Ahhhhhhh, the holidays. Candy, cookies, parties, and fabulous hair do’s. But sometimes fabulous hair do’s can be hard to pull off. I mean have you ever spent an hour on some fancy braided hair do only to find that it’s completely not right? I have. So here’s a simple hair do, that is still graceful, without being crazy.
- Make a part down the center of your head, then take 1 small section of hair from each side.
- Twist the sections of hair together.
- Now take a smaller section of hair from 1 side and wrap that around the twisted “rope” of hair you have.
- Take another small section from the other side of your hair and wrap it aroung the “rope”.
- Secure with an elastic arounf the middle of the rope, so you can see the twisted strands.
So be graceful and not go crazy, with this easy holiday hairstyle.

Lash curlers can be a real hassle. They can cost tons of money (seriously, who needs a gold plaited lash curler!?), and have you ever
Who knew that by just changing the way you applied mascara could leave you with wonderfully curled lashes.
piched your eyelid skin by accident? Not fun! And I’m sure we’ve all heard the “hot spoon against your lashes trick”, but ig ou guys are as clusmy as me, you probably don’t want to be pointing a hot spoon at your eye! Talk about an embarrising trip to the emergencey room. Plus has that tip even worked for any of you? But I have a new little tip that won’ possibly lead to you stabbing yourself in the eye, and works!
Try applying your mascara a little differently-
- Take the mascara brush and place it at the base of your lashes.
- Wiggle it a little, this will coat and reach every lash.
- Now twirl the brush upwards, spinning it as you go.
- Next, well there is not next, your done!
See wasn’t that easy? And mosly risk free? So live saftely, and with curled lashes, by just applying your mascara slightly differently.
Now that fall is gone, along with thanksgiving (by the way, you can tell me how yours was in the comment section below!), it’s time to think winter. But uh oh, if your anything like me, you haven’t even been thinking winter at all lately! And the last thing you want is to be wearing last seasons nail polish! But don’t worry you don’t have to freak out, because I’ve already found the perfect nail 
polish color, that will be fabulous all season!
Next time your at the your local drugstore, CVS, or Walmart, pick up a nice sparkly color. “Sparkly?”, you may ask. I thought this winter was all about the dark and drab? But in a sea of dark blues and purple, a nice sparkly color is just what you need to stand out! Try going for one that has actually sparkles in it, because other wise it’s just another shimmery nail polish, and those are so last summer!
So sparkle this winter, with sparkly nail polish

Winter means dry. Dry skin, and worst of all, dry hair. Nothing can ruin a pretty day more then dry, brittle hair. And those fancy
An olive oil and egg yolk hair mask makes hair shiny, soft, and helps to get rid of frizz.
salon brands? They cost all the money you’ve been saving up for gifts! But with all the dances, and parties, you neeed soft, touchable locks. But how? Just take a look inside your kitchen…
For a hair mask that works, you need an olive oil and egg yolk hair mask.
- Take a bottle of extra virgin olive oil, and pour 1 cup.
- Crack open an egg, and seperate the egg whites from the egg yolk.
- Whip the egg yolk with a fork, or any other utensil of your choice.
- Mix the egg yolk and olive oil well.
- Heat it up in the micro wave for 10 seconds.
- Apply to the scalp and work down to the ends. Apply extra on the ends because they tend to be the driest and most brittle part of your hair.
- Leave on for 30 minutes to an hour.
- Wash off thoroughly with a moisterizing shampoo.
- Blow dry, towl dry, or air dry, and feel the amazing softness.
So get great, soft, party ready hair, all with the ingrdients you have in your kitchen!

I know your probably wondering, “what in the world can I use thats in my kitchen?!” well the answer my surprise you. Lemon juice. For some of you who are long term readers of my blog, you may remember my earlier post about lemon juice, and how it can remover stains from your nails. But this magical juice can also provide a practicly magical peel! Remeber to always start off my washing your face with warm water.
1. Take then end of lemon and squeeze its juice into a spoon. Cut a fresh slice of tomato.
2. Next dip a cotton ball or a folded peice of paper towl and dip that in the lemon juice.
3. Apply the lemon juice all over your face
4. Leave on for 15-20 minutes and then wash off.
5. Now apply the tomato juice to sooth your skin. Leave for 20 minutes before washing off.
Now I’ going to warn you, the lemon juice stings! And if you have been picking at a pimple or have been peeling some dry skin, please don’t put the lemon on that patch of skin, I learned that the hard way!
So have clear, bright, beautiful skin, all for around 4 dolllars!

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.
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.

I hate when I get a pimple, it’s one of the most annoying, confidence-busting things in the world. It makes me
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
- Wash your face with warm water, not hot, that will only irritate the pimple.
- Rub heated extra virgin olive oil in to your skin for a few minutes
- Wash off the extra virgin olive oil and dab (not scrub!) your face dry with a clean towl or paper towl.
- Next take some oil free moisteriser and apply it ont the blemish.
- Cover the blemish in oil free foundation.
- After apply concealer with a pointed brush. If you don’t have one apply with a clean finger tip.
- 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.
Makeup, fashion, and me.
