Lately I've been noticing that more and more people are starting to wear the ever popular, purity ring! Purity rings are an awesome way to show others your commitment to wait to have sex until the day that you enter into a holy, bible based marriage. This is one thing that I strongly support and believe in. It's also something that everyone should think about and consider. There are so many horrible things that can happen if you don't wait until you get married and I just don't think that it's worth it. Waiting is definitely important. I also know that some of you reading this might have already had sex before marriage and I'm not here to condemn you for that. Is it wrong? Yes. But will God forgive you? Yes, as long as you ask with a sincere and repentant heart, striving to do what is right. God really does love you and when he said no to have sex before marriage, he didn't say it without a reason. He said it to protect you. Just trust me on this, It's one of the best decisions you could ever make. Plus, your future husband will definitely respect you for it. I promise you that you won't regret it.

Purity Rings come in all shapes and sizes. I got mine from Mardel's. I'd definitely recommend the True Love Waits Purity Ring.

Mask Your Face

Have you been breaking out a lot lately? Are you wondering why your skin likes to break out so much? Well, one reason could be the level of dead skin cells that you accumulate on your face. This is especially true during the teenage years when the level of skin cell shedding is at it's highest. The dead skin cells tend to stick together, once they've been shed, which can easily clog pores and lead to breakouts. A lot of things can help regulate this problem like always wearing a moisturizer. Another thing I've found to be helpful is a homemade facial mask that I discovered quite some time ago. This facial mask really moisturizes and exfoliates the face while removing dead skin cells in the process. Using this recipe will leave your face silky smooth and even add a natural glow. Here's the recipe:

Oatmeal and Yogurt Facial Mask

Ingredients:

•  3 tablespoons of plain white yogurt
• 1 tablespoon of dry oats

Instructions:

1. Take a small sized bowl and a spoon and mix both the yogurt and oats together until you get an even consistency.
2. Once you're done with the mixing just take about a scoopful and start spreading the paste onto your face until your whole face is covered. You might want to pull your hair back before starting this process.
3. Now that your face is covered completely wait like that for about 15 minutes and then you're done! Just take a washcloth and wash it all off.

And there you have it! I really like this face mask a lot...The only con that I can think of is that when you first put it on the oatmeal and yogurt kind of sting and make your face tingly. I actually liked the feeling but that might just be me. I guess you'll have to find out for yourself! Thanks for reading and come back soon for more beauty and style, tips and reviews...=)

Flower Power

Lately I've noticed that a lot of teens are wearing flower clips in their hair. I actually think that flower clips are cute and they're also an easy way to liven up any outfit. In my opinion Forever 21 has the BEST and CHEAPEST flower clips around. I got a black and white one the other day for $1.50 (both of them together). Another good thing about them is that they don't hurt your head like headbands do. I don't know about you but I'm not a big fan of headbands. The ones that have 'thorns' stuck in them to help stick to your head are the worst! And having something rubbing against the back of my ears just irritates me to death! But, if  you like headbands, then there are some really cute ones that look just like the flowered clips but in headband form. Either way, these accessories are wonderful when you just need to 'mix things up a little'.

Lashtastic

Hey guys! So, one thing I've noticed lately is the need for a good mascara. Everybody wants mascara that will make your lashes look long and full and if you're one of those people, then I know just the organic product for you! Origins cosmetics have a lot of fabulous products like face masks, foundations, and much more! One thing I really like from them, however, is there mascara (Origins Full Story Mascara). Granted, it is the only mascara I've ever used...but I still think it's really great. I've never had any real problems with clumping (most of the time it's pretty good) and the great thing is that it's water proof! Yay! And, it's not too expensive either. A $14 bottle will last you 6-12 months! You heard me, months! So, what are you waiting for? I seriously don't know! This mascara is LASHTASTIC!

Pros: Makes lashes long and fuller looking, The quality is great, It's organic, and It's water proof.

Cons: Occasionally clumps but only slightly and if you go over it twice the clumps come out.

Fun In The Sun

Have you been catching some rays lately? If so, then you know that one thing that isn't so beautiful is getting burned. Sure a nice healthy tan is cute (although tanning too much can give you cancer) but red, irritated, and flaky skin is another thing! I'm sure most of you have probably done some researching to find the perfect bottle of sunscreen but have you ever considered searching for an organic sunscreen? I know, I know...I'm a little obsessed with natural products but hey, my body will thank me for it later! Anyways, organic sunscreens are the way to go! One of my favorites is called Sunbrellas natural sun care family sunblock by JASON. This sunblock has an SPF level of 36, is water resistant, paraben free, and totally natural. It even smells good =)...So, what are the cons you ask? Seriously, I can't even think of one. This product is wonderful and so is the brand. I love JASON'S PRODUCTS!
