How to keep your skin clear in 4 easy steps:

1: Make sure the products that you use to wash your skin, such as body gel, are completely scrubbed off before exiting the shower.

2. Drink lots of water! Not only will your skin thank you, but basically every other part of your body will as well--drinking water is basically a win-win situation.

3. Cut out toxic people: don't text them back, don't get coffee with them, don't even think about them. Toxic people=stress, and because you deserve more than having a few of them laying around, cut them out. Even if you're a type of person who values everyone's personal opinions about themselves (like me). Staying awake late at night is for Netflix binging, not stress over people who would not even think about putting themselves in such a giving position as you would. Sure, all relationships need work, but work is a two-way street and is definitely not a one-way street with someone holding eighty pounds of brick on their back, too.

4. Pay more attention to your diet: instead of having desert every meal, pick one meal to treat yourself. Salads may not taste the best, so find healthy alternates that fulfill your vitamin and health category. Or if you're like my mother, you'll find an obscure vegetable to bring to the dinner table. I have noticed that sometimes, not liking vegetables stems from not understanding how to cook them, so investing more time in this department could actually be more helpful

More importantly: acne or any kind of skin blemish does not make you ugly! It is a product of a multitude of factors that are beyond your control

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.
