'Tis The Season For Finals (Blogmas Day 12)

Dear overwhelmed college students swamped in studying for finals,
I feel you.
Finals season sucks. And it sucks the fun out of the anticipation of the upcoming holidays. It's not fun having to debate; "do I go out and do my Christmas shopping, or continue working my way though this never-ending pile of notes to prepare for this exam?". It's really hard to get in the holiday spirit with these looming deadlines and exam dates approaching far too quickly.
15 weeks worth of Nursing classes and 15 weeks worth of Microbiology in a span of 4 days? No thanks.

So shout out to all you students out there still hanging on and looking forward to the break. Know that soon all those all-nighters, countless cups of coffee, endless note taking and highlighting will all be worth it as you follow your dreams! And congrats to those of you who have made it through your finals and are getting much deserved rest! Please remember that your grades do not define you and as long as you tried your best, then you did absolutely everything anyone could expect from you! <3

Happy holidays everyone, and may the odds be ever in your favor ;) !

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm: For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps: Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish: Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it. Pros: Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier. Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
