lower lash line. I’ve done this with that flat brush
that I talked about at the beginning of the tutorial.
8.Now I’ve added just a little brown to my waterline – that space between the lower lash line
and my actual eyeball. (It’s easy to find a video about how to do this on Youtube.) The reason I’ve done this is so the space won’t be as bright and distract from the rest of the look.
9.Now I’ve brushed in a highlight in the inner corner of my eye. This brightens up that section
and gives a little shimmer. You can also see better how dark the water line is now.
