Current Cravings: Hair Extensions

I've recently been OBSESSED with hair extensions and looking them up. I want to get 12" Remy ones SO BADLY. If your not familiar with extensions, Remy means human hair, so you can curl it and flat iron it etc. Which ALSO means you can shampoo it and condition it and it will become thicker. I saw some at Sally's for like $25.00 so before school starts, I am going to save up my money and get them. If I get 12" ones they will fall to about 4 inches above my waist. I am going to go to a different city next week and i will have *NO WIFI* which really sucks because I use the computer for 4 hours at minimun every single day. Later today I'm going to be doing a summer wishlist, like things i wanna get before school starts, so look out for that!

2 tips for a quick fix

1. Don't ever put ice on your pimples or face-unless you are about to wax your brows .. Ice may seem all cold and harmless, but thats not true. The ice will actually burn your skin, giving you red patches and swelling. The cold water from the ice removes all the oil off the area you place it on, thus drying your skin overnight and leaving you with patchy, red & blotchy skin the next morning. I also want to add that if you rub ice on your face before cleaning your face you'll trap the dirt and sebum into your skin

2. Who doesn't want to have a pearly white smile? I know i obviously do. This is what I do every 2 nights to get my teeth white and staying white! Take two strawberries and mix & cut them until they are nearly liquid. And then, taking a teaspoon of baking soda into a bowl, place the mixed strawberries into the baking soda and mix them even more. Now, this part is optional, but i also like to take a pint of natural lemon juice. Then, mix them all together and pour the mixture into a cup, and gargle it in your mouth as you would like mouthwash, and spit it out. Afterwards, brush your teeth with toothpaste. Your teeth should be bright & white in less then a week. And there you go.. :D woops sorry if my smiles personality stunned you, hehehe

Hope you enjoyed my little "2 tips for a quick fix" post that Miki & I will be doing a lot now. If you have any other quick tips you would like to add you can leave them in the comments below

Being Green!

The next time you go to a grocery store or mall, take your own bag. It saves the environment and really, who likes grocery bags? NOT ME! Oh, it also gives you an excuse to buy a cute tote bag. Or you could just use a random one you find at home. That's your next excuse when you see that super-cute tote.

How to keep your face flawless throughout the entire summer.

You know those days when you wake up with an oily face? Especially during summer since its Haute out. You have to remember to wash your face off with water at least 3 times a day. And then you know, maybe the next day you'll wake up with a huge pimple or blackhead? Take some egg yolks and honey, stir in a bowl until completely mixed. Then, spread it on all your pimples, blackheads, scars etc. Leave it on for 10 minutes (an additional 5+ minutes if you have super oily acne prone skin) and wash off with warm water. I guarantee you will have better skin (and you'll be tasty too!)

Nude lips without nude lipstick!

A lot of people (including myself) are fans of the nude/skin color lips. And there isn't any brand that gives you that look. But there is a way to acheive that look. Liquid foundation. Saw that coming? But it legit looks like the real nude lips. My favorite is Maybelines Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation 
I reccomend staying away from powder foundation because that can be drying and hard to apply. But with liquid foundation, you simply put a pea-sized amount onto your index finger and basically rub on your lips like you would like lipbalm. Oh, lipbalm. Put lipbalm on first so it doesn't look dry. And finish off with a clear lipgloss. How easy was that?

Transforming your whole day look from day to night (And still looking Haute!)

High stilettos have become very popular since it's summer, whats good is that you can wear stilettos day or night, especially with a tank. For the daytime look you can wear your favorite pair of black stilettos, a tank and a pair of jean shorts, then during night time, you could pair it with a leather jacket and replace your jean shorts with dark demin skinnies, because even though the day is hawt (literally, they're are cute boys everywhere) it still gets chilly. Also when wearing a white tank top, stay a way from light demin wash jeans, it'll mash together and won't look flattering. Transforming your hair is also super easy. I like to straighten my hair during day time and put in an inch headband, then later after the event is over (whether its work or school or just a day with the girls) i'd put my hair roughly into a 1 hour curl bun, go home and change and quicky do my makeup, then i'd go to wherever i need to, this is good if you only have an hour or so to go home drop all your work/ school stuff and do whatever it takes. For makeup i usually just do my whole foundation/concealer thing, blush, nude lips and mascara. Since it's summer i don't like wearing a lot of makeup since it can sweat off. But during night time i'd do a quick smokey eye and some eyeliner on the top and half way down to my waterline, I'd also take a slightly red lipstick.
