I have been wanting to talk a certain kind of tea for a while that has lots of benefits, and that is GREEN TEA! Green tea has so many benefits that I feel is so helpful.

1. It helps you relax.

Giphy

First, green tea helps with of course relaxing the body. I know for me whenever I drink green tea, I feel more calm and collected. Green tea is something that is nice to have before bed, and also a good alternative for coffee.

2. Detoxing is a major key!

Giphy

Green tea is a natural detox. That means all the nasty, unhealthy foods you may have eaten over the weekend can all be gone with a cup of green tea.

Since green tea is a detox, that also means that it is also flushing away the bad things in your skin as well which can all help with gaining a natural glow.

3. Sis, it's time for dark circles to be gone. 

Giphy

Green tea also helps with reducing dark circles. All you have to do is dip the green tea in water, place the green tea bags in the fridge, then later place them over your eyes and let sit for 20 mins.

4. Morning time fine!

Giphy

Another thing that I've noticed is, green tea has caffeine in it, so you could repeat all the steps from the last point but instead apply the tea bags in the morning. This can help reduce the puffiness we have sometimes in the morning when we wake up.

5. You go smarty pants!

I've read that drinking tea can also help with brain function! So drink a cup in the morning and get your day started right.

6. Because we're balling on a budget.

Giphy

An easy makeup and beauty hack is to use green tea as a toner. Toner is basically just something you put on your face that helps keep it clean, and can also help with oily skin.

All you have to do is put all natural green tea in a little spray bottle, and that's it. The green tea is going to help keep the skin clean but is also going to help with detoxifying your pores.

7. Turn your bathroom into a spa.

Giphy

Something you could try is putting a couple green tea bags in your bath and just letting them sit. This is going to help with giving your whole body a natural glow, detoxing the skin on your body, and will just make you feel relaxed.

8. Hydration should always be a part of your routine.

Giphy

Just like water, green tea can also help with hydration. I read on Pinterest that we should drink water after we eat breakfast because this can help prevent dehydration.

9. Let green tea give you inches.

Giphy

Green tea also promotes hair growth. All you have to do is take green tea and incorporate it into your wash routine.

10. Green tea can get you feeling better.

Giphy

Lastly, green tea can help with your overall health. It helps reduce side affects when sick, such as helping with inflamed throats, and it works even better when you add lemon!

You see green tea has so many added benefits, so try to add this into your daily routine and see the results you get!

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

day·dream (ˈdāˌdrēm/): a series of pleasant thoughts that distract one's attention from the present.

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
