Beauty Tricks For The Broke College Girl

Juggling school, work, organizations and trying to have eyebrows on fleek everyday is truly stressful. I have always loved cheap DIY beauty tricks and since being in college, I have a routine. Who would not love beauty tricks that make you look amazing and are super cheap?

1. Use Nair for blackheads.

Nair for the face is the easiest way to get rid of those stubborn nose blackheads. You just apply some Nair over your nose and let it sit for five to 10 minutes and then remove the Nair. Once it is removed wipe your nose off and find a hard card to push down on your nose with and the blackheads will begin to just pop out. It is very gross but interesting!!

2. Plump lips.

Nooo, my beauty tip is not to do the Kylie Jenner challenge lol. To get your lips to be bigger naturally all you need is cinnamon, cayenne pepper and vaseline. First, apply the a thin layer of vaseline to the lips. Then, dab on the cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Immediately after this your lips will burn but remember beauty is pain. The longer you leave this on your lips the more plump your lips will get. This will only last for 24 hours at the most!

3. Removing makeup.

Removing your makeup is essential to life! Don't you ever go to bed with your makeup. It is absolutely damaging to your skin. So being a broke college student led me to running out of money for makeup remover -- saddest day of the year. Good thing my mom brought my coconut oil for my dorm and this blessed my face. I use this religiously to remove makeup and it works so fast and leaves my skin smooth.

4. DIY setting spray.

Not anymore you aren't! Making my own setting spray changed my makeup experience for the better. I can't be spending $40 on setting spray every time I run out, so I made my own. With the help of the internet of course! I mixed warm water and Aloe Vera Gel and mixed until the Aloe dissolved, this kept my makeup on just like any other setting spray.

5. Shaving exfoliator.

Exfoliating your skin before and after shaving will do wondering! Instead of buying $10.00 sugar scrub I made my own! I used honey, brown sugar and coconut oil. This makes your legs very smooth and you will feel like you never ever had hair there.

I hope my cheap beauty hacks will help you be successful on your journey of being on fleek!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
