Hello Beautiful People,
 
Out of curiosity am wondering, how much do you wear to the beach make up wise ? Do you wear any at all ? What about hair (yes am aware this isn't on topic) , do you completely style it even is you know your going to get wet anyways ? What do you think about this ? :D
 
Hope to hear from you soon !
 
May God Bless You ! !

Hello Beautiful People !,
 
As far as I know homecoming for most is coming up very soon ! My school's homecoming is actually this Friday. Am not going though, but anyways, I thought it would be cool to make a tip on this. This tip is to helps you look your best whatever the situation maybe. Some factors like dancing, sweating, outdoor homecoming dances (like my school is having), humidity, and just time wear can push your elasticity of your make up. Hopefully, you won't have any major mishaps, only minor. :)
 
Hope this helps !
 
Okay, Let's get started.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
1.) Sweaty Arm Pits: Okay, so this may sound silly but, you do want to make sure you keep smelling good and dry in this department through out all your activities. To make sure you stay smelling fresh, you can buy a travel size deodorant of your favorite kind. If your kind of feeling moist under their, you can get toilet paper, or a toilet seat cover to soak up the unwanted sweat. Also, spraying some of your favorite scent every else on you, wouldn't hurt either. (remember to use a light hand though with your spritzer)
 
2.) Shiny Skin: If your mattifying primer didn't really last the night, make sure you bring in your clutch, some blotting papers, & if you don't have that at hand then again, use toilet paper or a new toilet seat cover to blot your face. (p.s- Milk of magnesia, is said to be a wonderful mattifying primer, look it up on you tube, no joke. :D)
 
3.) Runny Eyes: Make sure you use waterproof eyeliner and mascara, if you still experience those pesky smudges, you can carry some Q-tips that have make up remover in them that they are selling now, or get regular Q-tips and bring your eye makeup remover with you. This makes for clean eyes & no smudges. (Also, as a prevention method, set your eyeliner with an eye shadow matching the eyeliner color.)
 
4.) Sweaty oily scalp & limp hair: You can bring with you in your clutch a mini travel size dry shampoo, which will dry your scalp up leaving you nice and fresh and make it more lively and cleaner.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
That's it ! I hope you have fun at homecoming & or any other events these tips would be any help at. :D
 
Have Fun ! !
 
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ! ! ! !

Hello Beautiful People !,
 
So, this set is going to be about my night time routine. which is basically everything I do before I go to sleep to get ready for the next day.
 
Let's get started !
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
SHOWER : First, I go and take a shower why of course ! :D I use Hello Hydration Shampoo by Herbal Essences, then condition with Dove cucumber conditioner. Then, I wash my body with whatever, body wash I end up buying in the month or so. Right, now though am using a body wash by Lever 2000 and it this really good smelling cucumber and aloe vera body wash, and it's suppose to be moisturizing for your skin, again it does smell wonderful, not like one of those heavily scented body washes, it's just right ! :) Then, sometimes I shave too, and I would usually use the Gillette Pro Skin Razor with Gillette Satin Care Shaving Cream with aloe vera, these products are what makes my shaving experience on my sensitive legs more pleasant. :) Then, when am done I just dry myself up.
 
AFTER THAT : Right, when I get out, I go and apply my anti- frizz serum in my soaking wet hair. The frizz serum I use is John Frieda's Frizz Serum (extra strength formula for my thick frizz hair). Once I apply a few pumps of that all over my hair, I then, brush out my hair then put it in to a ponytail and a headband.
 
FACIAL ROUTINE : Once, my hair is up I go and wash my face using Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser (For Normal to Oily Skin). Then, I exfoliate with St.Ives apricot scrub. :) Then, I dry up my face.
 
MOISTURIZING : After, all of that I completely, moisturize my face, arms, legs, neck, & chest with Lubriderm Daily Moisture (lotion) for Normal to Dry Skin.
 
