The easiest way to combat Acne

Acne is all something we all experience one way or another. It is something that causes so many insecurities but no matter what your skin looks like you are still truly beautiful and don't ever let someone tell you differently.

I've grown up with decently clear skin and then when college hit my acne was out to get me. I grew very insecure. I learned some crucial things that drastically changed the intensity of my acne. It isn't about all the acne creams and medicines, but it is easy and simple tasks we can all complete.

One thing to do is to cut out dairy as much as possible. Dairy is a huge reason people have acne and it's because the dairy reacts with the skin creating the acne. I used to have dairy all the time, I'd have yogurt every single day for breakfast, but I made one small change and noticed a difference. Instead of normal yogurt, I would eat almond milk yogurt. It tastes almost identical to normal yogurt, but it improved my skin exponentially. I still have dairy here and there but if I have a choice, I'll cut it out. No way am I ever cutting out pizza though.

Another thing that improves the skin is the intake of liquids. I know it sounds cliché, but I can assure you that drinking lots of water improves acne as well. The liquid flushes out all the toxins in your skin leaving it nice and clear. Plus, water helps more than just skin it helps keep you healthy and it helps in losing weight as well. Water is truly a life changer and even though it has no taste adding fruit makes it 10 times better.

Acne is something we all deal with and it is something that is part of being human so never tear yourself down because of acne. You are beautiful in every possible way and acne doesn't define your beauty, but these two tips can potentially help reduce some acne.

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.
