My spontaneous trip to Lush one day is the reason why my acne has finally cleared, thus reducing those pesky acne scars. After dealing with acne for some years now, I have gone through so many products and treatments (whether harsh or light), and nothing has worked until I tried these products from Lush…

There are so many skin care companies and products out there, however, as a facial cleanser nothing had reacted well with my skin. Even if the cleanser did not irritate my skin, it did not help clear my acne, and that is the one thing I need out of a product.

Let the Good Times Roll is my holy grail. After at least one week of using the facial (and body) cleanser, my skin felt nourished and super clean. As the label states, “Buff skin to softness with our sweet, balancing maize flour and corn oil cleanser.” Lush definitely carries this statement out to be true.

Most exfoliators out there can damage the skin if used too rough. However, the maize flour and corn oil face and body cleanser purifies my skin and gets rid of all impurities better than leading brands. This one Lush product lightly yet deeply enough buffed my skin back giving me smooth soft skin.

I have had a hard time finding a moisturizer that actually keeps my skin supple and nourished without clogging my pores. Some end up being ways to heavy making it feel actually disgusting, or some just end up breaking me out horribly. Well, do I have a solution for that!

My skin tends to be dry and oily (combination skin) and Imperialis is the absolute perfect product to fix this. The label reads, “An orange blossom cream that’s perfect to balance out-of-sorts skin” and the moisturizer does exactly that. Although it can take about two days to feel your skin completely balanced, it is worth it.

I use it two times a day, once in the morning and once before bed, both times after I wash my face using the cleanser. I love this product, however, I have my eyes set on Vanishing Creamafter this second container of Imperialis runs out!

Although I have just run out, Mask of Magnaminty,was the first face mask I bought from Lush and it was the best decision I had ever made. It cleaned deep into my pores and after ever use I felt my skin become so light.

“We add loads of ground aduki beans to exfoliate flaky or dry skin, vanilla absolute to calm redness and honey to soothe and moisturize.” It is the complete all in one for me.

Also, who would not love the minty smell it gives off? I keep the mask on for usually a little around 15 minutes and until it has dried. After I wash it off with warm water, I know my skin is thanking me!

These products listed above are ones that suited my skin. In other words, it might not work for you 100 percent but I definitely recommend trying them because they seriously did save my skin. Although these are three products I absolutely adore, there will be a post about the ones I am really not a huge a fan of...

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
