When I woke up one morning and saw my friend was choosing a few friends to give free starter-boxes for the popular FabFitFun subscription service, I wasn't expecting to be one of the people she picked. I had heard a ton about the popular service over the years and I was always interested in knowing if it was worth it or not. The service is $49.99 a month and you receive 8-10 full-sized products that retail for a total of around $200.

Since mine was a free starter box (I just had to pay $5 for shipping) I got four products that retailed for a total of $133. These are the products I got and my feelings on them.

1. Original Makeup Eraser in Pink

I absolutely love this product. It's a great alternative to makeup wipes and cotton balls. As a more sustainable option, this reusable makeup eraser can get rid of even the strongest waterproof mascara. Just add water and you're good to go!

2. Tarte SEA Drink of H2O Hydrating Boost Moisturizer

Tarte has always been one of my favorite brands and they did not disappoint with their SEA drink of H20 hydrating boost moisturizer. As someone with combination skin, this really felt hydrating without making my skin feel greasy. It's lightweight and blends easily. Will definitely repurchase in the future. Oh, and it's vegan!

3. Nails Inc. Thirsty Hands Mask Duo

I got a pack of two of these hand masks and I'm so happy I did! With winter right around the corner, these masks will hydrate my dry, cracked hands from the cold. Using plant extracts, shea butter, and vitamin E, my hands will be moisturized, smooth, and free of any dryness.

4. Summer & Rose Celine Crossbody

This bag is such a great addition to my bag collection. I tend to really lean towards crossbody bags and I've never owned a steel-colored one. It's made of vegan leather and will make a great staple for the upcoming months.


So, is it worth the hype?

I'd say so. You get great products at a reasonable price for the retail value for the total of everything. I got a great mix of stuff and really introduced me to products I'll want to splurge on in the future.

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.

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.
