Flexbox/Registration Form

I'm having trouble getting the checkboxes and radio buttons on the desktop view of this to look right......I can't quite get the styling to stick to the various labels as needed. I have this perfect on mobile view, but I haven't figured out how to target the radio and checkbox elements with the desired styling that doesn't contradict the other label/input pairings. The code:

<!doctype html>
<head>

<meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Code Review Newsletter</title>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
    <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Merriweather|Open+Sans" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

<body>



    <div class="main-content">

Hello! Could you maybe link us to your workspace? The code on the page is a bit hard to read!

Solved, what it took was the painfully obivous use of specfic input "type" selectors versus the general input selector.
