Wand Curls


 Everyone is different but I know that I like curls on myself rather than straight hair. However curling your hair can be extremely hard. There are numerous ways to curl your hair weather it is using a straightener, wand , or curling iron. I quite like how my hair came out. Let me know in the comments below you guys wold like to to do another post on how to get these curls. 
Thanks for reading :)

3 Things You Should Know Before Starting a Blog


Hey Guys, so I was online and watched a few video where Blogger/YouTubers were talking about the stereotypes that people think about bloggers or having a blog. I'm not gonna sit here and tell you guys that I didn't believe the stereotypes , because I did.
 Before I started a blog I thought what all other none bloggers think. I don't have many followers but I'm writing this for anyone who's willing to read. These are some things that people should know before starting a blog. Don't get me wrong I LOVE blogging, but I never thought it would be like this. 
1. It's not Easy
 A lot of people think that having a blog is easy, that once and a while that you can write a blog post and you'll magically get thousands of followers. You have to write QUALITY posts, people won't read the posts if they are poorly written or have irrelevant topics.
2. Don't start a blog if you don't enjoy it
This is another thing many people do, they start a blog because they want to make money, or get notice. Truth be told if your hearts not in it you won't last. You'll get bored or start writing poor posts. Don't do it if you don't love it.
3. Followers won't just appear
It's not easy to get followers, you have to have a target audience that will read and be active in your blog. I don't have a lot of followers but it's okay because I know the followers that I do have are quality followers. You have to work hard and have quality posts. You could also use social websites like Facebook,twitter, Instagram, ect.  
In conclusion, starting a blog is hard work, but if you love it it's amazing!!! I love blogging and reading other blogs, and I wouldn't go back and change anything. If you enjoy blogs then definitely start one, and don't give up if you don't think you have enough followers.
 I've been seriously writing on my blog since September and only have 53 followers and I freak out every time I get a new one. I love my followers and the blogs  I follow. Good Luck to everyone who wants to start a blog.

Shopping Success!

Hello Everyone, I think most people agree with me when I say I love to shop! But sometimes shopping isn't the best thing especially when you have loads of stuff and you don't have loads of money. Even thought I have more clothes and jewelry than I can handle I still want MORE! 
So last week I was at the mall and almost had a heart attack when I found out dELiA's was having a sale, and not any sale, most of their shirts were just $5!!!  There jewelry was also buy one get one free! And get this, their shoes were $5 too!!!! However, I was responsible and only got a few things...kind of. I also stopped by Claire's who also had a 10 for 10 sale.

When your Snowed In!!!

I know this isn't my usual post but I need to write and I think this is the perfect place for it. This past week I had yet another snow day, well school wasn't closed it was just to hectic outside for anyone to go.
 My school only has 30-something kids  Anyway being that this is the third snow day I've had so far I had to come up with something to do on this extremely boring day. So I made a list. 
This list was devised so that I could help other bored teens on snow days. Like I said this isn't my normal post so I might be awful at this but here it goes.


1. Sleep in 
Sleep is an amazing thing and when a snow day occurs its the perfect excuse to catch up on some sleep. Especially if your a high school student, you know the struggle of not getting enough sleep.


2. Stay in you Pjs ALL day 
When you get the chance why not stay in your Pjs all day?

 

3. Watch EVER Disney movie you can
This is pretty self explanatory 


4. Eat EVERYTHING 
Why not?

 

5. RELAX
If you have a day off don't stress yourself out, it's best to take it slow and relax.

 I hope you guys enjoyed this post,comment down below your favorite thing to do on a snow day. 
Thanks for reading :)

Tresemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray

This product probably has the longest name ever! Okay so let's talk about it! Before purchasing this I usually used the Pantene Heat Protection Spray for Curly Hair and I loved it! 4
I was kinda exited to use this product because every time I watch tutorials online they always use a Tresemme Heat Protection Spray and I never really got around to purchasing one. 
However, I must say that the rave is right I love this spray. I love the smell, feel, and way it leaves my hair after using it. 
I used it today when I straighten my hair, its suppose to keep your hair straight and de-frizzed for 7 days. I'm gonna try to leave my hair unwashed for a few days and write an update because I'm kinda curious whether or not it will keep my hair this way. So if any of you have tried this leave a comment down below!

Covergirl Naturluxe Gloss Balm


Covergirl Natureluxe Gloss Balm, wow that's a mouth-full, try saying that 10 times.  At fist sight these may look like they have heavy pigment , but that's not the case. The picture above is not mine, but I do have the two corner colors, sorry I have not been able to take picture lately but I really need to get a better camera so when I do I will definitely be posting  my own pictures. 
Back to the Gloss Balm , I currently have three, Marble- 255, Tulip-205, and Thistle-210. Tulip and Thistle surprisingly are lighter when looking at the shade, yet they give off more pigment than Marble. I really like these because being only a high-schooler I don't really like heavy color on my lips and these are perfect when you want just the right amount of color.
 I also love them because they are extremely moisturizing. The Marble actually gives off almost no pigment so if you ever need a moisturizing balm that gives off a little shine, this is perfect.  They also all have SPF 15, which is just another bonus, I totally love this balm, it has such a lightweight feel that I can't get enough of them. 
You can get them Here
Thanks for reading and comment down below if you have every tried them or what your favorite balm is :)
