Dry Weather, Dry Skin

It's a cold winter day and you take a step outside. As you're looking around you see dry grass, the streets are covered in a white ash and the wind is howling...

Winter is a season that many people enjoy. Whether it's snowball fights, sledding, ice skating or even taking a stroll around the park; people always seem to enjoy themselves during the most wonderful time of the year. One cold winter morning you wake up and go to your bathroom mirror and notice that your skin is dry.

The winter weather can take a toll on our skin. Cold howling wind can damage skin by drying it out. Dry skin can easily tear or feel tight. As you guessed, it isn't healthy for the skin. Keeping your skin moisturized is a HUGE must when winter rolls around. Below I will leave a couple tips on how to keep your skin moisturized during this cold season.

Tip#1

Vaseline

Put Vaseline on your face before going out inside. Vaseline protects the skin from harsh winds and keeps your face warm while you walk in the cold weather.

Tip#2

Moisturize After Showers

People tend to like hot showers, especially during winter. As the hot water hits our skin; it is also stripping us of our natural oils. Using raw shea butter or any other natural ingredient is always what's best on your skin. From experience, I would try avoiding less moisturizing products such as Bath & Body Works, Victoria's Secret and Jergens; these brands use alcohol in their products which is not really helping our skin during these days of need.

Tip #3

Dress Appropriately

Wrapping your face with a scarf, and wearing both a coat and gloves will keep your skin safe from the harsh conditions of winter. Protecting your skin before the wind gets to it is a very smart move to avoid dry skin.

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.
