Hair Growth Tips

Sorry I've been MIA lately. I've gotten caught up in some stuff and have been pretty busy lately. So I'm here today to help with hair growth tips. Some tips that have definitely worked for me.

-Reduce or eliminate heat to hair to prevent further damage.
-Reduce product use.
-Wash hair everyday and be sure to keep your hair moisturized. I recommend Aussie's 3 Minute Miracle. Really cheap, but great product. You want your hair to be moisturized as much as possible so that your hair can get nourishment and become more healthy. Because if you're like me, you spend almost every day outside or in the pool and that could really damage your hair and dry it out. Although water does help your hair grow, you still want to moisturize it to keep it from drying out with all the chlorine in the pool and such.
-B Complex pills. These help with the growth of your hair. It is a skin, nail and hair growth product. You can pick it up at Walmart for pretty cheap. Take them once a day. Also, be careful. When taking these pills, it makes your skin pretty sensitive so be careful with going outside. *(That's how I got sun poisoning)
-I also heard fish oils help your hair a lot. So eating fish (which I don't, I'm not a huge fan of fish so I won't eat it if I don't have to) would help increase hair growth. You can buy pills that contain fish oils as well if you would prefer it.
-Mane 'N Tail shampoo. This is used for horses, but I have heard that it works with human hair growth. I have been using it and I have seen a difference. It also seems to make your hair thicker.

*People say that trimming your hair helps hair growth, but I'm not sure that's true. My opinion is that your hair grows from your scalp not the ends of your hair. Keep your scalp healthy and it should do the trick. If you want your hair to look nicer, then cut it. Split ends don't stand out much to me and nor do they bother me so I don't really care. But it's up to you.

These are my opinions and have worked for me, I'm not saying that this is GUARANTEED to work out, but they did for me. You may have other outcomes.

I just fell in love with this.

Sorry!

I've been M.I.A. lately /: I have been working my butt off trying to find a job. Somewhere. Anywhere. I have literally applied for 37 jobs and none of them are hiring. I'm getting so frustrated. I'm gonna have to babysit or go back to working at my grandma's friends restaurant. I just need money. So far, I have $125.67 saved up for my car. I'm looking for a cheap car, like between 500-1000 dollars because I have to end up paying for half of it and at this rate, I will not be getting anywhere close to enough money by my birthday ): The economy sucks!

Anyways, tell me what you guys did this weekend<3

Foundation Routine.

So I decided to do an every day foundation routine. I'll film it today, but I need to know how to upload things to my computer /: I don't have a video camera, but I do have a regular camera that records videos, so will that work or will the quality suck? And how should I edit it? I don't have iMovie because I don't have a Mac. Guys helpppppp ):

IT'S OFFICIALLY..

SUMMMMMMMER :)

I finished all my finals today, I am pretty confident in all of them. After school, I went out to lunch with my friend Shay and we went shopping :) My friend Katie might sleep over tonight, and I'm finally hanging out with my boyfriend on Saturday :) Secretly though, shhh! ;)

So, since it's summer...what do you guys want me to do? A room tour? An everyday hair style for summer, foundation routine? Tell me :D

I love you guysssss<3

Hey Guys!

Today I had finals. For just two of my classes though. I did my first period class final, so easy. Then, second period, I skipped :x Total bad ass, huh? Hahaha, me and a few of my friends went down to a coffee shop and got some coffee. I didn't have a final in that class today, we did it awhile ago. No big deal!

Tomorrow I have my last two finals and then it's SUMMER! I have a check list for the summer, it goes;
-Get a job
-Get some money
-Get my licence
-Get a car
-Get my nose pierced
-Get my tattoo
-Go on college tours

I'm sure there is a lot more but it's all I can think of at the moment. My video for every day make up routine will be up in a few days maybe. I gotta learn how to edit and stuff first :)

Tell me about your day, guys! Talk to you laterrrr<3333

Would You Guys Want...?

Me to do an every day make up routine? :)

Pink Hair?

Hahaha, that's so old!^

Hair Routine!

So a lot of people at school always ask me how I do my hair. It's nothing really great, I promise. Hahaha. So, some history on my hair. It used to be really long and beautiful. I put peroxide in it to lighten the front of my hair. So the front of my hair was orange and blonde for awhile. And on top of being on a swim team (chlorine) and straightening it everyday, it got fried. I decided to cut it all off. Up to about my shoulders. Now, that was a lot for me since my hair was at my belly button almost. Then I let it grow out a little and got tons of layers in it and dyed it really dark brown. Then I bleached the underneath of my hair blonde. My hair was so dead by then. So I cut it again. And let it grow out naturally. Which brings us to now. It is my natural color (lightish brown) and it is almost at my boobs. I try to keep it as healthy as possible.

