The Fun of Summer

I absolutely love this time of the year! It is gorgeous outside and the fashions are so fun! One fashion trend to do this year is Summer Dresses. They are all so much fun and flirty.

There are all different types of summer dresses to chose from depending on your body type. In Style Magazine is talking about what looks good on whom.


For us tall girls, we are recommended to have a dress that's just above the knee. The neck line for us that looks  the best and is cute is the high neck line.

On a personal note I love wearing Capri leggings with summer dresses or your favorite skinny jeans. That way you can still have fun with all of your summer activities and not have to worry about your dress riding up.

Shorter, petite girls are recommend about the same, but with more of a neck line that's not so high. To high of a neck line for you can make you look short.

If you have curves it's recommended that you show them off. Have your dress more fitting at your waist to help show them off the best.

Have fun this season with going out and getting a new dress to wear. There are so many different styles and cute colors to choose from.

Today's the Day

Change is always a good thing to do once in awhile in your life. It helps you feel renewed and your ready to take on the world. A simple change to do for your hair is adding bangs to your style.

A few years ago I got straight across bangs while I was attending Taylor Andrews. Back then I was way nervous to cut my long hair or change my color. So what I did is I decided to get bangs. I changed my whole look and I felt like a new person. The straight across bangs are very "in" right now and are a fun edgy look to have. They are way easy to style; just comb them down and blow dry them straight down with heat. Depending how your cowlicks are on your front hairline you could also use a round brush to blow dry them.

Some fun things I did while I had bangs, I went to Vegas to the North America Hairstyling Awards, I did my first photo shoot, and I graduated from Taylor Andrews. I also met Phillip Wilson a great hair artist and FHI educator.

Have a new experience with some fun, flirty bangs. Let today be your day of change.

All Tangled Up

It gets so frustrating when you get out of the shower and have to kill your arms by brushing your hair. It's tiring, and gets tangled so easily. If you are having this problem ask yourself "when was the last time I had a haircut?"

When you keep your hair trimmed up every seven weeks you can solve that tangled problem. One of the problems can be that you have split ends. Those split ends get hooked on each other any time they get thrown around each other. Having fresh ends doesn't only make you feel better and make your hair style easier; it also helps you from getting headaches from brushing your hair.

Another thing is do is to make sure your using a leave-in conditioner or a good conditioner when your washing your hair. Pureology's Hydrate Conditioner is great for tangling dried out hair. Leave it on for a few mintues then rinse it out. Apply to your ends and work up with it. You can see it under my posts on March's Products.

Contact me to schedule your haircut to help out those split ends. Contact info is at the bottom of the page.

Blue Eyed Bombshells

Here's a make up tip for you gals with blue eyes. What works well with blue eyes and helps bring the color out in them. When it comes to the best eye shadow color to wear it's brown. When you go with warm tones with blue eyes it really lets your eyes stand out in their own beauty.

There are several different shades of brown you can play around with. I have blue eyes myself, and what I normally do when applying my eye shadow is I use three different colors.

I first start with a highlighter which is a white or light cream color sometimes that has a shimmer to it. I apply this with a brush right underneath the arch of my eye brow. Whenever your applying any kind of eye shadow make sure you tap your brush after you have got the color on your brush. This way you not putting to much on, it's always easy applying more than taking it all off. 

Now the second color is your base color for me is normally another cream color that has more of a softer look to it. Or you can use a light brown too. When applying the second color you're going to be applying it to the lid of your eye. Do this in little circle motions instead of one swipe.

Then your third color is your accent color which is your darker color. When applying this only apply it in the cease of your eye lid. The cease is the space between your eye and your brow bone. Your brush strokes will swipe into this cease making a half of a half circle. You don't want the darker color on your inside lid. One rule with colors on eye shadow is lighter on the inside of your lid then gradually darker as you come to the outside.

If you take your finger and put it along side of your nose and then without picking up your finger pivot it towards your eye. Stop when the tip of your finger comes to the outer edge of your eye, this is your imaginary line when applying eye shadow. You don't want your eye shadow to come outside of the line. Then you will be going back into the 80's.

You will learn as you do it more and more. Brown is not the only color you can wear it's always fun to have a day of experimenting. Brown tones are just whats going to help really bring out the blue. I personally love to wear violet tones as well. I hope this helps all of you with blue eyes, and even you that don't. I will post more of what colors look best for what eye colors.

Gettin' Dirty

When you have day old hair and don't know what to do with it, and you get frustrated. Don't worry I am about to give you some hair do's that work the best with dirty hair. 

First thing first, when you take your shower for the day just rinse your hair with water. Doing this will help with oiliness. Even though it does not take out the oils it's rinsing some of them out and also helps with product you had in your hair the day before. While rinsing act as though your rinsing out conditioner. Let the water just run through your hair, and then gently scrub a little by your hair line and hair part. These places are the places normally get the most oily.

