Urban Decay Vice Lipstick

$17; some shades on sale for $11 at Sephora

Best 17 bucks I ever spent. I still have a tube of the limited edition 'Alice Through the Looking Glass' lipstick that I am carefully, carefully hoarding. Luckily, this one has 100 shades available--seriously--so when the time comes I'll definitely be re-stocking with Vice. The names range from Anarchy, Big Bang, and Jawbreaker. Definitely recommend for when you need to feel like a James Bond villain.

Burt's Bees BB Cream

$15

Burt's Bees is a classic that never goes out of style. It's all-natural, won't make you break out like some other concealers will, and just looks great too. Thanks, bees. You really did us a favor here.

LUSH Sugar Plum Fairy Lip Tint

$7.99

It smells and tastes like actual candy. Vegan, animal-cruelty free, and not too pricey. The only "problem" is that when I apply any LUSH lip product I want to lick it off. I can live with that, though...

Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Nail Polish

$9.99

I am hopelessly awful at painting my nails. Gel polish is a lifesaver for me with my clumsy hands, and there's no UV light or anything fancy required. Just apply the polish, sit back, and profit.

FRESH Soy Face Cleanser

$15.00 and up

Whenever I have an awful, no-good, bad morning, I use this stuff and it makes my face feel so much better. Not even an 8 AM class can hurt me when this face wash feels so clean, and has a subtly sweet scent as well!

ELF Little Brow Book Kit

On sale for $4; orig. $10

Set includes: 4 reusable eyebrow stencils, 2 powder eyeshadow shades, 1 eyebrow defining wax, 1 eyebrow brush, 1 dual-ended brow and pencil brush and 1 tweezer.

It's 4 dollars. ELF is a gift every day of the year.

Bath & Body Works Aromatherapy Orange Ginger Body Lotion

$13.00

Pretty sure the scent of this lotion could bring me back from the dead. Great for when you're so tired that motivation is out of the question.

Maison Lavender Body Butter

$7.99

If I had it my way, I would make everything lavender-scented. It's calming, natural, and the scent stays for longer than some harsher perfumes.

Batiste Dry Shampoo

~$5-$10

The cherry one smells divine, and there are even tinted sprays for people who are too indecisive to commit to hair dye, like me.

Yes to Tomatoes Detoxifying Charcoal Mud Mask

$2.99

If you're like me and your skin hates you sometimes, this might be a really good choice. Mud masks can be pricey and messy, but these cute little single-use ones are harmless. Yes to Tomatoes is also a great natural brand, and never irritates my skin.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
