So, lately, I have been hearing a lot of "I'm stressed" or "I'm tired." Trust me I understand. Between, classes, work, organizations, and those of you who have children I am sure that we all have our fair share of chaos and stress. So when people tell me that they are stressed my answer is to go relax!

But it seems that a lot of people simply just do not know how to do that! Many are worried about money and time. I have created a list of 11 things to help you relax. I am here to tell you what to buy and how to use it. And don't worry, everything is under $15 and you do not need a lot of time to this! Just sit back and relax.

1. Bubble bath

The first step to relaxation is going to a quiet and calm place. What's more relaxing than a warm bubble bath. You can even buy a pack of bath bombs for $1 at the Dollar Tree!

2. Exfoliating glove

Use this glove to help refresh your skin. You'll feel like a brand new person! But don't over exfoliate.

3. Body wash

Use body wash on your glove in order to get the best results. A good way to maintain moisture is to always lather up with bar soap and use body wash as well. Your skin will be super soft!

4. Deep conditioner

After you are done with your bath the next thing is a great deep conditioner. When you have clean and soft hair you feel like a great person. The Dollar Tree has two deep conditioners that I swear by! They are called " Simply Shea" and "Daily Defense" They have great slip for all my natural sistas! Go give them a try.

5. Plastic cap

The plastic cap is, of course, to cover your hair while you're conditioning. If you're anything like me you will just use a plastic grocery bag but these a great as well!

6. Coconut oil

Coconut Oil is the best thing ever! You can use it to cook, in your hair, and on your body. If you use it on your hair remember that it is not a sealant oil it is a moisturizing oil. But in the case of relaxing use this oil your body to keep your skin nice and soft after exfoliating.

7. Candle

A good smelling room can help you relax as well. At the Dollar Tree, they have many different scents all for a dollar of course! They even have candles with different layers with different scents!

8. Headband/shower cap

We are coming up on our face! So in order to keep your freshly conditioned hair out of your face pick up a fleece headband or a shower cap. The headband can also be used while doing makeup.

9. Face mask

Next is our face! Dollar Tree has many different face masks for many different things. Decide which kind you want or grab a few! And when you're done slap some coconut oil on your face to retain the moisture.

10. Gel eye mask

This mask is perfect to sleep in or even if you just want to get rid of some bags under your eyes. Pop it into the freezer for 10 minutes and then keep it on until it's no longer cold anymore. Your face is going to instantly be relaxed!

11. Snacks

Lastly are the snacks! The Dollar Tree has every candy, chip, and drink that you could ever want! So treat yourself and get those Mamba's you've been dying for! Or even some ice cream. Turn on your favorite movie or that show that's been sitting on you DVR for the last three weeks.

These 11 things in this order are how I relax once I start running out of steam! Write down list and stop by your nearest dollar tree after you leave work tomorrow! You won't regret it! Everything on this list can be found at the Dollar Tree. Stay strong and remember not to over work yourself. You need to relax every now and then. So I dare you to go out and try this! Let me know what you think!

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. 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.
