Makeup: How much is too much?

The majority of us girls out there love our makeup!  There is only one problem, we might be loving it a little too much.  We grow up being told "not yet" by our parents and then Poof!  All of a sudden we are allowed to wear it and we go crazy using it!  It is a mistake that is made by many young stars and just us regular girls in general.  Even though you think that it will make you look older, clogging up your pores with foundation and stuff won't help.  If you are going to wear makeup, please follow these general guidelines!  They make life much easier and won't have you looking back at your pictures from when you were a teen in horror.

1. There is a difference between pretty and dress-up:  A little goes a long way!

2. Easy on the mascara:  Too much mascara will make you look fake.

3. Color clash:  Don't wear bright eyeshadow and bright lipstick together!  Wear one or the other so that it's not overwhelming.

4. The commandment of foundation and bronzer:  "Though shalt not put all over thy face."  Don't do it!  Too much foundation will make you look like you have been sick and too much bronzer makes you look like pumpkin pie.

5. The eyeliner diaries:  DO NOT apply a thick amount of eyeliner!  Please, I beg of you!  Just apply a little bit right above your eyelashes.

I hope that these tips help!  Please make sure to comment with any tips and suggestions that you have!

Being Fall Ready

We all see the leaves changing, see a couple of snow-flurries, and feel that crisp and chilly weather coming on.  But what else is happening that we don't even realize until it's too late?  Dry and cracked hands, chapped lips, and the cold and flu are just some examples of what is happening during this beautiful time of year.  Although some of the things that I will be mentioning are no-brainer decisions, I hope that they help someone out there!

1.  Moisturize:  Use thicker hand lotions and body-lotions in the fall and winter to better lock in moisture.
2.  Always keep something to put on your lips handy.  Weather it be chap-stick, lipbalm, lipstick, or lipgloss, just make sure that you are using something!
3.  To Protect your body from sickness try these things.  Drink plenty of water, have Airborne whenever you feel that dreaded flu/cold feeling coming on, wash your hands regularly, use hand-sanitizer, wash your bedding regularly, keep your house clean, and don't put your hands in your mouth or eyes or nose!

I hope that this helps!  Please let me know what you think!
