Three Things to Try This Week

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Colgate chapter.

 

  1. A Spring Color On Your Toes

Spring has sprung…at least according to the calendar! Although it’s still pretty much a winter wonderland up here, you never know when shorts and sandals weather (AKA above 50 degrees) will hit. And when warmer weather finally shows up, you don’t want to be stuck with sad, unpainted, and boot-hardened winter toes.

So head downtown, or gather your own supplies, and treat yourself to a pedicure!

Essie’s new Spring 2013 Collection has some great toe colors, but might be tough to find in Hamilton. My advice: try looking for them on Amazon instead!

   

     2.  Organize Your Desk

It’s spring-cleaning time and if you’re anything like most dorm-dwellers, you tend to accumulate quite the collection of non-academic objects on your desk.

-Throw out old pens

-Toss out junk/trash/old papers

-Clean out your g-mail inbox

-Organize drawers

-Put your makeup back where it belongs

-Sort loose papers and notebooks in a magazine file

-Rehang those three shirts you tried on before going out but didn’t end up wearing

 

While you’re at it, empty out all the receipts, business cards, gum wrappers, and pens from the bottom of your purse. 

     3.  Shimmer on the Inner Corner of Your Eyes

Make your eyes sparkle and look like you got your full eight hours of beauty sleep by adding a little bit of shimmer to the inner corner of your eyes. This is my favorite eye makeup trick and it’s super fast and easy. Just make sure not to over do it!
