For gorgeous #iwokeuplikethis wavy hair- I leave my hair in like three or four french braids on DAMP hair overnight. In the morning I hit it with the blow dryer and let them finish setting while I do my makeup. 8am = slayed

Coconut Oil As Lip Balm

While you're taking your makeup off with coconut oil, take a small dab and put it on your lips! It's a surprisingly tasty and effective lip balm.

Coconut oil as moisturizer

Basically, just pour coconut oil over your entire life. Trust me.

Blend Foundation/Contour/Highlight All At Once

Instead of blending out three seperate steps, blend it all out at once. You'll use less of each product and it'll be less cakey.

Always forgetting to take your makeup off at night?

If you always forget to take your makeup off and wake up looking SUPER scary, put your makeup wipes on your pillow in the morning so you CANT miss it when you go to get in bed in the morning.

Curled Hair in a Flash

Put second day hair in a high ponytail and curl small pieces. Let the curls cool and then take your hair down. Spritz some dry shampoo and hairspray.

Fix Your Messy Mani

Swipe on some vaseline around your nail bed before you paint your nails so you can easily wipe off mistakes.

Dry. Conditioner.

So we have all been there, it's day four or five of dry shampoo and your hair has lost it's ~luster~ so just spray some dry conditioner in and boom, who is to know you dont have freshly washed hair.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing.
