What To Use When Your Skin Is Allergic To Everything
IDI NEWS

I give props to anyone who has had to deal with the awful effects of sensitive skin. Having eczema and psoriasis caused nothing but skin problems. Products that overuse alcohol, talc powder or any harsh chemicals are off limits. With the rise of natural and organic products, it has become easier to find remedies for common problems.

Here is a list of miracle natural products that have saved my skin, face and hair.

Coconut Oil

If you have not jumped on the coconut oil bandwagon: you should! It is a miracle oil for a number of common issues, like dry skin and acne. You can bake with it, eat it and add it to your beauty regimen. I use it to wash my face, facials, teeth whitening, deep conditioning my hair and scalp, shaving and the list goes on.

Tea Tree Oil

When my skin is a hot mess and I need a fast spot treatment this is my go to. You can use it in many different facial treatments and throw it in your shampoo for a deep clean.

Honey

Honey is an antibacterial, calming agent that can be used for so many things. A lot of people use it in their hair after harsh chemicals. I personally mix it with cinnamon and nutmeg to make a facial that calms down my acne. It can even get rid of stubborn blackheads and reduce pore size

Charcoal

This one you have to be careful with. It is a strong cleanser that can lift impurities off of your skin but should only be used once in a while. Sometimes charcoal is so good at cleansing that it can be over-drying. But it is perfect for when you need that deep clean without the chemicals.

Lemon Juice

This natural detox can be used for many common problems. Even just by throwing some into your water at work or the gym, it's the perfect detox. It can also be used to spot treat and lighten hair.

Apple Cider Vinegar

This was the holy grail before coconut oil. Some people even use it to wash their hair because it doesn't have all the additives that shampoo does. By taking it internally you can detox the body because it cures common ailments like yeast infections, constipation and clears sinuses. It can remove buildup in your hair, acne and dry skin. You name it, there's a natural remedy.

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.