So every day, I shower. Before bed. I use Sunsilk Hydration Shampoo and Conditioner. (You can purchase both at a local drug store for 5$ each). After I shower, I apply Aussie Hair Insurance Leave in Conditioner. Then I let it air dry. And when I wake up in the morning, I do my make up while my straightener is heating up, and I spray my hair with Nexxus Heat Protector. Brush it all in evenly, and part my hair in sections. Straighten the bottom half first and work my way up to my other layers. After I finish that, I spray my hair with just a generic hairspray and leave it.

Now, some mornings, I take a shower before and leave my hair natural. My hair naturally has some wave and I like that. So after I shower, I make sure my hair is a still a bit damp before I apply any product. I put some mousse in my hand and rub it around and distribute it throughout my hair. Then let it dry and add a shine serum.

That's mainly it. If you guys want me to teach you how I curl my hair, let me know :)
Have a good day guys! Ttyl<33

Reviews!

So, I went out shopping the other day and I picked up some new beauty products to try. I've seen commercials for them and I wanted to try them out. These opinions are all my own and I am not being paid by these companies, just so you know!

So the first product I decided to invest in was; L'Oreal, Telescopic Explosion Mascara. At first I found it really hard to apply, but after awhile, I got used to it and it really grew on me. It really gets all your lashes and it really "fans" them out. The only problem I had with it, was when I was trying to take it off. I used make up remover it and it was really hard to scrub off. It wasn't water-proof. I know that, I doubled checked! But other than that, it was a good product!

The next product was; Phyicians Formula Talc-Free Sand Beige Mineral Loose Powder. This product is beyond amazing. I love the way it makes my skin look. It makes my skin like, glow! I apply it right after I apply my normal foundation and concealer and it gives my skin that "flawless" look. I got a shade darker than my actual skin color, because I felt like the colors were a little light. I would recommend this product, it was only about 8$ which is worth it to me. You can get it at most drug stores, I got mine at Walmart!

Another product I purchased was; Hard Candy Take Me Out Eyeliner. I really like the Hard Candy line and this was a product I never tried before, so I got it in black and tried it out. It's like, a liquid eyeliner with a felt tip. I don't really like it. It doesn't apply enough eyeliner to my eye. Once you put it over your eyeshadow, it like isn't a dark line, which is kind of what I wanted. I felt like I had to keep re-applying this to get the look I wanted. I don't know, it wasn't worth my 5$ in my opinion.

The last product I bought was; Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer. It is amazing. It doesn't leave you streaky or orange. I only used the self tanner because of when I had the sun poisoning I got tan lines which I didn't want, so I used it to try to blend it all together. And it works. It can get you pretty dark. I mean, I'm like light brown and the self tanner allowed me to match the color. I used it after the shower every morning. It moisturized too. I would recommend it. It's pretty cheap too :)

*Now remember that these results probably will vary and this is what worked for me. It could be different!



Anyways, that's what I got :) I'll update later tonight about my weekend! Ttyl<3

Today...

I stayed after today. My friend's car got saran wrapped, haha. So after school I had to go help her get it undone. Her cousin did it, he's a douche. Well, anyways. I got an ice cream cone at McD's and now I feel sick /:

I just made dinner and I'll probably work out in a few.

What do you guys think about all the stuff going on with Blair Fowler? And her video being taken down? What's going on?

):

I miss my boyfriend terribly /: We haven't seen each other in quite some time (he doesn't live near me) and it sucks ): I want to see him, but he's grounded because of his report card. I hope I get to see him soon ): It's been making me kinda depressed lately. But we've been together so long (1 1/2 years) and I know we can make it through anything. I love him<3

Today, SUCKED. Again. Tomorrow, I have to stay after school because I have a ton of work to make up. I missed a whole week and a half of school because I had Mono and sun poisoning. Ughh. I have to get all this late work in ASAP, because my last day of school is in like 4 days. I have finals and stuff to study for. My grades are relatively good, so hopefully I get straight A's. I've been trying so hard to get straight A's because usually I'm a C student. But this year I really picked up my grades and I'm really proud of myself.

Well today is my mom's birthday, so I'm gonna go make her a cake before she gets home from work :) After that, I'm making her dinner! Then the whole family will probably go swimming later! Fun fun fun.

I'll talk to you guys later. Tell me about your day. I'm here to help if you guys need it too :) Promise!<3

What do you guys think about...

