Happy Monday, collegiettes! I hope you have a mini-vacation from classes today and have time to try out some of these Pinterest Picks. This week is all about changing up hairstyles, delicious (and easy!) treats and some tips to make your lives easier. Enjoy!
First up this week are S’mores Truffles from Liesl’s Confection Dissection. These delectable treats are all chocolate, marshmallows and graham cracker crumbles. These truffles are a no-bake dessert that is a perfect pick me up or snack to share. I know my roommates and I will be making these soon!

Up next is the Best of Shoulder-Length Styles from The Small Things Blog. I’ve featured Kate and the small things blog on Pinterest Picks before for her DIY Shellac Manicure and now she is back with some great styling ideas. I’m waiting for my hair to grow out again and I have started to get restless. I contemplated cutting it again until I found this pin! Her tutorials are really easy to follow and are full of great tips and tricks! Which style is your favorite, collegiettes? Tell me in the comment section below!

I know after Nemo last week and the freezing temperatures of the weekend, I have been wishing for summer and to me, nothing says summer more than lemonade. My favorite is by far the Passion Tea Lemonade at Starbucks. Luckily, Funky Polkadot Giraffe shares a copy-cat recipe to make at home! Her instructions are easy and allow you to customize the drink so it’s perfect for you—I like mine with a splash of apple juice for sweetness! What do you think of this recipe?

Have a friend with a birthday coming up? Will your singing voice make them cringe when they listen to their voicemail? The Meta Picture has a solution. This picture shares the numbers to hit on your phone’s keypad that will play happy birthday! I wasn’t a believer so I tried this out on my roommate without telling her what to expect when she answered the phone. It definitely worked because she began to laugh and looked at me like I was crazy because it wasn’t even her birthday.
