Makeup!


Image

Before church services this Sunday Taylor went for more of a simple look. She shaped and filled her brows, and went for a dramatic cat eye to create a cute yet simplistic look. I filled and shaped my brows, did a cat eye, and added merlot lipstick by Mary Kay. It is one of my favorite lip colors! When I feel that I don’t do my makeup well, I always trust in my cat eye glasses to shield it, yet still make it somewhat cute! When in doubt, grab the cute glasses!!

This picture allows you to see more of how I do my cat eye, and how I shaped my eyebrows. As you can see, merlot definitely is my go to shade!

Simple, yet cute outfit ideas for the day!


All of the pictures below, are inexpensive and easy ways to layer clothes that you probably already have, to create an adorable, dressy/casual outfit! I am here to make your guys’ lives easier. To show you easy, inexpensive ways to create these adorable outfits! Even if the patterns/ colors aren’t the same, its the concept! Grab leggings , a scarf, and an over sized tee. Throw on some boots and out the door you go, but don’t forget your topknot! Scarves are always a necessary part of layering in the winter. It is always my go to. Even if you think ” Well I only have a band tee and jeans.” Add a scarf! It is simple things like that, that make an outfit go from boring to trendy! Give it a try, and see the difference it makes!

LOVE these boots!

My favorite part about this, is the simplicity of the hairdo! I believe hair styles like this, or a top knot would look the best with any of these three outfits! Alright girls, not rummage through your closet and start layering! I know sometimes it seems overwhelming trying to put something cute together, but it is truly as simple as grabbing something similar to the above pics and just throwing it all together! Give it a go girls:) 

Would love to see pics of what you all came up with! 🙂

How To: Pin Curls!


What you’ll need!

Image

Step #1

Curl your hair, either with a regular curling iron or a wand. I prefer a wand, only because I believe that the curl holds a lot longer without product. OH and don’t forget heat protectant. My sister and I like-

Image

Step #2

Image

Take your hair and roll under towards your scalp. This is why curling first is super important ! When you have straight hair without any type of wave at the bottom it is almost impossible to be able to have control on rolling it and it staying in place!

Step #3

Image

Pin the curl! These clips are the easiest way to hold it in place without leaving a crease!

Step #4

It is important to leave the clips in until the hair is completely cool all over. Generally a half an hour is the best amount of time to leave them in! Hairspray is optional depending on your hair type. I know some of you ladies have that poker straight hair and it’s impossible to hold curl!

Step #5

Image

Take out the pins, and brush out! You want to be careful with this. If you have finer hair/straight hair , simply separate with your fingers and fluff or tease a bit . I know that sometimes brushing can take the curl right out, and when pin curling, it’s all about the volume! If your hair tends to hold well, the brushing effect is very beautiful, and gives a very beautiful,  Rita Hayworth look!
