Real Himalayan pink salt, obtained from deep underground in the mines of Khewra, Pakistan, located on the western edge of the Himalayan mountains, is hand carved to create lamps that are unique assets to any room. Not only is the Himalayan pink salt lamp aesthetically pleasing, but there are also numerous health benefits that result from having one of these lamps on in your room. Each Himalayan pink salt lamp absorbs water vapor, along with allergens like dust, pollen, pet dander, smoke particles, bacteria, and viruses, from the air. These microscopic compounds are attracted to the salt block and remain attached to the salt; now these particles are no longer floating in the air that you are inhaling into your body. Inside the hollowed center of the lamp is a light bulb that generates both light and heat. Then, the light in the lamps heat up the pink salt crystals resulting in the release of negative ions that begin to neutralize the positive ions in the air. Therefore, because allergens, bacteria, and viruses tend to attach to positive ions in the air, then the impacts of these particles will be reduced with the presence of a Himalayan pink salt lamp in the room as the lamp neutralizes those ions. The water particles are evaporated back into the air, while the other dust, bacteria, and virus particles remain locked within the salt. The lamp emits a soft, pinkish orange glow that can be adjusted to the brightness level of your choice. Additionally, these salt lamps are available in a variety of sizes, creative shapes, and even as small rock filled vases and baskets. Here are 12 reasons why you need a gorgeous Himalayan pink salt lamp (or two, or three, maybe even one in each room of your house).

1. Reduces asthma and allergy symptoms

2. Increases energy levels

3. Improves sleep quality

4. Reduces stress

5. Purifies the air

6. Enhances mood

7. Promotes concentration

8. Eases coughing

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
