Your skin will definitely thank you for trying these easy skin care ideas.

1. Clean your makeup brushes with vinegar.

Use a tablespoon (or two) of warmed up white vinegar in a cup of hot water. Let your brushes sit in it for 20 minutes. Then Rinse each of them in hot water then cold. It gets all the makeup out and gets most of the bacteria out of them.

2. Use activated charcoal powder as a natural teeth whitener.

You just wet your toothbrush and and dip it in. I use a different toothbrush for this and do it every other night. I brush with it for 5 minutes.Then I use my WaterPik (water flosser) to get all the plaque and charcoal out of my mouth. Next I just brush my teeth with normal toothpaste and my other toothbrush.

3. Do weekly steam facials.

You can do this two ways:

Boil a pot of water and put your face over it with a towel covering you, so the steam won't escape. You can also add essential oils that benefit your skin.

Or, you can purchase a face steamer. Here's a link for the one I got on Amazon. These just save some time on waiting for the water to warm up and these shoot out steam directly on your face. You still need a towel over your head for this one.

Sit there for 10-15 minutes.

4. Use Biore strips.

After you're done with your steam facial, put Biore strips on your face. Then you let those sit for 10-15 minutes, or until dry. These get blackheads, dead skin, and dirt out of your pores.

5. Replace your usual mask with the Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask.

Mix some of the clay powder in a bowl with apple cider vinegar for better results. This mask makes your face very tight when it dries, but leaves it so so so soft once you've washed it all off. This is my favorite clay mask ever. You can also use it on your chest and back.

6. Soak your feet in epsom salt.

I fill my foot bath with hot water, four scoops of Epsom salt, and a few drops of lavender essential oil. This makes my feet so soft and takes the soreness away from my feet.

7. Love your hair and give it a hair mask.

There are millions of hair masks and hair mask recipes on Pinterest. I use a spoon of castor oil and coconut oil and mix it together, and microwave it for 30 seconds. Massage it into your scalp and put a shower cap over your hair and leave it in for 4-7 hours. Then you wash it out. This promotes strengthening and growing hair.

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

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

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.
