How to Greenify Your Personal Care Routine
We all know that a healthy mind and body is equal parts what you put in and what you don't. But did you know this concept extends to much more than just the products you eat and drink? In the post-industrialized era, synthetic compounds became much cheaper to produce and use than natural ones, thus many of our common household items actually contain harmful ingredients, hidden in plain sight. This is no more evident than in our hygiene products—products designed to clean, purify, and detoxify are often doing everything but.

Think about buying these things next time you're at Walmart.

How to Wear Glitter Eyeliner
Glitter eyeliner—it's one of those products that, when pulled off well, can make people go "WOW!" When done up incorrectly, glitter eyeliner looks like the work of a cringe-inducing teenager who couldn't quite get their prom look to do well by them.

How to Make a Powdered Eyeshadow Stick
Eye makeup can be the biggest hassle. With having to clean eyeshadow brushes, falling glitter, and other hazards of the powder eyeshadow, it’s no wonder so many people are turning to eyeshadow sticks instead. It should be no surprise, though, that these can be expensive, and many makeup lovers are loathe to throw out their old powder eyeshadows, even once they’re broken up or never used. Luckily, it’s actually incredibly easy to create your own powder stick out of whatever eyeshadow you like, creating the perfect eyeshadows for your eye color by your own means. This not only gives you an eyeshadow that stays on better and is easier to apply, it also gives you the opportunity to perfect your color preferences, and to make a product that’s easy to use on the go—something that eyeshadow powder in its compact form is definitely not.

11 Ways to Say "No" to Makeup
Disclaimer: You burn your money however you want to boo. This is for those people who know they live on a budget, but still cannot help themselves, or those who want to be wise and conscious customers (notwithstanding that they can afford it) who do not want to burden the environment with waste. I do not take responsibility for your hurt sentiments, except to say it is unintentional. Being sensitive about materialism (unless given by a loved one) is completely illogical and beneath us.

How I Cleared My Skin
The summer before freshmen year, I began to breakout. I was extremely self conscious about it and it seemed like everyone around me had perfect skin. My mom took me to see a dermatologist and she had me try different topicals and washes but I was allergic to mostly everything. I tried to fix my skin on my own for a year and during that I tried absolutely everything and learned a ton. I was obsessed with skin care and continue to learn about it.
