Ah, summer. The time of many great things, lounging poolside, warm weather, and of course no school. However, as great as summer is, there is one major downside all those pesky bugs that won't stop biting you! If you're like me, you seem to be a homing beacon for every sort of blood-sucking insect you can think of leaving you itching and miserable. There are many different remedies that one can try, but one stands out amongst the rest… lavender oil!

Lavender oil is almost magic when applied to mosquito bites. I'm allergic to those bites, and so mine don't just itch, they hurt. Sure baking soda paste or clear nail polish stop the itching, but not the pain. That's where the lavender oil comes in. Apply the oil directly to the bite for instant relief of both itching and pain from bug bites! Have so many bites you don't want to apply oil everywhere to? Simple! Just run a bath and add in a good bit of lavender oil and mix it up. Viola! Instant relief for all those horrible bug bites. Now go forth and enjoy your summer itch-free!

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
