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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
