The BEST nail polish color for toes.

Before I begin my post I would like to say this idea was given to me via one of my comments, so comment! Tell me what you would like to know! Ask questions, make suggestions, anything goes (as long as it's not mean of course)!

Sick and tired of plain, nail-polish-less toes? Don't want to pick the wrong color (even though removing it is easy)? Who isn't? But which color's the best? Hmmm...

Guess what? There are 2 'best colors'!

1. The first 'best color' is something you might not expect, baby blue. But not shimmery, mermaid-y blue, matte almost-frosty blue. It's a great base for designs, and looks great on short as well as long nails. Plus it works year-round, so you don't have to switch out nail polishes if you're feeling lazy



2. The second 'best' nail color is also light. It's light, slightly beige, matte pink. Matte colors are very in this fall, and this pink is no different. It also works great for fingers. (So does the blue.)


So get ready for fabulous toes, because now you know which colors are the best.

Cherry lipstain, this falls best lip color.



Want to know what to wear on your lips this fall? u can push y0ur gloss and lipstick to the bottom of your makeup drawer, becaues lipstain is the lip product of choice. But not just any color lip stain, try cherry.
Yes I’m talking about lipstain, but if you want to rock lipstain you need to learn the secrets of the trade. First of all, lipstain never goes on even, it leaves blotchy dark spots, and weird light spots. To avoid this rub your lipstain in after you apply it, and remember to check in the mirror before you go out to save from stained skin too. Secondly make sure you pick a good lipstain to avoid rub off. Try out last lipstain. I wore it at a the beach this summar and it lasted through dinner and swimming. Wow is right. But the perfect color for this fall is cherry. Make it darker in the middle of lips and gently lighten it out form there.
So wear it right this summar with cheery lipstain.
So wear it right this fall, will lipstain.

DIY facial.


Facial are an essential part of keeping your face clean and glowing, but they are costly (what isn’t these days?) and some can hurt like face peels. So I have discovered the perfect DIY (do it yourself) facial.

First, take a shower, feeling clean and beautiful makes the whole experience nicer. Also the steam in the shower helps open up your pores so they can release dirt and grime that can cause pimples.

After getting out of the shower run a wash cloth under hot water and rub the wash cloth on your face, this also helps to open up pores.

After applying the washcloth use a facial scrub. You can easily make one by putting honey (if you can, use Manuka honey, it has special healing properties) and sugar into a bowl and mixing, easy as pie, right? Then put the scrub on your face and move your hands in slow circular movements, this opens the pores and takes out all the dirt and washes it away.

Wash the scrub off with warm water. After the scrub completely washes off, take a handful of honey (once again, preferably Manuca honey) and put it evenly on to your face. This soothes skin that might have been irritated by the scrub and also moisturizes. Leave the honey on for at least 30 minutes. My favorite pastime during this is to paint my nails, that way when your completely finished with your facial, you’ll have beautiful nails too.

Only paint your toenails, because if you paint your nails you might rub off the polish when removing the honey. I find that after this whole experience my skin is left soft and surprisingly smooth, and that I am also calm and relaxed. This treatment is perfect for a night in with friends or a mother/daughter bonding experience.
