Your blades, finding the best one.

I absolutely hate buying razors, shaving, then still having stuble! This is very high up on my pet peaves list.. So I went on a mission, to find the best razors! Comment the razors you like!

Example A:
The Schick Intuition Renewing Moisture..
Price: $4-$9, depending on the store.
Price Rating: ☺☺☺☺

Pros:

• The 4 bladed razor provides a quick shave, without razor burn or cuts and scrapes.
• I used this for about 2 weeks, and got MAYBE one cut the entire time but NEVER razor burn.
• The moistureblock around the outside replaces shave gel and allows you to get the job done FAST!
• Medium close shave, leaving legs soft and smooth.
• Packaging is enviromentally safe and recyclable, and the razor base is reuseable.
• Hangs convieniently in your shower on a hanger that is included.

Cons:

• Due to the moisture strip on the outside, the shave is not as close as a regular disposable.
• Buying replacement blade can be expensive, because the blades only last about one week per blade.
• The moisture stip wears down quickly on the front, which may not moisterize as well.
• shave only lasts 24 hours before producing stuble.

Overall, I thought this razor was a good choice. Just I wouldnt be dependent on it. Maybe use it once a week.

Example B:
BIC Soleil Easy..
Price: $3-$7
Price Rating: ☺☺☺☺☺

Pros:

• Not expensive.
• Multiple razors in one pack.
• No-slip grip.

Cons:

• Don't last very long before going dull.
• Only a close shave the first time you use it.

I didn't favor this razor quite as well, but it would be good if you need a one-two use razor for a trip!

These are the first two razors I have tested, and i will add more soon(:

Fall Collection.

So, ladies. Its officially Fall, and I think mother nature has made that perfectly clear. But really whats not fun about catching a football game with the girls, or hitting up a friends house for a late night bonfire... Even though its a little chilly.. DONT let that cramp your style!

Outfit Number 1)

Starting off the outfit, grab a sock hat supporting your school or matching your outfit! With my experience, if you cant get your hair to fall right on top then a sock hat covers for you. (:

Continuing on down.... A cute pea coat or crop pea coat over a white shirt looks cute and keeps you warm!

The pants are one of the biggest parts of your ensemmble. You can have one million amazingly cute tops, then ruin the whole outfit if you wear the wrong pants. With this outfit, Rue 21 fits the gap. These skinnys are faded between a dark and light mix to give it the right look against the grey of the top. The cute patches and tatters add to the rough, fall look as well.

The shoe is singlehandedly the peice that makes the outfit. Toms, have become very popular. Toms are similar to mocasins, keeping your feet warm while maintaining a vey stylish look. toms are also flat bottomed, ensuring you dont look like you tried to hard... nobody wears heels to a football game. Are you kidding me?

 Oufit Number 2)

Starting off at the top, we have a faded baseball hat. Get one of these hats that support your school, and sport it at football games or even a bonfire! Sporty guys dig sporty girls. Who would have ever put that obsessive pink loving girly girl with the star football player? The best part about these hats is that it can work with any type of hair style. Curls? Straight? Wavy? Can add a cute flare to your regular do.



 For our top we have a 'Varsity' line hoodie by Aeropostale. These jackets go well over a school t-shirt or cami. Plus, we all know those overcast days might bring a little rain so your prepared with a hood and warm jacket!

Well, we could pretty much put together, that faded jeans go with mostly anything! The dark to light pattern on these jeans matched the hat and jacket and looks worn in for a casual look. Cold outside? Throw on some leggings underneath and youll be nice and warm, the whole night!

Toms, for the win yet again! Toms go great with anything and the have

all kinds of crazy colors and patterns to match any occasion! comfortable

and stylish.(:                                                                                           

5 Must Reads...

1. Coldest Winter Ever (Sister Souljah)- Book about a girl named Winter who grew up as a rich drug dealer's daughter. She makes it through her ups and downs, but if you like happy endings all the time..I wouldnt suggest it.

2.Kiss And Blog (Alyson Noel)- About a girl also named Winter who is on a mission with her best friend Sloane to become popular...but when somebody moves on without her she must go ahead on her own.

3.How To Be Popular (Meg Cabot, great author!)- A girl who finds a book that is going to teach her, just how to be popular..and well, she succeeds(:

4.Are There Horses In Heaven? [for not justttt animal lovers!](Mary Lou Davis)- Story of two girls who strive to be like the girls who came before them on a beautiful ranch called Heathermoor.. It is full of meaning and lessons. I suggest it to EVERYONE!

5. Story of A Girl (Sara Zarr)- I recomend this to our highschool audiences.. Some sexuall content but it is a great book that teaches you what will you regret in life, and how avoid painful decisions!

These are five of my favorite books...Read 'Em(:

Ode, To Vitamins.

I know, I know. Vitamins sound like a pain, but they can help you in so many way! Keep on top of these and they will have you looking your best everyday!

Example 1) Omega 3 Fish Oil - Fish oil is essential. I put this on the top of my list because it does soooooo many great things.

