Your best hair ever!

After: Biotin and pantene beautiful lengths

Hey Lovlies,

well I guess its been 4 weeks no heat! It was definitely challenging to find hairstyles that looked good and made me feel good. I guess I will start with my hair care routine ie: what was working for me and what isn't anymore.

I started out using pantene beautiful lengths shampoo but I had to stop using it because it was making my hair really greasy. Greasy hair means everyday washing, and of course we all know that everyday washing equals extremely dry brittle hair. I tried a variety of products that i had read reviews about online. I do take biotin 1000mcg twice a day, which i think helped my hair grow the pictures above are the before and afters so its up to you guys to decide. My routine that I posted below is every other day excluding the weekends. You'll notice sunday I use a coconut oil mask on as a deep conditioning treatment.

"It is with a heavy heart that we share with all of you that Talia has earned her wings at 11:22am.''

 

 

 

When I read that tweet on Talia's twitter feed my heart dropped. I had been following Talia for awhile and found her inspirational and so courageous, more than I could've ever been with such a prognosis. Talia touched so many peoples hearts and souls, she will have lived more of a life than I will have lived 50 years from now. My heart sank when I saw Mattia's heartfelt video about her sister last night it was truly touching. People are saying Talia lost the fight to cancer, in my opinion Talia fought that fight and she won, she won because she's no longer in pain or stuck in a hospital room. To me that is truly winning.

 

I will miss you Talia.

Pretty little liars Spencer Hastings makeup tutorial

Hey Lovelies today I have the third part of my pll makeup tutorial list. To view Emily and Hanna's click on there names!

 

Spencer always looks very natural in her makeup to contrast her statement preppy outfits. I think she wears the least makeup out of all of our liars.

 

 

1. Apply a eye primer, I know urban decay has some good ones. But I'm sure you could find a good drug store product

 

2. Apply a light eyeshadow across the entire lid. I am using Sephora's peach beige no13. As a highlight color I will use the color virgin from my urban decay pallet. Highlight the inner corner of the eye and the brow bone. Again using my naked pallet, I am going to take the darkest color and using it on the outer corner of the lid.

3. Using maybellines liquid liner I am going to make a quick swoop across the eye, I will go over it once it dries with urban decay 24/7 glide on eye pencil. I will also use this on my waterline and using a small amount on my lower lash line than blending it.

4. using fleur power on my cheeks it will brighten up the look alittle bit

 

5. I am going to darken up the edges with a rosier toned lip pencil from stila,I believe its called rose.

So that's it,

bye loves

Pretty Little Liars Emily Fields makeup tutorial

Hey Lovelies,

Coming to you today with another PLL makeup tutorial. Today were going to do Emily Fields, to see my Hannah Marin tuorial  click here ! Ok, so lets get started:

1. Moisturize and prime with stilas One step correct, this will get your skin toned and even for makeup application. Use Maybelline Fit me Foundation and a clean foundation brush or freshly washed hands to apply it downwards and outward.

2. Apply concealer over and under the eyes and wherever additional coverage is needed. Im going to be using Cliniques Redness Solutions, then set it with a powder.

3. Emily always looks sunkissed, im going to apply a bronzer in a e shape along my face to give it a glowy look, you can also put it along the bridge of your nose. Than use a peachy blush and guide it along your cheeks. Blush should always be two finger lengths away from your nose.

4.. Using a synthetic bristle brush or a clean finger, apply cream eye shadow in Tattle Tale to the lid up into the crease-this will intensify the powder eye shadow you apply on top of it. Apply Bali eye shadow to the lid and up to the crease, following the natural shape of the eye socket.

5.Using NARS Eye Liner Pencil in Black Moon, starting at the outer lashes and working your way in, apply a thin, tight line to the upper lashes. Drawing the line thinner as you reach the inner corner and tear duct. You can go over the line to smooth it out, even out any mistakes, and make a slightly thicker line on the outer edge if desired.

6.Use your black eye pencil to dot and deposit color between the lashes on the lower lash line. You really want to deposit the product at the base of the lashes, making the lashes look thick and lush and further defining the eye. This is a simple trick for making the most of your lashes, without an obvious line. Tap over the dots of black with your finger or a q-tip if you deposit too much. Practice makes perfect.

7.Fill in lipswith any honey color.

Braces update!

Hey lovelies,

I was requested to do an update on my braces on pinterest as to what was going on. So lets get started, first off no I didn't get them off yet unfortunately but I'm hoping I will soon. I have a couple of teeth on the bottom that are really stubborn and on top of that I have extremely thin gums and have been trying to avoid a gum graft with my pristine dental hygiene. So this appointment they decided to keep going with a loose chain on top ( those are the colorless ones that you don't get to pick), I also got my teeth shaped into a more square and aligned position. My front 2 brackets were also kind of crooked so they removed those and realigned them which felt so cool!

So those are the bracket free teeth, I was honestly surprised at how white they were still after three years of having them! My orthodontist didn't even get mad when I told him I hadn't been wearing the headgear, I mean he actually felt pretty bad that I was 14 and still in braces. He finally agreed to give me elastics next appointment which is amazing and wonderful and I just want to run into a field of flowers.

 

I'm so happy that there's a chance of getting them off some what soon and am so excited. I cant wait to show you guys the final product when there off.

How I deal with stress

Hey Lovelies,

 

 

Even though its summer I still have lots of stress in my life. Things that stress me out include my parents, exercising, and anxiety.

 

1. Paint my nails

 

I find painting my nails calms me down. I especially like finding cool tutorials on pinterest and trying them out. The biotin has really made my nails grow which makes nail art much easier to do and a lot more fun.

 

2. Watch Netflix

 

I can usually find a good movie or a fun tv show to distract me from things. If im really mad or upset this usually takes me out of the situation and gives me something else to think about instead of dwelling on things.

 

3. Go outside and swing on my hammock

 

I have a forest behind my house so the trees swaying helps me just calm down and take a moment for myself. Taking a moment for yourself often is really important, it gives you time to breathe away from everyone and just take a moment.

 

4. Try a new makeup look

 

I sometimes choose a weird or different type looking makeup look and just try it out. Its fun to pretend your not yourself sometimes. Theres always some cool thing you can try.

 

5. Try yoga or pilates

 

I recently found this girl on youtube named Blogilates, I like her Victoria secret workouts or her pilates for beginners videos. They are hard to do but very rewarding. When I workout hardcore it lets me release my anger and instead of screaming or yelling. Its just a great release.
