Staff Recommends: Miracle product, authentic Mexican food and easy white teeth

Editor’s Note: Staff recommends is a series where each staffer will suggest certain things that we think our audience will like. Each ‘recommends’ will be written by a different staffer and will symbolize that staffer’s personality.

Oil-Free Acne Wash Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit: 

Oil Awaaay

I have an EXTREMELY oily face and I was sure no product would be able to tame the oil my T-Zone (forehead, nose and chin) formed. Finally, I found the Neutrogena Solve My Acne quiz and my results told me to try the Oil-Free Acne Wash Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit cream and scrub. True to its name, it not only works, but you can feel it working and it smells amazing.

JAE’S TIP: Do not mix the two together and take your time; when I do the opposite, my skin is still oily.

Taco Grande:

Taco Bell who?

I grew up in Dallas in a highly Hispanic populated area, my best friend is Hispanic, and I have Hispanics in my family. I KNOW good authentic Mexican food when I taste it. Taco Grande has ridiculously low prices for delicious food. I can feel the time and effort within every flavor packed bite.

JAE’S TIP: Every Tuesday is Taco Tuesday, which means cheap tacos.

SuperDuperKyle: 

Beautiful Loser

He is a 22-year-old alternative rapper from Ventura, Calif. He has a very distinctive rap style, but it is sometimes compared to Drake’s. My three all time favorite songs are “Oceans,” “Love 4 You,” and “Keep it Real.”

JAE’S TIP: He doesn’t sound like Drake.

Backroom: 

Chic clothes

This is a online store I love to shop from because they have cute and unique items. The clothes are great quality and look the same as displayed, despite the lighting. However, you have to really dig and search through multiple pages to find what you may be searching for.

JAE’S TIP: Some of their items may be on the pricey side, but the quality makes it worth it.

Crest 3D White toothpaste:

My holy grail 

This is the ONLY toothpaste I use because it’s true to its name. Before I started using this product, my teeth weren’t bad, but they didn’t sparkle and shine as I wanted them to. The next day after brushing my teeth with the product morning and night, my teeth were already glimmering and shining. I was amazed at how fast and true the product worked.

JAE’S TIP: Different people, different results.
