Products That Drastically Improved My 2021 Skincare Routine

In This Article:

Now that the dreadful year of 2020 is over, 2021 is ringing in new habits and new beauty routines. This year, I am dedicated to trying new products to improve my overall health and glow. So far, these are my favorites, that have not only boosted my confidence, but my radiance as well.

Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (Amazon $16.75)

Laneige has truly outdone themselves with this revitalizing nighttime lip mask. The balm texture and berry scent softens the lips and soaks in overnight to rejuvenate and rehydrate. In the packaging, there is a small application tool and the 20 ounce jar of the product. I usually apply a thin layer to both my bottom and upper lip. In the morning, my lips are left feeling supple and healthy. So far I have noticed a reduction in flakiness and cracking on my lips. With 4.7 out of 5 stars on Amazon, this product is well worth the price.

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA (Amazon $14.75)

This face moisturizer truly gets the job done. Before I found this product, my face would periodically break out into red spots and acne, and would also be left feeling tight and dry after a shower. After watching a few TikToks by "skincarebyhyram" I came across this moisturizer. Following a shower, I apply a generous layer of this product to my dry face and rub it in until the cream absorbs into my skin. My skin is left feeling hydrated and smooth. My breakouts have reduced significantly and I would highly recommend using The Ordinary for anyone who also suffers from sensitive skin.

BENTON Snail Bee High Content Skin Toner (Amazon $16.00)

Once again, TikTok star "skincarebyhyram" advised me to step away from witch hazel and use something more gentle on my delicate skin. He recommended this toner and I have to say, I would never use another toner again. I pump one squirt of this product into my hands and then rub it all over my face. I have noticed that my skin tones are more even looking and balanced. I also apply this product once I've cleansed my face in the shower, along with The Ordinary moisturizer listed above. This product is liquid magic and great for all skin types.

With these three products, my nighttime routine has changed drastically for the better. I feel refreshed and beautiful. I would highly recommend really nailing down your perfect skincare routine to add a little self-care into your life. These products have already improved my 2021 significantly.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

Why I Love Being Single (And You Should, Too)

Dedicated to February 14

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

The 12 astrological signs all fall under one of four elements: air, water, earth, or fire. Air signs are rational, social, and love to communicate with others. Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

Each sign is determined by the relative positions of celestial bodies to ourselves at our moment of birth, which is said to influence our personalities. Find your zodiac GIF below, based on the traits and characteristics provided by each sign.
