101 Beauty Tips Every Girl Should Know: Tip 1

How is everyone's week going so far? I hope it's all well! I am happy to share I have got the job that I interviews for last week. I am not going to share where I work for safety reasons. But I am excited to work for a growing business. So if I don't post as often as I do, that is why. I work late hours so I don't get home until around 9:30 pm. Therefore most of my tweets and internet action will happen late night or early morning. I hope you all understand. Do you any of you have plans tomorrow for Halloween? I wish I could hand out candy with Shawn but I will be getting home so late. I want to wear my Wenda costume again! Below you will find pictures of Shawn and I on Saturday night! We went to Ivy Social Club. I highly recommend to those who are 25+. It was my first time there and I felt so young! I loved it! Usually I feel so old but I think I found the perfect club where I feel young again!

1) Use a cream or milk cleanser to wash your face. Creams are less drying than gels.

I know this works really well for those who have normal to very dry skin. But I am not sure if it works on oily skin. I would assume it would but you would need to make sure it is oil-free. I am using the Cetaphil cleanser which is light and gentle on my skin.


I would like to thank Beauty High for these amazing tips. I do not take any credit for these amazing tips but I will continue to post every Tuesday and Thursday. I will try to blog in between those days as well depending on my schedule. Check out the original post on Beauty High!

101 Beauty Tips Every Girl Should Know: Tips 6 -> 2

I cannot believe I forgot to post yesterday. I apologize to those who were waiting. I got a last minute call yesterday for an interview this afternoon so I was prepping all last night. Part two of the interview is tomorrow morning so tonight I will be prepping for that. I hope you all understand. This weekend is Halloween weekend! I hope some of you got some fun weekend plans coming up! Me and Shawn are going clubbing for the first time in a long time. I don't even remember the last time me and Shawn went clubbing together. That is how long ago it was. This is when you know you are getting old. When you can't remember the last time you partied. Me and Shawn also need to carve a pumpkin. We plan to make the pumpkin on the far right (picture below).

6) The best way to get rid of ingrown hair is to exfoliate, "which rids the skin of dead cells and allows the hair to break through the surface" - Marlena Ramoy, Bliss Spa Esthetician

This is especially important if you wax any part of your body. If you don't want any ingrown hair, make sure you exfoliate. You can exfoliate with a dry brush before you shower and a loofah/body glove in the shower. I am currently using a dry body brush from The Body Shop.

5) Carrots are good for the hair. A healthy diet leads to a beautiful you.

I strongly believe in having a healthy diet to help improve your skin, hair and well-being. If you eat bad, you will look bad. If you eat good, you will look good. If you have trouble eating vegetables, try juicing them with fruits. I know RissRose2 on YouTube has some really great juicing ideas/videos.

4) "The best time to apply cream is after the shower, as the skin has been de-oiled." - Dr. Stephen P. Bracci

It is also a great time since your pores are open from the steam in your shower. The best creams are the body butters. I know The Body Shop has tons! I personally don't like body butters since I find that it leaves a heavy scent in my skin which I don't like. I use a special lotion made by Cetaphil for my eczema skin.

3) Replace mascara and liquid eyeliner after three to four months.

This is because the bacteria that is on your lashes and eyelids goes back into the mascara and eyeliner applicator. I learned this from a women at a Clinique counter. The mascara gets thicker in the container because both air and bacteria are getting into your mascara. Sounds really gross but it's true.

2) To keep hair colour vibrant longer, use shampoos and conditioners formulated for coloured hair.

This is pretty obvious but there still some girls out there that don't do this. It is important to do this since you did spend a lot of money at the salon getting all that hair coloured. Don't want to waste it away!


Stayed tuned next Tuesday to get the final tip!

Halloween is almost here!

I am so excited for Halloween! I love how that when you use to be a kid and be so excited for Halloween so you can get free candy but now that I am older, it gives me a reason to dress up like crazy and no one can say anything about it. I love that! I wish there were more holidays where people can dress up like a completely different person and not be stared at weirdly. This year, Shawn and I are dressing up as Waldo and Wanda.

I just Google searched these images and I am not sure why they are different shades of red.....WEIRD!

Anyways I found a striped red and white sweater from Value Village and Shawn ordered a striped sweater from Forever 21 Men. I love that with these purchases, we can still reuse these sweaters. I love having Halloween costumes that you can wear again throughout the year and not have to wait until Halloween to wear them again.

I purchased the hat and glasses from eBay. The seller shipped it very fast and the products are pretty good quality for the price! The glasses look like Harry Potter glasses which is hilarious. Maybe next Halloween me and Shawn can dress up like Harry Potter and Cho Chang!!

I plan to buy the striped stockings from my local Party City store.. They are inexpensive and can be worn again for Christmas!!

The cane you can definitely find it at a party store but the rest of the costume we already own items like that such as the jeans and denim skirt.
