I also pulled out ALL the nail polish I own, I didn't even count them all! But if you know me, I LOVE doing my nails :) If you ever are in need of a pedicure, come my way! Below is a picture of all the nail polish I own:




Yeah, so I enjoy collecting many different colors of nail polish and buying shoes, but what girl doesn't?? I am very much a girly girl and love to show it! Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend and have fun summer plans!!

Fashion Tips of the Week #1

I'm going to start posting fashion tips weekly, so here's the first post! Have fun! If you have any questions, let me know.


**Stay away from horizontal stripes! They'll make you look larger than you actually are! Rather, go with vertical stripes, they'll make you look thinner than you actually are.

**Purple is in! Whether it be nail polish, heels, a top, leggings, or a purse it's in and really fun to wear right now. Below is a picture of some new nail polish I recently purchased, and of course it's purple!

**Be weary of sheer fabrics! There's a way to pull off sheer fabrics, but it's tricky. Don't wear too much of it at once, and piece it together with a leather jacket or black leggings, nothing neon or bright colored.

**Never wear just leggings/tights alone! Even if you've got the butt and legs for it, it doesn't look good. Wear a cute dress or short shirt with the leggings, or even a pair of cute denim shorts.

**Headbands are back! Wear them with your hair up or down, these trendy hair accessories are fun to wear and show off! Especially those types of headbands with feathers and jewels, etc.

B-E-A-U-TY Facts...True/False??

Here are a few beauty facts that all girls should know, guess if the following are true or false:

4. The more expensive a product is, the better it will work.

6. Pumping the mascara wand will help apply mascara better.
FALSE. When you pump the wand, it creates air bubbles which will eventually lead to drying out the wand, and drying out the mascara. Instead of pumping the mascara wand, slowly twist it as you pull it out.

7. Never pluck or pull out a gray hair, because 10 more will grow in it's place.
FALSE. Only one hair can grow out of one root. If you pluck one, only one will grow back BUT it will probably refuse to lie flat. Instead of plucking, color your hair to cover up any gray.

FALSE. The only way to repair split ends is to get a trim.
