A Tip for Mascara Appplication

Mascara is one of my favorite parts of make-up. I love that mascara can add so much to the eyes to really make them pop and stand out. I always like my lashes to look as long and thick as possible, so I sometimes add a second layer of mascara to really make them stand out.

I have the most trouble getting mascara onto my bottom lashes. I can really tell the difference when it's not there, but before I came across this great tip, my mascara would smudge and smear under my eyes. It would look like I got punched and had a black eye!

I came across this tip on Pinterest and it makes application of mascara on my lower eyelashes so much easier and more efficient. If you use a plastic spoon to place under the lower lashes, this prevents the mascara from going on the skin. It's a wonderful tip and I use it everyday!

A Great Way to Display Nail Polish

I don't know about you all, but when I go to paint my nails, I can never make a decision. I always end up using a paper towel to "test" the colors out since everybody knows the color in the bottle always looks different than when it's on my nails.

I'm going to do this ASAP--I came across it on Pinterest and I'm super excited to try it out! I'm going to take out all of my nail polish and swipe a small patch on a space of paper. I have a booklet of blank paper that I'm not using that will work perfectly to fill up with nail polish swatches! This will make the decision a lot easier when it's time to paint my nails.

Get the Ring of Your Dreams with a Custom Designed Ring

As all fashionistas know, everybody has a different style. You can follow the trends as much as you want, but each person has their own personal tastes and way of taking those styles and making them unique to the individual person.

There are many different kinds and styles of engagement and wedding rings out there on the market. It can be so overwhelming to find the perfect one. There's a lot of pressure to pick something that will be worn forever. When I was shopping for engagement rings, I feel like there was something about each ring that I disliked.

I'm glad I discovered Simone and Son. They specialize in creating custom designed rings and I couldn't be more happy with the ring that they made just for me!

DIY Skin Care Ideas and Tips

I love finding great skin care regimens that I can do at home. It can be so expensive to buy all of those products at the store and if you check out the ingredients on some of them, you'll be surprised by some of the ingredients that they contain! It's also great to save some money (especially during the holiday season!) with these at home DIY solutions that will do just as much as those store-bought products.

1. Use fresh lemon juice and apply to your face and neck. Leave it on for about ten minutes--rinse it off and notice your lighter and brighter skin!

2. Drinking at least a half of a gallon of water a day can eliminate blackheads and treat your dry skin.

3. If you have a pimple, apply tea tree oil to a pimple with a cotton swab. Do this every few hours and and about an hour before bed, apply vitamin B oil. Watch your pimple disappear!

4. Put some champagne on a cotton ball and rub in evenly on your face. This will shrink pores, give your skin a glow, and add antioxidants to your skin.

5. Mix sugar with your face or body wash. This prevents pimples and keeps the skin super smooth!

Beautiful Prom Dresses

I love prom season. I feel like as soon as the holidays hit, that means that prom is right around the corner. I love prom because it's such a fun event during high school. It's exciting to get ready with your friends. There's so much to choose from and decide on that you can really cater your prom experience to your own personal style.

You can choose your prom dress (which was always my favorite part), shoes to match, beautiful flowers that coordinate, a great hair style, and of course a fun date to dance the night away with! I wish I could go to prom again, although it's nice that my sisters are in high school still and the perfect age for prom. They are both going this year and I can't wait to help them with all of these fun things!
