I have delved into skincare, but have recently found a passion and love for skincare. After weeks of research, I compiled a list of affordable skincare products ranging from cleansers to chemical exfoliators that I can guarantee work effectively to give you the best results possible.

1. Simple Micellar Gel Wash

When I tell you that this product does miracles! This affordable cleanser works on every all skin types and removes dirt without stripping the oils from your face.

Use this fragrance-free, Hyram-approved, product on a regular basis regularly as a product to clean your face of any impurities.

2. Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleanser

If you have dry skin, this is a perfect cleanser for you! I use this cleanser all the time and it is a wonderful fragrance-free product that hydrates your skin and gives you that perfect fresh look. Use this regularly with other products for permanent results.

3. La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Cleanser

La Roche-Posay is a brand that I would say can never let you down, their formulas and ingredient are high quality and work effectively to remove dirt and unclog your pores.

Glycerin, Ceramides, Niacinamide are some of the hydrating ingredients found in this product.

$20

4. Earth to Skin Super Greens Cleanser

If the following cleansers are out of stock because of the skincare obsession during quarantine, Earth to Skin Super Greens Cleanser is an underrated cleanser that works beautifully on dry skin.

Using natural extracts like cucumber, kale, and broccoli extracts, this product offers soothing effects like no other product.

5. The Ordinary AHA 30% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution

If you have not heard about this product where have you been! This ordinary product has been floating through social media and is so difficult to get your hands on.

Luckily, I have tried this product before and I can assure the hype is real. The ingredients in this product remove the look of large pores and clears pores using chemical exfoliation.

If you have mild to severe acne, this is a product you should definitely have.

6. CeraVe Renewing Salicylic Acid Cleanser 

CeraVe has been gaining a lo of popularity, but some of their products are better than others. This product in specific has an ingredient called salicylic acid which helps with longterm minimal breakout.

Salicylic acid is also great to help with uneven skin tone and redness.

The sound acid might scare you, but trust me chemical exfoliators like salicylic acid are way better for your skin than physical exfoliators like scrubs.

Alpha arbutin a water-soluble version of arbutin and is one of the most advanced natural ingredients in skincare which helps even out dark skin.

Since I have a melanin-rich skin tone, this product works wonders for me. For such an affordable price, you cannot go wrong with this product.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
