Hey Girls!  As midterms end I’ve noticed that I have let a lot of things personally fall by the waist side. I think the biggest thing that happens to me any time I get stressed is that I break out! I also drink a lot of coffee and soda to stay awake, and get so busy I don’t eat healthily.

         This midterms week I found a way to easily combat all the symptoms that show the strain of stress, ACTIVATED CHARCOAL. This stuff is wonderful!  It cures so many things I had to share my favorite ways to use it.

1.   FAICAL CLEANSER/ ACNE TREATMENT:

This stuff can suck out black heads like a magnet! I’ve  used cleansers with it in them before but using the raw activated charcoal can really clear up your skin. I just break the capsule open and wash my face with it after I wash my face,

2.   TEETH WHITENER:

Activated charcoal can whiten your teeth while keeping your moth clean by restoring the PH level.  I break the capsule open on my toothbrush and brush my teeth with it.

3.   TOXIN REMOVER:

4.   After all the junk food I eat during midterms I start to feel sluggish and gross, which is the opposite of how you want to feel when you have to pull all nighters. I just take it every morning before class.

5.   HANGOVER CURE:

When taken in its purest form, it removes the toxins that contribute to alcohol poisoning and can soak up alcohol in your system to aid in fixing a hangover. THIS STUFF IS INCREDABLE!!!!
