7 Boldly Beautiful Tips For Looking Classy At Homecoming

Girls, let's be honest, we need a lot of time and energy to get ready, especially for major events like prom or homecoming. I hope these 7 tips can help all of us look like the Belles of the ball!


Complement Your Skin Tone Through The Colors of Your Dress.


For example, if you are a girl who as a dusky or darker tone, complement that with a dress in cobalt blue, pearl white, gold, cream, teal blue, gray, or even yellow! For a wheatish, it could be a nice red or maroon, soft pink, dark lavender or mauve. For fair complexion, you can do even a silver, dark pink, or aqua.

Highlight Only 1 Facial Feature Through Makeup, Not All of Them!



We can get to experiment with makeup in so many ways that we can't even imagine. However, the thing you is you shouldn't make yourself look unnatural. Draw attention to the feature you like the most about yourself. For example, if you like your eyes, highlight them with a nice glittery eye contour pencil or light eyeshadow. I recommend using Sephora's contour eyeliner collection for $10 if you like that. For lips, use some bold shades like mulberry, blood red, or a nice watermelon.

You Should Start Prepping Your Look 2 Weeks Ahead Of Time!

You don't want to look like you just got out of bed to get dressed. Make sure you find your dress 2 weeks ahead, so you have enough time to do alternations and fitting. Mess around with your hair to get your perfect style, whether half-up half-down or side-bun. A few days before the big night, get your manicure and pedicure done. Do not scramble at the last moment, because I can guarantee it that you will regret it through your IG pics. Also, ask your close friends and family about your look so you can tweak anything to look the best you can be.

Get Jewelry and Shoes That Accent Your Dress.



For instance, if you own a nice maroon gown with gold embroidery work, then complement that with some white and gold earrings and jewelry. If your dress is blue and silver, get out those shiny silver earrings.

Try A New Hairstyle!

Don't do the same conventional ponytail or just let your hair down. Research some looks that would complement your overall look, cause some dresses have a great hairstyle that is just perfect for it. Go all out and have the time of your life. Here some examples to help you guys out:

  • Relaxed curls for straps
  • One side up for one shoulder
  • Half-up half-down for strapless
  • Twisted bun for open back

Wax or Shave It!


Girls, tell me, don't you think it's time we decide which of these two is best for our skin? If you have sensitive skin, I highly suggest you go for a shave a couple of hours before your big night. If your skin can handle a little more pull and tug, I would recommend a hard wax that can uproot hairs off in a matter of seconds. If you choose to wax, please do it a couple of days before because it takes time for the redness to decrease. You don't want to be rashy and red at the dance.

Groom and Pamper Yourself.

Ladies, I don't know if you already read what I said above, but please start doing all this ahead of time. Take a couple of minutes each day to massage your skin and hair with some coconut oil and shea butter. Also, if you like to exfoliate, you should try the St. Ives face scrubs, because they are the best! Relax and enjoy yourself while you take your bath. Put some of that nice nail paint while you're at it!

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.
