ENJOY THE HOLIDAY AND GIVE THANKS FOR ALL THINGS…BIG AND SMALL!

Well Labor Day has come and gone. That means the last day for the pool! And for our traditional fashionistas that also means saying goodbye to wearing white. But for our more adventurous ladies who prefer to set their own fashion rules, wearing white after Labor Day is the norm! For those who are apprehensive about breaking the rule, the KEY is to OWN IT with confidence! Don’t walk around wondering if people are judging you because you’re wearing white. BE BOLD and OWN IT!!! If you DARE to break the rules here are some cool ways to do it!

Hey ladies! If you haven’t started getting your wardrobe ready for fall, now is the time! While we dread saying goodbye to warm, sunny, summer days, we welcome the opportunity to change things up as far as clothing is concerned. We are loving the trends we’ll be seeing this fall, and one of those trends is Animal Print.

While we recognize that animal print can be scary for some, especially when OVER done, we love how this fall trend is a simple way to add POP to an outfit! If you are not a fan of animal print but are willing to give it a try, we encourage you to introduce small accessories into your wardrobe and see where that takes you. Below we’ve selected a few items for the animal print “novice”, as well as the animal print lover (like myself – - ->unhealthy obsession). But please, please, pleeeeaaase DON’T OVER DO IT! In most cases, ONE animal print item is all you need in an outfit….two at the most! Happy Shopping!!!

Fall Fashion Trend: Animal Print by erickasymonette

During this economy everyone is looking for ways to look good on a budget. Many women/moms don’t realize that they have the key ingredients to look radiant right in the comfort of their own home. Here are a few tips to keep you looking good for less!!!

Eyes Makeup Tips For free

Having good eyebrows is just half of the job. Shape your eyebrows with a little bit saliva (spit for the common people) and a well-trained finger. The more experienced “fingershaper” will notice that this solution also have a nice side-effect, it also epilates your eyebrows (of course it won’t work if you have Bert and Ernie eyebrows).

Create a “Smokey eyes” look by drawing a line around your eyes with a carbon pencil and blend it out carefully with a brush. Vague out the line with the brush halfway to the moving eyelid (don’t vague out till the eyebrow bone). At the down side of your eye, the color in the outside corner of your eye darker and becomes lighter in the inside corner of your eye.

Cheeks Makeup Tips For free

Your grandmother might have done it when you were a little kid: pinching your cheeks to give it some color. Professional makeup artist also use this method. Jogging or even some hot sex will also give you a healthy gloss on your cheeks.

Make a good blush by mixing some lipstick with your foundation. It will give a contrast with some powder blushes not a grey haze, but a healthy blush.

Lips Makeup Tips Free

A toothbrush is not only functional for brushing your teeth or brushing your eyebrows, you can even use it to gently scrub your lips. It will even give you a “Just been kissed” look.

If you are going to buy something, make sure you buy Vaseline. It’s perfect to style your eyebrows with it. You can put it on your cheekbones, use it as hand and feet creme and of course as lip gloss.

Skin Makeup Tips for free

Caffeine is a very important ingredient in a lot of anti-cellulitis cremes. But you can also use coffee grinds while you are in the shower. Just give yourself a good massage with the coffee grinds.

More Makeup Tips and Advice

Organize a makeup trade day and invite some friends over. Don’t forget to ask them to bring along their makeup. Everyone has stuff that at the moment they bought it, they were feeling like they can’t live without it, but changed their minds after purchasing it. So trade with your friends. Try to trade unused makeup.

Refrigerators and kitchen cabinets are a very good source for most of the free stuff for your hair. Beer (use it as shampoo), Olive oil (use it as a hair mask) and lemon juice (bleach your hair with it) are excellent stuff to put in your hair.

1. Mineral Facial Sunscreens

Mineral sunscreens typically come in a pre-filled container with an attached brush for you to simple brush the sunscreen on all over your face. You not only get sun coverage, you get to cover-up the shiny face you might have.

You can find these in tinted colors or even clear, depending on what you’re looking for.

2. Bronzer

It’s time to pack away the blush and pick out a good bronzer. And what makes a good bronzer? One that doesn’t leave your skin looking orange. Orange is not the color we’re going for.

You’ll look better and feel better with a little summer glow, especially if your skin doesn’t get much color in the summer months. If you can’t make it, fake it!

3. New Polish

While natural fingernails with clear polish are always in, summer is the time to go with a bold, fun color on your toes. Go with the reds, pinks and corals.

And nail polish is something that is such a nice treat because they are so inexpensive and last the entire summer.

Trust us, no one looks good in sandals if they don’t take time to take care of their feet. Polish looks nice.

4. Body Scrub

A good body scrub is vital to smooth summer skin. Think about all of the dead skin cells that accumulated on your body over the winter and spring. They need to be scrubbed off so your healthy new skin can shine.

Scrubs are especially important if you self tan. The week before applying self tanner, you should scrub a few times to ensure your skin is even and ready to soak in the tanner.

5. Lip Balm with SPF

Your lips are even more sensitive to the sun than your skin, but how many of us think about protecting them with sunscreen? By picking out a lipbalm with SPF protection, your lips will skip the painful peeling that can come from sunburn.

And what used to be almost impossible to find is now everywhere! Try to find one with at least SPF15.

6. Sun Screen You Love

What’s a list of summer skin must-haves without the sunscreen. Let’s face it, if you don’t love your sunscreen, you’re not going to want to use it. But we know you know you have to use sunscreen, so let’s find one you love so that you have no excuses.
