Finding a beauty routine is never easy. I can be quite hard-going from nothing to going all-in because it can be hard to readjust your time for these extra steps and remembering to do them, and it can get expensive when you buy all the new products at once.

Whether you are a beauty pro or a newbie and foreign to the whole beauty world, we all can agree that the small things make a difference in our lives. These five things can easily be added into your everyday life, help amp up your beauty game and make you feel like you have your crap together! And who doesn't want that?!


1. Always have your nails done.

This may sound like a daunting and time consuming task, but this really isn't all that hard. You can purchase cheap nail polish of any color if you're on a budget or pamper yourself at the nail salon with the perfect manicure for your needs. It doesn't matter if it's a natural nude or a bright color with patterns. It's about what you want. All it takes is less than an hour every few weeks for five-minute touch ups in between. You will be surprised how much confident fresh painted nails will give you. It'll put a little pep in your step and give you one more reason to remind you that you're a boss.

2. Always moisturize.

This may seem like an unnecessary step, but no matter your skin type--dry, oily, mature--your skin needs to be moisturized every day. Purchase a facial lotion that is directed for your skin type and use it anytime you cleanse your face, and always before anything else is applied. You will see immediate differences. Your skin will be plump, healthier, brighter and have a natural glow. You will see less breakouts and problem areas so you can redirect that self-consciousness out the door, because you are radiant and glowing.

3. Always bronze.

Bronzing can be so under rated, but it is a mandatory. Bronzing brings life and the natural warmth back to your face while shaping and giving dimension. Without it, with just your foundation and concealer, you can easily look washed out and even sickly. Just a little bit of bronzer to your cheeks and temples can complete change people's first impression of you. Plus, who doesn't want to channel their inner bronzed goddess, J-Lo?

4. Always have a go-to lipstick.

Each person has their own unique skin tone, undertone and then their own personal preferences. So experiment and find a go-to lip color, whether it's a nude or a vivid red. Throwing it on to make yourself look pulled together within minutes and boost your confidence.

5. Always have a necklace.

A necklace can immediately dress up any outfit. You can have on simple t-shirt and add the right necklace, and the outfit totally changes. It helps pull your outfit together and step it up.


The smallest, easiest things can help you look put together within minutes. And it will boost your confidence.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