And am done for the night and I head off to bed :D
 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
And that's my Night Routine & I hoped you enjoyed !
 
Have Fun ! :D
 

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ! ! ! !

Hello Beautiful People ! ,
 
Ready to learn how to tease your hair ?
 
Well then, let's get started ! ! :D
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
What you will need :
 
- A comb or brush
- Hair spray
- And other styling tools possibly
- And dry hair :)
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

Steps:
 
1.) Start out with freshly washed but, dry hair. Also, make sure you brush out your hair really well and rid it of any knots. *If you tease your hair when wet or tangled, you can have a chance of causing breakage, tearing, and damage to your hair.*
 
(Note: After you take a shower, drying and blow drying your hair upside down can cause the root of you hair to lift up and give you more volume.) :D
 
2.) Take a section of hair about 2 in wide at a time and make sure all you other hair doesn't get in the way. (you can just clip it back or put it in a low ponytail) You can take a smaller section (1 in wide) and this will give you a more stiffer tease and volume.Me personally, I think sections may be better since your teased are will be easier to hide that way. (Note: if you have really silky hair that doesn't stay teased, you may want to spray a little hair spray on the area your going to tease before, this will help you out.)
 
3.) Lay your brush gently flat against the back section of your hair. The brush should be several inches above the scalp. ( A comb will work too, but, it may not be as gentle)
 
4.) Lightly brush in a downward motion to the scalp while continuing to hold the brush in place. Repeat this until you have the desired volume for your section of hair. (Curlier hair will take less effort to tease) And if you need to spray a little hair spray on your teased area before you put the section of hair back down.

5.) Now, cover your teased section by spreading your remaining hair over it and enveloping it in a kind of little pocket or fold of hair where it is concealed and hidden. (lightly brush the un-teased hair with the lightest touch of your brush using its very tips of you don't compress and ruin you under laying teased section.)
 
6.) Put teased hair section aside carefully as you work on other sections.
 
7.) Blend your teased volume with your already styles hair. (its best to straighten or curl your hair before you do any teasing)
 
8.) You can finish of your style with a shine serum to calm your hair a bit but only gently run it over your teased section so it will look more natural, and blend in more and look more sleek.
 
8.) You can finish your style with hair spray it needed.
 
9.) And your done ! ! :D

Hello ! Hello !
 
Hey, you guys ! Its been awhile !
Am back with another tip ! And a very delicious one at that ! Enjoy ! :)
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

~Let's get started ! ~
 
What you will need ! :
 
3.5 ounces dark chocolate, 1 cup whole milk, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, 3 egg yolks, 3/4 cup sugar and 1/8 cup heavy whipping cream.
 
(ice cream maker, small pots, whisk, mixing spoon, bowls)
 
* You will get about a little less than 1/2 quart.*
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
How to make it :
 
In a small pot melt the chocolate and set aside, you could also do this in the microwave. In another pot stir together the milk and cocoa powder, bring to a low boil then remove from heat. In a bowl whisk together the egg yolks. Add a couple of tablespoons of the hot milk mixture and whisk together. This will temper the egg yolks so they don't cook too quickly in the hot milk. Now add the egg yolk mixture to the hot milk, add in the sugar, melted chocolate and whipping cream. Stir until smooth. Pour into an air tight container and refrigerate overnight. Pour in to your ice cream maker and follow the manufacturer directions for use.
 
(If you want the ice cream to be more soft then use the ice cream maker; if you want it to be more dense then, just freeze it overnight)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Ta Da ! ! Now your done !

