5 Signs You Are Doing Better Than you Think

by

Do you feel overwhelmed with life sometimes? Well, you may be doing better than you think. Technology and social media have drastically changed our way of living. We often resort to »comparing» our lives to those we know (and sometimes don’t even know). However, it is important to keep in mind, that each one of us go according to their own timeline. So, whatever we may be going through, we shouldn’t forget that even in our darkest days, we are still doing better than a lot of unfortunate people.

If you are in doubt, or just been feeling blue lately, here are few signs to remind you that you are on the right track.

1- You Have a Roof Over Your Head

Unfortunately, Global Homelessness Statistics estimates that over 1.6 billion people in the world are homeless. So, to put your life back into perspective, be thankful for having a place to lay your head at night. Wether it’s too hot or too cold, sunny or rainy, you have a place to go to every night, and to call home.

2- You Are Healthy

Remember that time your nose got clogged, and you sat there wondering why you ever took life for granted when you could breathe? Well, this is the same case. Being healthy is something that we often neglect, because we don’t know how much harder it gets when you are sick. Therefore, if you woke up today with no health problems, then you are doing better than half of the world’s population.

3- You Have At Least 1 Good Friend

If you have a mother, a father, a sibling or even just one person to talk to, then you are doing better than you think you are. A good friend who is there for you, listens to you, helps you in your ups and downs is definitely a blessing. New research that targeted people with chronicle depression, found out that nearly 80% of the cases are due to loneliness.

4- You Are Passionate About Something

It doesn’t matter if you like painting, singing or building machines. If you have a passion in your life that you enjoy doing, and most importantly, that can do, then you are doing great. So many people struggle with finding a sense of »purpose» and having the courage to do something they love. You should keep working on your passion, because so many people would give anything to be in your shoes.

5- You Are Not Giving Up

The most important sign of all. As long as you keep trying and don’t give up to bad situations, then you are on the right track in life. There will always be something you can’t have, a situation you can’t control, and something you really love that you have to let go of. A bad relationship, a toxic friendship, a job you don’t love… If you keep pushing through no matter what, then you are absolutely not giving yourself enough credits.

The Kardashians Were The Laughingstock of The Emmys

by

This past Sunday marked the annual biggest awards night in American television, The Emmys. While many television shows and networks went away as true winners that night (HBO with 9 wins, the show «Fleabag» with 4), one of the biggest moments of the night didn’t come from the winner’s podium. Rather, the most cringe-worthy moment came when Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner presented the award for «Outstanding Reality TV.»

A Not-So-Real Reality

Kim and Kendall are famous for being part of the 5 sisters that star on «Keeping Up With The Kardashians.» The show follows their lives, through all their drama living as millionaires (and billionaires). When they went to present the award for Reality TV, Kim told the audience «Our family knows firsthand how truly compelling television comes from real people just being themselves.»

Kendall then continued the speech in a serious tone, «Telling their stories unfiltered and unscripted.» Despite the two claiming their lives are completely unfiltered and real in front of the camera, it appeared the Emmys audience had a different perspective as they burst out laughing at the two stars.

The Twitter Jokes Following The Emmys

Although the audience was in an uproar, by the looks of Kim and Kendall’s faces, they thought the moment was anything but funny. The oh-so-awkward moment soon became the source of many jokes on Twitter.

A Misunderstanding

It turns out, the lines by Kim and Kendall were supposed to be a joke, but the two sisters never got the memo before hand. They were not informed prior to reading the teleprompter to give the award that it should be tongue-in-cheek. As a result, well… they became the fools of the Emmys. Maybe this is a sign for Kim to start focusing less on Reality TV and more on her Law Bar exam…

Are Biotin Pills Truly The Beauty Cure-All?

by

Women around the world aim to get the best hair, skin, and nails that they can. This often includes turning to different fad creams, superfoods, and some might say questionable practices. Most recently, biotin pills have been considered the cure-all beauty vitamin to promise the best of all three. However, are all the supposed benefits really scientifically proven?

Biotin Pills Bought At A Booming Rate

It is clear that the reported benefits of biotin have women crazy for the vitamin. In fact, 20 percent of people who take supplements in the US say they take this pill for beauty purposes. And biotin isn’t the only beauty supplement being taken. In 2016 the beauty supplement market was $133 billion worldwide! Many beauty experts believe this approach comes from the new trend of «beauty from within.»

While the phrase originated as a way for people to focus on the personality attributes of individuals over the superficial, it has transformed as a nutritional beauty approach. Biotin pills have been at the forefront for supplements taken by women, given its affordability and 3-in-1 claims.

Do The Supplement Claims Stack Up?

It’s not a straightforward answer, largely due to the fact supplements in the US don’t need human trials to prove their «beauty benefits.» Therefore, many supplements don’t have any scientific trials, or only studies that were paid for by the company, thus killing a lot of its reliability. Additionally, some ingredients do work topically, but if ingested in a pill don’t work.

