How to save $$$ on books — by Unknown on

Spring semester is here! And new classes = more expensive textbooks L

Here are a few ways you can save!

1.       Utilize your school’s library

A lot of college students seem to overlook the library. Yeah it’s a great place to get homework and studying done but it’s also a gold mine for books. You never know, the library might have your text book hidden away on its shelves. Ask your librarian to see if they have it! If the library is a no go…

2.       Share

If you have a buddy in the class, split the cost of the text book. Depending on your school’s policies for photocopying, you can photocopy the pages you need for homework. It’s a great way to save money, but if you hate the idea of sharing…

3.       Rent if you can!

Renting is a whole world cheaper than owning the text book. This is great for classes that don’t necessarily pertain to your major (my liberal arts school folk!). You can rent a $200 book for only $40. Your school’s book store should have this option or try Amazon.com! But if you don’t want to rent…

4.       AMAZON!

I love Amazon.com for buying literally anything. And as a student, if you sign up with your school email, you can get 6 months free of Amazon prime (yay 2 day shipping!). You can not only rent from Amazon, but you can find your text books new or used. Another great thing is you can download e-books to your kindle or kindle app. This is great if you are in a bind and need a book ASAP. If Amazon doesn’t have what you need…

5.       Chegg

Not only do you receive a free Redbull with your order, but you can save 80% off of rentals and 90% off of used books. That’s way too good to turn down!

Thanks for reading!

Nicki Minaj and Meek Mell ? Is it True? — by Unknown on

Looking at Nicki's instagram, the two look more than just friends.

I mean I'm not mad if that is the case, but really Nicki, Meek Mill out of all?

I believe she can do way better, but hey it's not about looks.

Maybe he is really down to earth, maybe he's not like his lyrics.

 (Meek Mill kissing Nicki's Cheek )

Or maybe this can be a publicity thing for more music, who knows. I have to be happy for Nicki because I love her. But this one decision she has made has my mind all confused.

I'm not even sure what else to say other than I'm happy for them, if this is the case.
What do you guys think?
Can she do better?

SS15 Hair trends for Spring/Summer — by Unknown on

Here are the four most wearable trends for the warm weather. I found some cute and affordable alternatives to these trendy styles.

Backwards headband

http://pretty-hairstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/2015-Hairstyles-From-Paris-Fashion-Week-3.jpg

From: Valentino

The cool thing about this style is that it gives your old headbands from middle school life again. Instead of wearing headbands to keep your hair back, you can place your headband at the back of your head and wrap your hair around it. Add some natural waves and you have a messy, beachy half up/half down look in minutes. Experiment with different head bands...flowers, seashells, rhinestones…etc!

What I found:

$4.90, Forever21.com

 Flowers

From: Dolce & Gobbana

Flowers, as seen on the lovely Kendall Jenner, are going to be in this summer. H&M sells pretty faux flower clips to keep your hair off your face or dress up your bun. Forever 21 sells a pretty and minimal flower headband for those who are offset by big chunky flowers. If you’re really into this trend, make like a runway model and put real flowers in your hair!

2-Pack $3.95, H&M

$3.90, Forever 21.com

Gilded clips

http://www.hairromance.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/celine-5.jpg

From: Celine

Simple barrettes and clips rocked the runways. The elegant shape is not only unique but also a lot of fun. I was able to find different shapes in silver and gold. Urban Outfitters has an awesome silver triangle clip and a beautiful half circle gold clip. Keep your hair up and out of your face with these neat hair clips.

$12, UrbanOutfitters.com

2 for $20 or $12 ea., UrbanOutfitters.com

My fave!

Scrunchies are back with vengeance! Play with colors and sizes! Pony tails or messy buns! Scrunchies are great for adding a little quirk to your style. Check out this set of scrunchies from Forever 21.

 Who's excited for the warm weather?!
