How to shave your legs? What?

Hey everyone!
Today I'll be talking about how to shave your legs, the right way. Apparently I've been shaving my legs all wrong for the last 7years!
You obviously need to prep your legs! So for this you will need to shower for no less than 3 minutes, this will help soften the hair and make it much easier to remove!
USE SHAVING CREAM! Don't use a bar of soap or shampoo or condition whatever you think is an okay substitute, you're legs will freak out! Well, mine do. I get bumps and "razor burn" and trust me you don't want that! Using shaving cream will help guide you so you don't go over the same spots, causing irritation. (razor burn).
Time to shave!
Hold the razor near the head, meaning instead of holding the back of the handle hold a little closer to the blades. This will help to control the pressure, remember to be gentle when shaving! If you aren't gentle you'll more than likely end up with a few cuts!
Shave against the growth! Your leg hair grows "down" meaning it grows towards your toes, so be sure to shave from you ankles up! Use long and even strokes! This will help with getting a close shave!
After Care!
Do NOT rub your legs dry with the towel, pat them dry! Rubbing may irritate the skin!
Don't use lotions that have alcohol listed as a main ingredient. It will sting in ANY cuts you get!

Remember:
Hot water makes your legs swell, making it easier to get cuts. So don't wait till the end of your shower!
To get your ankles, flex your foot.
To shave over your knee, point your toe! (Just tried this for the first time, and it seriously works!)

I'll do another blog post on what I keep in my shower! So you know the type of razor I use, and the type of shaving cream!
I read about these tips in an old issue of Seventeen, so if you're looking for a magazine that will give you tips and tricks go check em out! (No, they aren't paying me to type this either! I found it and thought it was something most girls would need to know!)

Flat Iron Review!

Hey everyone!
I'm baaaack :) I know I say that a lot haha, but I'm hoping to get into more blogging this year!

So, today I'm reviewing my flat iron, it's a GHD Classic Styler. I bought it at ULTA, and for some reason I want to say it was $300, I remember my grandma saying something about it, now ULTA has it for $185.  I couldn't take a good enough picture, my lighting is crap, so I got it from google! haha

I can honestly say out of all the flat irons I've used, this is my favorite, it's gets my hair straight in one try and it stays that way!
It only take a few seconds to heat up, too!
It also has a little swivel cord so you aren't limited to movement.
It beeps when it's hot.
It has an LED light to let you know it on, and/or hot.

Only cons would be that it's a little pricey, and limited settings.  But honestly I can live with limited settings, I use the highest settings anyways.

I don't know I really don't have any cons about this, I love it. I would suggest to everyone, it's definitely worth the money!

Hi everyone!

I really want to blog, but I just 1. don't have it in me and 2. don't know what to blog about.

So PLEASE, if you're reading this leave a comment with blogs you want to see!! If I could get a list put together, it'd be amazing I could just work off of that for awhile..

Thank you all..

Love you.

Product Review

I haven't been in the blogging mood lately, not sure whats up with me :( but don't worry, I'm back!

Today, I'm going to finally do my fish oil review!!

I just take The Vitamin Shoppe brand

Just an overview of what the bottle says,

• May reduce the risk of coronary heart disease
• Supports a healthy inflammation response
• Important for brain and eye development

I take it because it's said to help with acne, and all the reasons above are a great reason to take it!
I'll start out with the cons:

1. It staaaaaaaanks! Literally it smells like fish food. haha!! 
2.  Gives you gas, it only makes me burp.  Which that doesn't bother me, I burp like cray anyways.
3. If you don't eat with it, you'll be burping up the taste.

So, obviously I don't have that many cons, and even my cons are like "eh" when you take the pill you can't taste it, they also have different types of fish oil, my dad actually takes a "smoothie" thing, I'm not sure what it is, but it's flavored. You can see that the pill is like a horse pill, and that may bother some people, but for me, I've had to take pills that big and even sometimes bigger, for doctor's reasoning's. So it doesn't bother me.

Pros:
I've pretty listed my pros, when I read off what the bottle said.  I just didn't talk about the acne, I've noticed when I stop taking it my acne starts to get bad again, and the fish oil helps keep it down and not as bad as it was getting.  But really all in all I suggest people take it!! It's really good for you and I don't really have any complaints!
I know weird that I did a fish oil review, but I really had no idea how well it would work and now I try to remember to take it every day.

Product Review!

Hey ya'll! I tried to use this "Clean Makeup" by Cover Girl in shade 220 Creamy Natural.
It's a light weight, natural coverage foundation. 

The only thing I liked about this product is it was light weight! Other than that it really dried out my face and started to flake off, with it just being on for 5 minutes, I'm not sure if it's just because I have sensitive skin or because I applied it with a sponge.  I haven't tried applying it with my fingers, yet, since it did dry out my skin the first time. 

Since it is light weight it was super easy to take off! That is probably my favorite thing about this foundation! I realize this isn't necessarily a "new" product, but I wanted to review it anyways.  And kind of ask you guys what your thoughts are, should I try applying it with a brush or my fingers?? I used this on my cousins using a sponge and it turned out really nice, it didn't cake off or anything, so I'm thinking maybe it's my face. haha. :)

Sorry for the bad picture, it was taken with my laptop camera!

update!

Hey Ya'll!

Sorry I've abandoned my blog lately, this last month has been crazy, with family members being in and out of the hospital.  But no worries I am planning out blogs to work on now! 
I'm thinking my first blog back will be a review and then the next will be a did you know!

Since I'm already here blogging I might just end up posting my review tonight! We'll see, no promises though!

I haven't really caught up with the Sandy information these last few days, but I hope everyone on the east coast is safe! Sending lots of love and hugs your way, praying for everyone to stay safe and warm! Houses and other material items can be replaced, your lives cannot be! Stay strong! It may be stormy now, but it can't rain forever! :)

Bye!

ULTA Haul

Hey everyone! :)

Recently I went to ULTA to get my hair done!  I'll be posting before and after pictures, from blonde to dark and then after my most recent glaze! But right now I'm going to share what I bought! :)

First thing I bought was this makeup bag, I'm not sure if you fellow rewards members or receivers of the ULTA magazine/catalog this was a "free gift" with any purchase over so much, the ULTA in my town, had the "extras" for $10.  So I bought it! here's what's inside!

Everything in the bag:
Brushes; Sponge tip, eyeshadow brush, and contour brush.
Dual Ended Eyeliner; Deep brown and black.
ULTA Legendary Lengths Lengthening Mascara.
ULTA instant Nourish Facial Moisturizer.
ULTA Super Shiny Lip gloss; #18 Stellar
ULTA Blush; Adore.
ULTA lipstick; #218 Good Year For Wine.
The last item which is wrapped up in the pictures is Nail Lacquer "Femme Fatale" I was thinking about giving it away, but it's such a little bottle that it wouldn't even be worth it, I don't know, let me know what you guys think! :)


The final thing I bought was the bareMinerals Flawless Complexion Essentials.

It came with:
Prime Time Foundation Primer
Mineral Veil Finishing Powder
Mini Flawless Application Face Brush
I'm not sure if I'm going to like this, I didn't like the fact that I paid $15 for something so small, the Mineral Veil Finishing Powder is literally so small. There isn't hardly anything in there. We'll see how well I like it, it's my first bareMinerals purchase EVER, so I hope I like it!! :)

Also, I'm thinking of switching to Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation, if any of you know a better one please leave it in the comments below!
