Make up tip!

Hello again!
So today I was at the mall and thought about this thing I do and how I can share with you this wonderful tip for finding the perfect foundation for you!

Sephora: If you are current trying to find a color or band that best fits you Sephora gives samples this a cheaper alternative then buying multiple foundations that you end up not liking, along with wasting money. As a college student I know we NEED every cent we can get so test this out. Simple ask for a sample of the foundation you would like to try, it come in a circle little container.

Personally I suggest BB creams or Tinted Moister, especially since its spring/summer and its hot. These keep your face healthier and it's more natural looking.

Tutorial: The Bohemian look :))

Hello:) So, as I promised here is a tutorial (basically a "How to" blog)

A little back-round about the Bohemian Style

What Bohemian initially stands for  people who live unconventional, usually artistic, lives. 

or in this you could experience this look for one day ;]

The reason why I did some research on this is because my best friend's aunt is throwing a party and her theme is 50's 60's, 70's etc. So basically decades and their outfits. 

I picked 70's which was when many people styled the Boho look.

I have always wanted to be born in that decade :)

Here we go!

Step one:  Bang Braid

Part your hair a little over the middle of you head

Bang Braid

Grab a small amount of hair starting at the parting of you hair

Divide it into three equal parts

Tightly braid the hair three times

Braid again, this time use another collection of hair

Add to existing front braid part and braid once 

(Only add to one section of the braid that is closest to you head)

As you can see I put my hair up, it is less messy this way. 

Repeat this process on the rest of the section of your hair

(Make sure to continue downward because it will look like your

 bangs are braid, if not it will be closer to your hair)

This is your choice:)

Once you choose your braid length secure it with an elastic band

(Stretchy ones, normally your hair color or clear)

Then grab 2 bobby pins and pin it under some 

hair so the remaining braid does not show.

Finished Bang Braid:))

Step two: Random Braids

Grab three sections of hair and braid them

Braid #1

It usually do right under my ear

Finished Braid #1

Braid #2

Behind my ear

Finished Braid #2

Braid #3

Right at the before bottom of my neckline

Finished two braids on my right side. Other is on my left

 Last thing to do, brush your hair and time for some wavy curls!

I am using my Conair curler 1 1/4 inch

Naturally my hair is wavy/curly so I did it very loosely:)

The finished look!!!:))

And the bottom of course, Thanks for reading/viewing! Enjoy.

Money Saver

Hello, so I was going to do my boho  tutorial; however, homework took over my life for literally for the whole day and so I am sorry!

But one tip that I did want to share is about a money saver! 

Coupons 

What inspired this is this cute little coupon book I saw at Michael's Crafts Store. 

As I have been noticing there are so many ways to save. If you get the newspaper, look for coupons! Even online, so go do some searching it is well worth it & you can use the money you save for school. 

Let me know what you find:))

The best thing to do in college

Hello! So today I had the most eye opening experience that is really something very general but is amazing :)

If you are in college this pertains to YOU!
See a COUNSELOR!

For me I didn't just see the school counselor, I went beyond that I found a counselor in a program that is specifically for MY major.

This is within a program at my school its called STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), the best advise for anyone is to look for anything that has to do with what you are doing. Find a club, tutoring session, counselor anything really.

Quote of the day: "Work smarter not harder" -said by my mother :]


I hope you take this advise if you haven't already. It wouldn't hurt! 


Turn in tomorrow for a hair tutorial! (How to blog)
Find out how to do this look... tomorrow!

Drink up!

Hello, so today's topic is healthy drinks!
At the moment I have two that are my favorite!

1. Vitamin Water, they keep me hydrated, healthy plus they have funny comments on them:)
Maybe try it, it wouldn't hurt!



2. Naked Juice!! This is my favorite because it something I can drink to-go. Sometimes for breakfast I'll have something small with a mini Naked Juice, personally I buy these at Costco:)

 


Simple and sweeeet, how you take this advise and maybe live a little healthier:]]

Who knew?