Several vitamins like Vitamin C and E have repeatedly proven their beauty benefits. Biotin however, has only been proven to help individuals that have a true biotin deficiency in their system. Otherwise, researchers say there is limited data to show if people with normal biotin levels actually gain any benefits from using a supplement. This is true for the majority of vitamins and supplements on the market; they only work if you have a true vitamin deficiency in your system.

That said, if you are thinking about taking any supplements in the future for beauty purposes, you should ask your doctors if they think you personally could benefit from taking a supplement. Otherwise, don’t waste your money!

Lizzie McGuire Returns With A Millennial Reboot

by

«This is what dreams are made of!» This past week, Hilary Duff shared some major news that instantly brought us back to our childhood. Our favorite spunky blonde «Lizzie McGuire», is returning to TV with a new series reboot!

The Lizzie McGuire Announcement We Needed

At the Disney D23 Expo, Hilary took to the stage to announce she would be returning as the star of the show, as the grown up 30 year old version of Lizzie now working in Manhattan.

The original series was on «The Disney Channel» from 2001 to 2004, and revolved around the struggles and drama effaced by 13 year old Lizzie in middle school. It catapulted to international success, most famously with «The Lizzie McGuire Movie.» It had every girl dreaming of throwing a coin into the Trevi Fountain and finding her own Paolo.

Transitioning With The Times

The new series will still center on Lizzie’s struggles, but this time as a 30 year old millennial in the Big Apple. The original show’s creator Terry Minsky will also be returning to work on this new series. However, there is still no word on whether the other original cast members will be returning for an appearance as well.

Where Can We Catch Lizzie McGuire?

The only downside to this revival is that the show will be streamed on Disney+. This means only members will have access to watching our beloved blonde. *Sigh* Luckily, the platform is fairly cheap. For only $6.99 a month, you can have access to «Lizzie McGuire» plus all of the Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars movies you know and love.

Time Will Only Tell…

The new «Lizzie McGuire» is not set to be released until 2020, so until then fans can only predict what crazy new adventures will be in store. Our personal favorite predictions were created and shared in a thread on twitter by @auntanxiety. Only time will tell!

Are Jade Rollers Beneficial For Your Skin?

by

Jade rollers are an increasingly popular tool in skincare. Some people swear by the benefits of using the smooth green jade on their face, and others claim it to be a big waste of money. Before you decide to purchase or forego adding this tool to your beauty routine, we have all the details.

Can Jade Rollers Cure Your Acne?

Hate to break it, but jade rollers are not the magical cure for acne. Many brands sell this tool as helping to reduce breakouts, but the reality is this product does nothing for zits. A better treatment for breakouts would be using a salicylic acid face wash or spot treatment once a day.

What Skin Benefit Do Jade Rollers Provide?

While they can’t banish your breakouts and wrinkles, jade rollers can help with reducing your puffiness. The rolling motions on your face helps to increase lymphatic drainage, meaning your face will appear leaner and less tired from just waking up. It is also best to use the roller after you have already applied moisturizer or toner on your face, to feel more relaxed and smooth the product evenly into your skin. As of now there is no data to backup if the roller helps for facial products to penetrate better, but this is also a potential bonus from using the stones on your skin.

How To Use A Jade Roller

As intuitive as it may seem, there is a wrong and right way to using a jade roller. This beauty routine was part of ancient Chinese rituals to create movement underneath the skin’s surface. But rather than smoothing it all over your face in haphazard strokes like you would with painting a wall, you should roll in specific directions.

It is best to start with rolling in downward motions around the neck area to open circulation to your face. Then roll the stone on your cheeks in an outward motion before hitting your forehead in a downward then horizontal direction. This should help to get the best results if used daily!

It’s Time To Amp Up Pink In Your Style (Again)

by

Pink has been a popular color for… centuries. Yet it seems to be having another recent comeback. Just take one look at the runways or even your local makeup store. Pink is everywhere again, but it’s not the hue that is calling our attention. It’s how it is being worn with all new twists.

No more do we just stick to a soft pink lip color! Now there are long-lasting lip stains, eye shadow hues, blushes, and accessories to complete your look for any occasion.

Why Do We Love Pink?

This color is great to add back into your style routine for several reasons. The primary is that it is truly a universal color. While certain reds and oranges can have a harsh effect on different skin tones, pinks have enough color that is not too shocking to compliment any skin tone or hair combination.

Not only can it blend well, but pink can be statement making too. Just look to Megan Rapinoe, the forward from the US Women’s National Soccer Team who made headlines this past World Cup for her athletic prowess, political stances, and yes, her hair! Her look became so iconic, that it actually inspired stylists Riawna Capri and Joey Perrotti to name a new hue after her: Rapinkoe.

Awesome Products

While many of us can’t afford to splurge on the same products used and worn on the runway, thankfully many bargain brands have also joined in on the pink movement. You can get perfectly pink pouts with ink crayon lipsticks or achieve a nice iridescent glow with these tinted highlighters. Whatever your style choice, you’re sure to make Elle Woods proud!
