The Aloe Vera plant is a gift we can take for granted in society.

Thanks to all our parents giving aloe to us after our sunburns, we know this plant is a mystery healer.

However, the healing does not stop there. We do not realize we are ignoring the many other benefits this plant can give us.

The aloe plant is actually one of the most historical plants that the Chinese and Egyptians utilized back in the day for medicine and healing wounds. Through out time the tradition for healing burns has kept going. However, today we use it for everything.

Thanks to the beauty industry we are slowly realizing as a society aloe can also help your skin and acne. Now aloe is found as an ingredient in face sprays, acne medicine, moisturizers, and cleansers to help your skin beat acne and also help with scaring and clearing skin of texture. The vitamins and minerals in the Aloe Vera plant help clear skin and the amino acids in the stem of the plant help strengthen the skin.

The plant can also be used to moisturize, not just for your face, but for your body to strengthen and smooth the skin. The plant is also great for beating out cold sores and keeping the sores away.

Aloe Vera juice is also important and carries a lot of healthy benefits for inside the body as well. Yes, this healthy juice is safe to drink and will provide the body with many benefits. The amino acids from the stem can be juiced and can help with digestion issues, while boosting the immune system in the body. Drinking this juice will also help the liver because it is great with hydrating and giving the liver all the vitamins and minerals found in the plant.

The plant itself is also great for detoxifying the air and making the air more breathable for people who have trouble breathing or people with severe asthma.

Ancient Roman Kings: 7 Leaders of Early Rome

The names and dates of the reigns of the first four kings, as well as the alternation of Sabin and Latin names, are more legendary than historical. The last three kings, of Etruscan origin, have an existence which seems less uncertain.

It is evident that all this is only a legend although archeology shows us little by little that these kings if they did not exist as the ancient history, describes them, have at least in the very Outlines were real as chief of a shepherd’s tribe. The period when kings ruled Rome could estimate at 245 years.

Love Lost

Being the girl that is falling for the boy is never easy.

You constantly text my phone telling me that you want to see me and hang out, even though we may not have sex we cuddle and that’s intimacy in its own. I’m tired of buying you food and being there for you like a girlfriend when you consistently tell me you aren't ready for a girlfriend. I am constantly feeling I’m getting slapped in the face because I’m doing all these things and getting nothing in return. Every day I feel myself liking you more which is just crazy because why would I even waste my time liking someone there isn’t a future with. I just want you to be honest with me and with yourself, tell me how you feel from your heart, stop just saying you aren’t ready. You are wasting time telling me you aren’t ready because while you are “getting ready” some guy somewhere else is telling me that he likes me and thinks I’m beautiful and wants to date me. I’m not asking for much, but I at least want exclusivity because you ask me for all these things but in return you give me nothing.

I was completely and totally obsessed on all accounts. However, even though I loved the fact that the books and the show are starkly different, there are simply just some ways in which the books are much better. Let's take a look:

Recently I was blessed to be a counselor at a wonderful camp, secluded in a cornfield somewhere in Virginia. I consider myself to be a seasoned camp counselor, as I have not only been a camper for most of my life but have been privileged enough to work multiple camps with all kinds of different facilities. I have worked camps with multi-thousand dollar facilities, with zip lines, rock walls, ropes courses, and boats. I have worked at camps with amazing water sports, camps with paintball, camps with canoes and paddle boats and floating blobs or trampolines in the middle of the water. I have worked at camps with in ground pools and camps without any pools, and even some camps with go-karts. I've had problem kids, kids who refuse to listen to anything I say, kids who sneak out after lights out to meet a significant other, and kids who are every camp counselors dream.

The United Nations (UN) has been in existence since June of 1945. Since then, the world has come together to work on and solve some of the harshest problems that face the Human Race. Be it children in societal ills like Human Trafficking, natural issues like Deforestation, or issues of extreme poverty, the UN has worked together in an attempt to make it a better place for us all. It's the only organization in the history of the world to bring people together in a willing, peaceful way; a feat that not even the League of Nations could do in the Post- WWI era. Why was it that one organization failed, and the other one is still going strong, 72 years later?
