Whether you're starting out a new semester, returning to work or just need some "me time," taking a nice, relaxing bath is the best way to decompress after a long day. Use these bath essentials to make the end of your day the best part!

1. Suction Cup

This neat plastic contraption covers the overflow drain in your bathtub, which means you can finally feel like you're in a relaxing soaker rather than a half-filled kitchen sink. Just place the suction cup over the drain and viola! Bath time is on!

2. Bath Bombs


First it was bath pearls, then it was bath salts, now it's bath bombs. Rather than spending ten dollars a pop on those "fancy" bath bombs from Lush, hit up your favorite online shops like Amazon and Etsy to get more fizz for your buck.

3. Wine

Wine + bath = relaxed. Really relaxed. Just remember to get out of the tub before you take your mid-wine nap.

4. Candles

Who doesn't feel relaxed when they walk into an over priced boutique? Harness the essence of Anthropologie with this favorite hipster candle and slip away into your bohemian dreams with hints of tropical fruits and sugared citrus.

5. Bath Pillow

The wall on the bathtub is hard and unsupportive. Grab this bath pillow and get comfortable for a long, relaxing bath that you won't want to leave.

6. Face Mask

Bath time isn't complete if you don't treat yo'self! Make sure you enhance your spa experience with a face mask that will wash away all the troubles of adulting once and for all.

7. Waterproof Speakers

No spa day is complete without the soothing voice of Michael Buble or nature sounds. Whether you like to pretend you're in the jazz age or a yoga class while you rinse the day away, make sure you do it in style with waterproof speakers rather than that red party cup you should have thrown away after beer pong was over Saturday night.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
