My Skin Care Routine

Here's a look into my own personal skin care routine!

My Skin Care Routine

When it comes to skincare, I am completely the grandma of my friend group. One time I went shopping for some anti-wrinkle face cream at Target and got some of those "based on what you purchased..." coupons for adult diapers.

Laugh all you want, I'm busy preventing those laugh lines with my skincare routine.

Here is some of my all-time favorite skincare advice from 21-going-on-81 year old me to you.

1. SUN. SCREEN.

Don't ever go outside without it. This is the absolute best way to prevent wrinkles so buy a moisturizer with SPF in it and wear it even on cloudy days. Even under makeup. Do it.

2. Drink green tea.

It's sooo good for you. Not only does it make your skin glow, but it has a million other cancer-preventing, metabolism-boosting health benefits.

3. Wrinkles.

Even if you're twenty, you're not too young to use anti-wrinkle cream. It's great for your skin and it's not too early to jump on that prevention train. I recommend using it at night because it's pretty powerful stuff and can tingle and cause a little redness.

4. Exfoliate.

I was once told that men get fewer wrinkles because daily shaving exfoliates your skin, and that's always kind of stuck with me. Don't exfoliate too much or too harshly, but a scrub or a peel every week or every couple days is a great idea.

5. DON'TSLEEPINYOURMAKEUP

I cant reiterate this one enough. It's terrible for your skin and can age your face a lot faster. It's good to wash your face every night, but let's be real, we don't. Keep some makeup remover wipe next to your bed so that even if you're the most exhausted, you can roll over and drag a wipe across your face. You'll feel better in the morning too, trust me.

6. LEMONS

Drink water with lemons. Put lemons on your food. Wash your face with lemon juice and honey and it'll make your face brighter. This stuff is good for ya.

7. Eye cream

Crows feet, dark circles, puffy eyes, can all be a thing of the past if we would all just use some dang eye cream. Pick up some of that old lady stuff from the drugstore.

8. Chill out.

De-stress. Take a break from makeup sometimes. Live your life like you're peaceful and full of life and only wear it when you want to.

You'll be a glowing old lady in no time.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
