Sometimes everyone needs to take a little R & R once in a while and what's a better way to do that than a self-care day?

Oat and Lemon

It seems like everyone has their own personal struggle with acne and it only gets worse when stress enters the equation. Well, that is where this particular face mask can be of help! This homemade mask takes ten minutes to make and contains oats, honey, lemon, and the optional tea tree oil (if you happen to have it lying around the house). Oats contain a cleansing agent that can be used on sensitive skin and honey aids in the opening of pores. The lemon in this mask can help with oily skin and get rid of acne scars and if you choose to aid the tea tree oil, you will be enhancing the antibacterial properties this mask has.

Here's what you need:

2 tablespoon old fashioned oats

1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoon honey

4 drops tea tree oil


Here's how you do it:

1. Grind the oats

2. Mix the ground oats with the lemon, honey, and tea tree oil

3. Apply to the face for 15 minutes and rinse with cold water and a washcloth

4. Enjoy saying goodbye to acne!

Yogurt and Turmeric

Turmeric has become a household name as of late, involving itself not only in cooking but self-care as well. This spice can help reduce inflammation and bring evenness back to your skin tone. The benefit of yogurt is found in lactic acid. The lactic acid present in yogurt helps to lift away dead and damaged skin cells, allowing your new dewy complexion to shine through.

Here's what you need:

1 tablespoon of natural plain yogurt

1 tablespoon of honey

1 tablespoon turmeric powder


Here's how you do it:

1. Mix together all of the ingredients in a bowl

2. Apply to face for 10-15 minutes

3. Rinse with cold water and washcloth

4. Astonish friends with your beautiful new complexion and even skin texture

What's a face mask article without the mention of this super-fruit? Avocado helps to nourish and hydrate your skin, as well as aiding in reducing the harmful effects the sun can have upon your face through this rehydration.

If you really wanted to indulge in the hydration aspect, incorporate extra virgin olive oil into this mask.


Here's what you need:

1/2 ripe avocado

1 teaspoon plain organic yogurt

1 teaspoon honey

For maximizing hydration: 1-2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil


Here's how you do it:

1. Mash avocado in small bowl

2. Add all other ingredients and combine well

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
