Itunes lovin'.

Oh hey,

I've been on a music buying kick lately.
I can't stop.
I guess I could be buying things worse than music though, right?
( I say that mainly to make myself feel better.)

If you've followed my past few posts, you'll know I'm a huge country music junkie. It should come as no surprise to anyone that a couple of the new downloads are, infact, country.
I don't understand why everyone hates on it so much.
Country music is down home, windows down, wind in your hair kind of music. I think we all need to have an open mind. I will listen to literally anything.
If the words are true and the beat is good, what does it matter what genre it is?

The thing is, it doesn't matter if the songs are new or old. If  I can listen to something and not get physcially sick of hearing it ten thousand times, I'll download it. I see it as a personal investment. If it makes me happy, and I genuinely love the song, why not?


PS: I love anything acoustic. Any type of music done acoustically, automatically has my vote.

Anyways..

My past weeks downloads have gone something like this:

- See You When I See You : Jason Aldean

- I Love It : Icona Pop ft Charli XCX

- Dayum Baby: Florida Georgia Line

- I Want Crazy : Hunter Hayes

- 6th Avenue Heartache : The Wallflowers

What are your favorite songs of all time?
Let me know!
Until then,
-K.

The stress test.

Oh hey,

Okay, so like I said earlier I'm a girl. I think we have established that.
If you're like me...(which by the way, if you are, I apologize..) and you're in college, it's almost the end!

I'm about 3 pages away from ripping my hair out, and a month away from finals.
So we know what that means right?

Dear mother nature, thank you for realizing how much I have on my plate, and adding skin flare up's just to stress me out even more.

 I'm 20. We freak out over things like this.
 It's normal. And it's okay. And it's gross. I know.

 I have found something this past week that combats these lovely things that appear on your face the morning   of a presentation. Here it is, and I have to give full credit to DulceCandy87 on 
YouTube for presenting this creation sent straight from god to us combination skin girls.

It's an anti-stress dead sea mineral
facial mask, that I have literally used three times and my skin is completely clear.Yes, you're going to look like a smurf for a little while, but in the end it is totally worth it. There is no redness, no bumps, and no zits! I swear, it's a miracle. My skin is considered combination-oily. Thank you Italian genes.

Okay, so here's what you do...well, what I've been doing.

Squeeze about a quarter sized amount into your hand, one for each side of your face...and spread it evenly over your face. Let it set for about 10 minutes. Continue on doing whatever you were doing, and then it's time to rinse. Here's what I found works really well. I take my Up&Up facial scrub for blemishes and blackheads from target, it's basically the St.Ives apricot scrub, just two dollars cheaper, and use about a dime sized amount to scrub off the mask. I think the combination of these two literally went to war with any blemishes on my face from this past week.

I did this twice a week before I went to sleep. I woke up and saw a total difference in my skin, no joke.

Want to hear the best part?
 This is a drug store item. You can find it at CVS, Walgreens, Ulta, and probably Target and Walmart as well for under $5. I told you it was the best part.

All together the scrub and the mask cost about $7. Total score.
I can't talk for all skin types, because like I said I only have one type.

Let me know if you try it!
Until then,
-K.