Hello Beautiful People ! ! ,
 
If anyone has noticed, sorry for not writing in awhile ! I've already started school that's why! So, am just here on a Saturday night writhing this tip ! :D
 
I decided to make a tip for the first time thats a little bit about me :) or my "personal preference, and or opinion". :)
 
This is my top Favorited skin care "regimen" that helped completely transform my skin! ( I used to have really bad acne) I don't use everything anymore since my skin has changed an I've added one that fit my new skin at best. You'll see what I mean ! :)
 
Let's get started !
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

About my skin :
I used to have Acne prone and very VERY terrible oily skin ! ! And my skin is very sensitive as well !
Now, though, my skin is not really oily anymore; its more on the dry, normal - ish, skin type with few oily occasions .... mostly if I don't wash my face or something when I stay home. haha. And no, I don't have dry peeling skin all over my face ! What I mean it my skin just tends to feel once and awhile slightly "tight" feeling around the mouth and eyes, so, nothing obvious, it's just I can feel it. I blame the occasional dryness around my mouth on proactive ! That was way to harsh on (what I didn't know I had at the time) my sensitive skin ! It even left a huge dark mark around my mouth but, Thank God ! it has faded dramatically and now you don't even notice it ! STAY AWAY FROM PROACTIVE ! ! ! Anyways..... So, I don't know how to really categorize my skin, but, I think you understand how my skin was and is. :)
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

My Favorites ! :
 
1 ) Cetaphil Daily Facial Cleanser for normal to oily skin : This is my very favorite facial wash that I still use to this day ! :D It does what facial washed are suppose to do, just simply cleanse your face ! Their are a BUNCH of facial washes that have ingredients you can find in spot treatments, and apparently they promise to help reduce acne. This is why I have a problem with those facial cleansers : 1 ) when you think about it how much of the medication will really stay on your face after rinsing with water 2 ) Some will stay but, won't have a major impact most likely. 3 ) Your face does need a break once and awhile from the strong spot treatments people and constantly put on; your face can actually break out form irritation no matter how much medication you slather on ! ----------------- Anyways, this is one product that helped reduce my acne & didn't irritate ! Cleanses well, and I would recommend this to anyone ! :)
 

2 ) St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub : This is yet another product that I still use to this day and have used for awhile ! This is the main product that actually keeps oily away. It of course helps with acne as well and exfoliation beads are very nice (nothing harsh or no small beads that barely do anything for you). I know most people say you only exfoliate a few times a week but, I exfoliate almost everyday and night *gasp*, sometimes not the weekends though, but, I always for surely do so, before doing my makeup (its just what works for me). The only time I don't exfoliate is when I just got a was then, I for surely wont that night. ( Yes you heard right I get facial waxes; Nufree is the best if you want your hair growth, length, & thickness to reduce dramatically) Anyways, this scrub gets you baby soft smooth skin as well !
 
3 ) Lubriderm Daily Moisture (fragrance free or sensitive one) : This one I just added to my skin care routine, they have different types but, this is the best body moisturizer (yes, I use this on my face) I have come across in awhile ! It is another brand (like cetaphil) is really good for sensitive skin. I don't wear it completely under my makeup since I don't need it all over my face, but, I do put a tiny bit on the dry areas around my mouth and eyes so, it won't crease or feel tight. If you use this on your hands every time you wash them they will become very soft ! :D (I carry a travel sized one in my school bag ! :P )
 
4 ) Oxy Clinical Stop Treatment : This is the very best spot treatment I have tried ! This is stronger though since it contains benzyl peroxide. So, do not over do it ! follow directions, & Once and awhile skip a day of two not using it so, you can give your face a break. Then, you can start again for a few more days then stop, if you use it right and for awhile your skin will change fast ! And keep up with it until you feel your don't need it anymore ! I have an unopened bottle just in case but, I haven't used it in a long time ! Because a few pimples isn't a big deal compared how I used to be. I would really recommend this !
 
5 ) Cetaphil Moisturizing cream : I used this more when I used my spot treatment regularly. This would be a big help to apply to my skin at night time to just moisturize my skin to make sure it isn't dry for the next day :D. I don't use it as much anymore but, it is a great night cream ! Not to wear under makeup unless you were to maybe get the tiniest amount and apply it to wet skin then it could work ! :D
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

Okay, those are my top skin care favorites ! I hope you got something out of this article and I honestly do recommend all these products ! :)
 
Have Fun ! !
 

