salon mani pedi

okay so here's how to so a salon worthy manicure. but at home!!

sorry this was short. I've been very busy lately, but ill hope to start to post longer posts in the holidays, since thanksgiving and Christmas break is  gonna happen.

1. use nail polish remover (i hate this step, so i skip it.)
2. soak you hands in warm water (or wash them, whatever you like)
3. apply a lotion to your hands (honestly, i feel like this does nothing, because oil on your nails makes the nail polish chip easier. but that's what they do at salons to make you feel pampered)
4. clean off your fingernails (to get rid of the oil from the lotion)
5. push your cuticles back
6. paint them! 
7. wait until all dry. OR ELSE!! HA HA! HAPPY HALLOWEEN GUYS!

HOT CHOCOLATE

AH I LOVE THE WINTER SEASON! here's a Delicious, easy hot chocolate recipe.

You will need: a stove, milk (or water) chocolate (or a hot coco packet), a pot, and a cup.  OPTIONAL: Caramel, salt, whipped cream, and marshmallows

1. boil the milk or water on the stove. if you are using milk, keep stirring so it doesn't burn. 
2. when the liquid is hot and boiled, and the chocolate or hot coco powder. 
3. stir it up until the chocolate melts or until the powder is gone
4. pour it in a cup and let it cool a little bit. don't burn your tongue!

OPTIONAL: put whipped cream on top and drizzle some caramel. put a small bit of salt (trust me, it works, Starbucks does it, so I'm not crazy) and if you want extra sweetness, and marshmallows!

YOU CAN ALSO MICROWAVE THE LIQUIDS INSTEAD OF BOILING IN STEPS 1&2. THIS SAVES AROUND 5 MINUTES!

Last min at home halloween ideas!

SO i know Halloween is in like 6 days so here are some last min costume and makeup ideas!

Artist: An easy, lay back look.
Costume: get a plain white tee shirt, some jeans, and some paint, go outside or to a place you don't mind getting paint on. splatter paint on the plain white tee. you can accessorise with earrings and a belt, but that was a quick costume.
Makeup: your normal foundation routine and not to dramatic mascara. Do some bright blush, and don't use bronzer. use a neutral eyeshadow.

Dorthy: A cuter costume, you will need to purchase some parts for this costume.
Costume: A nice fitting white tee shirt, a blue and white kitchen apron, black tights, and a white poofy skirt.
wear the white tee and skirt under the apron. optional: a toy dog and basket.
Makeup: Normal foundation and bronzer. do a light pink blush, dramatic eyelashes, and a bronze eyeshadow combo, darker in the crease.

Sorry there were only two, i didn't really have time to think things up, but these will work if you want cute, simple costumes.

Nail Hydration tutorial!

so if your like me and love to do your nails a ton! then you are probably looking for a hydration technique. well here it is!

You will need: a small bottle, scented lotion, a full stick of lip balm (and yes, I'm using my project pan one), a plate that you do not eat off, a microwave, and a spoon you no longer use

 

the finished product is on the bottom of the image collage.

Steps:

1. get the lip balm and remove it from the stick, put it on the plate and microwave it for 30 seconds, or until the lip balm melts into a liquid.

2. fill the little bottle with lotion, and pour in the lip balm.

3. Quickly stir up the whole mixture so the lip balm doesn't cool in a big clump.

4. Freeze the mixture for 2 hours, or until frozen. Defrost before use.
