Homemade Beauty... Aspirin Mask

Because Aspirin is used as an anti-inflammatory, it can also be used to reduce redness on the skin. Bonus? It can also reduce pimple size and rid your face of black heads!

You Will Need:

5-8 Crushed Uncoated Aspirin
A few drops of water

Directions:
Add only enough water to make a paste. Smooth over the skin and leave on up to 15 minutes. You can use up to twice a week but overuse can irritate, dull, or dry out your skin.

Nadine West: Fourth Shipment

So this wasn't the most successful shipment ever, but I still got one nice piece out of it! And they left me a sweet surprise which I'll tell you about at the end, so I wasn't upset at all! This is actually two items from my shipment! This outfit contains both the shirt and leggings from this month, and they kind of go together! Though I really liked the pattern of the leggings, they are much more like tights. They were totally see through, which made me pretty sad. If they were marketed as tights then I wouldn't be too disappointed, but these were called Leggings. They retailed for $14.49, and I didn't keep them. The shirt fit very well and was extremely comfy. I have been looking for a shirt this color, so I was pretty excited to see it in my bag, even though it is pretty basic. This shirt also retailed for $14.49, and I did elect to keep it! These are the "Beauty Within" earrings, and I'm actually pretty sure I rece...

College Countdown: Basic College Packing List

In this list I'm not going to go over every single thing. Throughout this week I will do separate posts on Clothing and Makeup etc. On Saturday of this week I will post a concise version of this including everything mentioned. For now I would just like to go over basics such as kitchen items, "school supplies" and other items you may not have thought of! Kitchen These are basics that you might need if you are in a dorm and do not necessarily have a kitchen. I will have a sink, so it will be doable for me to wash dishes as needed. If you do not have a sink you might consider buying disposable silverware and dishes so you won't have to wash them in the bathroom. Plastic Bowls Plastic Cups Tumblers or Reusable Water Bottles - I recommend this regardless of if you have a sink. Brita Pitcher - The water will probably be different from what you are used to, and this will make the transition easier Ice Cube Trays Plastic Ice Cubes - If the water is jus...
