These 3 Smoothies Totally Cleared My Acne-Prone And Scarred Skin
How I drank my way to flawless skin.
8h
With this summer being the first of its kind for most people to be in the midst of a global pandemic, almost everyone is beginning to have an overall focus on improving their health.
<p>What I realized, in particular, was the appearance of your skin is sometimes a direct result of the food you eat. After putting this principle to the test and having glowing results (pun intended) I proudly present three smoothies that helped clear my skin.</p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646362086-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

</div></p><h3>1. Blueberry And Spirulina Smoothie</h3><p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p><p>- 1/2 cup of blueberries</p><p>- 1 cup of orange juice</p><p>- 1 scoop of spirulina powder</p><p><strong>How it works:</strong></p><p>Loaded with antioxidants and vitamins, this smoothie is so simple to make. All berries contain antioxidants, but drinking blueberries in particular help lessen the appearance of acne on prone skin types. </p><p>Spirulina is a blue-green algae super powder that contains free radicals that detoxify the skin and increase the skin's metabolism for a faster cell turnout. With my skin a victim of hyperpigmentation, this smoothie helped me clear up my dark spots.<br></p><h3>2. Papaya And Coconut-Pineapple Smoothie</h3><p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p><p>- ⅓ cup of papaya chunks</p><p>- ½ cup of pineapple chunks</p><p>- 1 cup of coconut water</p><p>- 1 tablespoon of chia seeds</p><p><strong>How it works:</strong></p><p>This smoothie is my favorite because of the coconut water which hydrates and refreshes the skin. Chia seeds contain omega 3 fatty acids, that can act as an anti-aging property, heal acne scars, and soothe inflamed skin. </p><p>Papaya contains vitamin A which helps remove the skin's inactive protein, and pineapples have vitamin c which improves the production of collagen. This smoothie helped revitalize my dull skin with glowy, supple skin, often having the confidence to skip putting on makeup. </p><p>Also, this smoothie is a healthier alternative to creamy tropical alcoholic drinks.</p><h3>3. Green and ginger-banana smoothie</h3><p><strong>Ingredients:</strong></p><p>- 1 banana</p><p>- 1 small thumb of ginger</p><p><div class="js--ga-impression-newsletter-cta-content">

</div></p><p>- ½ cup of kale</p><p>- 1 cup of orange juice</p><p><strong>How it works:</strong></p><p>While I use to not be a huge fan of green smoothies (or ginger to be fair), this one has by far become one of my favorites. It has a beautiful vibrant green color with a sweet-spicy taste! </p><p>As the base for most smoothies, banana's contain huge amounts of potassium that help moisturize your skin. Ginger contains antioxidants that help to reverse the aging of the skin. </p><p>Kale is a green that contains a number of vitamins and beta-carotene that repairs the skin. </p><p>This smoothie is not only a way for me to get my greens in for a healthy detox, but this smoothie helps revitalize my dry skin.</p>

Your Summer Disney Plans May Be Canceled, But You Can Make Their Magical Churros Right At Home
Prince and talking mice not included.
10h
Everyone remembers the first time they went to one of the Disney parks. Spinning in teacups and having Goofy wrap his arms around my 8-year-old self were some of my fondest childhood memories, and I'm surely not alone in that.
<p>Personally, my family and I never really ate at the parks — the extravagant prices were enough to scare us into smuggling sandwiches and granola bars in. As I grew older, the concessions either got way cooler (butterbeer, anyone?) or I just never cared enough to notice them as a kid. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646365835-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

