I Finally Tried The Ordinary On My Oily, Acne-Prone Skin, And It's Never Looked Healthier

Growing up, my skin was always so, for lack of a better word, gross. My skin would be super greasy, and would break out everywhere. No matter what I did, I could never find a good product or brand to use. Just when I thought my skin was getting better, it would get much worse than before.

I would try product after product, brand after brand, and nothing ever seemed to work.

One holiday, my cousin mentioned this amazing skincare line she found. She said it completely changed her skin. Now, my cousin would always be the one I turned to for advice for pretty much anything.

So, when she said this brand is amazing, I knew I had to try it. No questions asked! I went online and immediately found it. The reviews, though little in quantity, were outstanding.

The majority of them raved about how this brand has changed their life.

"The Ordinary" has revolutionized this industry. The Canadian brand offers affordable, no-frill packages while focusing on active ingredients. They have many different products that work for practically every skin type.

I started using this brand mainly because it's gentle on sensitive skin. Many brands advertise this, but many fall short; this brand, however, does not.

I started using these products a few months ago, and my skin has never been better. I break out less, and overall, it's less oily.

This is, by far, one of the better skincare brands out there.

I've been using the Squalane Cleanser, Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5, and Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA. When used together, and in that order, these products have amazing effects.

It's helped hydrate and heal my skin from years of wrongful cleaning. On occasion, I also use the 100% Organic-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil, which is as amazing as everything else.

This product has changed my life.

I highly recommend this to anyone who's looking for affordable, gentle skincare. This product is sold at both Ulta and Sephora.

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.
