If you’re anything like me, you love awesome beauty products, but hate opening up your wallet to spend all your hard-earned money on them. That’s why I was so excited to see our fave gal pals at CollegeFashion publish this awesome article that shows you how to take normal, inexpensive household items and turn them into a multi-use spa product.

Being a UTI expert (I put that on my business card), I know all about how to deal with them, and one of the MOST important things to me is dressing the right way so you don’t disturb the UTI even more. So here’s what I’ve found to be the best things to wear when your urinary tract isn’t feeling as amazing as usual.

Something just feels a bit off to me about this Marchesa dress. Lea Michele wore it to the People’s Choice Awards earlier this month. I tend to be a seriously opinionated person, especially when it comes to fashion, but I am pretty torn on this one.

If I had a Barbie dream house, it would be the coolest Barbie dream house on the block. Given my financial status, I might have to settle for a Barbie dream apartment for the time being, but I’m just saying, it would still be the coolest. From the bookshelves to the kitchen table, my dream apartment would be rockin’.

Penelope Cruz has been flying under the radar lately, so I was pleasantly surprised to see a photo of her this week looking just as stunning as ever. I’ve always liked Penelope. She seems really grounded and down-to-earth. In addition to her seemingly chill personality, she possesses a classic, chic style that is visually intriguing while still being low-key.

When I first started shopping for appropriate work attire, I stocked up on basics like button-down blouses, classic-fitting slacks, cardigans and pencil skirts in neutral colors. After I was working for awhile, I started adding in more fun pieces like different color skirts and cardigans and fun printed tops. My favorite new item of clothing, however, is my cropped trousers!

Burberry is a luxury brand that launched their own cosmetics line within the last couple years. The products are definitely high-priced, but the quality is also rumored to be superb. I decided to take two Lip Glows (their lip glosses) from their Holiday collection for a spin!

This budget beauty find is by far one of my biggest obsessions: Revlon ColorStay Blemish Concealer. Besides the fact that it’s just $8 at drugstores, it is an extremely handy tool for getting ready. It comes in a tube with an easy-to-apply brush, which I use after my foundation to cover up breakout areas or any unnevenness.

I’ve never been a make up girl. I’ve gone through my phases, of course. My high school emo phase that led to me perfecting my eyeliner-with-smoky-purple-eyeshadow look (oh. my. god. why.).

I know what you’re thinking, “Caitlin, I can’t change my part! I’ll look ridiculous.” False. I have recently switched from my natural side part to a middle part. I’ll give you a minute to collect your thoughts.
