FRÉ Skincare Review (Plus a Discount!)
Finding a phenomenal skincare product that works from a brand you trust can be such a pain. I’ve pretty much tried every drugstore brand of face washes and moisturizes out there and have been disappointed by all of them.

Natural Ways to Reduce Anxiety (That Are Also Super Simple)
I’ve had mild (and maybe a few instances of extreme) anxiety since second grade. It all started when one of my teachers wouldn’t let me go home when I told her I was feeling sick. She made me stay and I ended up puking in front of EVERYONE in the lunchroom. To say I was mortified was an understatement. Ever since that moment I had separation anxiety and dreaded going to school. Somehow, I outgrew that once I left elementary school. Surprisingly, I even enjoyed most of middle school.
