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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
