We know you probably don’t go out every night like you used to in your college days. (Or maybe you’re still in college, and this guide will prove to be your nightly go-to guide?) But, it’s still nice to glam up and go to a movie, a nice party, or a Broadway show that comes to your town. When these special events happen, it’s easy to feel a bit stuck. Do you fix your hair like you always do for work? Or, should you try something a bit different? Should you just head to a salon, convinced you can’t create something equally as pretty on your own? Well, we have those answers for you.
This year, forget about expensive hair treatments and going to the salon for pricey up dos. When it’s time for a night out on the town, all you need are some hot rollers, bobby pins, and a little hair spray. These tools can help you create a pretty, natural (and we swear, easy to create) style that will be the envy of any party you attend.

But, we also know that organizing an entire house is overwhelming. So here’s what you can do – start small. By just de-cluttering one tiny area, you will feel accomplished and energized to tackle another space. Of course, we can’t think of a better place to start than your make-up bag.

Makeup brushes are one of those beauty items where you can easily splurge or save. Of course, the decision to invest in a more expensive, name brand set versus a drugstore set is entirely up to you. If you’re curious whether or not the investment is worth it, you can always purchase a highly rated foundation brush, like the MAC 190 foundation brush ($32), and then buy less expensive brushes for your eye shadow, blush, or bronzer. This will help you to tell the difference between various brush brands without spending a fortune. It will also allow you to better understand if one is better for your skin type than the other. Everyone is different, so a little “trial and error” experimenting is in order.
