Quick Tip Tuesday

6.18.2013


Happy Tuesday Everyone!  Today I'm going to share some quick beauty tips that you may have not known.  These are all of the tips that I have found searching deep inside the walls of pinterest...well maybe not deep inside, but I did find them on pintereset!  


The first tip that I found is putting Elmer's Glue around your nails when your about to paint them.  You can then paint your nails and it doesn't matter if you paint outside your nails.  After you're done painting you can just peel the glue off.  Now you have perfectly painted nails!


 Do you know how to get evenly spaced polka dots when painting you nails?  If you don't I found the perfect technique!  

Next I have a great tip for your eyelashes using vaseline.  If you apply vaseline on your eyelashes after using mascara it will instantly take the clumps out.  You can also apply just vaseline to your eyelashes for a more natural look.  It will darken and lengthen your lashes.  Perfect for the days at the pool!  For more tips on vaseline check out this post.


The next tip is about how to apply foundation.


The last tip is yet another nail trick.  If you put your nail polish in the fridge for 15 minutes before applying it will go on smoother.


Did you know any of these tips?  Do you have any other tips?  If you do leave it in a comment down below and you might be featured in the next Quick Tip Tuesday!

Sunday Summary

6.16.2013

Happy Sunday everyone!  Happy Fathers Day!  Make sure to wish your dad, brother, husband, or any male figure in your life a happy Fathers Day!


Hey Everyone!  Today I'm going to share an outfit that I wore over the weekend.  It consists of one main thing, a maxi dress.  I have been obsessed with maxi dresses lately.  They are the perfect clothing item.  They are nice and breezy and can keep you cool in the summer.  And you don't even have to think about your outfit, just throw on a maxi dress and you're good.  They can also be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.  In this case I just wore it as a casual weekend outfit.  READ MORE...




Hey everyone!  Summer has started for most of us, even though it might not feel like it (uhmm MN).  But whether it's hot or cold we still have to have some great accessories in the summer!  We already have the cute flowy dresses and skirts but now we need some cute accessories to complete the look.  We all know the right accessories can turn anything you're wearing from drab to fab.  READ MORE...

A lot has happened with the blog recently!  First of all I started offering advertising.  As you can tell by the two lovely sponsors that have already started advertising.  (Make sure to go and check out Yasmin from Bangles and Bungalows and KaLeena from Live Chicly.  Both of their blogs are amazing, you will not be disappointed!)  If you would like to start advertising visit this page.  And use the code "fashreader" for 15% off any ad.

Second of all I redesigned most of my blog.  I changed the tabs, all of the fonts, and the footer.  Now instead of the box at the end of all of my posts there will just be comments.  What do you think of the new design?

Really there is nothing that exciting, so I wouldn't want to bore you.  But I will tell you that the weather has finally warmed up!  It's finally starting to feel like summer, just in time for summer to start.  MN decided to skip spring and go from winter to summer...


The tweet of the week this week is a tweet by Alphonsine from Privileged Beauty.  You can check out her twitter and her blog.  Thank you for the sweet comment, I'm glad you learned something from the post!(referring to this post)

Must Have Summer Accessories

6.10.2013

Hey everyone!  Summer has started for most of us, even though it might not feel like it (uhmm MN).  But whether it's hot or cold we still have to have some great accessories in the summer!  We already have the cute flowy dresses and skirts but now we need some cute accessories to complete the look.  We all know the right accessories can turn anything you're wearing from drab to fab.



The first and most obvious accessories are flip flops.  Whether you're going to the beach, running errands, or wearing them as your everyday shoe everyone needs a fab pair of flip flops.  My favorite brand of flip flops is Tory Burch.  They are very comfy and super cute! (You can see how I styled them in my most recent OOTD)

The next accessory everyone needs is sunglasses.  I think almost everyone already has a pair of sunglasses, but you can never have to many.  I really like Ray-Ban sunglasses (who doesn't?)  I know they are pretty expensive, but you will get a lot of wear out of them.  I also really like going to Nordstrom Rack to find a pair, since they have so many quality designer pairs for half the price.

Next I think everyone should have some kind of hat.  Either a fedora or a big floppy hat.  Both are super cute and can be worn for many different occasions.  A fedora is good for every day wear.  While a floppy hat is good for a beach/pool day.

Next I think almost everyone carries a purse.  But in the summer you don't want a huge big tote bag that you have to lug around all day.  So I think cross body bags are great for summer.  They are small and light and you can have your hands free.  To see some of my picks for cross body bags check out this post.

Next, I think everyone goes to the beach/pool in the summer.  So we need a stylish bag for this.  I love the big straw totes.  You can fit everything in them.  Magazines, towels, sunscreen, clothes, etc.

Finally, we all love jewelry but it can get a bit annoying in the summer.  So I love the "friendship" type of bracelets.  Where they're just fun bright colored wrap bracelets.

Sunday Summary

6.02.2013

Hey everyone!  Happy Sunday!  


So recently I've been obsessed with statement necklaces.  (I honestly have a wish list of about 50)  They are so cute, and can add so much to a simple outfit.  The only problem is that they are really expensive.  But you can find a lot of cute dupes for a fraction of the cost.  So today I will share some of my favorite necklaces I have come across.  And some dupes for some really popular necklaces.  READ MORE

 As you probably already know from my last post I've been obsessed with statement necklaces recently.  So I was so excited to wear this green statement necklace from Stella and Dot.  And I thought this black chevron shirt would go perfectly with it.  I've also been obsessed with anything chevron lately, so this is the perfect outfit!  READ MORE

It's finally the weekend!  And even better it's Memorial Day weekend which means it's a three day weekend.  So for this special weekend people will usually travel or just spend a relaxing weekend at home with friends.  But no matter what you are doing you need a cute outfit.  So I chose a few clothing pieces that would be good for this weekend.  You can mix and match all of these pieces to make dozens of outfits.  READ MORE




Hey everyone!  As you might remember I did a "25 uses for vaseline" post a few months ago(here)  And it ended up being a very popular post.  So I decided I would do 25 household products that can be used for beauty purposes.  If you walk around your house you can find a ton of things that can be used for beauty purposes.  Anything from food to a toothbrush can be used.

This week I'm going to start getting back on my posting schedule of posting every other day.  So Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.  This weekend I spent a lot of time scheduling posts to go up in the upcoming weeks.

I finish school on Wednesday!  But before I get to that exciting day I have a ton of tests and finals that I have to do.  So if I'm absent from twitter or any other social media site that is why.



The tweet of the week is from Eye of the Beholder.  Thank you for this nice tweet, I'm glad you liked the post!
