For my fellow college students, especially those starting their freshman year, these are some dorm decoration ideas for you. Also, you'll notice a lot of these are Etsy links. I believe in supporting small businesses and artisans, so I hope these are to your liking.

If you like this list, please follow my food account on Instagram! @beth.badatglutenMy Celiac Disease was diagnosed four years ago and I am still navigating through it all with gluten-free substitutes. A lot of these meal preps are really easy to make with one free afternoon of focus. As a college student on a budget, I can't spend every day cooking as much as I want to. I'll add more to this list as I navigate my first full school year without a dining plan.

I have eczema and used to struggle with acne, so I rely a lot on these products to be kind on my sensitive skin. Additionally, I get breakouts from an autoimmune condition. It's really important that I moisturize and exfoliate my face a lot. These are all items I've tried myself or sampled in the store. Hope you enjoy!

As a former crystal lover, I am linking purchases that I've made and also ones that I wish I had!! Crystal collecting is admittedly an expensive hobby so I've included budget-friendly options as well as the ones to splurge on.

These decorations are perfect for all ages. Bedrooms, living rooms, classrooms, dorms, office break rooms, and more! I tried my best to be accommodating of people who don't celebrate Halloween, since I know churches feel that it is demonic.

I am very fortunate to have my first car at such a young age. That being said, I think it's really important to let my personality shine through so that it becomes a welcoming space for my friends and family. These are all items I've purchased OR considered but decided to budget a little.

All of my hair phases were partial highlights done at a salon! Copper, orange + money pieces, and red (current)!!! I am NOT a certified hair stylist. These products worked for me in the past.UPDATE 6/28/26: ugh, some of these links are broken now… but i'll keep them here as a way for you to know what products to buy.

Take advantage of the upcoming Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday sales! (Writing this on Nov. 15). Here are some cute options. I wanted to be accommodating to people on smaller budgets, but there are also more extravagant options for those who are wanting to SPEND in such an expensive holiday.

As someone who has studied in Seattle for the last two years, I've done a very good mix of touristy and local activities. There's a first for everything, including watching the salmon migrate, or watching the sunset on the Pike Place waterfront.

Favorite local spots on da rock. < 3I barely go to the North Shore since it's out of the way for me, therefore, you will not see any NS recommendations here.

Went to NZ in March 2025 and December 2025! Two weeks total, had a rental car. When we went in March, we jumped around hotels in Auckland, Tauranga, and Rotorua in order to be closer to the destinations we wanted to see. In December, our trip was slightly shorter so we stayed in Auckland the whole time and committed to 2-hour car rides in all sorts of directions. I'd love to go back someday and see the lupines in full bloom but that has to be a whole other trip because they bloom on the South island!

While this isn't the most extensive list in the world, I wanted to provide quick and easy links for last-minute purchases! The 4th is coming up veryyy soon! You should be able to celebrate with affordable and durable materials. This is why I included a lot of Target links-- they're fast and reliable. I feel like most Americans have a Target near them (or idk) Have a wonderful 250th anniversary, y'all.

Happy Spooky Season! These are all adult costume ideas for college parties, trick-or-treating with your families, costume parties, dress up for work days, etc.Many of the more unique costumes are from Etsy because we should do our best to support smaller businesses!No general theme here. Many outfits included.

These are some vacation looks inspired by TSITP, mainly Season 3, as all other looks are completely sold out or out of season by now. - As of September 2025!!!