</div></p><p>I haven't planned a Disney trip any time soon, but when the return trip does happen, you can be sure their branded and themed food items will top my to-do list. One of the most popular foods gracing my Instagram feed for years now has been glittering, multicolored churros.</p><p>I'm not planning a trip to Paris, LA, or Orlando any time soon, but luckily many of the Disney parks' recipes are on their own blog — including <a href="https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2020/04/cooking-up-the-magic-create-disneymagicmoments-at-home-with-disney-parks-churro-bites-recipe/" target="_blank">this decadent churro one</a>. So, for now, I've settled for frying up this (surprisingly) easy-to-make batter, rolling the flaky dough in sugar, and biting into the Mexican-inspired pastry as I watch "Coco" for the third time this summer.</p><h3>Ingredients:</h3><p>- 1 cup water</p><p>- 8 tablespoons butter</p><p>- 1/4 teaspoon salt</p><p>- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (divided)</p><p>- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour</p><p>- 3 eggs</p><p>- 1 1/2 cups vegetable or canola oil</p><p>- 1/2 cup sugar</p><p>- 1/2 cup <a href="https://amzn.to/2VYOvNk" target="_blank">edible glitter</a> (not in the original recipe, and optional!)</p><p>- A <a href="https://amzn.to/2ZbT6NO" target="_blank">piping bag</a> (or DIY one with a ziplock bag)</p><p>- <a href="https://amzn.to/3fogHAV" target="_blank">Slotted spoon/spatula</a></p><h3>Instructions:</h3><p>1. Mix water, butt, salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the cinnamon in a saucepan over medium heat. </p><p>2. When it comes to a boil, reduce heat to low.</p><p>3. Stir in flower, slowly. Once it's all in the saucepan, stir rapidly to form a ball.</p><p><div class="js--ga-impression-newsletter-cta-content">

Carefully heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat (I burned my wrist and highly recommend long sleeves, or even gloves. if you're accident-prone like I am).</p><p>6. Place dough into a piping or Ziploc bag (if using the latter, seal the bag and cut off an inch from one corner.</p><p>7. Squeeze out strips of dough into hot oil. You can probably do about 4 to 5 at a time depending on the size of your saucepan allowing for room to fry without them touching each other.</p><p>8. When they turn golden brown, lift each one out with a slotted spoon or spatula and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.</p><p>9. Mix sugar, 1/2 a teaspoon of cinnamon, and (optional) edible glitter into a bowl large enough to allow your hands to dip into them. </p><p>10. While they're still warm enough to absorb the sugar coating, but not too hot to burn you, coat the churros in the sugar mixture. </p><p>11. Place on a serving plate and feel free to add a side of Nutella to dip a bite (or five, or 10) in.</p><p><em>Note: As an Amazon Associate, Odyssey may earn a portion of qualifying sales.</em></p>

These Superfood Beauty Products Show Kale And Matcha Work For SO Much More Than We Thought
Just another summer's day with a cold glass of kombucha on my face.
07 July
I've been vegan for about six years now, so a love for fresh vegetables and superfoods has now become a core part of my being. Don't get me wrong. I love my indulgent, creamy pastas and truffle fries more than anyone. But I keep most of my focus on eating clean and healthy so I can indulge guilt-free.
But I'd say about a large part of my diet has always, unknowingly, included superfoods. Being Indian, lentils, beetroot, garlic, ginger, and whole grains have been core essentials on the family dinner table since I could digest solid foods.
<p>When skincare started coming to the forefront of my teen life problems, the first thing my grandmother suggested was a homemade mask made chickpea flour, honey, turmeric, and yogurt. Most Southeast Asian people reading this will relate to the weekly coconut oil head-massaging sessions our mothers gave us for the thick, lustrous hair we now thank them for.</p><p>The Eastern roots of superfoods have serious results, and if you don't believe me, then trust centuries of people who have relied on them not just for their powers of beautification but for their serious healing powers. It was said even Cleopatra herself bathed in honey and milk as the secret to her luminous skin. </p><p>If superfoods were good enough for the most famous of Egypt's rulers, these modern-day answers are just as good for us:</p><p><div class="powrload_9edb92"></div>

