How To Look Your Best For An Event (Wedding, Prom, Homecoming, Graduation, etc)

Hey guys! I haven't been on here since before Christmas!
I hope the holidays were very enjoyable for you :)

Today I want to talk about how you can look your best for an event
Whether it be your Wedding (or someone else's), Prom, Homecoming, or maybe your graduation. You can use these tips for going to ANY event, because every girl ( and guy) wants to look their BEST!

This will be a 4 week/30 day/1 month list of things you can do to prepare yourself, from as early as a month ahead of the event.

Lets say that the event is a month from today : January 17th, 2014- February 14th, 2014 ( Valentines Day)

These are the basic things that girls do while getting ready for an event:

1. Get a dress,shoes and jewelry 
2. Prep Hair
3. Shave Legs
4. Prep Face
5. Whiten Teeth
6. Tan
7. Paint Nails

Week 4. ( January 17th -24th):

- Get your dress for sure this week! Make sure to get a size dress that isn't super tight on you, unless you plan on loosing weight before the event. But if you aren't planing to, just get a dress that has a little extra room just in case you gain any weight. I suggest Macy's

-Get your Tan. If you want to be tan and you want to go to the tanning bed, make sure to be it a month or more before the event. Go to your local tanning beds.

-Buy Teeth Whitening strips and/ or Whitening tooth paste and use it every day until the event. I suggest (Crest Whitestrips) Strips from Walmart 

- Buy a few face products and start testing them out, or you can try a few at home remedies. Here are a few cool at home remedies for your face, (http://www.womansday.com). And they REALLY WORK!!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 3 (January 24th -31st):

- Get your Jewelry and Shoes that matches with your Dress.

-If you want to get your hair dyed or cut do it 3 weeks ahead, just in case you don't like it, there will be time for it to grow out and or not be so vibrant in color.

-Make sure that you are for sure using your teeth whitening strips!

-Choose the face product or remedies that work by this point and start using them daily!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 2 (January 31st - February 7th):

-Get your Tan for that week

- Whiten your teeth and use the tooth paste with the mouth wash too! If you are not seeing results by now then switch to something more powerful or try using baking soda and peroxide ( do not get them on your gums).

-Use your face wash every day or every other day. ONLY use your remedy once that week.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Week 1 ( February 7th - EVENT DAY):

-If you dont want to get a tanning bed tan then purchase a self tanner at the store. I recommend Jergens, and use it a week before the event. (Jergens Link) 

- Use your last week of teeth whitening strips.

- Get your nails done at a Salon 2 days before the event or paint them yourself the day before.

- Test out makeup and hair looks this week and see which one you like so you don't have to decide on the day of the event.

-Use a Hair mask this week and let it hydrate your hair so it looks shinny!

- Shave your legs the day before the event and on the day of the event use lotion on them so they smell good and are soft.

- Wash your face this whole week and make sure to use moisturizer so that your skin glows but isn't too shiny.  

- Lastly get all dressed and put everything on to go! Don't forget the perfume and deodorant! 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You certainly do NOT have to do ALL of these things, but if you want to look your best you need to plan ahead. 

Also I hope I got everything, there may be a few things that I missed or something that you do and I don't, but you can tweak this list to make it your own!

I HOPE THIS HELPED!!!

Remember: its all designed to help relieve your stress and help you relax more on the day of the event!

(Disclaimer: I made this list all on my own, the links are from websites that I think are useful)

My Christmas Favorites

Since Christmas is only about 2 weeks away, I thought that I would share my favorite things that I enjoy during the Christmas season.

This is a super random list but hopefully you'll get ideas for your Christmas outfit,party, gift, etc.


1. Puppy Chow
I love eating Puppy Chow during the Christmas season, it is perfect because of the combination of sugar and chocolate. It's a great snack to have at parties. Every time I bring it to parties it is gone in less than 20 minutes. Consider making it for your next Christmas party!!


2. Food Candles
If you're looking for a great scent try the new candle scents from bath and body works. They smell like food and will make your party or room smell AMAZING!! A few of my favorites are Mint Chocolate, Merry Cookie and Red Velvet Cupcake. Go check them out!

3. Scarves
No one can have too many scarves! Check out some colorful scarves at Forever 21. You can pair scarves with any outfit. They are perfect for any Christmas party.


4. Christmas Music
If you are a fan of Christmas music and you don't know what songs you should play at your Christmas party, try some Michael Buble or some of the new Ariana Grande.


5.DIY Christmas Projects
Look up some Christmas projects on Pintrest that you can do with your friends or family. One DIY is making homemade snow globes and I think they are very pretty to have around your house during the Christmas season.

MUST NEEDS for Winter

      

Where I live it is pretty cold during the winter months.

I decided that there are a few things that every girl should own for this winter season of 2013.

You do NOT need all of these things, but if you own them it will be easier to make outfits, help your skin, help your hair, etc

Enjoy <3

What Every Girl Needs This Winter Season:

1. Black Leggings:

Very Fashionable for Winter

Pros:These can be used with just about anything. They are super comfy and stretchy, if you don't like pants that are skin tight. 

Cons: Can be expensive. Doesn't look good with EVERY body type.

Use: Wear them with over-sized sweaters, black makes you appear thinner, black goes with every other color.

2. EOS Lip Balm

Winter months make lips chapped.

