5 Essential Oils For Beginners That Will Kickstart Your Obsession

In This Article:

Essential oils are oils that come from flowers and parts of plants. They can be used in different ways, such as aromatherapy and topical use, and have several different purposes. There are many commonly used essential oils and others that are not as popular. My top essential oils are the ones that I personally feel have the greatest impact.

Everyone is different, so I recommend trying to do some research to find out which ones are best for you.

1. Lavender

Lavender is commonly used for relaxation and to improve your quality of sleep. It even comes in sprays so that you can spray it on your bed before going to sleep.

2. Tea Tree

Tea tree oil has a very distinct smell and is a little hack for treating blemishes as well.

3. Sandalwood

Another very distinct smelling essential oil. Sandalwood can act as a natural anti-inflammatory and also helps with mental clarity and relaxation.

4. Eucalyptus

This commonly used essential oil can help clear congestion and colds. It is usually used in aromatherapy.

5. Rose

This essential oil is also commonly used in aromatherapy. It is said to help with anxiety, migraines and more.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
