Hey there! Thanks for checking out my FIRST product review video!

Marcelle BB Cream Golden Glow

Alba Botanica's products are made with 100% vegetarian ingredients. They have NO parabens, phthalates, harmful sulfates and they DO NOT test on animals. I really admire Alba Botanica for these reasons, however, I needed to test some of their products out to see if they would be good enough to add to my everyday skincare/makeup routine. Unfortunately, though the results weren't the worst, I don't think they have enough coverage/potency for my person preference. But it is good to know what low-toxic beauty products are out there!

I also reviewed a couple sample products I received from a Birchbox, which were the Coola Cucumber Sunscreen, made from certified organic extracts, and the Marcelle BB Cream in Golden Glow, which is perfect for sensitive skin and is also oil‑free and fragrance-free. I fell in love with both of these products, so I definitely recommend them!

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.
