I give props to anyone who has had to deal with the awful effects of sensitive skin. Having eczema and psoriasis caused nothing but skin problems. Products that overuse alcohol, talc powder or any harsh chemicals are off limits. With the rise of natural and organic products, it has become easier to find remedies for common problems.

Here is a list of miracle natural products that have saved my skin, face and hair.

Coconut Oil

If you have not jumped on the coconut oil bandwagon: you should! It is a miracle oil for a number of common issues, like dry skin and acne. You can bake with it, eat it and add it to your beauty regimen. I use it to wash my face, facials, teeth whitening, deep conditioning my hair and scalp, shaving and the list goes on.

Tea Tree Oil

When my skin is a hot mess and I need a fast spot treatment this is my go to. You can use it in many different facial treatments and throw it in your shampoo for a deep clean.

Honey

Honey is an antibacterial, calming agent that can be used for so many things. A lot of people use it in their hair after harsh chemicals. I personally mix it with cinnamon and nutmeg to make a facial that calms down my acne. It can even get rid of stubborn blackheads and reduce pore size

Charcoal

This one you have to be careful with. It is a strong cleanser that can lift impurities off of your skin but should only be used once in a while. Sometimes charcoal is so good at cleansing that it can be over-drying. But it is perfect for when you need that deep clean without the chemicals.

Lemon Juice

This natural detox can be used for many common problems. Even just by throwing some into your water at work or the gym, it's the perfect detox. It can also be used to spot treat and lighten hair.

Apple Cider Vinegar

This was the holy grail before coconut oil. Some people even use it to wash their hair because it doesn't have all the additives that shampoo does. By taking it internally you can detox the body because it cures common ailments like yeast infections, constipation and clears sinuses. It can remove buildup in your hair, acne and dry skin. You name it, there's a natural remedy.

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

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.
