Dirty Gossip!

Hello all!  I have not been on my blog for a long time. I miss all those hauls, hiking videos and my random trips that I filmed for you all to enjoy. I will soon get back to that, a lot has changed in my life, I have recently moved and getting your life back in order is a bit challenging. As you all know I'm a hair stylist and planning on taking a "master colorist" class in santa monica and a creative cutting class in costa mesa. So you will see some new videos from a beach front hotel! Im excited for that. Also I have been blessed with busy days at the salon making people beautiful. And the biggest news of all is that I'm strongly thinking of creating my own online boutique store. 


Ne-ways enough venting.!  Lets get back to business. What better way than starting a new blog post about washing all the dirt off and starting from nice and clean :)   I could not think of anything else to write about other than cleaning those dirty makeup brushes after unpacking all my makeup. So here you go, get your dirty on !!!


Why to keep your makeup brushes clean? 

Sometimes you wonder why you get zits in the those random places. Well let me tell you ladies (and some gents) your best friend in the morning your makeup BRUSHES are loaded with all those nasty bacterias, oils and germs floating in the air. I am the first one to say I'm guilty of not washing my brushes once a week like you should. Time is stretched out for everyone of us with work, school, life and everything that comes with it. First thing you do in the morning is to find those brushes scattered on the counter from the morning or night before when you were in a hurry to run out the door. Well we should all make a promise to STOP that cycle today. Here are some easy steps to help you clean your tools and have our face looking better than ever.

1. Pick a day of the week and stick to it. Sunday is easy for me because its the end of the week and why not start with clean brushes on Monday morning. 
2. Things you will need.

• Moisturizing shampoo & Conditioner
• Clean towel
• Disinfectant wipes
•  10 min of your day

This is my TIGI brush set. LOVE!!

** Pull out all your brushes from your holder, start running the water to a very warm feel, its easier to do each brush individual, wet your brush and apply a little shampoo I prefer good shampoo because some of your brushes might be expensive and really good hair quality so if its good enough to use on your hair you better use it on your brushes.


Start rubbing the hair together as soon as you do this you will see all that gross-ness come out of the brush, keep doing this till the water runs clear. Repeat with all brushes, then apply conditioner (I let them sit for 3-5 min, like a little treatment).

Rinse, squeeze all water out and shape the brush with your hand. Set the brush on a clean towel to dry.

 Last but not least don't forget to wipe down and disinfect your pouch, this will keep from contaminating the clean brushes. And please ladies put you brushes back in the holder after use. Don't forget ONCE a week this must be done, your face will thank you.

GoodLuck!

Santa Barbara Bound!

Come travel with me!


For memorial weekend I travel to Santa Barbara beautiful beach area. I had a blast, the weather was perfect 70-80's, and you can't forget the smell and the scenery of the beach. I tried to take as many pictures of where I went. I had a couple things in mind that I wanted to do such as fishing of the pier, I just think its so much fun to relax by the sea, people watch and maybe catch a fish. 2nd I wanted to do some sight seeing and be a tourist. I saw a tour called LandShark, its a bus that takes you to all old and new Santa Barbara, tells you the history and then goes towards the sea. When you least expect it this bus contraption turns into a boat! yea!!!  Drives right into the water, takes you to see a couple dolphins, sea lions and any wild life. This was such a relaxing but fun trip. ENJOY!

Fishing on Santa Barbara Pier.

 1). Squid, our bait of choice. 2). Me soaking up some sun, and waiting for a bit or something........

1). Someone caught a SHARK!   2). My fishing rod. (not a lucky one) 

 At the end of the day we were out for about 4-5 hrs and caught nothing. So sad, but I did have so much fun, lots of laugh, a lot of snacks and a good tan. 

Delights of my day.

A present from earth itself. 

Its nice taking a breath and appreciate your surroundings. Sometimes life, work, the daily routines can get a little overwhelming and you forget to love life itself. As you all know I LOVE juicing and trying to be healthy, I always felt like I was waisting the remaining pulp of my daily juice. So I decide to start saving it for the plants and trees. I had no idea giving to the earth was going to be so rewarding, I looked outside and I got a nice surprise, I got little tomatoes growing. Here are some shots of the beginning stages of my new babies.

My little tomatoes.

Mango Tree. Hopefully we get mangos this summer .

What made you smile today?

Coral and Blue love!

Thrift bag treasure.

My goal for the rest of the month is trying to do as many OOTD's. So here we go, below you see Im still loving the colors of the season.

What I'm wearing: Tiffany bracelets, Shoes Rocking Republic (Kohls), Blue pants (F21), Black V-neck (F21) and my thrift store treasure my bag.

To bright out. ouch. 

Enjoy this beautiful day. 

Giant Haul.

Enjoy this giant haul.

I have a blast doing these hauls, hope you have a blast watching then. :) 

Removing wax from furniture.

OMG!  Major wax spill.

Ok..... I was trying to keep on my monthly budget and wax my own brows and as you see below I spilled half of the container in the drawer it was not pretty. I did successfully waxed my brows but I had to get this cleaned up before I got yelled at, because this is my boyfriends morning bathroom. LOL.  

This happened before in the microwave and I had previously researched this and a lot of tips said try GOO GONE. This stuff is amazing, it literally melts the goop off. Below are the steps I took, its very simple. Spray Goo Gone and be generous let it sit for maybe 1 hr and like I said it melts off. Last just wipe off, if you have a little residue left just repeat the steps. Hope this never happens to you but if it does you know what to do. 

Thanks for stopping by.

They question of a fashion statement.

Where should your pant hem hit your shoe???

According to Lucky Magazine and some of my own research. 

• The Straight Leg:

These could be a little tricky and sometimes may look so wrong. Straight leg pants are great for flats, pumps, and even wedges. If they are not to wide you can cuff them like picture of Kim K below. 

•  The Skinny:

This is the easiest. They go pretty much with any and every shoe i.e flats, boots, wedges, stilettos or gigantic platforms. The skinny pant leg feature the shoe, think of it as 2 arrows pointing down at your feet. You can wear them with no hem and this while make your legs look miles long. You can also cuff them and show a little skin this make it look a little laid back or add some heels and look classy but trendy. 

• The Wide Leg:

These can be fun, trendy with a vintage feel. Wide leg pant must skim the floor, if the hem is trampled on and lived in, its so much cooler. Platform or a cute thick wedge looks great. Having them totally cover your shoes is SO in like Rachel Zoe wears. You can also cuff them if you want to wear flats, but remember if you are on the shorter side this might cut your fame off.

                                       

                                                       These are hem just a bit to shoes the shoe.

• The Baggy/Boyfriend type:

Must be rolled up of cuffed above the ankle 90% of the time says Lucky mag, and I totally agree. You want them to look lived in not slept in. Could be worn with a tough feminine shoe, you have to show some ankle or else it looks sloppy and to baggy kinda like a clown. Flats if you are going totally casual or and ankle bootie. Lucky mag said "no pumps" I disagree as we see in the pictures below you can carefully pull a cute wedge or maybe a gladiator sandal. Just be mindful of not looking to manly, add a feminine touch and accessories ALWAYS.

   

Always have fun with your still and if your scared do a little research. GET INSPIRED!