How I Used The Power Of Manifestation To Get Two Internships This Summer
Don't knock it until you try it!
07 July
Now that college is around the corner for most if not all young adults, students once shook by a pandemic now have to shift their focus on achieving their career goals. As if we thought we had it together already! As an NYC girl, I have always seen myself as a hustler, hungry to advance my career in journalism by having one skill: working hard.
<p>But, when the pandemic rocked my world back in March, all of my plans for networking, holding e-board positions, and making a name for myself on campus were dismantled. </p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646359217-content-ad" class="ad"><script>
if(isFeed1x1){
isFeed1x1=false;
googletag.cmd.push(function() {

});
}
</script>
</div></p><p><strong>I have experienced what it's like to be in an abyss of declines. </strong></p><p>It was hard finding an internship so late in the semester, but through the power of manifestation (hold the supercharged crystals and sage) I have secured not one but two internships this summer. </p><h3>Manifestation: My Definition</h3><p>Manifestation to me means conspiring with the universe to create your potential reality. I know, it sounds extra! But it's true, every day you are manifesting things without putting that specific definition onto it. When you anticipate yourself failing a final after studying for one day, when you daydream about the college party happening this upcoming weekend, or when you are scrolling on social media and picture yourself in your favorite celebrity's expensive car. </p><p><strong>It's the things you think about that haven't happened yet. </strong></p><p>Once you realize that, you can manipulate your thinking for your good, attracting good energy and positive vibes into your life.</p><p>When I first began my internship search, I assumed that is was fairly easy to secure a high ranking internship with my "credentials". I had a high GPA, a couple of writing samples, and a decent cover letter/resume. I used tools like Linked In and applied to all the jobs I could find. </p><p>But I had a rude awakening when I realized that everyone around me was doing so much more. I remember a day particularly when one of my friends mentioned that she secured an internship after applying to about 50 a day. </p><p><div class="js--ga-impression-newsletter-cta-content">

