Lady Gaga, before and after fame.

Posted by: the1and2and3 on: November 22, 2009

Lady Gaga, she seems to be the only thing the media can talk about now a days. But, was she always so, I don’t know, crazy? The answer may surprise you.

Truthfully, she was always sort of crazy in her music and dress. Here’s an old picture of her before she was really actually famous.

Old lady gaga pictures

Lady Gaga always dressed provocatively, even in her early days.

Back before she was famous and her name was  Joanne Stefani Germanotta, she did still dress very sparingly, but nothing compared to how she dresses now. With her blond cropped hair and her almost pantless wardrobe, she is majorly differnt from the way she dressed back then.

And here’s a more recent pic of Lady Gaga.

Um, looks like someones celebrating the 4th of July a little soon...

Wow. Just plain wow. You see the difference? Bra and panties with chains goes to exploding bra and studded swimsuit ( Is it even a swimsuit? I don’t know what it’s called!).

So know your Lady Gaga, before and after she was famous.

Fake beautiful skin with foundation and concealer.

self conscious and instantly brings me down. What makes it worse is that I can’t figure out how to hide the little sucker, well, not until now.

Here are the easy steps

  1. Wash your face with warm water, not hot, that will only irritate the pimple.
  2. Rub heated extra virgin olive oil in to your skin for a few minutes
  3. Wash off the extra virgin olive oil and dab (not scrub!) your face dry with a clean towl or paper towl.
  4. Next take some oil free moisteriser and apply it ont the blemish.
  5. Cover the blemish in oil free foundation.
  6. After apply concealer with a pointed brush. If you don’t have one apply with a clean finger tip.
  7. Keep applying foundation and concealer until the blemish is covered. Remember, try not to over apply, chances are no one else notices except for you.

So if you don’t have beautiful clear skin, fake it with a little foundation.

One Tip For Beautiful Hair

Posted by: the1and2and3 on: November 19, 2009

Everyone wants pretty hair. But not everyone has it. Here is 1 (yes only 1!) simple yet awesome tip to make your

By conditioning from the ends up you help close the cuticle, which controls frizz, and helps grow longer healthier hair.

hair shine.

What you need to do is condition from the ends up. Yes, I know some of you already know this but it works. And if you don’t know this its the perfect tip to impress your family this holiday season.

When you condition from the ends up it helps your ends, and since your ends are the oldest part of your hair it gets rid of some parts that may look matted and knotty. Also when you condition, you don’t want to get too much conditioner on your scalp because it can irritate the skin on the top of your head and give you dry skin and dandruff.

So show off that shine because now you too can have pretty hair.

How to up your pretty, in 3 seconds.

Feeling like you need a pretty boost? Well I have a tip that makes your lips bigger and your eyes bigger in under 10 seconds

Just some eyeshadow here and there, and bam, you could be a model!

Just take out some gold or white eyeshadow (depending on your skin tone, if your lighter skinned go for white eyeshadow, if your skin is darker go for gold), and pat a little on your cupids bow (that part of your top lip that dips down) and the inner corners of each eye, so its touching the sides of your nose. Gasp, when did a supermodel get here! ;-)

The jumpsuit, hot or not?

Posted by: the1and2and3 on: November 12, 2009

As seen in this month’s Glamour, and on famous bodies everywhere, the jumpsuit (sometimes known as the jumper)  is becoming more and more popular. For those of you who watch the Tyra Banks show (I’m totally addicted!), you might remember seeing her wearing them all the time a while back. But it can be hard to wear a jumper right, and since they’re so new, it’s hard to decipher hot from not, so look below for some examples.

The chunky belt makes this jumpsuit hot! (Not to mention the body wearing it, love you Tyra!

The crazy p.j. pattern and non existent waist made this jumpsuit a not.

The sexy back and cleavage (not to mention a waist) makes this jumpsuit on Gwyneth Paltrow, a major hot.

The thin and short leg on this jumpsuit makes this a not!

Oh and I <3 the romper too!

Nicole Richie looks fabulous in this black romper, but then again, who doesn't?

So look fabulous this winter, and now that you know what’s hot and what’s not, look fabulous in a jumper!

So pretty, and a do-able for 48 pounds.

Olive oil… face wash.

Posted by: the1and2and3 on: November 7, 2009

I absolutely love olive oil. It gets rid of makeup, tastes fabulous on bread, and now it even cleanses my face! I know everyone’s a little skeptical of this, I was too! I mean come on, it oil! But after like a week of research and how my skin failed to break out after I started using it as as a makeup remover, I decided to give it a try.

You don't need a fancy price tag to make your olive oil face wash work it's magic, just rub on a litte bit of extra virgin oil from your local grocier store.

The results are AMAZING. It started clearing up my skin in like 3 days. I’ve even used it as a pimple treater. I put it on at night, rub it in,  and bam, my skin looks 10 times better in the morning. Now there is one problem with olive oil. It tends not to clean my nose at all. It was like the more it cleared up my cheeks and forehead, the more icky my nose got. So how did I solve this? After I wash my face with olive oil I take all of it off and then apply a little bit of rice water to my nose. Problem solved.

Oh, and when you apply the olive oil put it on when your in the shower right after you put conditioner in your hair. Close the shower door and turn it up hot so it steams, that will help open up your pores so the olive oil can really work it’s magic and help it get rid of blackheads.

So look and feel absuloutly radient, with olive oil.

So rock your crazy shoes, because they’re so in this year.

New nail polish color I’m in love with, dark purple

Posted by: the1and2and3 on: November 1, 2009

Summer nail polish colors are all about being bright and perky, with neon oranges and hot pinks. But in the winter time you can match some of your new darker nail colors with you darker wardrobe, and here’s a dark nail polish that I’m especially fond of.

Another thing I love about dark nail polish is that it looks good on short and long nails.

So dive head first into the winter monthes with 1 of this season’s hottest nail colors, dark purple.