Blair(Elizabeth) and Elle(Lisa) Fowler? I personally, think that they are good gurus, but what makes me wonder is the fact that they "supposedly" get paid for every video they make on YouTube. Which makes me think that the only reason why they are on YouTube still is so that they can still make money. I've never watched Elle's videos before, but I used to watch Blair's all the time. Then I noticed she started to let the 'fame' get to her. Celebrity meetings, interviews, free items, ect. She started to change. And don't get me wrong, I'm happy for her, but she can't forget about all of her loyal subscribers. I mean, I wouldn't be so upset about all of this if she was honest and straight up with us about all of the rumors circulating about her, but she chooses to hide it all and let all of our minds wander and think about it all and make our own conclusions. I still like her and watch her new videos when she posts them, I'm just bringing this up because it's quite a controversy on YouTube and I wanted to get your input on it all.

Do you guys watch them after all this? And what do you think about their 'nos jobs'? Spill :)

I'm pissed off.

So me and one of my oldest friends, got into a little fight. Want to know about what? Because I haven't talked to her in a few days. I mean c'mon. I don't have any classes with her anymore and I don't see her around anymore either, and she got all upset about it saying that I was "ignoring" her? Uhm, no. And I went to the bathroom during one of my classes and there was a lot of people in there and so was she, talking to someone and she's complaining that I didn't say hi to her. Uh, sorry I was actually using the bathroom and not socializing. And today, she was suppose to give me a ride home from school, but oh no, guess what? She decided to tell me last minute that she "didn't have enough room for me in the car", hmmm. Odd. So I had to take the bus home because I didn't get the chance to ask anyone else for a ride home. The bus sucks. I have about a 40 minute ride home and I didn't bring my iPod or anything. So I just sat there in silence, staring out the window. It's nice to have such caring friends right? Oh yeah it is. Of course I didn't say anything to her or bitch her out because I don't want to cause anymore problems, so I was just like "Oh that's okay, I understand." I should've said something, huh? But what? I can't say anything unless I want the situation to get worse. I wish I had my licence, but oh well. In one more month I'll hopefully* have it. Fingers crossed. So now I'll just be getting a ride from someone else now, someone who is more dependent and someone who I can rely on. Ughh. Mind you, I only have like a total of 4 friends. None of them talk with each other or even like one another, so whatever.

I just needed to vent about that to someone. Hahaha, thanks guys. I love you<3 MWAH!

):

I just watched My Sister's Keeper. Awwww, it was so touching, and moving. I cried atleast 5 times watching it. It was such a great movie and if you haven't seen it, go watch it! If you have, comment and tell me what you thought about it. I loved it :)

Anywho, where I am, we have severe thunderstorms, and I guarantee that I will lose power ): I love thunderstorms though, especially during the summer time. I'll update asap. I love you guys! Ttyl<3

Tired /:

So, I was woken up this morning by this wicked annoying bird. I have no idea what kind of bird it is, but it sounds like a horn! It's so loud. That was at 4 this morning (I am such a light sleeper). Then, I made cupcakes for my friend. It's her birthday tomorrow :) I dyed the frosting pink and used hot pink sprinkles :D That was my morning. Now I' m gonna go work out and shower and bake my mom's cake (it's her birthday on Tuesday). Then I'll probably clean my room and organize my closet and find my summer clothes.

I'll update later though! Talk to you guys later :)<3

5 Random Facts!

Let's do like, a 5 random facts kinda thing :)
1) I listen to Death Metal. Haha, many people don't expect this because I'm such a little girl and I honestly don't look like someone who would listen to that kind of stuff. But my favorite bands are probably; Job For A Cowboy, Whitechapel, Carnifex, and Chelsea Grin.
2) I have Tinnitus (which is ringing in my ears) and it never goes away. I always have to be listening to music or talking with someone. It isn't intense, but it is enough to definitely bother and distract me.
3) I was born dead. When I was delivered, I was not breathing because when my mom was pushing, then umbilical cord got wrapped around my neck and choked me. I was not breathing and was completely purple. Eventually, the doctors got to revive me and here I am now :)
4) My biggest obsession is probably Ben&Jerry's Chunky Monkey (mentioned above^). It's always in my freezer. My boyfriend got me hooked on it 2 summers ago. I never thought I'd like it because I'm not a huge fan of bananas. But it is literally, AMAZING. I definitely recommend it!
5) I can fluently sign in Sign Language. It's an obsession. I have been talking Sign Language for 3 years at my school and I am now in Sign Language 5 Accelerated. My future career has something to do with Sign Language and I hope to get a scholarship to collage for it.
