As satisfying as it is to get ourselves beauty products and treatments, the #treatyoself moments can burn the bank pretty quickly. So if you’re in the need for some TLC and are a Barbie on a budget like me, then you can replicate your spa day right in your own home! These DIY beauty hacks will leave you feeling refreshed after a long day, and are super convenient and affordable!

1. Erase blackheads with baking soda & orange juice.

This mask is a quick fix if you have clogged pores that need to be cleared fast. Mix one tablespoon of orange juice with one table spoon of baking soda, and apply the paste to your skin. Leave it on for twenty minutes, and then scrub it into the skin if you want some exfoliation. Rinse, and your pores are squeaky clean!

2. Use baby powder as dry shampoo.

3. Mix sugar + coconut oil for a quick lip scrub.

4. Use a credit card to get the perfect cat eye.

5. Use peppermint oil to plump your lips.

6. Fix dry mascara with your bra.

Sounds crazy, I know. Just stuff your mascara tube into your bra while doing your face makeup, and your natural body heat will warm up the tube just enough so that it loosens up the formula and prevents flaking/clumps.

7. Stick spoons in the fridge to depuff your eyes.

Leave them in for five minutes and apply under your eyes!

8. Make your lipstick last all day with translucent powder.

9. Use oil to remove stubborn waterproof makeup.

10. Spray bobby pins with hairspray for all-day hold.

11. Use mascara/eyeshadow to spruce up your hairline.

12. Use a spoolie to scrape off dry mascara.

I talked about this in my 5 Things You Can Do With a Spoolie article, but this is an awesome hack that will save you the smudgy mess of cleaning wonky mascara.

13. Use dental floss to push out blackheads.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