Second, I like to put in a volume curl mouse. That way it will help my hair with it's style for the day. Then blow dry your hair. Now there are a number of options to choose from on how you can wear your hair, but I will give you some easy ones at first.

Wavy hair is easy to have with day old hair, and your still able to have it down. Your hair will hold the wave better than if you did it when it's clean. This is one style that I always do for my second day hair. It's fun and flirty. My last hair tip will tell you exactly how to achieve wavy hair.

The braid is always a fun one to do and there are so many ways of doing braids. A simple one is to take your hair over to the side as a pony and braid it instead. Or if you want your hair down for the day braid your bangs back.

Rock your natural texture. Most people have their own natural wave or curl to their hair. If you have one go for it. 

The biggest trend right now is to be natural looking. If you put mouse in your hair and just take your fingers and scrunch your hair lightly you can bring out your natural hair texture. Also with your going to do this let your hair mostly air dry. Then before it's all the way dry if you want you can take a diffuser it to dry it all the way. Now I know that my own hair on the top sometimes doesn't like to be as wavy as the rest of my hair. If you experience this what I do is take a curling iron the same size of curl that my natural is, and lightly curl big sections on the top. Then separate the curl always. Sometimes when we have our natural curl come out it can look frizzy. Use a little serum to help with this. I recommend the Argan 6 oil by Redken. You can find out more about this products under March's Products Tag on the right side of my blog.

Go experience some fun new ways to wear your hair. Also if you haven't followed my blog yet just read under the About Me section and it will tell you how. Then you can comment to me to let me know how things work for you.

Cuff Bracelets are One Fashion Must Have

If you haven't noticed lately Gold is making a statement these days. One of the best ways I like to wear it is on my wrist. I have come to love bracelets; you can wear them with almost anything.
The latest look for bracelets is the bold cuff bracelets. They can really add to your look by dressing anything up, and looking a little more flirty of a look. There are so many different styles of these cuff bracelets to choose from. I personally like the rose gold look, it is so pretty and modern looking. I am differently liking this fashion trend for this season.

These cuff bracelets are at Nordstorms. I am very tempted to go down to the new City Creek Center to go buy me one.

How to Have Wavy Hair

One of this springs hot new looks is the natural look. The look where it looks like you really didn't do much to get ready. I personally love this look and it is very beautiful. A natural look you can do is to put some simple waves in your hair. You can do this for both short or long hair; it looks cute for both. 

First start with whatever size of curling iron you would like. Second, section your hair off by starting underneath and then while you finish that section take out more til done. Your sections a be big. Just if you have thick hair make sure when your curling your section that it isn't to big that the heat can't get to all of the hair.

One thing about curling hair is that you should not start curling at the bottom. Instead take your section and start in the middle of the section and curl up. Now, once you curl up slide your curling iron down so your then you will be at the bottom of the hair. When you take out don't pull! Be gentle and slowly take the iron out, then leave it. Once you have come to the top of your head to the sides. Curl these pieces outward, so the curl is not going into your face. This is more attractive and opens up your face.

When your done curling take a aerosol hair spray arms length away and spray your curls. (If your hair has a hard time keeping a curl you can spray each section as you go along). Then to fully achieve the natural wave take either your fingers or a brush and go through your curls. Once done finish off with a spray and have fun!

The Fun of Being a Blond

Being a blond has it's advantages. I have been blond most of my life, and it is just recently that I am more of a brunette. I would say that blonds do have a lot of fun. One advantage of being a blond is that you don't have to worry about your hair color fading. Another one is that your hair will always shine. Blond hair reflects light, and because of this you won't absorb heat from the sun in the summer time. In the summer we all know that it gets hot and we're always trying to find a way to cool down. Have you ever thought of changing your hair color. Blonds don't absorb heat as much as darker hair color, so naturally, they will be cooler.

Having blond hair is fun to have in the summer time. When I was really blond I loved my highlights within my already blond hair. The sun in the this coming season will help with that. Something fun that I did when I had blond hair is I did a lot of traveling. I had platinum blond hair through high school and through hair school. During this time I went to Disneyland; Hollywood; Zions; and Vegas. While I was in Hollywood I would get told that I should have played Marylin Monroe at the Chinese Theater because of my hair.  I loved my hair and felt always in fashion with it. In hair school I got some heavy straight across bangs that immediately gave me more style, and it really showed off my different colors of blond in my hair. One thing I learned from being blond is you will always have an excuse for your not so thought out conversations ha ha. Now the problem is when I have these moments I don't have much reason. I guess I'll always be blond at heart both on moments in life and the fun I have throughout it.
