Today was just one of those horrible days, where one bad thing turned into another. 
I just find myself asking a lot "when will things get better?" I know I am much more fortunate than many many people in this world, but that does not meaning my suffering does not matter. I have to see there will always be people that are less than you, but there was always be those with more too; whether it be money, weight, jobs, relationships, circumstances, etc. You may not be in the worst position in the world but that does not mean you do not have the right to ask "why?" as there will always be things that happen to make you ask it.

Nothing really makes me feel any better, especially when my fiance does not get home from work until 1am and I have a boatload of homework to do (which I should be doing right now. My teachers will understand right?) , but since I started writing a post last night and hadn't finished it so I figured with a little help from Teen Mom (so bad, yet so good) and this song.

 So my original post was going to be about this article that I read on Fig and Sage about how amazing oils are for your skin. Read Post Here
I have really been wanting to start using oils on my skin, but I haven't really known where to start. I have really oily and acne prone skin. My acne has been pretty in control thanks to  
and Naturalia Acne Moisturizer, but I still have a lot of scarring and a lot of oil. 
I have tried olive oil and jojoba oil which are usually recommended without being too impressed. I have heard that argan oil, neem oil, and castor oil are all supposed to be wonderful but have not heard any personal testimonials.

Anybody have an idea of what kind of oil I should try?

Hello everyone reading this! Welcome to my new blog.


So this is my blog, where I would like to share thoughts, ideas, pictures, quotes, information, pretty much anything and everything happening that I may think relevant.
(whether it is relevant or not is questionable so don't hold me to this) 

 So the main reason I am doing this blog is I am tired. I am tired of feeling like nothing I do matters, like the things I want to say are not interesting enough to be heard so I don't say them at all. I'm tired of worrying I will get to the end of my life and not remember all the important little things that really matter. I can and have easily gone through a year of my life without remembering a thing about it.
(I wish I was kidding)
I figured that if I have a blog, something to look back on and remember, and maybe if I get some wonderful readers to check it occasionally (I will get on my knees and beg for readers if I must! Please! I have cupcakes!) that will hold me accountable for keeping up with this and force me not to hold my whole life in. I need something to be my salvation, my antidote to life and this is it. And I will hold a disclaimer that I will be completely honest about things. I'm tired of lying to myself, and it is too exhausting to do it with everyone else.


Now that you know I am completely insane. A little about me;
I am a full time college student studying arts, I also work full time at a health food store, and I am engaged to a very wonderful man. I really love to read, and decorate and I am am trying to get into a very eco-friendly lifestyle. I have been a vegetarian for almost a decade, and I was diagnosed a celiac even longer ago  (aka all gluten-free diet for me. Yipee! *sarcasm*), so I am pretty health conscious. I enjoy cooking, and taking long walks at night with my fiance, candles, and hopefully soon I will enjoy the rest of my life too.  We all deserve the chance enjoy life to the fullest, don't we?
