Quotes to get through the day.

 My life has been so hectic lately and I haven't been able to post, but today I thought I'd share some quotes with you that get me through days that are tough. :)

Info Info Info!

Hi!! So I just wanted to say sorry for not being on here in so long, but I have great news!

If you didn't already know, I'm a dancer, and my fellow dancer friend and I are traveling to the Big Apple come November! We got offered a gig and we couldn't just say no!! So sometime soon (dates to come) I will be living it up in NYC with one of my best friends while getting paid to do what we love!!! ahh the excitement!!

Secondly, I am a Senior... so college looking is a must. I have been going around on tours of colleges and keeping me super busy!! I think I've found the right one, but I'm not to sure yet! :D Pictures on my google+


Thirdly, My sister's baby is due any time now and we took a trip up to see her and her husband! We even held a baby shower for her which took a lot of planning! It was beyond cute! Pictures to come?


                                                                                                                                                     xx,

The best bow; A Bandanna Bow

   Everyone enjoys bows and now you can have a homemade one. :D 

Fold the bandanna in half to make a triangle. 

Fold the top point down over the bandanna

Fold the top down again and place it so it's straight. 

see? :)

Take one pointed corner and fold it, then take the other
side and fold it over top of the last fold.  Like making
an X. 

see? :)

 tie the the loose ends
together. 

Wrap the ends around the bandanna and tie ends into a
knot

Use the extra end tips to tie a hair thing on it. 

And then you have a bandanna bow! YAY!



                                                     

                                                                                                                                  Enjoy!! xx

Easy, No Heat, Spiral Curls

Curls upon curls upon curls. So you want spiral curls but you don't want to spend the extra time in the morning or abuse your hair? 

Well have I got good news for you! In my last post I talked about a product from ConAir, that is not only comfortable but also easy to use. In three simple steps you can wake up with Taylor Swift inspired curls. 

You will need:

*package of spiral bendy sticks (at any drugstore) *Hair Spray *Bandanna *Bobby pins 

After your shower use anti-frizz sperm in your hair then let hair air dry for about thirty minutes.

Wrap your hair around the stick from top to bottom

making sure your rolling away from your face for curls in the front. :) 

Bend both the top and bottom of the stick to secure your hair. It bends super easy 

however, the hard part is making sure you bend where the hair ends so that nothing sticks out.   

Practice makes perfect!  When finished rolling up your whole head, hairspray

all around. :D 

Fold a bandanna into a triangle. Take two corners, leaving one down

and tie a knot placed at the top of your head. You're doing this to keep your curls 

from frizzing and/or falling out! Tuck the bottom corner under your curls and 

bobby pin the it to your head. (Make sure everything is tight!) 

Fall Asleep, wake up, undo bends, and voila BEAUTIFUL CURLS. 

I flip my head over while hair-spraying to loosen up the curls and create major volume. 

It might take a few attempts to get the curls just right, but I promise you it's worth it! The curls stay in all day with no problem plus you didn't have to fry your hair to get bouncy, beautiful curls. :D Best hair day ever!

Weekend Beauty Haul

 I actually had free time this weekend, so what did I do? Shop of course! I stopped by my local drugstore and picked up a few goodies that I have to share with you! 

Spiral Curlers are one of the best things I've ever bought. I am praising whomever invented these suckers, because they are seriously awesome!! I choose the Conair brand because it had 18 stick curlers in the package and they came with two different sizes. You just twirl your hair around they stick and then bend at the ends. Sleep, wake up, and BAM beautiful head of curls. It's really that easy! I'll show you how tomorrow. :)

Lipstick is such an easy staple for any girl's makeup bag. No matter how simple your eye makeup is, your lip color can always make the simplest of makeup days pop. I picked up Rimmel London's lasting look by Kate in Rossetto number 103.  It's a very dull, matte, pink shade that I find complements my skin tone nicely. I also bought it because I thought it could be used for either a causal look or something formal. Twofer :) 

 I think I'm in love.... Maybelline's Colossal Cat Eye in very black has now become my favorite mascara without a doubt! It adds definition to every lash with just a few coats! The volume you get while still avoiding clumps is unbelievable! Definitely check this product out! 

To add definition to my eyes while still having a natural feel, I have learned that a dark brown liner is better than jet black. Rimmel London's waterproof eye definer in stable 211 has me head over heals. It's creamy color in my opinion is the perfect brown. I also love that it winds up so no need to worry about those pesky sharpeners that never seem to work right. ( or is that just me?) On the other end it has a smudge pen that I strongly recommend using! When you want a natural feel, harsh liner lines are not the route to go, meaning smudging is your new best friend! yay! 

With new makeup comes new substances clogging your pores and I don't think anyone wants that! Pick out a new face cleanser every other month or so, because your skin can adapt to the formula making it no longer work! Want to beat acne? Then pick up clean and clears advantage smoothing acne scrub. It contains salicylic acid which is a chemical that prevents breakouts! However it also contains aloe and avocado so while it's gentle on the skin it still smells good.  Always pick up oil free face wash! Who likes extra oil? Not me!
