Save time when your getting ready for school

So usually I'm tired in the morning when I'm getting ready for school. but whenever i follow these steps, i save at least 10 minutes!

1. i prepare what I'm going to wear, that night (i know many people say this, but it works)
2. if I'm going to take a shower i prepare all my soaps and all the other stuff the night before
3. take a quick shower. it will wake you up in the mornings
4. go to bed early! honestly, don't sleep late, you'll just be rushing the next morning
5. know what the weather will be like (so you can pick your outfit)
6. if you wear makeup prepare your vanity (or bathroom) the night before, work in a clean, neat space!
7. if you don't plan on doing something special (like curling or flat ironing your hair) then DON'T DO IT! it just makes you rush and waste time!
8. don't space out! i know its hard, but it really uses up a lot of time!
9. and most importantly, relax! its just school! you will have bad and good days, today is just one or the other!

I'm doing Project Pan!

So I'm going to start doing project pan! and for those of you guys who don't know what project pan is, its a project where you will either use up ___ beauty related products or you will see how many beauty products you can use in ___ amount of time!

I'll be doing the first one, using 10 beauty products i have. I'm going to list those beauty products!

1. my eos honeysuckle lip balm
2. my baby lips peppermint lip balm
3. my herbal essences (purple flavor) shampoo
4. my bath and body works black raspberry vanilla lotion
5. my current face wash (clean and clear)
6. my current shampoo (head and shoulders 2in1 dandruff control for swimming)
7. my eos sweet mint lip balm
8. my bath and body works sweet pea OR cherry blossom lotion (depends on which one i want to keep)
9. my current body wash (suave cherry blossom)
10. my bath and body works lemon cream hand sanitiser.

the reason I'm doing this is to get rid of most of these products. I'm getting rid of them because either they don't work, or i don't like them. i will be updating this project ban every 3 products i use.

Dry your nail polish faster with water?

My best lip balms.

So basically I've tried a lot of lip balms and i only have 3 that i will actually buy again. I've tried blistex, nivea kiss of moisture, eos, burts bees, neutrogena, chapstick, lip smacker (haha, fail), and probably others that I've forgotten about because they were being stupid.

Blistex- My 2nd favorite! I used the green flavor (mint) and it really worked! It was cheap too, $1-$2

Nivea (a kiss of moisture)- well this really hydrated a lot, but i got the plain flavor and it was soo GROSS i threw away the lip balm!

Eos- well i made a review on this but, its my 3rd favorite, i might buy the mint, cuz i didn't like the honeysuckle honeydew.

Burts bees- FIRST! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! the mint smells great, a little waxy, but it really made my lips soft!

neutrogena- The free sample that came with the sunscreen. it smelt weird, and didn't hydrate

chapstick- cherry smells horrible, but hydrated a little, if i bought mint i might have liked it

lip smacker- has cool flavors, but doesn't do anything to your lips.

stuffed animals are a great accessory!

So recently I've been redecorating my room. kinda. and i just took out like 10 stuffed animals to make the room more filled up.

Small plushy can be put anywhere and make a cute accessory.
large plushy can me put on top of your bed, and make it look like you actually use the bed.

Art can be a great decoration

If its your own art, or something you purchased, art can be a really sophisticated decorations. Make sure that the art goes with your room and your room theme.

Candles-spice up any room!

No matter whether or not you want to light them or not, candles are great for the odor and decoration of ANY room.
you can use candles for a color scheme, or making your room smell nice. Candles spice up and make your room more elegant.
Since candles never go out of style, you can buys lots and pair them with your bedspread, or the seasons of the year! They are also really great gifts!

Cute shoes that arent comfertable?

Okay, imagine you just got the CUTEST SHOES but they are too small, or the sole isn't comfortable. Here are 2 great tips that will allow you to make that shoe last!

1. if the shoe is too small, get a zip lock bag, put it in the sole of the shoe, and fill the bag with water. put the shoe in the freezer and let it sit there until the water becomes ice. The shoe will stretch around 1/2 to 1 size bigger! You CAN get those cute shoes that are too small for you!

2. If the sole of your shoe isn't comfortable, or makes your heels ache, then go to your cvs, target, Walgreen's, or any place that sells shoe SOLE support! the shoes that have little or NO arch support are probably gonna mess with your back and foot! the soles are around $20 BUT can support you with any shoe!

okay well there are germs and bacteria all over your mouth, and when you brush your teeth and floss (and maybe brush your tongue) there are still germs on the roof of your mouth, the inside of your cheeks and around your gums. if you rinse with mouthwash for 15 seconds, some of those germs will go away, and you will have a clean mouth, AND have good breath!!!

Okay well this phone is like 3 years old, but if your going to get it, then here's a review!!!

Lots of people say that the phone dies in like 6 months, but mine lasted around 2 years. it just died a couple weeks ago, so I'm getting a new phone soon.

Pros: Has camera
     slide out qwerty keyboard
     touch screen only for dialing a phone #
     has calendar, alarm clock, calculator, and more
     has speed dial
     (more features, you can just google it, cuz this is a review)

Cons: Kinda hard to type sometimes
     camera has no zoom when your taking the picture
     bulky (compared to all the new phones coming out now)

how my phone died: well it just started to freeze and the buttons wouldn't work. so i refreshed it my taking the battery out and in. it still freezes.

Review: Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Acne Wash

Okay guys, I have acne, and it is visible, so i tried the famous pink grapefruit neutrogena acne wash.
This wash works on a lot of different people, but it didn't work on my skin type.


My skin type is a combination of oily and dry. My forehead, temples, nose, and sometimes chin are oily. my cheeks and mouth area are dry. My forehead is the part with the acne, and sometimes my nose will have blackheads and clogged pores.

I saw this face wash on TV and i was like, eh whatever, ill give it a try.

Pros: Smells GREAT
     got rid of some pimples on my forehead (so its good for oily skin)
     its oil free
     it has Salicylic acid for acne treatment
     the bottle lasted me around 2 months

Cons: After you wash your face, you don't feel that nice clean feeling every time
     dried out my cheek and mouth area
     the pump on the bottle isn't very easy to lock/unlock
     if u press on the bottle some soap comes out the spring of the pump
     dried out cheeks and mouth so bad, it started to flake.
    

Review: eos lip balm, honeysuckle honeydew

It's been about 2 months since I've tried the EOS (evolution of smooth) lip balm, honeysuckle honeydew. This it the green colored ball of lip balm.

                                                    here is the opened lip balm

Cons: ball shape is unique, but is very inconvenient if you carry your lip balm in your pocket.

     It hydrated my lips at first, but now my lips are chapped again.

     I wasn't fond of its sweet smell.

     It left a waxy feel on my lips. 

     It's around $3.50, which is kind of pricey for this quality lip balm

Pros: very hydrating the first 2 weeks.

     Ball shaped lip balm made it easy to glide on your lips

     Flat bottom so it wouldn't roll around

     

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone because it didn't hydrate as much as it said it would.