Pros: Everyone has chapped lips during the winter, this works 100% to fix all chapped lips. Makes your breathe seem fresher with the Sweet Mint flavor.  ONLY $2.96 for all flavors.

Cons: None

3. Hair Masks/ Balm: 

Winter months make your hair very dry!

Pros: I use the Loreal Total Repair 5 Balm (pictured), it helps with the 5 kind of damaged Hair,1. Split Ends 2. Weak 3. Rough 4. Dull 5. Dehydrated. Use any brand you would like

Only $5.97

Cons: none

Use:Use once a week, on your entire head after shampooing, helps with damaged hair.

4. Cardigan/ Shawl:

Can be used over ANY outfit

Pros: Used with any outfit, looks cute, makes your body look thinner because of the layers, warm, comfy.

Cons: Can be expensive (most are over $25)

Use: Can be worn with jeans, leggings, t shirts, tank tops. Can be used for business. Can be used at home. You can wear them anywhere.

Hope these few tips helped. 

These are the few necessary items that you should have for this winter season. 

All of these clothing items can be worn multiple times and hopefully multiple years. 

The Hair and Lip products I mentioned REALLY have helped me so far this Fall and Winter. I 100% recommend these items for everyone!

Trendy Summer Tips for Girls

Hey Girls, as you can tell it is June! Meaning we are out of High School or College and we get to have our summer jobs and be tan :)

I've been having a great first week of summer so far, I've been working out daily, eating healthy, getting tan ;), and been having fun with friends.

There are a few tips that I would like to share with you, to make this summer easy, unforgettable and just hassle free.

Hair:

 1. This summer, try not to use that much heat on your hair, since its warm outside let your hair air dry and this will help it not get damaged as much.

2. If you want cute beach waves, instead of using a curling iron or crimpper, try finding a sea salt that you can use in your hair to recreate the beach hair look.

3. Use a mask on your hair at LEAST once a month. This mask should be a deep conditioning mask, and you may wonder why you need this? Well, your hair has been damaged by the iron you've used all winter and the its dry from the winter and from the humidity that is starting to kick in. There is a great sample of Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Mask, that is at ulta and you can try for only $4.

Face:

1. During the Summer I try not to use as much makeup as I do in the Winter and Fall. This helps because when I go swimming I don't have to worry about mascara running down my face. Or when its a hot day I don't have to worry about my foundation coming off and being blotchy. I encourage you to do this.

2. When you are done working out or even tanning outside, and you don't want to take a shower just yet because you HAVE to do something else, make sure to use a towel (or i use a moist makeup wipe) to wash your face and your back off ( or where ever you sweat). This helps to make you less acne prone and makes sure your skin isn't dirty when it drys.

3. Use a mask or exfoliate every week. If you use a nice face mask on your face every week it helps with the breakouts and gets your pores very clean, and who doesn't want that? And what I mean by exfoliate, I mean to get a gentle face scrub like this one from target, its a scrub that guarantees to exfoliate your skin. Its called Up & Up Apricot Scrub and its only $2, its worth to try it for that price!!

Body:

1. Know your skin! If your skin gets dry from the sun, bring a hydrating lotion with you in your car or purse/ beach bag. If your skin gets oily make sure to bring blotting papers with you or moist wipes so you wipe off that sweat.

2. DON'T BE DUMB IN THE SUN! If you are outside at the beach, tanning, or you just know you're going to be outside for a while, don't cheat your skin. This means, if you know you burn a lot then put on sunscreen, today is not going to be different from the other days you got burnt. If you only burn on your face then make sure to put it on that area. Be smart with your skin, you don't want to get burnt and have to go through the consequences. 

3. While shaving, make sure to do it right. You probably wonder, "How can you shave wrong?". You can! First, don't use a razor that doesn't do the job or is too dull. Second, if you break out by using shaving cream or soap then don't use them, just shave in the shower with plain water.Third, NEVER use scented lotion, it will MAKE you break out, no matter how good it may smell, just wait 2 or 3 hours then put it on.


Food!:

1. Summer is the time to take care of your body , because more people are going to see it. You're going to wear shorts and tank tops that shows more of your skin, than the coat and pants you were wearing in the winter. This means that you need to know where you are with your body. Are you perfect just the way you are ( which everyone totally is in my sight)? Do you need a flatter stomach or want toner legs?  Then make it your goal over the summer to work on those things so that you can feel COMFORTABLE in your body.

2. Try to say away from the icy cold treats. I know they are TEMPTING! and all you may want is to have that ice cream that is calling your name while you are blazing hot. But fight the urge and if you do splurge then make sure that its not too calorie packed and if it is, then make sure that you know that its only a one time treat that you can only have on a certain day or once a month. CONTROL YOURSELF!

3. DRINK THAT WATER! Make sure to keep hydrated, to help your body grow and stay nourished. It hot outside and the more you workout and have fun and sweat you're losing that water that was in your body. It also helps to clear your skin :) so drink plenty of water.





 My last tip is to just HAVE FUN! You don't have to worry about school and you can finally relax! Make the most of it, don't get caught into drama or over pack your schedule so you are stressing out! Try to make it as simple and easy as possible. 

It goes by fast, don't let it slip away, live EVERY moment like it's your last one and take a few minutes a day to just close your eyes and let your mind take you AWAY!


Until Next Time!