</div></p><p><strong>My jaw dropped. I was not on Linked in until the sun came up, and I didn't want to be.</strong></p><h3>Perspective</h3><p>Having a positive mindset is one of the hardest things to do. It's a conscious decision that you have to make every day, especially when you experience a negative thought. This may sound stupid, but so many times when I was vocal about my rejections from my internships I was told I was being negative, but I actually was fearful. I'm not a negative person, and I don't think you are either. </p><p><strong>Most of the time, when you think negatively it's because you are scared and doubtful about the future. </strong></p><p>Once I was rejected by the majority of the internships I had applied to, I began to think or manifest negativity. I automatically assumed they didn't appreciate my talent and I didn't want to apply to anymore. To tell the truth, I was embarrassed. </p><p>I felt slighted that I wasn't chosen, especially seeing my peers and friends on Linked In be accepted into great opportunities. I was worried that I chose the wrong career path, I wasn't the good writer I thought I was, and that I would have to choose a more practical major. </p><p>After you start doing everything right and still get a no, it's only human to start thinking the worst, because you aren't getting rewarded for your positive attitude. The easiest way to have a positive outlook in life is to acknowledge the fear or worry you feel and replace it with something positive. </p><p>For me that was positive affirmations, declarative statements that I would say in my head, write in my journal, or say to myself in the mirror every day. </p><p><strong>When I was rejected from an internship opportunity at Forbes, I was crushed. </strong></p><p>The fear of inadequacy and failure filled up my body like a waterfall, but I acknowledged it and replaced it with <em>you are talented</em>, <em>you are a good writer</em>, <em>you will get an internship</em>. I was literally crying in the mirror and balling up my fists when I received rejection emails when I said those affirmations. They made me feel better because I wasn't just sitting in my fear, but rather expressing that raw real emotion and still beliving (in the face of rejection) for better in the future.</p><p><strong>Once I did that, I realized I didn't feel so heartbroken every time I received a rejection email. </strong></p><p>I would see it say "welp" and open up Linked in and continue to apply to more jobs. I also began to write more articles for my campus magazine and digital sites to build up my writing portfolio for the potential internship that would soon come my way. I knew that writing was my passion and my positive thinking pushed me to continue doing what I loved even though I wasn't being directly validated for it.</p><h3>Communication</h3><p>With journalism falling in the realm of somewhere between writing and media, I have always been a talker. I am very sociable, and I am known for being the loudest/funniest girl in the room. But, when it came to openly express my struggle with getting rejected from internships, struggling to pass class while online, and trying to find a job to support my family at the same time I was hesitant to share. </p><p>Before manifestation, I was a big believer in not troubling other people outside of my family with my problems. Although my family emphasized with my frustration and desire for an internship, they weren't in the position to guide me or provide me with career feedback. If you need help or assistance with something, it is in your best interest to ask. </p><p><strong>You probably have a really good "nothing is wrong with me" face.</strong></p><p>When it comes to achieving your dreams in your specific career, it takes a tribe to get you there. Manifestation works best when you surround yourself with positive people and individuals who are dedicated to helping you become better. I myself had to be candid with my college advisors, deans, and my friends about how I had no leads for a potential internship for the summer. </p><p>Automatically, once I reached out I had friends willing to read over my writing, help me set up my own website to showcase my work, and my college advisors sending me connections they know in the industry looking for interns. In metaphorical terms, me communicating with the people around me about what I needed made the universe in turn give me what I desired.</p><h3>Action</h3><p>In the words of 2015 aggressive Shia LaBeouf: " Just do It!" Once you practice the acts of mental manifestation the only last step is doing the work. I had to manifest my positive thoughts into reality. It wasn't just enough to think positively but not do the physical work to match. </p><p>In order to do this, I had to push myself out of my comfort zone. This is a generic phrase that people use a lot, but what I mean is I did the things in the field of journalism that made me uncomfortable. I would find the managing editor at a magazine and email them for a phone conference on Linked In (just to ask about their career, not a job). </p><p><strong>I used my money to attend seminars hosted by media groups like @blackgirlsinmedia and @thewomansnetwork. </strong></p><p>I created my own podcast to showcase the passion I had for communications and media. I would also make it a point to use the full extent all of the resources I had, including adding a highlight page for my writing on Instagram, a website portfolio even when I had three articles in it, and send a phone conference email to someone at almost every job I was applying to. </p><p><strong>In the beginning, it felt a little excessive and useless.</strong></p><p>But, throughout I realized I was learning so much about the industry, networking with people, and creating pieces of work without an internship. As soon as I stopped believing that getting a journalism internship was the green light to start moving like a writer, I was offered two editorial internships. It felt so unreal like I finally got what I had always wanted. But I realized I didn't get what I wanted, I got what I manifested.</p>

5 BBQ Essentials Every Vegan Should Bring To Avoid Summer Cookout FOMO
You'll have your whole family drooling when you bring these goodies over too.
07 July
All vegetarians and vegans can relate when I say this: summer barbecues aren't fun when there's nothing you can eat.
<p>As a dairy-free vegetarian, when my dad fires up the grill, I am often left to my own devices to whip up something for myself. However, after doing some experimentation myself, I found that there are plenty of great, meatless options for those family cookouts where everything being grilled seems like it came from an animal.</p><p><div id="div-gpt-2646352108-content-ad" class="ad"><script>

<small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="Add Photo Credit..."><a href="https://www.instagram.com/the_tofurky_company/" target="_blank">@the_tofurky_company</a> </small></p><p>Ever since I went vegetarian, Tofurky has been my go-to brand for meatless deli meats that taste so close to the real thing, you won't be missing anything. Their Italian Sausage is so smokey and delicious and I highly recommend grabbing a package to bring along to your next cookout!<br></p><p><br></p><h2>2) Black Bean Burgers</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

