So, I tried Clean and Clear SOFT: Steam In-Shower Facial. Let me tell you, it’s great! You can feel it working. Here’s some info:

Glycolic Acid (an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid), clay, natural fruit acids, and exfoliating beads. The SOFT In-Shower Facial features Glycolic Acid, an exfoliant that promotes gentle cell turnover, as well as clay, which draws the dirt and oil out of skin that often gets trapped deep down in pores. Formulated with natural fruit acids, this cleansing treatment helps lift impurities from skin as the exfoliating beads help to improve skin’s clarity and texture by gently, but effectively, sloughing away tired, dull skin. Using the SOFT In-Shower Facial for just one minute helps to soften, purify and smooth young skin now, and promotes beautiful skin in the future.

The CLEAN & CLEAR® SOFT In-Shower Facial cleanses young skin by offering a deep purifying technology that consists of a combination of the following key ingredients: Glycolic Acid (an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid), clay, natural fruit acids, and exfoliating beads.

I am a horrible person, it’s true. I’ve been so busy, though! I’m so sorry! :(

Well, it’s coming close to time for school to start, so it’s time to get ready! Yes, I’m sorry.

I love long and flowy skirts for summer. They’re especially girly and make a very bold statement. If miniskirts are more your thing, then go with those.

To wear a longer skirt, first find the skirt you like. Then look for a shirt that matches it. I suggest a plain tank top or t-shirt. Try to add a corresponding necklace, bracelet or earrings. Don’t overdo the accessories!

Swim season is a nightmare for some of us. We’re not comfortable with our bodies, we don’t know where to get a cute swimsuit, we don’t want to spend much on one… the list goes on.

My suggestion: either find one swimsuit you really love and splurge, or get a basic, solid-colored bottom and various cheap tops with similar silouhettes and size to avoid tan-line fiascos.

Some of my faves:
