Blemishes are not fun. Especially when you're a 20-something-year-old trying to adult in the real world. The last thing you need is a massive bloomer on your face that thinks it's here to stay for the long run. It's time to break up with your blemishes with these 5 tips to treat your aggravating acne:

1. Apple cider vinegar

Apply apple cider vinegar to that pesky pimple that seems to be growing like an uncontrollable tumor. Apple cider vinegar allows the zit to flatten and become less noticeable because it is packed with potassium, magnesium, acetic acid, and various enzymes that kill bacteria on the skin.

2. Aloe

If you think about it, aloe is a natural healer for the skin, so it would also be beneficial to blemishes and even prevent scarring. I suggest getting yourself an aloe plant to get it straight from the source.

3. Moisturizers

Moisturizing is so important with acne. Especially if you are already treating it with creams and washes that are drying out your face. Think about it, when your skin becomes too dry, your body makes more oil. That's the last thing you want. More oil, more acne. The extra oil can clog pores and create more acne. This then takes you back to square one with your acne problem. Find a moisturizer that is oil free and won't clog your pores. I use CeraVe A.M. and CeraVe P.M. to moisturize my face, and it gives me the perfect balance.

4. Sip the H2O

Water is extremely vital to our health. Drink more of it to clear up your skin. After all, our skin is the largest organ of our bodies. Water carries nutrients and vitamins as well as removes toxins from our bodies. It is suggested that we drink eight cups of water a day which is easier said than done. I suggest adding lemon, cucumber, or orange to freshen it up. Also, place it next to your coffee so you go straight to water after finishing your morning cup of java!

5. Pin it

Yes, this can be intrusive to your skin. Yet, the pin causes far less damage to your skin in comparison to you actually attempting to pop your pimple. You would knick the surface of your pimple to relieve some pressure and immediately apply a cream or home remedy to help with the healing process.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day.

If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