• Protects against breast cancer.
• Weakens cramps and other symptoms of your time of month...
• Protection against osteoporosis.
• Reduced risk of heart disease. Come on... Nobody wants heart disease.. (:

Example 2) Vitamin C - So, unlike the majority of animals, humans can't make their own vitamin C, so we need to take some in order to benefit. I take chewable vitamin C by Shaklee...love my chewables!

• Vitamin C is crucial to a healthy amune system.Don't wanna get sick!
• It also plays an important role in the synthesis of a neurotransmitter that’s vital for brain function.
• Also, it creates and maintains energy. Im an athlete..I need plenty of that!

Example 3) Calcium - Yeah, we all know..Strong bones and teeth! It been preached into us since we were old enough to listen without saying 'I know, Mom.' But strangely enough.. Thats not quite it!

• SB&T
• Eases and prevents muscle contraction.
• Treats and prevents osteoporosis.
• Heart healthy, preventing heart disease!
• Also believed to contain cancerous cells, thus preventing it altogether(:

Example 4) Vitamin A - One of the less thought of vitamins... nobody ever thinks about Vitamin A../:

• Prevents cancer!...thats DEFINATELY a plus.
• Improves vision and prevents night blindness.Yes, it gives you night vision.(;
• Guards us against bacterial, viral, and parasitic infections.
• Can improve skin condition, healing acne and imperfections.
• Prevents wrinkles.
• Lowers cholesterol.

These are just a few of my choice vitamins... But they are VERY valuable to your health. (:

Two Words: Foundation. Breakthrough!

Hey, guys. I know I havent posted in a while but I've been searching for something exciting TO post about! So earlier I posted something about how foundation can clog pores and give you a bunch of trouble...but not anymore!!! Clearasil came out with a tinted acne medicine called Clearasil Ultra Four Hour Tinted Treatment Cream! I use it every day in place of foundation! It provides the same effects that liquid foundation would, but it decreases, fights and prevents acne INSTEAD! Now tell me that isnt something awesome! I bought mine at Big Lots for $7.50, which is definately a deal! Check it out(:

Operation: Look For The Label♥

 So we all have our personall preferences on shampoos, conditioners, nail polish etc. But did you know some companys buy animals just to test products on them? Alright, really. I dont think trying some fancy conditioner on a dogs hair, is gonna be anything like if you tried it on my hair. People like them, try their product on animals, even though animals and humans are nowhere close to the same... My operation, is to boycott products that test on animals. I use products that work, but mention on the label 'WE DO NOT TEST ON ANIMALS!'... examples:

Bioluxe deep conditioner works deep (obviously) in hair to make it stronger, healthier and more moisterized. Throw some of this stuff on after shampooing, then let it soak in for 15-20 mins or so, after that wash it out and your good to go!
Rating: ☺☺☺☺

Another option is the nexxus hair care PRO-MEND line. On the bottle, it even says 'NEVER tested on animals'.   Even though its a tad on the expensive side, its worth it! The PRO-MEND system works wonders at stopping, reversing, and preventing breakage and split ends. If you color your hair a lot or use lots of hot tools...like me lol.. USE THIS! Rating: ☺☺☺☺☺

Here is yet another favorite! I loveeee TreSemme products. Sometimes you just straight up dont have time to use deep conditioner before straightening your hair. When I dont, I throw on some moisturizing shampoo and smoothing conditioner by TreSemme and then im good to go! Products like so keep hair down while allowing volume at the same time!
Rating:☺☺☺☺

These are just a few of my favorite products. Trust me, there are MANY more to list. My hair and my pets stay in good condition thanks to these guys. Hope you enjoy!

Chilly, Chilly.

So Ohio has made it clear to us, that summer is over. Last monday, it was 95 degrees plus. The last 3 days it has been about 60. Now girls, wearing a tanktop and booty shorts isnt cool in this weather, its annoying. If you go to that much of an extent in this weather then your definately trying to hard, and guys realize that! Improvise, be spontaneous. Tanktop? Throw your favorite zip-up hoodie over it, zip up halfway and roll the sleevs up. Its trendy and cute. Shorts? Jeans! Snag a pair of back-to-school sale jeans from Rue21 or Aeropostal! These jeans provide a nice fit but their still VERYcomfortable. Just remember, summer clothes are for SUMMER. Be in season, or be an outcast. Your pick(:

Alas! There Is A God! (:

 So as I was saying, girls...Dont strip your hair. But if you do, dont panic! Go to your nearest beauty supply store, or go to discountbeautycenter.com and order PROFESSIONAL hair color. One of the best brands to use is Wella LIQUID color. If you have lots of layers, thick hair, or long hair, make sure you get enough to cover your whole head. Need help ordering enough?. Email me and I can help you with details! (:

P.S- My New Hair!

