I am always on the hunt for anything to better my skin. Growing up I struggled with acne, then I have battled the scarring caused from it, and now I am beginning to get wrinkles. The crows feet and smile lines are becoming more visible each day, so I decided to make an addition to my skincare routine. The Roloxin Lift Instant Wrinkle Smoothing Mask from Dermarche Labs improves the appearance of skin in 7 minutes. This treatment removes the tired, dull look from my drab skin for 24 hours. This cream is like botox in a bottle, for a fraction of the cost. It includes vitamin e, aloe vera, vitamin a, vitamin c, and antioxidants.

When I was in college, my friend Jade and I hosted a weekly radio show called Hump Day with Cate & Jade. It was always the highlight of my week to go into the studio with Jade and chat about all sorts of nonsense. Whether it was events taking place in our lives, celebrity gossip, or the latest trends, we dissected it all on Wednesday afternoons.

Recently we decided to bring it back! Although we have moved on from our Hump Days, we are now Twenty Somethings. Each week we will be discussing our lives, pop culture, and any problems twenty somethings face. This week we caught up with each other, discussed Kylie Jenner's secret baby, Kendra & Hank's split, the struggle of health insurance, and more! Listen here!

Spring is here and styles are changing like the weather. This spring we are seeing a lot of retro looks.

A couple years ago I met Milton's Craft Bakers at the Gluten Free Expo in San Diego. Afterwards I teamed up with Milton's to share the greatness of all their products and I am happy to be partnering with them again! The Milton's Gluten Free Crackers rock my world. I know the phrase "gluten-free" often makes people assume it will taste nasty, but these are delicious. They are my favorite to have in the afternoon with some hummus, or to crumble up on top of a salad. These crackers come in a variety of flavors including sea salt, cheddar cheese, multi-grain, and everything. My favorite is cheddar cheese, but all of them are equally delicious! Milton's crackers are baked, making them a healthier option than chips. I am so grateful Milton's has provided healthier alternatives to those who are eating gluten free!

FTC Disclosure: Milton's sent me their crackers in exchange for a review. All opinions are honest and my own. 

Spring break is here for many people. For me, it is a couple more weeks away, but the weather is warming up and fun plans are quickly getting penciled in on my planner. Here are some tips for a fun and safe spring break whether you are traveling or staying local.

• Stay hydrated! Whether you are spending time outdoors or enjoying a couple adult beverages, dehydration can happen quickly. Remember to drink at least 64 fluid ounces, and add to that if you weigh over 150 pounds.
• Wear sunblock! Be sure to lather up with SPF. Reapply after a couple hours or spending time in the water. Try to avoid spray sunscreen as it can lead to inhalation issues and does not provide proper coverage.
• Watch your cash use! Do not carry too much cash on you at any given time. If on vacation, utilize the safe in your hotel room. If you are visiting an ATM, do not go after dark for obvious safety reasons.
• Do not drive! If you consume any amount of alcohol, please do not get behind the wheel. Convenience is not worth the price of a DUI or even worse the cost of your life or the lives of others. Walk to your destination or call for an UBER. For a free ride with Uber, use the coupon code h016x and safe yourself from the risks of a stupid decision.

Spring is here (tomorrow) and I am really excited. Winter was pure chaos for me, in the best way possible, but I am hoping for a more chill spring.

Here is my bucket list for spring:

1. Attend a baseball game.
2. Go to a concert.
3. Go to a winery.
4. Lots of beach time.
5. Weekend getaway
6. Go to the Farmer's Market
7. More hikes
8. Play tennis
9. Pick berries
10. Lose 10 pounds

What are you looking forward to doing this spring?

I have been watching The Bachelor franchise since Trista was Bachelorette. Yup, since ten years old I have watched hundreds of people vie for the final rose. In the past four years I have interviewed dozens of Bachelor contestants, been on Bachelor related podcasts, and have developed incredible friendships because of this silly show.

However, after last night, I will never watch any franchise related shows again. After my final Bachelor interview I have already done, with someone from this season, I will never discuss the show on my blog again.

What ABC did to Becca last night is disgusting, immoral, and inexcusable. I still can't shake the feeling of what this beautiful woman went through in front of all America. I understand that she signed up for The Bachelor, but she did not sign up to get dumped in front of all of America on what she thought was a Happy Couple visit. Happy Couple visits are NEVER recorded. While producers are around for them, they are NEVER recorded. The fact that cameras were there to watch Arie break Becca's heart and then aired it all "unedited" on television is disgusting. The fact that Arie agreed to do this on television, instead of in private, says everything about the character of these people and the production.

Bachelor Nation, thank you for years of entertainment, quality blog posts, and new friends. I will miss my Monday night viewing parties, but I can drink my wine in other ways.

Today is Read Across America Day. This day, which also happens to be Dr. Seuss' birthday, promotes a love for reading in children across our nation. As an educator, I heavily promote this day, but as adults, I believe we put reading on the back burner.

We scroll through emails, news feeds, and text messages, but when was the last time you sat down and enjoyed a good book? We instill the importance of literacy in our youth without being examples of readers ourselves.

Some benefits of reading as adults include: mental stimulation, increased knowledge, improved focus, stress reduction, and free entertainment. Lately I have been enjoying audio books on my morning commute, which although not technically reading, still allows me to get creatively lost in someone else's words and often leaves me inspired.