Hi, so as a college student I LOVE to save money whenever I can, with that I learned some beauty tricks and wanted to share some with you!!! These are DIY (Do It Yourself) blogs. Enjoy<3

1. Teeth whitening (Healthier alternative)
A. You will need:
Strawberries & a tooth brush 
Very odd I know but strawberries have vitamins that your teeth need. Rub strawberries on your tooth brush and brush your teeth. This is a alternative that may not be the fastest but it does work.

B. You will need:
Baking soda ,Lemon (it will bubble), and a cotton ball 
Simply dip into baking soda and lemon (once mixed) and apply on your teeth.
It doesn't taste well but it works. It helps if you don't close your mouth:))
-Leave on for 30-40 seconds & rinse. Instantly its a shade lighter!


2. Face toner (all natural ;]) 
You will need: 
Kiwi and Lime and a cotton ball + moisturizer 
This is used to cleanse your skin and reduce the appearance of pores.
Mix together juice from both fruits, use cotton and apply
-Leave on for 2-4 minutes
The wonderful thing about this is that you don't have to waste money because it has the same affect!



3. Moisturizer 

You will need: 
Moisturizer and Vitamin C packets

Instead of spending various amounts of money on moisturizers that have vitamin, add you own!
Buy little packets of Vitamin C (about $2-4) and mix into your choice of moisturizer, it works.
Personally I use Mary Kay and it's a simple moisturizer that works and hydrates


4. Face Sugar Scrubs 

You will need: 
Brown sugar and Olive Oil

Homemade remedies are the best in my opinion.
Mix brown sugar and olive oil in a small bowl and use your fingers:))
Simply apply for your desired amount of time and your face will feel amazing after!


5. Puffy Eyes anyone?

You will need: 
1-2 Egg whites + cotton ball

Being college student with little sleep, one thing that works well for puffy eyes is egg whites!
Mix 1-2 egg whites in a bowl
Use cotton ball and apply under and around your eyes, it reduces the swelling.
For me, after I do this I apply my favorite BB cream from Smashbox Camera Ready at Sephora.

Best Homework-time Snack

Hi!Want a healthy alternative, chips?
Well I know of one, that I am in love with right now.
It's Pita Chips w/Sea salt. It is way healthier than most chips, simply add dip of you choice. I normally pick Humus:))

So try these and let me know what you think!
These are from Fresh and Easy:)

Statement make-up

Hello, if you haven't already helped, you can at runteamkina.com, don't forget! If you don't know what that is check out my previous blog:))

Anyway today what I want to share with you is how to use make-up as a statement

 and today's make-up product is EYELINER

One thing that I have learned is when you want your eyes to stand out use colors like Silver or Gold, and apply it to your water line. This is easy & simple. However, if you want to apply eye shadow or black eyeliner do so. Enjoy & let me know what you think:))

This brand is Nabi just a plain brand I picked up a boutique:)

Best feeling ever!!!

Run Team Kina

Hello there, so would you like to have the best feeling ever?

I want to inform as many people as I can to help me with something:))

Here is the short story of what Run Team Kina is and how you can help!

RTK is based off a singer songwriter named Kina Grannis who has an amazing heart and wants to make a difference. On her website for this http://www.runteamkina.com/ is states that...

"Run Team Kina is a project 

devoted to making a difference 

 in the world and in ourselves."

With that being said, the goal is to make a difference in the world by...

Raising money and awareness for blood cancers and by fundraising for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

My personal perspective on this: I feel like I am SO grateful to be healthy and have my families health as well. However, if someone I knew or a relative had Cancer, I would hate it even more. Kina Grannis has been through this sad experience and her mother got through it. I think if this was my mom I would HATE it too!

With that in mind, please do what you can to help $1 makes the difference or more:)) There is about a week left to donate her goal is $50,000 and she is 3/4 of the way! Give what you can and the feeling after is amazing to know that you could be helping someone somewhere and their families too! That could be you.

Kina Grannis personal video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKBxdB7k1v8&feature=g-all-u&context=G2f4aa3bFAAAAAAAACAA

Also, if you would like to participate in any other aspects of Run Team Kina you could make the difference in yourself to do better and be healthy.
