Cherry Nail Art

Negative nail art is either created on nail tips or yourself. First, you will need to prep your nails by thoroughly cleaning them using soap and water and removing any previous polish residue. Use OPI gel color Base Coat and apply a single layer on the properly prepped nails. Additionally, using OPI GelColor Love Is In The Bare, apply two coats and cure for 30 seconds. It would be best if you then drew the leaves using the OPI GelColor I’m So Swamped. Additionally, the stems should be drawn using the OPI GelColor Lincoln Park After Dark. When you are done, finish up with a layer of OPI GelColor Chrome Effects No-Clense Top Coat and give it 30 seconds to cure.

A Comprehensive Guide for Your Grooming

Here, we will talk about the unaffected skin, hair, and beard care routine that you can follow for enhancing your grooming method.

Cleansing

You should always choose your skincare products depending on skin type. A proper face wash can help you to cleanse your skin and reduce the pores safely. In fact, for oily or acne-prone skin, the mild oil-free cleansers work effectively. It helps to maintain the ph level of your skin too. Before pre-shaving and after shaving, you should always use the face wash to get clear skin without causing any pimples.

Scrubbing

You should also follow an exfoliation routine. It helps to diminish the growth of dead cells and promote new skin layering. To get a fresh look, you can try the mild scrubbing skin products once or twice on your skin. However, too much exfoliation can cause dryness.

Moisturize

Always go for lotions or face creams that contain accurate hydrating agents. It can help to maintain the water and oil balance of your skin. Again, selecting the sunscreen-based moisturizers can help you to protect your skin from getting damaged from sunblocks. Try to choose the moisturizers that contain SPF range of 15-20.

Factors Effecting Hair Growth

Hairs usually slow down growing when any nutritive element is missing in the diet. Deficiency of vitamins is one of the major causes of slow hair growth. This deficiency usually goes unnoticed but even a slight change in the body’s vitamin levels can effect the growth of hair. Vitamins important for hair growth include vitamin A, B, C and D. Other important nutrients include niacin, biotin and zinc.

Stress is a very important factor that effect s hair growth. Increased emotional stress causes release of large amount of oil from the glands of the scalp. Loss of moisture makes the growth process slower. Stress also leads to less oxygen intake which may lead to death of scalp cells.

To say that my makeup drawer is messy would be an understatement. It looks like a hurricane went through there. I had a really hard time finding things and it was taking way too long locate anything. I finally reached my breaking point and chose to organize it. I got this clear container from Target and reused an empty old box for dividers. The lid is perfect for storing eye shadows and eye liners while the deeper half of the box works great for bulkier products like foundation, blush, and bronzers. The result speaks for itself, like night and day! 

With winter quickly approaching, I decided to go through my closet and pick out some of my essential pieces to wear this season. Being from San Francisco, we pretty much experience the cool temperatures year around so it is no surprise that most of my closet is made up of coats and light jackets (perfect for layering). I have been seeing a lot of jewel tones in magazines and was pleased to see that I already have a few items that fit the trend. One of my absolute favorites is my blue scarf. I wear it all the time for its versatility and for the colorful impact it gives to any outfit. Seeing my things laid out actually makes me a little bit excited for the fog.

Ok, so this is officially my first outfit post. Posing for the camera was a little awkward but I’m sure I’ll get the hang of it over time. I must have taken over fifty pictures (most of which I immediately deleted). It is not as easy as it seems. I only hope that one day I can have images as amazing as those taken by some of my favorite bloggers (Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere, Jessica from What I Wore, and Kelly from the Glamourai). In fact the only easy part to this process was picking out the outfit. I’ve been looking for a striped skirt for a while and finally found this one at Forever 21. Bright colors make me happy so I decided to incorporate them into the rest of the outfit being that the skirt was black and white. I can’t wait to wear the skirt again in the spring with a denim jacket, fedora and cute strappy sandals.

I have really been wanting a burgundy bag like this ever since I saw this ad by Louis Vuitton a while back. The color is perfect for fall and goes with just about anything. It’s a nice alternative to a neutral black or beige. I’m really drawn to the classic lines and structured look of it. I love keeping it simple and classic and by doing so know that any one of these could last me for many fall seasons to come.

I love sequins. I love them even more when I find them on a cute clutch. An evening bag is an essential accessory during the holiday season and a clutch is my favorite way to go. They dress up any outfit and can make a statement on their own. With fun patterns, great colors, and pretty details these six are a few I’d love to get my hands on.

This past weekend was so much fun. I spent it in Palm Springs with my boyfriend and we enjoyed spending time away from the rush of daily life. We pretty much played everything by ear and it’s starting to become a favorite destination (you can see our last visit here). We definitely wanted to relax and enjoyed a day of pampering at The Spring day spa. I highly recommend spending an afternoon there if you are planning a trip to Palm Springs any time soon. A soak in the mineral hot springs and a massage worked wonders. I also knew I wanted to do a little shopping. We made a stop at a few shops and I picked up some amazing deals. Take a look at these stylish finds that made it home with me…

The pump is probably my favorite type of heel. It’s classic and always flattering and are available in amazing assortments. We all know I’m no stranger to colorful accessories and shoes I’d say are definitely my weakness. A good shoe can really make an outfit. For that reason, I’m immediately drawn to statement making beauties like these pairs. They can all stand on their own with a simple outfit like jeans and a t-shirt or can also help spice up a dressier ensemble. I’m really lusting for the ones with the red and pink heel.

The name! The packaging! The colors! Oh MY….I’m smitten over this lipstick. Kate Spade and Poppy King have partnered up to create the cutest new beauty must-have. It screams fun and girly, not to mention that I want it in every shade. The only con is actually having to decide on one.  Want one too? You can purchase yours here.
