Dos and Don'ts: Eyebrows (Sparse)

Hello everyone, I know its been foreverrrrrr since I've posted anything. I've just been super busy with school, but do not worry because.....IM BACK ! lol.

Over the years I've been struggling (and still am) with my eyebrows. I just cannot find anyone to do them the way I want them to because I have sparse eyebrows. I hate that I do not have enough hairs and they grow scattered, but recently I've been trying to find ways to make them look decent looking, I've made mistakes and learned from them. So I'm going to give you these dos and don'ts to doing your eyebrows, if you have sparse eyebrows like me.


DON'T: Shave your eyebrows with a regular razor.This can cause you to make mistakes in shaping your eyebrows and cause you shave off big chunks of hair.

DO: Use a eyebrow razor. The shape of it is much smaller and thinner. So it will make it easier for you to shape the eyebrows the way you want. Just shave off the hairs little by little that way you won't make any mistakes.

DON'T: Trim your hair every time you get your eyebrows done. This can cause them to get much lighter and thinner. After a while, you will look like you have no eyebrows. That's no way to being a trendsetter.

DO: Let your hair grow and get them trimmed every other time you get your eyebrows done. That way when you get them done, they would look fuller and much more structured.

DON'T: Tattoo your eyebrows. That is a huge no-no.  We are not in the 90s anymore. Once you tattoo them, its permanent and after a while the color will fade and it would not be pretty.

DO: Use an eyebrow pencil or powder. (Anastasia Brow Wiz $21, e.l.f Studio Eyebrow Kit $2)

This will make your eyebrows appear more natural, and the best part of it all, if you make a mistake you can wipe it off and try again. You can customize your eyebrows the way you want to. If you can't seem to get that arch on your eyebrow, you can simply create it.

 

P.S. Your eyebrows are not going to look exactly the same. Just like they say your eyebrows are cousins not sisters (I think that's the saying lol)

 

 

Well I hope this helps and comment down below if you have any other eyebrow dos and don'ts, until next time byeeee xoxoxoxo

13 Reasons to Use Apple Cider Vinegar!

Hey my loves!

Recently I was watching the news about apple cider vinegar. I honestly never heard about it but it talked about so many great benefits that it has. So I wanted to share with you 13 reasons why you should start using apple cider vinegar.

First off, What is apple cider Vinegar?

According to Wikipedia, Apple cider vinegar, otherwise known as cider vinegar or ACV, is a type of vinegar made from cider or apple must and has a pale to medium amber color. Unpasteurized or organic ACV contains mother of vinegar, which has a cobweb-like appearance and can make the vinegar look slightly congealed. ACV is used in salad dressings, marinades, vinaigrettes, food preservatives, and chutneys, among other things. It is made by crushing apples and squeezing out the liquid. Bacteria and Yeast are added to the liquid to start the alcoholic fermentation process, and the sugars are turned into alcohol. In a second fermentation process, the alcohol is converted into vinegar by acetic acid-forming bacteria (acetobacter). Acetic acid and malic acid give vinegar its sour taste.



1. Apple cider vinegar can detoxify your home.
Using Apple cider vinegar can decrease the unatural chemical in our homes and our lives.

2. It can make your hair shine.
Want to make your hair super shiny? Apple cider vinegar can be used as a rinse for your hair after shampooing, and will boost your hair's body and shine. You can use any bottle, even your old shampoo bottle, fill it with 1/2 a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and a cup of cold water. Pour the solution through your hair after shampooing several times a week to see dramatic results.

3. Natural apple cider vinegar regulates the pH of your skin.
Apple cider vinegar can be used as a natural toner. So you won't have to spend money on a regular toner.You can do this at night after washing your face , and in the morning before you apply your moisturizer. A dab of apple cider vinegar can also be left on the skin overnight to fade age spots or acne scars. It is also recommended to treat warts.

4. It can remove stains from teeth.
Rub teeth directly with apple cider vinegar, and rinse with water.

5. It can soothe sunburnt skin.
Add a cup of apple cider vinegar to your bath, and soak for 10 minutes to eliminate discomfort from sunburn.

6. Apple cider vinegar can be used as a natural aftershave.
Fill a bottle with equal parts apple cider vinegar and water, and shake before applying to the face. So this is perfect for people who have sensative skin.

7. It's an all-natural massage treatment.
Rubbing apple cider vinegar on your hands and feet will give massage-like benefits and relief to tired hands and feet.

8. Apple cider vinegar can help you loss weight.
 Just add 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar to 16 ounces of water daily. This can be sipped throughout the day. Data shows some limited, yet significant, weight loss benefits from sustained daily intake of acetic acid (which is a main ingredient in apple cider vinegar).
 According to a 2009 study published in Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, it was found that subjects that consumed acetic acid for 12 weeks experienced significant declines in body weight, abdominal fat, waist circumference and triglycerides. Triglycerides contribute to the bad cholesterol that we want to avoid.

9. Apple cider vinegar can help you gain energy.
   Drink few times a day for a natural boost of energy!

10. It can help you detox.
As part of balancing the body's pH, apple cider vinegar creates an overall detoxification of the body. Research shows that it can help stimulate cardiovascular circulation and help detoxify the liver.

