Summer Lips

Summer is rearing its sweltering head and one of the first effects it has on me is dry lips. Lately, my normal day-to-day lip balm (Maybelline Baby Lips) just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Instead of buying and trying out a new lip balm, I opted for

#Quoteivation: “Put yourself out there with no apologies.”

Don’t be afraid to show your talent, your skills, your personality. And don’t apologize for them. Don’t mind the reactions of other people. What matters is you’re being yourself without harming others.

When things are going downhill, always be calm. You'll be better for it.

Comfy Shoes

I went out today intending to buy some new comfy shoes. I needed something closed with soft soles since I walk a lot between classes and wearing open-toed sandals leaves me with grimy feet at the end of the day.

Problem is, I have a hard time finding closed shoes because of my tendency to have ingrown toenails. The only closed shoes that I have right now are boots that have roomy toes but hard soles.

Some months ago, I started experiencing cystic acne. That was a first for me since I usually just have normal pimples, especially when it’s nearing my time of the month. If you don’t know, cystic acne is when the spot is deep under the skin, causing a large bump that’s highly uncomfortable, if not painful.

I tried my usual spot treatments (tea tree oil and VMV Red Better Spot Treatment) but they did little. I knew that it’s recommended to go to a dermatologist for cystic acne, but with my student budget, that was quite implausible. So I changed my skincare and spot treatment in an attempt to improve my face even a little. Nothing worked the way I wanted it to.

Aqua Massage Cellulose Sponge

If you have sensitive skin, you know how hard it is to find an effective daily loofah that both does its job and does not irritate your skin, That’s why my advice is to use cellulose sponges instead of the hard and rough loofah usually found in stores.

#Quoteivation: Trust that what you’re doing will mean something.

There are times when you choose something to do, maybe a college course or a job, and at first it seems like it was a good choice, a wise choice. But then people tell you you made a mistake in choosing what you chose. Day in and day out, they’ll tell you what you’re doing is a waste of time.