<small class="image-media media-photo-credit" placeholder="Add Photo Credit..."><a href="https://www.instagram.com/laislahoboken/" target="_blank">@laislahoboken</a></small></p><p>Burgers are such a summer barbecue staple, for both meat-eaters and plant-based folks alike. As much as I love Beyond Burgers and Impossible Burgers, there is nothing like a classic, black bean burger that is so naturally flavorful and juicy. Sandwich one between two vegan potato buns with some lettuce, avocado, vegan cheese, caramelized onions, and some ketchup, and you won't be craving another patty that just imitates the taste of a beef one.<br></p><p><br></p><h2>3) Mac and Cheese</h2><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-rebelmouse-image">

Coat with your choice of spice, which could be anything from salt and pepper, to garlic powder, to cumin or paprika for a spicy kick (I found chili lime to be a surprisingly tasty seasoning!).

This was most likely a given, and your family probably expected <em>this</em> to be your contribution to the cookout, but hey now, who said summer salads had to be boring? </p><p>You can make a seemingly simple summer salad super delicious and colorful by adding in some fun fresh fruits and vegetables. I also personally love to add in some canned chickpeas for extra protein! Make sure you make a huge bowl, because I guarantee everyone will be vying for a portion on their plate.<br></p>

11 Kourtney Kardashian Moments We'll Keep Up With Even Though She's Saying 'ABCDEFG Goodbye' To The Show
Kourt is DEF not the least exciting to look at.
07 July
Kourtney Kardashian has decided to leave "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" after nearly 14 years and although we saw this coming, it breaks our heart that she won't be there to make us laugh with her infamous attitude and hilarious one-liners.
Kourtney is leaving the show because it was taking up too much of her life and it was a "toxic environment" for her.

We Asked You How You Felt About Resuming 'Normal' Activities, And Some Of Your Answers Shocked Us
The New York Times asked 511 epidemiologists when they'd feel comfortable doing "normal" activities again, considering COVID-19. We asked our peers the same thing, for science.
06 July
Last month, the New York Times surveyed about 500 epidemiologists asking about their comfort level with certain activities once deemed normal — socializing with friends, going to the doctor, bringing in the mail. That's all well and good for the experts, but they are a very niche group, not the majority of the population. What do "normal" people feel safe doing? In certain states, we've seen how comfortable everyone is with everything (looking at you, Florida), but we wanted to know where Odyssey's readers fell on the comfort scale. Are they sticking with the epidemiologists who won't be attending a wedding for another year, or are they storming the sunny beaches as soon as possible?

A lot of respondents have their priorities in order — when asked how soon they'll go to a salon or barber to get their hair cut, 59.1 percent of them plan to get a trim (at the very least) this summer. A lot of people feel comfortable going to public places that are taking the necessary precautions, like making sure seats are cleaned, stylists and clientele are wearing masks, and other guidelines are followed based on local mandates. <br>
</p><blockquote>
"I feel that if the shops are being extra clean and sweeping after each haircut, cleaning their combs & brushes thoroughly, this isn't a problem," Lexi Lock, a student at Troy University said.
</blockquote><p>
For what it's worth, 41 percent of epidemiologists said they'd also get groomed this summer. Fresh tips for all!
</p><p>
Oh, and remember gyms? For most of the country, gyms and fitness studios are in the later phases of reopening, but 34 percent of respondents are ready to go back now, <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/COVIDSurge.html" target="_blank">even as there's another surge in COVID cases across the country</a>. Most said they'd hit the gym again in three to 12 months, and some are even more hesitant to go for at least a year.
</p><blockquote>
"With no guarantee that equipment has been sanitized, I cannot see myself going to a gym for a long time," Marisa DiPaolo, Odyssey's Social Media Manager, said.</blockquote><p>
For the record, <a href="https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/what-activities-put-you-at-risk-during-the-covid-19-pandemic/2501207/?_osource=SocialFlowTwt_NYBrand&__twitter_impression=true" target="_blank">the Texas Medical Association</a> lists gyms as one of the most high-risk settings for coronavirus infection.