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ! ! ! !

Hello Beautiful people ! ,
 
As we all know not only is School back in session but, Fall is approaching ! !
 
This set is inspired by the coming season, and I thought I would make outfits not only inspired by this but, also that would be appropriate for school. Of course, you can tweak a few things to fit your personal style cause of course this is just for inspirational purposes. I hope this gets you brain stormin' though :D.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
About the outfits :
 
1 ) The first one is more of a laid back, cool, and relaxed type of style that simply give you effort less style.
 
2 ) The second one is more girly, sophisticated, & slightly preppy; that's more put together.
 
3 ) The third one is more based on autumn colors, & has that adventurer type of look to it that you can expect to see someone to wear while taking a stroll in the park, while jumping in piles of orange leafs. :D
 
4 ) The fourth one is actually my favorite ! This one is very much relaxed but, also edgy and fashion forward that is in a way pretty effortless as well. :D

HAVE FUN ! !

Hello Beautiful People ! ,
 
So, I know it usually takes about 4 to 3 days for me to make a tip and it has already been 5 ! So, I really need your HELP ! :D Plus+ I want to make sure am making Tips you guys would like to see ! !
 
Are their any tip requests you would like me to make for you ? Or any questions you can use a little advice on. If so, feel free to comment or PM me !
 
I Hope to hear from you soon !
 
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ! ! !

Hello Beautiful People ! ,
 
We all know not only is everyone stocking up on school supplies but, also, on new clothes for back to school. I always like this part of back to school shopping because, not only does it give you an opportunity to change your style a bit, but, its nice just to have new pieces of clothing of course ! :D I hope this helps whoever that reads this tip to not only stock up on clothes but, to discover new stores hopefully !
 
Let's get started ! !
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

1 ) quicksilver.com : This is a really great store for those who like really relaxed, beach themed clothing , almost like pac sun but, better in my opinion. The down side though is am usually a medium and I knew I had to get a large since someone that told me that when they shopped their they had to get an extra size larger than usual. You can also, just check the sizing chart to make sure which size would fit your measurements the best ! And their clothes aren't the cheapest so, this would be the other down side but, they have really nice clothing and maybe it wouldn't hurt to splurge on one or two things right ? Don't worry though, their not like those stores that sell a plain white tee for like a 100$ !!! -.- ......
 
2 ) TJ Maxx : If you want to get your hands on designer brands but, without the price tag this is the way to go ! This helps you look stylish and buy more clothes for less ! I really like this store :) They are always every few days or weeks having new clothes coming in, so its always new stuff, this is because they get the leftover of clothes that weren't able to sell by the original retailer, so don't be surprised if you find only one shirt of its kind in that store. They also usually separate the clothes by size so, you can stay on the sizing range that's best for you. This is a really good store to check out.
 
3 ) Burlington Coat Factory : You may have already seen their commercials , but, they are very similar in the same concept like TJ Maxx. Get lots of stylish designer clothes for less !
 
4 ) Modcloth.com : If your in too unique & vintage clothing this is the site for you ! ! They have very unique and spunky clothes, shoes, & accessories to choose from. The pricing isn't that bad with most of the stuff they have there; its defiantly a site to put in your favorites.
 
5 ) Gap or Gap.com : This is actually my very favorite store ! They always have the softest tee's, & this is the one place I always have to stop at when I go shopping. Am a big fan of comfortable solid tee's and this is where I got most of my t-shirts last year. Of, course just to add they have way more stuff to look at online then in store like most places. Am sure you are bound to find something you like & the plus side is they are very reasonably priced in my opinion. :)
 
6 ) Thrift Store : I personally don't shop at the thrift store but, I have heard from others that they have wonderful clothing pieces that they have found here so, if you want to shop there go for it !
 
