Makeup: Easy way to tell if you're warm toned or cool toned!

If you're warm toned, you're going to have a more tan, olive look to your skin. Therefore, you can tan without sunscreen & not burn. If you're cool toned, you're going to have fair, light skin. You can't tan without sunscreen or else you'll burn. Also, if gold looks better on you than silver, you're warm toned, if its silver you're cool toned. If you have a very beige color to your skin, and you only burn in some areas, then you're neutral, like me! Lucky you!

Fashion: Clothing items EVERYONE should have in there wardrobe!

1. A basic white V neck: They can be accesorized with necklaces to add a little bit of flair. Or you could pair a cute blazer or cardigan over it, you can get basic V necks from anywhere! No one will tell if you go cheap!
2. A leather/faux leather jacket: It can be worn over simply anything, and can make a simple day look transform into a night look. It's great for back to school. Cheap ones at H&M
3. Camis: You CAN wear them under pullovers for lazy days, or could layer them for hot summer afternoons. You can also wear them under crop tops so your tummy isn't exposed! Also on V-necks, since they're straight neck, if a vneck is too long on you, you can just wear a camisole under! You can get them at bluenotes and aeropostale.
4. Skinny jeans: They're basic but stylish, you can dress them up down and around! My favorite is light demin wash, a pair of jeans that fits you like a glove will never go out of style!
5. Little black dress: Worn for ANY special occasion, it's been with us forever. It's worth the splurge!

If you have anything to add, go ahead and comment. I might do like a little "list of things i have in my closet" for inspiration ahahaha.

Daily Life: Shopping!

Gosh, we haven't posted in a while, now have we? Well, were going to start up right when school starts and do outfit of the days in pictures! Great, right? Anyways, I just shopped till i dropped (seriously, i tripped on the elevator, LOL). Back to school shopping, of course! I will be doing a post soon on things EVERYONE should get. One of them is hoodies, it's worth the money, especially if you get more of a higher end one like PINK, Hollister, Abercrombie, Adidas, Lululemon etc. One thing is (tell this to your parents) you'll wear it pretty much all the time, if you've wore all your clothes, or its laundry day you can just wear it over anything AND it can be layered under vests or jackets for cold fall or winter days! I got one from PINK and i love-love-love it! I went to Garage, Stitches, Bluenotes, H&M and PINK! My dad paid for most of the things i got so i called it "Spoiled Day" and my dad calls it "Get-it-done-before-the-last-minute-day". Look out for new posts!

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!)
