What Is the Diva Cup?

It's for that time of the month and we have been wrapping our heads on how it actually works.

Wedges Every Girl Must Have This Summer!
Wedges are a absolute must-have in the warm seasons! You can wear them with everything and anything and you can either dress them up or down- honestly, however you want to! There are many different styles of wedges though, so unless you have a endless amount of coins in your piggy bank, it's probably best to invest in a couple different styles of wedges that you can wear with almost everything!
Here are our top 6 picks on must-have wedges of this 2016 season! When it comes to color, definitely go with either white, tan, or black- this allows you to match it with literally every color you can think of.
Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday! xo

The BEST, Cheapest Mascara
We know we have gushed about mascaras before, but this new one shared by Kappa Alpha Theta alumnae and San Diego Weather Anchor & Reporter, Kristen Keogh, takes the cake...or rather, takes the MASCARA. A lot of awesome, eyelash lengthening mascaras cost a pretty penny, but thanks to Kristen, we have found an awesome mascara that offers coverage, length, and doesn't burnout your wallet. It's called Boots No 7 Maximum Volume Mascara.
Try it out and let us know what you think!

Things To Do To Celebrate Your Anniversary
Love is always in the air and if you're like us, we really enjoy having some versatility in our relationships when it comes to celebrating anniversaries. Do something fun or out of the box as every milestone in a relationship deserves some attention, right? Below are some of our fave ideas.
- Plan a trip out of the country. How fun would it be to make memories in a different country with your beau? Don't fall under the trap of "we can't afford it!" With businesses like Busabout, you can now travel in an affordable way.
- Take a cooking class!
- Go take a hike - literally! The Grand Canyon or places in Colorado and California are our fave spots to go on an adventurous escapade.
- Consider glamping at Joshua Tree.
- Take a cruise
Think there's more to add to the list? Leave your suggestions in the comment's section below!

Dating Apps - Dos & Donts
We are big fans of dating apps as we have had so many friends find great success with them. We even wrote a post about our favorite dating apps (click here to read it!). On the flip side, dating apps can present some dangers so it's important to keep these three things in mind when meeting anyone you've met via these apps:
Have fun!
- Save any texts/emails you've exchanged with the person you're meeting up with. In case anything should happen to you, the police and friends and family can trace you through the text messages.
- Don't give out your personal info. We would even go so far as to say don't give out your Instagram or Twitter handle. It's important to keep that personal information under wraps until you really know the person on a deeper level after several dates. Build that trust first!
- Meet in a public place. Meeting in a space that is private can pose a lot of risks so be safe and meet in a space where people can see you. This can diminish any funny business!
Have fun!

Beach Essentials for 2016
Some of you have already had your Spring Break but for those that haven't, here's a little beach essential list for 2016! We always go to the beach and forget one of these items, so we made it for you so you can pack up for the beach or pool and not forget a thing!
1. Sunblock - you can never forget this guy! Even though you want to get a tan, don't forget to put sunscreen at least on your face so you don't get wrinkles in the future. It's really important to take care of your skin, and sunscreen is your solution to that!
2. Sunglasses - so you don't blind yourself out in the sun, duh!
3. Tangle Teezer comb - for those that have fine hair, the chlorine or the sandy beach water can really get your hair up in a tangle! Can't forget your comb or brush. We really love the Tangle Teezer comb- try it out!
4. Beach Towel - so you can dry off, of course. There are so many cute beach towels out there so make sure you pick out a cute one for this beach/pool season!
5. Tanning Oil - Though you want to wear sunscreen as we stated above, you still want a little sun kissed glow! Use some tanning oil on your legs and body to get that perfect tan!
6. Portable Speaker - We LOVE music and it totally changes the vibe of the atmosphere, so you can't forget your portable speaker!
7. Swell Bottle - The S'well bottle is a great water bottle to have as it helps your liquids stay cool for a long, long time! They're also so cute and Instagrammable, which is a plus!
8. Book - Well you gotta have a book or magazine to read when you're out laying out. It really is the perfect time to catch up on some good reads!
9. Swimsuit - so you can go in the water, of course!
10. Tote - You need a cute tote to put all of your beach essentials in! There are so many right now, so be sure to snag a cute tote before they're all gone!
Hope everyone has a wonderful & safe Spring Break!

Our Favorite Photo Editing App
We all have our personal preferences when it comes to the way we edit our photos- especially for Instagram. It helps us make our photos looking 10x better as well as achieve the perfect look & feel! We've had our fair share with playing around with different photo editing apps and we've come to the conclusion that there are pros and cons to EVERY photo editing app!
Either they have amazing filters, but their adjustments tools aren't just up to par or the app's user experience is amazing and so easy to use, but the editing & adjustments tools aren't quite the best. Can't we just get an all around perfect photo editing app?! At the end of the day, these apps are all so different, because they are designed to create different aesthetics for different people with different styles.
We personally love VSCOcam! The user experience might not be quite the best, because the app is designed very minimally, but the filters (presets) are absolutely amazing and it just takes a little bit of work to create the style you want. There's a reason why a lot of BIG Instagrammers use VSCOcam as well as most professional photographers!
Give it a try for at least a week and tell us what you think!
