I've tried many things in the past, but I like to keep it as simple as I can!

This Skincare Routine And Diet Totally Transformed My Oily, Acne-Prone Skin

My entire 19 years of life, I've had really oily skin. The oil contributed to a lot of acne in my early teen years. Any time I would have any sort of milk-based products, my acne and oil would build up.

Recently, I found a great skincare routine that has worked for me and I would like to share it with you. Although every skin type is different, and what works for me may not work for everyone, hopefully, some products I have may be added to your own routine!

Morning:

  1. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
  2. The Ordinary: Niacinamide 10%, Zinc 1% (occasionally, depending on my skin that day)
  3. CeraVe Ultra-Light Face Lotion with Sunscreen (SPF 30)

Night:

  1. CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser
  2. The Ordinary: Niacinamide 10%, Zinc 1%
  3. Curology (crafted for my specific skin type)
  4. CeraVe PM Facial Moisturizing Lotion
Along with this morning and nightly ritual, I have been drinking more water every day, cutting down on sugar and milk-based products, and eating more fruits and vegetables.
Having a good skincare routine helps, but also having a healthy diet and lifestyle are important too!

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.
