How To Make Your Skin Glow, Even In The Winter Months
Shelby Stump

The winter months can really put a damper on having healthy, glowy skin. It is hard to look radiant when your skin is dry and flaky. Below are a few of my favorite products to keep your skin looking beautiful through the harsh winter months. Some of these items get a little pricey, but I recommend you purchase the mini sizes because you can try it out without breaking the bank.

All prices below are full-size prices; therefore, the mini sizes will be significantly more affordable.

1. Mario Badescu Glycolic Foaming Cleanser

This cleaner is great to use about once or twice a week. The glycolic acid gently exfoliates your skin to get rid of dead skin cells that cause dry patches. It retails for around $16.

2. Philosophy Purity Cleanser

This cleanser is a great cleaner for the days you do not exfoliate! It is extremely gentle and really cleans the skin while also not stripping the skin of its natural oils. It does a great job of keeping your skin healthy. It can be bought for $36.

3. Kate Summerville Exfolikate Intensive Exfoliating Treatment

If I had to recommend only one product, it would be this one. The first time I used this I was absolutely stunned. The name does not lie because it really does its job well. After following the directions, there will be zero dead skin cells left on your face, along with your face feeling extremely smooth. It also evens out skin texture beautifully. Being priced at $85, it is a splurge item. It will last you a very long time because I only recommend using it once a week due to how intense of a treatment it is.

4. Pixi Glow Tonic

I never understood the importance of toning until I started doing it. You can purchase different types of tonics for different skin issues. This tonic contains glycolic acid also which means it will also exfoliate your skin. Glycolic acid is a great ingredient to look for during the winter months. This retails for about $15 a bottle.

5. Fresh Rose Face Mask

After all the exfoliation on your skin, you need to add moisture to the fresh skin cells. This mask is a quick easy mask to throw on for a couple minutes. It is made of organic rose and really makes your skin healthy. I love to apply this in the morning while I am brushing my teeth, before applying makeup. This mask goes for $62 full size.

6. Algenist Complete Eye Renewal Balm

Taking care of your eyes is one of the most important parts of skin care because they are the first to age. This eye cream moisturizes your under eyes while it also contains alguronic acid which is a leading ingredient in anti-aging skin care. A good eye cream is always worth the money because you only use a little amount each application. This one retails for around $68.

7. Korres Wild Rose Vitamin C Active Brightening Oil

Adding an oil to your skincare routine is a huge moisture bonus. My favorite thing about this one is that it moisturizes, brightenings, and prevents aging all in one. I recommend applying oils at night right before your moisturizer if you want to have that extra boost of moisture for your skin. You can find this oil priced at $54.

8. Philosophy Renewed Hope In a Jar Moisturizer

This moisturizer does its job perfectly. For best results, I enjoy applying it in the morning and at night. It is really light and rich so it adds moisture to your skin while not clogging your pores. It adds such a beautiful glow to the skin if you wish to apply this under your makeup. This moisturizer can be purchased for $39.

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.
