Hello and welcome to my current skincare routine! These are the different products I've been varying and each day/night I use any combination of them to achieve the skin I want. My skin type is a combination of oily, so from all that I've tested, it's what works best for me and what I would recommend to someone of a similar skin type.

FACE WIPES

I've been trying to expand my horizons from affordable, but not the staple Neutrogena in the face wipe realm. These are what I've found as a result. They all leave your face feeling clean, without the unnecessary oily residue.

Garnier SkinActive Micellar Original Cleansing Wipes

Garnier SkinActive Clean + Purifying Oil-Free Cleansing Wipes

Rose Water Cleansing Wipes

FACE WASH


Depending on how much makeup I have on, I will use one of these to cleanse my face. If I am wearing little to no makeup, I'll use the Micellar Water to take off any excess gunk. If I have on makeup or feel the need to clean my face more than usual, I'll use the Cleansing Complex, which is great for oily/acne prone skin.

TONER

This stuff is my saving grace. The toner/astringent is what makes my skin feel really clean and balances any oils that could be left on my face.

Face & Body Witch Hazel Astringent

Sea Breeze Sensitive Skin Astringent

SERUM

Despite what you may think, using a serum, even when having oily skin will not make you very oily. In fact, overproduction of natural oil could be a result of dehydration. These both make my skin feel very nourished and glowy and last all day.

La Mer The Renewal Oil

Drunk Elephant C-Firma Day Serum

MOISTURIZER


If you don't use anything else on your face, at least moisturize- multiple times a day. Depending on how my skin acts, I'll use one of these three. The aloe is very hydrating, as it is a gel consistency, and gives my skin a satin finish. The Embryolisse is thick and luxurious, yet light and feminine. The Glam Glow is nice for when I want to have a no makeup day, but not look like I haven't slept in 48 hours. It smells so good and gives me an obvious glow, seen by the name and the color.

Aloe Vera Gel

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré

Glam Glow GLOWSTARTER Mega Illuminating Moisturizer

EYE CREAM

 

I gravitate between these two and still can't seem to choose a favorite. They both have a salmon color, to allude from the fact that you have dark black holes behind them and last for hours.

Origins GinZing Refreshing Eye Cream

First Aid Beauty Eye Duty Triple Remedy: Brighten, Depuff and Smooth

LIP MOISTURIZER

Not that this is something that actually exists, but it's the term I'm going to use. My lips aren't naturally dry or cracked, but I still hate going to bed with that lack of moisture feeling. After I'm done with the rest of my skin, I'll put one of these bad boys on and wake up with soft, moisturized lips.

Vitamin E Stick

Dior Addict Lip Glow

Smith's Rosebud Salve Tube

The reason I always keep a variety of skin care to choose from is because it's important not to get stuck in too much of a routine with your products. Your skin may have different needs depending on how it acts day to day and if it gets used to certain products, it will become just as bored as you. Switching up your routine and trying new staples is part of the fun, which you will notice as your collection starts to grow. Hopefully, these babies work as well for you as they have me.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
