New Trend: Caviar Nails
You guys have probably been hearing about this a lot by now and seen this on some other blogs but a new nail trend is going on. The nail polish brand Ciate available from Sephora has come up with a new caviar line.
They have several different colors and it looks like you have individually put what seem like beads on your nails to give a hot and complex, but awesome look. Highly recommend that you buy these and see how you like them, because the look is totally unique and you will definitely impress your friends.
Dress to Impress!

Beauty Tip of the Week #5
Hey y'all!
How long has it been since I've posted??? Jeesh. Forever, I know. And since I haven't done one of these segments in ages - oh my gosh, I hear the ice cream truck outside! Wait, sorry - I decided I would start with this. Today, I will be talking about perfume. Now, most people think that deodorant is good enough and it's not like you are going to smell bad, however don't you want to smell extra good? Perfumes and body mists are not only pleasing to the senses but make a great first impression, especially at a college, school, or job interview. People will think, 'this person cares about them self, so we should care about them too.' This is a very short post but I think it's a person's preference what perfume they use. Cheers!
Love and hugs.

Beauty Tip of the Week #4
Hey guys!
Since I've got virtually nothing to do, here is my next segment for 'Beauty Tip of the Week.' This week's tip has to do with HAIR. Now, I'm not posting any pictures but I think this is quite straight-forward. Hair is really important for presentation. You can have the most gorgeous face out there, but if your hair is gross and messy - people won't appreciate you as much. There are three components to having healthy, thick, and beautiful hair. First is the right shampoo - I like to use shampoos without any sodium because that isn't healthy for the hair and organic shampoo is obviously the best because it doesn't involve any chemicals. Second is using conditioner - many girls think conditioner is not very useful and so they stop using it but whether it's a 2-in-1 conditioner and shampoo, a separate conditioner, or a cleansing conditioner (like the one I showed you earlier), it is key for moisturized hair. The last and most important component is obviously BRUSHING your hair, both morning and night. The Chinese say that you should brush a hundred strokes each morning and each night for your hair.
Stay beautiful!

Home Review: Cornstarch as a Dry Shampoo
As many of you all may have heard, cornstarch is a common home remedy for dry shampoo instead of going and buying some $60 bottle of shampoo powder that works just as well. I highly recommend cornstarch as it removes oil and dirt from your hair the same way dry shampoo powders do. Here is how I apply it: First, I take a generous amount (I have extremely thick hair) and spread it just on the roots of my hair, especially where my hair parts. Then, I wait about a minute or two to let it soak up the dirt and grime, and I then massage it all over the roots of my entire scalp. Make sure you don't try to put it on the ends of your hairs because that's not the way it works. After massaging it throughout the roots of your scalp, take comb or a brush and gently sweep it through your hair to get rid of the powder.
Tips:
-It is best to start out with a small amount if this is your first time (you can always add more later if you feel your hair is still oily)
-It is best to use a fine-toothed comb so that excess isn't left in your hair
-Put an amount based on the thickness of your hair (everyone's hair varies!)
-It may feel as if your hair is still oily after you have done the routine, but just wait 5-10 minutes
-Please Note: This does not remove all oil in your hair - no dry shampoo does either, it is to remove majority of the oil so that you don't have to constantly wash your hair
-Warning: This is not for everyday use - don't think you don't have to take showers because you have a dry shampoo - what about body wash!? :)
Stay clean and beautiful! ;)
