In the spirit of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show tonight, I thought it would be fun to discuss a few tips and tricks that the winged ladies use to make them as bombshell-y as possible.

1. Drink Water.

This should already be plastered in your brain as it is quite essential to just being healthy in general. However, it is extremely important to drink the right amount of water and stay hydrated to efficiently plump your skin and display that classic VS glow.

2. Exfoliate your skin.

Probably the most important step of practically crowning a halo on your head. Not only using one on your face, but using a body exfoliant helps with making your skin smooth and ultimately flawless. Some of my favorites are Origins Modern Friction, First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Polish, Frank Body Original Coffee Scrub, and Lush Ocean Salt.

3. Face masks as per usual.

This year the Victoria's Secret models sported probably the most luxurious face mask you could think of, a 24K Gold one. The Mimi Luzon Gold Mask is quite luxurious in price as well, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. A newer VS model, Sara Sampaio, wears it above.

4. Moisturize.

This also not at all being a secret, is one of the keys to beautiful skin. A moisturizer branded in France, is one of my new favorites as well as a certain VS model's. Romee Strijd, the covergirl of this article, talks below about Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentrè, the phenomenal moisturizer that even triples as a cleanser and face mask in one.

5. Don't go too crazy with your makeup.

The selling point of the bombshell look is that it looks fresh and flawless, not cakey and flakey. Some common threads of the angel face are beautiful bronzed cheeks, smudged smokey eyes, and soft pillowy lips.

6. Go with the whole bed head, beach babe hair - it works.

Besides the face and the bod, every angel has the perfect, not-perfect hair. To achieve this look, at least from my perspective, there's a few things you can do. First, when curling your hair, curl to almost the end, but leave out an inch. This way when you run your fingers through it, you get more wavy, less spirally. Then, you need need need a texturizing spray. My all time favorites are Dry Bar Triple Sec 3-in-1, Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray, and IGK Down & Out Dirty Spray. They just do no wrong. Simply spray them on your roots and fluff your hair as you go for that kittenish, bombshell look.

7. Exercise.

This is probably a no brainer, aside from whole-fully dieting, to achieve the how do you look like that figure. From what I've noticed a lot of the models, do more lean, lengthening exercises like yoga, pilates, and barre, rather than bulking, heavy-lifting exercises. This way your body becomes stronger using your own resistance and body weight, resulting in a toned, admirable physique.

8. Eat healthy.

It will definitely be hard to achieve a health goal if you are feeding yourself otherwise. You don't have to starve yourself, become vegan, or only eat snacks to be healthy. Just know what you're eating and eat in moderation, as well as listen to your body to become more nutritionally aware.

9. Be confident.

If you think the ladies walking down the runway each year are shy and self conscious about their bodies, you are far from true. You cannot seem great to others unless you truly believe it about yourself!

Here's to your own angel wings (or maybe chicken wings- it is Monday)!

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.

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.
