The best oils for skin and hair — by Unknown on

 Instead of going out and buying expensive skin and hair care products, try out these natural oils. Each of them are multipurpose and work wonders!

1.       Argon Oil

My absolute favorite natural oil at the moment. It is the best oil to use for split ends. Take only a few drops and run through your ends while your hair is damp. Blow dry and prepare to be amazed. It’ll look like you got a fresh cut. Argon oil is also great as a moisturizer. Use it alone or mix it in with your daily lotion. It’s light enough to wear under make up!

Other fun facts:

·         Anti-aging properties

·         Great fix for dry skin

·         Acne (reduces inflammation)

·         Healing irritated skin

·         Stretch marks

·         Cuticle treatment

2.       Vitamin E oil

Vitamin E oil is great for hair growth. Rub it on your scalp a few times a week and you won’t be disappointed with the results. Vitamin E helps with circulation. It is also great for fading scars; use at night alone or with a night cream. It’s also great for severely chapped lips.

Other fun facts:

·         Contains antioxidants

·         Heals damaged hair

·         Vitamin E supplements are great for the immune system

3.       Coconut oil

This is a true beauty savior. Coconut oil is great nighttime moisturizer. I use it alone all over my face and lips. I also like to take a scoop and mix with sugar for an amazing face scrub. Coconut oil is also great for hair masks, especially for naturally curly hair.

Other fun facts:

·         Great for your heart and preventing heart disease and high blood pressure

·         Massage oil/ personal lubricant

·         Helps with digestion

·         Healing infections

·         Cooking

*consult a doctor before using internally*

Where can I find these oils?

I order the coconut and argon oil online at Puritan’s Pride, or you can check your local organic health food store.

Vitamin E you can find at any major drugstore.

Thank you for reading!

How to save $$$ on books — by Unknown on

Spring semester is here! And new classes = more expensive textbooks L

Here are a few ways you can save!

1.       Utilize your school’s library

A lot of college students seem to overlook the library. Yeah it’s a great place to get homework and studying done but it’s also a gold mine for books. You never know, the library might have your text book hidden away on its shelves. Ask your librarian to see if they have it! If the library is a no go…

2.       Share

If you have a buddy in the class, split the cost of the text book. Depending on your school’s policies for photocopying, you can photocopy the pages you need for homework. It’s a great way to save money, but if you hate the idea of sharing…

3.       Rent if you can!

Renting is a whole world cheaper than owning the text book. This is great for classes that don’t necessarily pertain to your major (my liberal arts school folk!). You can rent a $200 book for only $40. Your school’s book store should have this option or try Amazon.com! But if you don’t want to rent…

4.       AMAZON!

I love Amazon.com for buying literally anything. And as a student, if you sign up with your school email, you can get 6 months free of Amazon prime (yay 2 day shipping!). You can not only rent from Amazon, but you can find your text books new or used. Another great thing is you can download e-books to your kindle or kindle app. This is great if you are in a bind and need a book ASAP. If Amazon doesn’t have what you need…

5.       Chegg

Not only do you receive a free Redbull with your order, but you can save 80% off of rentals and 90% off of used books. That’s way too good to turn down!

If you have any tips for saving money on books, leave a comment below!

Thanks for reading!

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mell ? Is it True? — by Unknown on

Looking at Nicki's instagram, the two look more than just friends.

I mean I'm not mad if that is the case, but really Nicki, Meek Mill out of all?

I believe she can do way better, but hey it's not about looks.

Maybe he is really down to earth, maybe he's not like his lyrics.

 (Meek Mill kissing Nicki's Cheek )

Or maybe this can be a publicity thing for more music, who knows. I have to be happy for Nicki because I love her. But this one decision she has made has my mind all confused.

I'm not even sure what else to say other than I'm happy for them, if this is the case.
What do you guys think?
Can she do better?
