5 Easy DIY's You Can Do With Things You Already Have Around The House

Throughout the quarantine, people have been doing whatever they can to pass the time. DIY's are a great way to do that, but they can get expensive if you have to go out and buy a lot of materials to do them.

One of the most popular DIY's to come out of this time is the bleached sweatpants and sweatshirt set, which can be pretty cheap if you shop at the right places, and can end up looking super cute and trendy!

However, that is not what this article is about. This article is about different self care and fun DIY's that you can do with things you probably already have laying around your house!

2. Fruit Tie Dye

Buying the tie dye packs at the store can get really expensive really fast, just to use it one time and forget you ever bought it. A very good alternative to that could be using fruit you have that may be about to go bad or that you do not want to dye your clothes with! You can also use old shirts or any clothes you have laying around that you don't wear anymore rather than buying new ones. This video gives a great tutorial on the process of turning the fruit into dye as well as doing the actual shirt!

After spending months at home, these are some good things to do to pass the time. It's also an added bonus that you come out the other end with something really cool and fun, or glowing skin and hair! Be sure to take into account what works for your skin and hair before trying any of this if you are sensitive to any of these products.

Help to pass some time and keep things interesting by trying some of these out today! I know I'm excited to show off my fruit sweatshirt next time I go outside.

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.

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.

Like I said, it's a big hassle.

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.
