I Went to Morphe's Store

And here's how I review my purchases

I Went to Morphe's Store

A brand made famous by YouTubers and instagram influencers, has a permanent store at the Water Tower Place in Chicago. Being skeptical about online make up purchasing (namely for skin tone and product pigmentation issues), I had never tried the brand myself - but I was no stranger to it. Even the most novice Beauty Guru follower (not unlike myself) would have to be living under a rock to have never heard the brand's name or their reputations - particularly with brushes and eyeshadow pallets.

My first thought upon entering the store - after getting greeted and being told about Christmas Eve sales, was pure shock for how cheap the products were! I was in the mall on Christmas Eve to buy concealer as I was running low, and was actually on the way up to Sephora to restock on my trusty Naked Skin by Urban Decay, but I saw the Morphe store instead. Very strategic placement, on their part. In here, concealers only cost $9!

A make up artist helped me match my skin tone and showed me the effects of various undertones on my skin. After purchasing, and now using the product, I can say that it has the same consistency as the Naked Skin, perhaps even more full of a coverage. However, I felt as if the Naked Skin blended into my skin tone a little easier, achieving a more natural finish. In addition, this one has a matte finish that I'm still getting accustomed to, but think looks great nonetheless.

I also bought their famous Continuous Setting Spray, under an awesome deal - 2 for $22. I can already tell I'm going to love it as it leaves the faintest of mists - my guilty pleasure is going overboard, being consumed by the hydrating feeling of a good setting spray. Since this one is so faint, yet refreshing I for see myself using it quite liberally.

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.

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.
