BEAUTY SECRET: My $6 Nighttime Moisturizer

My latest and greatest beauty secret has got to be one of the most amazing yet cheap thing EVER! I used to use this stuff on my hair a few years ago but somehow forgot about it and never realized the other amazing things that it is capable of. For those of you who do not know what I am talking about... this amazing product is called Coconut Oil!

Coconut Oil is great for so many things however, for the past few days I have been using it for my overall health and as a nighttime moisturizer. For those of you who know me very well, I have EXTREMELY dry skin. It's disgusting! I literally cannot smile without some sort of moisturizer on my face.

For the past few nights, I have been putting on a little bit of Coconut Oil on my face right before bedtime and I literally saw instant results! My dull and dry skin suddenly became hydrated and bright. I was so amazed that something so cheap and easy could be this good on my face. And the best part of it all is that it does not make me break out! In this photo above, I used the coconut oil the night before. So you can see how smooth, clear, hydrated, and vibrant my skin looks.

I bought the Coconut Oil at the grocery store for $6. It comes with a lot of it and you do not need that much for your face which is great! Another great fact about it is that it helps shed belly fat. So in order to keep my flat tummy, I have been consuming 2 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil every single day! However, it takes a few weeks/months to see the results... so I am not sure whether or not that works yet but I will let you guys know once I do! I've heard that it does work so I am hoping that it does a good job on me!

Fact: Coconut Oil comes as a solid. You must melt it in the microwave or on a stove top in order to turn it into a liquid state! But be careful because if you keep it on the stove or in the microwave for too long, it can catch on fire. So you want to make sure you only heat it up for a few seconds! I only heated it in my microwave for 30 seconds and let it cool for a minute or so.

I hope you guys try and love the amazing benefits of Coconut Oil! Xoxo ♡

Thanks for reading everyone!

Why You Should Continue Your Education After High School

It isn't necessarily true that in order to be successful in life... You need to go to college. However, having a degree will make it a lot easier and you will have a higher chance at becoming successful compared to not having a degree or certificate in something.

College isn't for everyone and unless you are going to take it seriously, then don't waste your time and money because college is a HUGE investment. But it is an investment that is well worth it. A degree isn't JUST a piece of paper. It's an accomplishment that you made and that is something that you will take with you for the rest of your life. Nobody can take that away from you. You earned it and it is something to be extremely proud of. 

The most common excuse that I hear from people who don't attend college is: "I cannot afford college because I don't make enough money for it."

Well I'm here to tell you that NOBODY DOES! Trust me. We are all on the same boat as you. But that is what financial aid, grants, and student loans are for! And the whole point of getting a degree is to get a higher paying career so you will earn the money back to pay it off eventually :) 

I know so many people who have applied for school and because their income is low, they are recieving grants and do not have to pay a dime for college. For those who do not know what a grant is, it is when the school gives you money towards your tuition and you do not have to pay it back. Which is awesome! So many people do not know the many options that are out there for them! Unfortunately, I was one of them. Being an only child made it rough when figuring everything out and applying for colleges because my parents never attended college so they knew nothing about it and figuring it out was all on me. I don't have any older siblings to help guide me. But it has helped me become more independent.. And like I said.. NO EXCUSES! 😂

Like I said, a college degree will not guarantee success because success comes from hard work and the more you put into it, the more you'll get out of it. BUT... you'll be a lot more likely to become successful with a degree than if you didn't have one. My parents never went to college and luckily, my father still became very successful with his own business and even though he didn't attend college, he still makes a lot of money. But it was a lot easier back when he was younger to be successful without a degree than it is now... he just got lucky. As time has gone by, unfortunately, nowadays, people with a degree even have trouble finding jobs with their profession which is why aiming high is always the best thing to do!

Whether you graduate high school and join the military, go to college, or even attend a trade school. I promise you that it will be well worth it in the end because earning a degree is extremely rewarding and is an amazing accomplishment and j highly recommend everybody to follow your dreams and BE SOMETHING! 

I hope that this blog has inspired you in some way and I hope that you end up following your dreams no matter what pathway you choose :)

Thanks for reading everyone!
