Everyone has to take care of their skin whether they have acne or not, and I have always been obsessed with my skin and methods of taking care of it. Korean skin care has always interested me as well as the natural ingredient movement. However, over time I've figured out what's right for me and I'm still tweaking it. Here products that I love to use:

Basic Routine (Morning and Night)

1) Lush's Herbalism

I know Lush is pretty pricey, however herbalism is like magic in a 3.5oz container. It's a daily cleanser that is made from ground almonds and Kaolin, it also exfoliates (thanks to the ground almonds), and it can be used every day. Bonus: for you vegans out there it's vegan.

This goes first in my routine to brush off the dirt and grime from a long day or sleep.

It goes for $16.96-41.95 online, however price vary in stores as well as sizes.

2) Lush’s Fresh Farmacy

This soap is for sensitive skin and can also be used every day, I used it after or before herbalism to get that quick deep cleanse. It’s combination of calamine and tea tree oil can help with acne prone skin and oily skin. It also makes your skin feel like an angel’s bottom. Bonus: also, vegan.

It goes for $11.95 for 3.5 oz online, prices vary in stores.

3) Rose Water and Glycerin

This is literally crack for your skin. After you’ve finished drying your face you can spritz this once or twice for a fresh finish, no need for heavy moisturizing lotions that clog your pores this moisturizes and hydrates your face naturally. It also works as a cooling spray also and lasts for a while at a really cheap price.

Rose water also has a ton of other listed uses, so it's best to keep it on hand.

You can find it on Amazon for $9.68

Finish off with your favorite sunscreen for the morning.

Routine when I’m having a bad skin day

I start off by using either Herbalism or Fresh Farmacy, and then I use one of my various masks. I’m just going to list both of them.

4) Lush’s Mask of Magnaminty


This double-threat cleanser/exfoliant is incredibly soothing and minty, it can sooth any flare up and further exfoliates, just wash off after 5-10 minutes so it doesn’t feel caky. It’s very gentle on skin and can be used every day.

It goes for $14.95- 28.95 online, but also varies in store.

5) Organik Botanik Australian Charcoal facial mask

This non-abrasive charcoal mask also does a great job soothing, hydrating, and detoxing, shouldn’t be used every day because of the charcoal in it. However after 5-10 minutes just wash it off with warm water.

Goes for $14.95 online, but I actually found it in store as lucky find.

Finish with Rosewater.

I bought these all in increments, so don't go spending all at once!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
