My spontaneous trip to Lush one day is the reason why my acne has finally cleared, thus reducing those pesky acne scars. After dealing with acne for some years now, I have gone through so many products and treatments (whether harsh or light), and nothing has worked until I tried these products from Lush…

There are so many skin care companies and products out there, however, as a facial cleanser nothing had reacted well with my skin. Even if the cleanser did not irritate my skin, it did not help clear my acne, and that is the one thing I need out of a product.

Let the Good Times Roll is my holy grail. After at least one week of using the facial (and body) cleanser, my skin felt nourished and super clean. As the label states, “Buff skin to softness with our sweet, balancing maize flour and corn oil cleanser.” Lush definitely carries this statement out to be true.

Most exfoliators out there can damage the skin if used too rough. However, the maize flour and corn oil face and body cleanser purifies my skin and gets rid of all impurities better than leading brands. This one Lush product lightly yet deeply enough buffed my skin back giving me smooth soft skin.

I have had a hard time finding a moisturizer that actually keeps my skin supple and nourished without clogging my pores. Some end up being ways to heavy making it feel actually disgusting, or some just end up breaking me out horribly. Well, do I have a solution for that!

My skin tends to be dry and oily (combination skin) and Imperialis is the absolute perfect product to fix this. The label reads, “An orange blossom cream that’s perfect to balance out-of-sorts skin” and the moisturizer does exactly that. Although it can take about two days to feel your skin completely balanced, it is worth it.

I use it two times a day, once in the morning and once before bed, both times after I wash my face using the cleanser. I love this product, however, I have my eyes set on Vanishing Creamafter this second container of Imperialis runs out!

Although I have just run out, Mask of Magnaminty, was the first face mask I bought from Lush and it was the best decision I had ever made. It cleaned deep into my pores and after ever use I felt my skin become so light.

“We add loads of ground aduki beans to exfoliate flaky or dry skin, vanilla absolute to calm redness and honey to soothe and moisturize.” It is the complete all in one for me.

Also, who would not love the minty smell it gives off? I keep the mask on for usually a little around 15 minutes and until it has dried. After I wash it off with warm water, I know my skin is thanking me!

These products listed above are ones that suited my skin. In other words, it might not work for you 100 percent but I definitely recommend trying them because they seriously did save my skin. Although these are three products I absolutely adore, there will be a post about the ones I am really not a huge a fan of...

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.
