Who doesn’t love a little extra sparkle and glimmer? Sequins and foil were flashed all over holiday party looks and New Year's Eve outfits. If sparkles aren’t exactly your thing but you still want that little extra flare, there’s a simple way to fix it.

Whether you’re looking to subtly stand out or your roots are in need for a touch up but you don't have time for an appointment, there’s nothing to fear. Glitter roots are here!

While you won’t see any fashionista strut into the workplace with some jazzed up roots on a Tuesday, it is quite possible this look could make an appearance at a concert, a club or anywhere a little shimmer may go a long way.


To begin, simply part your hair. If you can rock the middle part, I suggest this to assure the best look. Don’t get too crafty with your 2001 zigzag part. The glitter will draw enough attention. If your part is naturally on the side, begin with taking styling gel and combing it from your roots down an inch or two in order to press down the hair. Once the part is perfected, with glitter on hand, gel the same part of your part. Afterwards, quickly apply a generous amount of glitter to the desired areas of your part. Repeat as many times as you feel is necessary to get your dream glitter roots. No need for an elaborate dress because your roots will steal the show.

A few hair washes and several shakes of your pillow will be necessary to get rid of all the glitter post-occasion. Try it while it’s hot. C’mon, we all had colored streaks in our hair somewhere in between middle school and high school or dip dyed it for a hot second. Unless your competition dance team did not allow it (like mine).

Skip the salon and dig into your craft drawer for this look.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
