The post Get Ready for the Festival Season With Pinterest’s Top Fashion Trends appeared first on Graduatez.
]]>Several trends on Pinterest’s list are all about putting a dreamy twist on hardcore outfits. “Dark ethereal” has been described as “dark angel meets forest fairy”, and it’s all about wearing flowing silhouettes, sheer-on-sheer clothes, and lace. “Stereo punk” is rooted in hardcore culture, and you can embrace this trend by wearing leather, plaid skirts, and chain belts.
Many of the top trends of this year’s festival season will be rooted in nostalgia. “Freestyle fits” are inspired by the Y2K hip-hop and R&B culture, while “twee aesthetic” is all about reimagining your fave indie playlist as an outfit by wearing ruffle skirts, Peter Pan collars, and retro clothes.
Not all the fashion trends on Pinterest’s list are leaning into nostalgia and darkness. “Main pop girl” craze is all about putting a glam twist on your outfits and drawing inspiration from your favorite pop stars. “Urban wrangler” also made the cut and it’s rooted in the country-themed rodeo aesthetic that’s been ruling Coachella and other music festivals for years.

]]>Adrien Brody won his second Oscar for The Brutalist, and he spent years preparing for this role. His parents enrolled him in acting classes at the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts in his youth, and he eventually attended Stony Brook University and Queens College before dropping out to move to Los Angeles.
Mikey Madison was home-schooled after the seventh grade because her youth mostly revolved around competitive horseback riding. This changed when she turned 14 and decided to pursue acting instead, so she started taking an online young-adult acting class.
Before making a switch to acting, Zoe Saldaña was passionate about ballet and studied forms of dance at the ECOS Espacio de Danza Academy. She later turned her attention to theatre and performed with Brooklyn’s Faces Theater Group and the New York Youth Theater.
Kieran Culkin comes from a family of actors, and he never got a chance to pursue higher education since he was only two when he first started acting. He attended the Professional Children’s School in New York, where he studied theater, film, and television, but dropped out during his senior year of high school.

]]>Most universities have a gym on the premises, and if you still haven’t checked yours out – now’s the time! It’s up to you which fitness program you’re going to commit to, and there are many online workouts you can use to guide you on this journey.
If there are any ping pong tables on campus, you should head there with a friend. Joining a table tennis club is also an option if you’re really passionate about this activity.
Bowling is another great way to stay on the move without stepping into the cold. If you’re looking for a way to destress from schoolwork, invite a few friends to join you and get ready to have an epic time.
If there are any trampoline parks near campus, consider checking them out. Trampolining is another fun activity that can give you a great full-body workout and help you burn some major calories.
Indoor climbing is worth a shot if you want to get a full-body workout without stepping outside. In addition to testing your physical limits, it will also test your perseverance, inspiring you to truly push yourself and never give up on your way to the top.

]]>Eating healthy during your college years isn’t an easy task, but you can make things better by having a blender in your dorm. You can make all sorts of healthy dishes and drinks inside your blender, using such healthy ingredients as fruits, veggies, yogurt, nuts, and protein powder.
Blenders are usually associated with smoothies, but the fun doesn’t stop there. They’re much more versatile than you think, and you can use yours to make everything from protein shakes, smoothie bowls, and oatmeal to creamy soups, hummus, and nut butters.
No matter how small your dorm is, you can easily make room for a blender, as long as you pick the right one. Blenders come in many shapes and sizes, but you should ignore bulky models that take up too much space and try looking for a compact one with a to-go cup that can fit single-serve sizes of your meals and drinks.

]]>Holiday collections are usually created with Halloween and Christmas in mind, but that shouldn’t stop you from using them all year long if you make the right pick. Look for products that come in versatile colors that will be a part of your regular makeup routine even after the holiday season is over.
It’s easy to act on an impulse when it comes to holiday-themed makeup lines. They usually come in attractive packaging and happen to be themed around popular culture, but don’t let that stop you from thinking twice before spending your money on them.
The biggest issue with holiday collections is that they happen to be much more expensive than regular makeup products of the same quality. When you’re a college student living on a tight budget, spending a fortune on makeup isn’t really an option, so limit yourself to buying one or two products that you really like instead of the entire collection.

]]>If you find yourself feeling hungry before bed, opt for a light, healthy meal that won’t interfere with your sleep. Eating a huge meal or greasy and sugary snacks close to bedtime will make it difficult to fall asleep.
Alcohol and caffeine are also best avoided before hitting the sheets. Having a nightcap will make your sleep disrupted, while caffeinated beverages are best avoided four to six hours before bedtime because they can keep you awake.
You’re probably spending countless hours in front of the screen every day, so there’s no need to do it again before bedtime. The blue light won’t do your sleep cycle any favors, so put the phone away about an hour before bed and try to replace social media scrolling with new rituals.
Late-night workouts may seem a good idea when your schedule is packed, but keep in mind that intense exercise will get your body revved up when it should be winding down and preparing for a restful phase.

]]>The foundation of any great cocktail is high-quality spirits. You don’t need to break the bank, but opting for mid-to-high-tier brands can significantly enhance the flavor of your cocktails. Focus on acquiring a good base selection: a versatile vodka, a robust gin, a rich rum, a smoky whiskey, and a smooth tequila.
Equipping yourself with the right tools is the next step in your mixology journey. At a minimum, invest in a jigger for accurate measuring, a shaker for blending ingredients smoothly, and a strainer to ensure clean pours.
Never underestimate the power of ice in cocktail making. It affects not just the temperature but also the dilution, which is crucial for bringing out the full flavor of all the ingredients.
Before creating your own concoctions, master some classic cocktails. Learn how to make a flawless Martini, Mojito, Old Fashioned, and Margarita. These classics will provide a good foundation for understanding how different flavors work together.

]]>Misunderstandings can easily come up when expectations are unclear. What one person considers common sense, another might not think of at all. By setting house rules, both roommates have a clear understanding of what is expected, reducing the potential for misunderstandings.
Living with someone means sharing responsibilities, but without clear rules, it’s easy for tasks to become unevenly distributed. Establishing guidelines on chores, expenses, and space usage helps ensure that responsibilities are shared fairly, preventing resentment from building over time.
Even in the most harmonious households, conflicts can arise. Having pre-established house rules provides a framework for resolving disputes. Instead of resorting to arguments, roommates can refer back to their agreed-upon rules as a neutral ground for discussion. This approach not only helps resolve the current conflict but also strengthens problem-solving skills for future issues.

]]>Searching for secondhand items is one easy way to decorate your dorm on a budget. While you may not want every kind of item in your dorm to be used, basic decor such as artificial plants and some furniture can still appear pretty satisfactory even with some wear and tear.
Even if you’re unwilling to shop secondhand, you can still save some money by uploading your purchases to cashback apps and enjoying some cash back once you’ve spent a certain amount. The amount of money you get back will build up significantly if you continue to use these apps over time.
By placing items you want on your Amazon Wishlist you can track their prices and even get alerted when the items go on sale. This way, you’ll be able to buy the decor you want for the cheapest possible price.