11. ACV can help you reduce heartburn.
Though it might seem like an oxymoron to treat stomach acid with an acid-containing vinegar, there is research suggesting that apple cider vinegar works by correcting low acid, Which will reduce heartburn. Natural remedy experts say you should begin to feel relief very shortly after taking a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar followed by a glass of water. Note that apple cider vinegar will not give relief if you have an ulcer.

12. The use of apple cider vinegar is effective in repelling fleas on your pets.
One part vinegar and one part water can be sprayed on your pets fur and rubbed in generously to the skin. Saturate the entire coat, and continue every day for a few days to a week. Any flea infestation will surely be gone.

13. It's an all-natural room freshener.
Apple cider vinegar will clean your toilets and leave your bathroom smelling like apples! Just pour apple cider vinegar into the toilet, and allow it to sit overnight. It can also be used in dishwashers as a substitute for dish detergent. Mix 1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar with 1 cup water, and you can use this solution to clean microwaves, kitchen surfaces, windows, glasses and mirrors, too.

So commet below and tell me what you think about this and if you have tried it.

Ulta Products Review

Hey guys ....and Happy Halloween !!

Its one of my favorite holidays and I can't wait to watch horror movies all day lol Anyways, as promised (sorry again it took me soo long)  I'm finally going to be doing a review on the products that I previously bought from Ulta. The first product that I'm going to mention is Ouidad Wave Create Sea Spray. I was so excited to use this spray because I've heard so many great reviews about it. I also wanted to try out a product that will give my hair that will give my hair that beachy look. I tried this product a couple of times and it didnt make my hair have that beachy look. It still looked very poofy and not wavy. I followed all of the directions that it said and it did not work. The only pro that I would give it is that it smells sooo good, it has like a coconut scent.There is another product which is the texterizing taffy, which is like a paste. I have thick hair so I think the taffy should work because it comes in a paste form, instead of a spray form. I will update all of you  on how the taffy works for me when I purchase it. On to the next product, Paul Mitchell Extra-Body Daily Boost. Where do I begin with this? I love this product; It definitly does what it saids. It give you so much volume in your hair and it doesnt leave any residue in your hair at all. I will continue to purchase this product and recommend it for any girl that wants to add alittle volume to their hair. If you like this review please comment down below and one again have a happy and safe Halloween :)

Benefit POREfessional Review !

Hey guys, so as promised I'm going to be doing a review on the Benefit POREfessional. This my first out of 3 reviews that I promised from my Ulta haul post. So if you haven't heard of the Benefit POREfessional before, its a pore minimizing primer. There has been a bunch of reviews on YouTube on it and let me tell you this primer is a miracle worker. As mentioned before, I have really large pore on the bottom of my eyes. So when I first heard of this product, I thought it was too good to be true. When I tried it myself, I knew all the beauty gurus on YouTube weren't kidding. After I tried it for a few days I definitely noticed a diffrence in my skin. It definitely minimized the appreance of my pores and it makes my skin very soft. When I put it on with my foundation,  it makes my skin look flawless. I understand now why the regular size one cost $30. Its really worth the money and I will go and buy one very soon. I really recommend this product. I will be trying out other primers to compare but I know that the Benefit POREfessional is going to be my holy grail for primers. Like I mentioned before, I'm going to be doing other reviews from my Ulta haul so stay tuned for that :)

Time to put away the bikini, sunblock, tank tops and shorts and get out your coats, scarfs and boots because know what that means, Fall is officially here! I'm going to let you know the latest color trends for the fall. Violet, this is the staple color for the fall; It is such a beautiful color. You can use this to your nails, clothing and to add a little pop of color to your makeup when your out on the town. So if you have Rebel by MAC, definitely use it and if you don't go to your Macy's and go get one now! Bloody/dark reds, are another color that is great for the fall. I'm soo going to try this color for the fall.You can definitely use this color on your lips, especially for the Halloween to match a costume that you are wearing, or for the Holidays. Two other great colors are gold and silver. Gold chains are a really big trend this season.This color is great for the holidays just like red. Especially the grey because it will match with almost everything. If you want to add a pop of color to your fall collection, there are two colors that yu should get. Orange is the color that you should get because it is the color of the pumpkins and Halloween. Its the basic Fall color that you would see throughout the season. Colbat blue has been trendy thoughout the summer and its here for the fall also; Sally Hansen in Pacific Blue is definirly that color. I am obessed with the color and will be using it for this fall :)

Brighter and Clearer Skin

I know every girl out there wants to have brighter and clearer skin. Well I have found that product that does just that. Its the Noxzema Originial Deep Cleansing cream. When I was younger, I used to have really bad skin. I used to have breakouts all over my face. I didn't have the really bad red acne, it was just the normal acne. It was just so much that I had on my face. I tried a few products here and there until my mother recommended me to try the Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream. I put it on every night before I went to sleep. While your sleeping is because your body is relaxed and it is best for your skin. The cream dries up all the acne in your skin. When you put it on, you will have a cool feeling on your skin, pretty much like menthol. After using this cream for a while you will see clearer and even brighter skin. Also it will leave your skin super soft. You can find the Noxzema Original Deep Cleansing Cream eveywhere for $3.
