As satisfying as it is to get ourselves beauty products and treatments, the #treatyoself moments can burn the bank pretty quickly. So if you’re in the need for some TLC and are a Barbie on a budget like me, then you can replicate your spa day right in your own home! These DIY beauty hacks will leave you feeling refreshed after a long day, and are super convenient and affordable!

1. Erase blackheads with baking soda & orange juice.

This mask is a quick fix if you have clogged pores that need to be cleared fast. Mix one tablespoon of orange juice with one table spoon of baking soda, and apply the paste to your skin. Leave it on for twenty minutes, and then scrub it into the skin if you want some exfoliation. Rinse, and your pores are squeaky clean!

2. Use baby powder as dry shampoo.

3. Mix sugar + coconut oil for a quick lip scrub.

4. Use a credit card to get the perfect cat eye.

5. Use peppermint oil to plump your lips.

6. Fix dry mascara with your bra.

Sounds crazy, I know. Just stuff your mascara tube into your bra while doing your face makeup, and your natural body heat will warm up the tube just enough so that it loosens up the formula and prevents flaking/clumps.

7. Stick spoons in the fridge to depuff your eyes.

Leave them in for five minutes and apply under your eyes!

8. Make your lipstick last all day with translucent powder.

9. Use oil to remove stubborn waterproof makeup.

10. Spray bobby pins with hairspray for all-day hold.

11. Use mascara/eyeshadow to spruce up your hairline.

12. Use a spoolie to scrape off dry mascara.

I talked about this in my 5 Things You Can Do With a Spoolie article, but this is an awesome hack that will save you the smudgy mess of cleaning wonky mascara.

13. Use dental floss to push out blackheads.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