People are slowly but surely starting to explore the outside world again, but a lot of people have different opinions about how they're getting to these places. About 40 percent of responders won't even dare to get on public transportation for at least a year, and in fact, nine percent of them never will again. How these folks plan on getting to work? Great question. </p><p>A higher percentage — about 43 percent — are willing to take planes within the next 3 to 12 months, at about 27 percent are comfortable taking them as soon as like, yesterday.
</p><p>
There are still a handful of people, though, who aren't as quick to get back in the air.<br>
</p><blockquote>
"As much as I love traveling, I already know flight attendants weren't doing that much cleaning so it's going to be a few months until I can get back on a plane," said University of Kentucky student Constance Woodard.
</blockquote><p>
Our epidemiology counterparts actually fall pretty closely in line with these opinions. Forty-four percent of them are still likely to wait three to 12 months, and 40 percent of them are waiting that long before riding a subway or bus again. Sure, some of us never have to go into an office again (see <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2020/05/19/after-announcing-twitters-permanent-work-from-home-policy-jack-dorsey-extends-same-courtesy-to-square-employees-this-could-change-the-way-people-work-where-they-live-and-how-much-theyll-be-paid/#302ac8ed614b" target="_blank">Twitter's new remote policy</a>), but <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/22/nyregion/nyc-phase-2-reopening-coronavirus.html" target="_blank">plenty of companies are either already back in the office or planning to return to a "normal" work environment soon</a>, even in coronavirus hot spots like New York City. </p><p>
OK, OK. It's no secret that we're all pretty much over baking bread in our kitchens, much less cooking for ourselves every night. Three meals a day results in a lot of effort and dirty dishes! So does this mean a majority of people are ready to dine in at restaurants again?
</p><p>
Fifty-nine percent of responders said they'd go back to eating out as soon as now, but 16 percent said they're not likely to dine in for at least one year. A majority of the scientific experts surveyed are waiting at least 3 to 12 months to be waited on.
</p><p>
One thing everybody seems to agree on is that we're not seeing a concert, play, or sporting event anytime soon.
</p><blockquote>
"No chance people are all wearing masks and not spitting everywhere while they cheer for their team or sing, so I'm hitting pause on attending sporting events, concerts, and plays for a while," Taylor Mead, Odyssey's Senior Editor of Swoon, said. </blockquote><p>
Do we miss cheering on our favorite teams and eating as many hot dogs (and cheese fries) as possible? You'd better believe it. But with <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/06/23/882641122/baseball-is-coming-back-for-a-pandemic-shortened-2020-season#:~:text=Baseball%20Is%20Coming%20Back%20For%20A%20Pandemic%2DShortened%202020%20Season,-Facebook&text=The%20MLB%20Players%20Association%20made,on%20July%2023%20or%2024." target="_blank">a shortened (and fanless) MLB season</a>, and <a href="https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/28871525/coronavirus-cancellations-reactions-sports" target="_blank">a variety of other methods to keep our athletes in business</a>, we won't be sitting on bleachers anytime soon.
</p><p>As far as concerts and plays are concerned, you have <a href="https://www.theodysseyonline.com/hamilton-movie-disney-plus" target="_blank">"Hamilton" on Disney+</a> and that's about all you can expect there. Good thing the JoBros tour was last year, am I right?
</p><p>
No matter where you are on "normal life," it's clear that we can't just snap our fingers and jet back to the good ole days of un-masked pool parties and weekly manicures. The pandemic as a whole (not the lack of nail appointments) has <a href="https://www.news-medical.net/news/20200608/Worldwide-study-on-physical-and-mental-health-effects-of-Covid-19-is-underway.aspx" target="_blank">taken a toll on individuals' mental and physical wellbeing</a>. The sooner everyone is on the same page, the sooner we'll put this weird time behind us. Then, hopefully, we can all feel comfortable getting back on the city bus and on with our lives.
