It is now officially spring, and while that definitely calls for spring cleaning, make sure to take time to refresh your makeup routine as well. It's a new season, and what worked for your skin during the cold winter may not work so well in the warm springtime.

1. Moisturizer

When winter made your skin dry and flakey, a heavy face cream was the ultimate fix. Now, it's just going to overload your skin and make you oily. Replace it with a gel-based moisturizer! They're designed to keep oils at bay - an essential during the warm seasons. Search for one with SPF while you're at it!

2. Foundation

Heavy-duty foundations look great in the winter, but against spring's sunny rays, it can look cakey and start to crease. Switching out your high-coverage matte foundation for a more lightweight, dewy finish one brings a healthy glow to your face - without even having to get tan.

3. Bronzer, Blush, and Highlight

While powder bronzers and blushes are great, cream or liquid products are infinitely better suited for Spring and Summer. They blend much better into the skin and look far more natural, giving you a bronzed and highlighted glow without looking heavy.

4. Mascara

It's self-explanatory ; spring = sun = beach = swimming. A waterproof mascara is a good investment to make to avoid raccoon face while you're near the water.

5. Setting spray

If you have an oily skin-type, then a mattifying setting spray will be your savior during this time. I find that when it's hot out, my makeup tends to slide more and get oily looking. Matte-finish sprays will lock in your products and prevent oils from appearing.

It can be tedious to replace your current products, but it's important to update your makeup routine to match a new season's climate!

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.
