10 Skin Care Products That Have Saved My Life & My Face

If you are anything like me (and I hope you're not), you may push your face to its limits. And by limits, I mean putting a crap ton of stuff on your face and then never replenishing your skin after. You may not wash your makeup off before bed. You may forget to use toner and moisturizer. You probably own a million masks that have become crusty because you forget to use them. You are supposed to wash and moisturize at least twice a day, but you know that is too much pressure of commitment and you aren't about that life. You might be proud of yourself for showering at all. And you may just happy the skin on your face hasn't left you for a more appreciative human being. This article goes out to the skin care products that save my skin from the pain I inflict on it frequently.

1. My queen: Clinique Facial Soap. Thank you for cleansing away all junk I splatter on my face. You are the real MVP.

2. My King: The Clinique Clarifying Lotion. Don't let the name confuse you though, its actually a toner. But I can always appreciate a bit of mystery.

3. The Goddess: Kate Somerville: Goat Milk Moisturizing Cream. This was a recent discovery. Thank you Sephora for giving me that free sample. Also, how dare you Sephora, because now I am addicted. It is the perfect combination of creamy and light which is perfect for combination skin.

4. The Purifier: Philosophy's Purity Made Simple One- Step Facial Cleanser. I use this bad boy to get off the excessive amount of mascara used to bring my lashes back from the dead. Purity can get pretty much anything off.

5. The Angel, or should I say Dark Angel: Lush's Dark Angels Face and Body Cleanser. This product is amazing for deep exfoliation and to unclog my tortured pours.

6.The Electrifier: Clarisonic's Mia 1 Skin Cleansing System. Now I know there are also newer versions of this product but this girl has been great to me and I will forever be a loyal servant.

7. The Green Machine: Lush's Mask of Magnaminty. Discovered this gem back in high school when I randomly walked into what looked like a soap store in Covent Gardens. Oh, to be young and naive again. Now, I am one of Lush's and this face masks loyal wench.

8. The Radiant: Formula 10.0.6's Get Your Glow On. This wizard has the powers to pull away all of your gunky skin cells, to reveal the baby face beneath.

9. The Vacuum : The Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask. I call this the vacuum because it sucks the lives our of my pours in the best way.

10. The Newbie: Masqueology Collagen Hydro Gel Gold Mask. Now, this was a recent Walmart discovery. I know that there are better versions of this out there but this is SO reasonably priced and leaves your face feeling like it a baby's bum.

Finally, a huge shout out to all the faces out there who continue to put up with us mere humans. We don't deserve you and you are sure to let us know that in the form of revenge pimples.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
