Your skin will definitely thank you for trying these easy skin care ideas.

1. Clean your makeup brushes with vinegar.

Use a tablespoon (or two) of warmed up white vinegar in a cup of hot water. Let your brushes sit in it for 20 minutes. Then Rinse each of them in hot water then cold. It gets all the makeup out and gets most of the bacteria out of them.

2. Use activated charcoal powder as a natural teeth whitener.

You just wet your toothbrush and and dip it in. I use a different toothbrush for this and do it every other night. I brush with it for 5 minutes.Then I use my WaterPik (water flosser) to get all the plaque and charcoal out of my mouth. Next I just brush my teeth with normal toothpaste and my other toothbrush.

3. Do weekly steam facials.

You can do this two ways:

Boil a pot of water and put your face over it with a towel covering you, so the steam won't escape. You can also add essential oils that benefit your skin.

Or, you can purchase a face steamer. Here's a link for the one I got on Amazon. These just save some time on waiting for the water to warm up and these shoot out steam directly on your face. You still need a towel over your head for this one.

Sit there for 10-15 minutes.

4. Use Biore strips.

After you're done with your steam facial, put Biore strips on your face. Then you let those sit for 10-15 minutes, or until dry. These get blackheads, dead skin, and dirt out of your pores.

5. Replace your usual mask with the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask.

Mix some of the clay powder in a bowl with apple cider vinegar for better results. This mask makes your face very tight when it dries, but leaves it so so so soft once you've washed it all off. This is my favorite clay mask ever. You can also use it on your chest and back.

6. Soak your feet in epsom salt.

I fill my foot bath with hot water, four scoops of Epsom salt, and a few drops of lavender essential oil. This makes my feet so soft and takes the soreness away from my feet.

7. Love your hair and give it a hair mask.

There are millions of hair masks and hair mask recipes on Pinterest. I use a spoon of castor oil and coconut oil and mix it together, and microwave it for 30 seconds. Massage it into your scalp and put a shower cap over your hair and leave it in for 4-7 hours. Then you wash it out. This promotes strengthening and growing hair.

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.
