Best summer finds from Shein for under $20

Image
If you're like me you won't spend a lot of money on clothes because you are constantly changing your mind about what you like. That's why I love a good bargain when it comes to buying clothes. Websites like Shein, Romwe, and Missguided are perfect for this as they feature inexpensive, trendy clothes. As most of know by now, ordering from these websites is sometimes a risk because you don't always know what you're getting. I always make sure to read the reviews carefully and look for pictures on social media of people actually wearing the item to gauge sizing. Below I have compiled my favorite summer pieces from Shein. Comment below to let me know what your favorites are. Enjoy! First, this cute tie die maxi dress and its only $16! I love the boho feel of this dress. You could easily pair this with a long necklace and a pair of cute leather sandals. A nice plus is that on Shein.com this dress has many reviews and uploaded pictures of buyers wearing it. Find

Must read for active ladies with big busts

Ladies...my boyfriend bought me the best gift. It's called the Booband and you will never exercise without it again. In high school, I was a competitive athlete who played sports year-round. Imagine my disappointment when I boobs emerged overnight halfway through high school. From that point until last December, I would wear two sports to contain my 32Ds. As a avid runner, two sports bras still did not cut it. It caused me to be self-conscious when running at the gym or in my neighborhood. Baggy shirts became my new best friend. So you can picture my face when my boyfriend gave me the Booband. I was ecstatic. The Booband is an adjustable, Velcro wide band that is intended to provide breast support by reducing movement and improving posture during exercise. The band is placed just above your bust line (see picture below.) I highly recommend this product. You can get it for under $30  here  on Amazon. Personally, I think this is a great price for what you're getting.

The truth about castor oil

Image
What is the obsession with castor oil? According to Naturallivingideas.com, castor oil is made from beans from the tropical plant Ricinus communis. It's mostly made up of triglycerides, a type of natural fat that is a main component in the makeup of our skin. You'll find triglycerides in a lot of skin products (as expected) due to their skin softening and replenishing properties. Castor oil is most popular for its use as a laxative. However, castor oil contains a protein called ricin which is toxic. It is easy to ingest too much castor oil, therefore taking it for laxative purposes is not recommended and can lead to gastrointestinal side effects, such as cramping and diarrhea.  It is also popular as a skin moisturizer. This makes sense when considering its main component of triglycerides. I imagine castor oil would be excellent when used as a massage oil. It is sticky however, so I would use it when you intend to shower afterwards.  The current obsession with cas
