A Cute, Money-Saving Way To Store Your Makeup

If you are addicted to makeup, you are familiar with the struggle of running out of space to actually put your makeup. This can often lead to some of your favorite lipsticks or eyeliners being misplaced, and that is a heartbreaking thing to even think about. Makeup organizers can often cost a lot of money and not cater to your available space. For reasons like these, a great way to organize your makeup is to simply DIY your own organizers. Here are a few ideas.

1. Glass Containers

Glass containers like these are a cute DIY that require very minimal effort and are great for storing brushes. All you do is find the containers of your liking, fill them with pebbles, beads, marbles, or whatever other filling you choose, label them with stickers, and stick your brushes inside of them.

2. Magnet Frame

This magnetic frame is a great way to organize and store your smaller makeup items. To make this, all you need to do is choose a frame, wrap the back piece with some decorative paper, then buy and stick on mini magnets (such as the ones in the bottom picture) onto your makeup products and the board itself (before covering it in paper).

3. Mason Jars

Mason jars are a classic way to organize just about anything you can think of. One way to use them to organize your makeup is to buy whatever size you'd like and use sharpies to decorate them. You can even draw little faces on them like the one pictured above. This DIY won't cost you more than a few dollars per mason jar.

4. Shoe Organizer

This DIY takes the trophy for the easiest to do. All you have to do is buy a shoe organizer and stuff all of your makeup in the pockets. Could it get any easier?

5. Holders

These plastic holders are simple, but are great because they can be made into a pyramid such as the one above. All you have to do is crazy glue them in the formation you want, let them dry, and place your items wherever you'd like them.

6. Letter Holder

This DIY, just like the shoe organizer one, is as easy as purchasing something and using it for a different purpose. Buying something like a letter holder is a great way to store your eye shadow palettes that lay stacked up on your bureau or vanity.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
