I have to say that my awkward years growing up was definitely from 12 to 13. I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup till I went into grade 8 and that is when I started to learn how to apply it and how to really style my hair. I mean grade 8 was a big thing and my first year at High School, I had to look good. However looking back on the pictures I really didn’t have the makeup thing down yet and looking good could have been used loosely! It was definitely an awkward year for me.

Everyone goes thru that awkward stage in life. The majority of us go thru that stage in out teen years and mine were no different. It was when I was 13, as soon as my voice changed I thought to myself, ‘Hey, you’re a bit of a dork.’ I was shy, introverted and not social at all. Fortunately for me music came along and I started dressing strangely. I looked weird but hey, at least I was popular!
