I love discovering new beauty techniques to work with. Nowadays, beauty bloggers are experimenting with all different sorts of products and makeup. Have you heard of bloggers using hard boiled eggs as beauty blenders? While trying out these cool trends seem like fun, there are 5 tricks in specific I absolutely swear by.

Beauty Trick #1: Apply concealer in triangles under your eyes

Dark circles are inevitable. Something I discovered a few years ago before contouring blew up, was to draw triangles underneath of my eyes with concealer. This brightens up the entire face and is really effective in covering darkness underneath the eyes.

Beauty Trick #2: Wet eye shadow brushes

Before applying eye shadow, dampen your eye shadow brushes. A wet eye shadow brush makes the colors appear much more vibrant on your skin.

Beauty Trick #3: Exfoliate lips with a toothbrush

This is great to do before applying lip colors because it wipes away any dry skin and creates the perfect canvas! A toothbrush makes a great exfoliator for your lips and make them smooth and supple

Beauty Trick #4: Apply two different mascaras

Falsies can be irritating, and aren't necessary for a day-to-day basis. Instead of using falsies, try layering your mascaras. Currently, I use Benefit Roller Lash along with L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Volume Building Mascara!

Beauty Trick #5: Prime face with color corrector

Before applying my foundation, I apply a green primer to cancel out the redness. This creates a smooth, and even base for my foundation. I use Correcting Primer- Redness Reducer in green by PUR. Of course there are many different shades suitable for different skin types.

These beauty hacks can make a huge difference in your routine without making any drastic changes. Happy blending!

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.
