CVS Pharmacy has just recently launched their "Beauty In Real Life" line and if you haven't checked it out, you have to ASAP. Any girl who is interested in beauty and self care products knows that Sephora is a dangerous place to go, and it's very easy to leave with your hands full and wallet empty. BUT, now CVS has some of these name brand products as well as some really good quality knock offs that are worth sacrificing the brand name for sure. Here's my compilation of beauty and care products that you can find at CVS that will make a huge difference to your everyday look and your bank account. Enjoy!

Love, Beauty, and Planet

This isn't a singular product but this line is vegan, cruelty free and worth it! They have lotions, shampoos/conditioners, body wash, etc

Shea Moisture Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

L'Oreal Lumi Glotion

Maybelline Strobe Stick Illuminating Highlighter 

Maybelline Face Studio Primer 

NYX Setting Powder

Maybelline Age Rewind under-eye Concealer 

John Frieda Straight Fixation

Maybelline Waterproof Mascara

Pro Tip: get this in Dark Brown if you're not a fan of dark, dark mascara because the black is reallyyyyyyy dark :)

Vaseline Lip Therapy

Put these together and you have an almost fully complete go-to makeup kit! I love finding genuinely great products at places like CVS where I can use my discounts and not break my bank account, so I hope you find these as helpful as I do!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
