Beauty Tricks For The Broke College Girl

Juggling school, work, organizations and trying to have eyebrows on fleek everyday is truly stressful. I have always loved cheap DIY beauty tricks and since being in college, I have a routine. Who would not love beauty tricks that make you look amazing and are super cheap?

1. Use Nair for blackheads.

Nair for the face is the easiest way to get rid of those stubborn nose blackheads. You just apply some Nair over your nose and let it sit for five to 10 minutes and then remove the Nair. Once it is removed wipe your nose off and find a hard card to push down on your nose with and the blackheads will begin to just pop out. It is very gross but interesting!!

2. Plump lips.

Nooo, my beauty tip is not to do the Kylie Jenner challenge lol. To get your lips to be bigger naturally all you need is cinnamon, cayenne pepper and vaseline. First, apply the a thin layer of vaseline to the lips. Then, dab on the cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Immediately after this your lips will burn but remember beauty is pain. The longer you leave this on your lips the more plump your lips will get. This will only last for 24 hours at the most!

3. Removing makeup.

Removing your makeup is essential to life! Don't you ever go to bed with your makeup. It is absolutely damaging to your skin. So being a broke college student led me to running out of money for makeup remover -- saddest day of the year. Good thing my mom brought my coconut oil for my dorm and this blessed my face. I use this religiously to remove makeup and it works so fast and leaves my skin smooth.

4. DIY setting spray.

Not anymore you aren't! Making my own setting spray changed my makeup experience for the better. I can't be spending $40 on setting spray every time I run out, so I made my own. With the help of the internet of course! I mixed warm water and Aloe Vera Gel and mixed until the Aloe dissolved, this kept my makeup on just like any other setting spray.

5. Shaving exfoliator.

Exfoliating your skin before and after shaving will do wondering! Instead of buying $10.00 sugar scrub I made my own! I used honey, brown sugar and coconut oil. This makes your legs very smooth and you will feel like you never ever had hair there.

I hope my cheap beauty hacks will help you be successful on your journey of being on fleek!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