Be Careful Little Hands What You Do! (:

So, my natural hair color is dirty blonde. One day, I was in Dollar General and saw some burgundy  hair color..I thought ohhhh what the heck. I was spontaneious! I died my pretty blonde locks the complete opposite of the color wheel. Bad decision. Here I am, about a year later bleached blonde.. How is this? You may ask. I just used a hair color stripper. The chemicals in the stripping system litterally STRIP the bad color out....Yeah, I went from faded red to blonde in half an hour. So girls, next time your thinking of trying something new, GO.TO.A.SALON! The on the shelf hair color takes FOREVER to get out, not to mention getting the bad stuff removed is expensive and terrible for your hair!. So, be careful little hands what you do, or your hair may suffer.

Secrets(:

 One secret to clearer Skin is peroxide and toothpaste! Whattt?!, you might say. Toothpaste is formulated to dig deep inbetween teeth to kill bacteria and things not good for your teeth. First, wash your face with regular soap. This will get all the oil and dirt on the surface off of your skin. Next, take about the amount of the length of the tip of your finger in toothpaste and rub it all over your face. *Make sure your face is wet with warm water before applying toothpaste. Let the toothpaste sit for about a minute to two minutes time then wash it off. After it is all rinsed off, take a medicated facial cleanser and wash your face with it. My favorite facial cleanser is Clearasil Acne Clearing Scrub. Leave this medicated scrub on for 5 minutes, wash off then pat dry your face. . On the other hand, if i have a troublesome zit I will wash my face and then put peroxide on my zit with a Q-tip! The peroxide is also designed to remove bacteria, so it cleans the crap out of my zit! This became routine for me and my mom said she noticed a difference two days after I started

 One secret to a better body is early morning excersize! Im naturally skinny, which is a blessing, but skinny people still need to look out for their body. Every morning when I get up I do 30 crunches, 10 sit ups and 5 push ups! This gradually tones my stomache, shoulders, wrists and arms, maintaining my beach body all year long!

 One secret to smoother legs is epsom salt scrub! First, you get a cup or something to hold liquid in. When you get the dish /cup you fill it with 1/2 cup mixed oil, 1/2 cup epsom salt and 1/4 cup sugar. Mix thoroughly to make sure all the oil, salt and sugar is mixed together. You may have to add more oil, but you just have to have all the grains soaked in oil. After you shave take a handful of the mixture and rub all over each leg. This exfoliates the skin and makes them as smooth as a babys butt! If you want the mixture to have a scent, mix in about 10 sprays of your favorite perfume.

 One secret to longer looking eyelashes is using a heated eyelash curler! First, take your eyelash curler and run it under your hot hair dryer for 10seconds. Next, touch your finger lightly on it to make sure it isnt too hot. Next, curl your eyelash with the warm curler and hold for a count of thirty seconds. After the eyelash is curled take clear mascara and apply gently on curled lash. Repeat on other side. When clear mascara is COMPLETELY dry take and apply black mascara over it. If lash is being weighed down after black is applyed curl with no heat.

When is It, uh.. A little too much?

 Girls, girls. Some of us have such a fascination with how well certain foundations can cover up acne and other marks on your skin. That's what its supposed to do! However, you shouldn't be able to SEE the grains of foundation.
 Personally, i don't use foundation. For 1, its bad for the skin and clogs pores 50% more then just sucking it up and not using foundation. Second, its a hassle when your in a hurry. Late for the bus? Yeah, then your all unconfident because you don't have a second skin covering up what your natural skin has 'wrong' with it. Third, liquid makeup can leave lines or marks. THOSE are embarrassing/:
  I have no problem with foundation or the people who use it. But really? At least make sure its natural looking...You don't wanna look fake enough to make Barbie jealous. When you DO apply foundation, dip it in the powder and then blow on it to get the heavy stuff off. A Waste? You might say. Well, do you wanna look like you dipped yourself in baking flour or a person? Brush on lightly over imperfections and get on with it. Find eye shadow tones that are pretty yet bold, and nobody is gonna stare at your zits.
 Some makeup I might recommend is Mary Kay Mineral Foundation or Loreal True Match Liquid Foundation.

 No matter how much makeup you put on in the morning, your beautiful the way you are! Remember that♥

Too, much/:

 Today my topic is about how schools pressure you into extra curriculars! Well, to be frank, they dont pressure you into doing them but they stress you out when you do take part! You have practice every day in the morning or at night or right after school! Plus, during the school year you have homework and family to juggle too. The lesson that you may learn from this is that if you dont love it, forget it and move on. Persay you love the sport but its just not your thing? Become a stat or a manager. Problem solved, half the work and you dont have to worry about untimely practice or hectic schedules.
 Not only is all this stress tiring, its not good for you!!! Its a proven study that teens/adults that have less then 8 hours of sleep on a somewhat regular basis have worse skin than the ones that sleep well! There are many other ways that stress is bad for your skin. Stress causes premature signs of aging and wrinkles, meaning that you could develope age spot and wrinkles at 20 years old from the stress you've dealt with in previous years.
 All in all, sometimes extra curriculars just arent worth it. Consider pros and cons before you decide to try a new sport.