7 ) The Mall : Ha ha well this ones obvious but, I thought I just add it just because, since this is another good place to go shopping for back to school. ;D
 
8 ) delia's or delias.com : I don't always get shirts from here but, in my opinion they have the best jeans. This is the number 1 place where I go for when am in need of a good pair of jeans ! : )
 
9 ) Macy's or macys.com : I haven't bought any clothes from here yet but, I plan on it ! :)
 
10 ) Dillards or dillards.com : I don't really buy clothes here often, kind of like how I don't shop often at macys either, but, I do buy most of my shoes at macy's and Dillard's; may not be the cheapest but, they will last a long time ! Am sure if you look around though you can find some cute clothes, I just haven't recently so, I can't say anything.
 
11 ) Converse.com : Obviously, a brand that everyone knows and likes (or at least most people). Am always into buying their special addition or unique shoes there. They defiantly make a statement ! :D
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 

Have Fun !
 

MAY GOD BLESS YOU ! ! !

Hello Beautiful People ! ,
 
Am back at ya with yet another tip !
 
I Hope this helps you in any way with your back to school preparations ! :D
 
Lets Get Started !
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 
To me these are the main things I think girls should carry in their school bag and some to also take in your gym bag :)
 

1) Your main school supplies : This one's obvious ! Make sure your prepared for each class. Or usually for the first day you will only need a journal and some writing tools.
 
2) Germ -X : You just never know when your gonna need this; whether theirs no soap in the restroom or you touch gum under your desk or chair ! Gross ! !
 
3) Perfume or Body Spray : This is in handy after gym or if you just want to smell more fresh !
 
4) A Hair Brush : This will help keep your hair in control, for fast ponytails, & to brush out knots on windy days.
 
5) Deoterant : This will come in handy for after gym (Especially, if you still have gym in the middle of the school day, or worse, like how I used to have it 2nd period ! -_- ) Or, just to refresh , or before you sweat for extra protection.
 
6) Wipes : When I used to have gym 2nd period, I would carry wipes so, I won't feel sticky and so, I wouldn't worry about smelling the rest of the day what so ever ! ( Even, though I would put more perfume on & reapply my deoterant ) & to wipe off make up mishaps ! :)
 
7) Bobby Pins & Ponytails : They can come in handy when your having a bad hair day, to keep your hair out of the way for gym, & on humid days
 
8) Tissues : These can be good for keeping the nostrils clear ! haha and, when you have a cold, if you need to wipe your hands or something else. :D haha (Am pretty sure you know how to use them ! I just felt the need to explain ! Haha)
 
9) Make-up Bag : You just never know when your gonna need to touch up. Or if you just like to add a bit more like, eyeliner, lip product, & powder so you can look fresh like in the morning.
 
10) Girly stuff : So, you can be ready for that time of the month and such !
 
11) House keys : If your usually the first to get home your gonna need this unless you get picked by a parent and such and don't need to take the bus.
 
12) Your Cell Phone : Only use this after school Missy ! !
 
13) IPod or MP3 : Only if your allowed to use this after school then, you can keep your self entertained while waiting for your ride home. (Unless you, drive already then, don't use this not, your phone or anything. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD ! ! ! ! )
 
14) Chewing Gum or Breath Mints : To keep your breathe fresh but, only use if your allowed ! ! :)
(Yes, I have been called a goody goody and am okay with that ! :D HAHA )
 
15) Glasses : If you wear contacts this will come in handy just in case, you lose one or one rips.
 
16) Retainer case : If you wear one than this would be good to have.
 
17) Hand/Body Moisturizer : To keep your self all nice and baby soft ! :P
 
18) A small mirror : So, where ever you are, if you feel like you need to check your self for what ever reason this will come in handy !
 
19) Your Wallet : For what ever stuff they sell at school like food, drinks, snacks , & anything else.
 
20) And anything else, you may personally think you need ! :D
 
P.S
All this stuff is optional, not everything may apply to you.
 
Have Fun !
 
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ! ! !
