Clear Skin Back to School Way

Hmm? Check the clock. We're already into August. And when does school start? August. So what does that mean? BACK TO SCHOOL ANXIOUS!!

Everyone wants to go back to school rocking their way in, and just looking great! And in the summer, because of the heat, more people also breakout, get acne...all that stuff that we desperately want to get rid of before school comes around. So here's what made the list to great skin care:

The List: (DA DA DAAA) :

-WATER WATER WATER!! Make sure you get your 8 glasses of water each day. It flushes out all the toxins and everything so your skin will glow more and look more healthier.

-If you have a breakout, the most important thing is to not mess with it. Just wash your face, and dry it with dabbing with the towel; not rubbing.

-If you wear makeup, be sure to wear mineral makeup. The makeup just sits on the surface rather than being absorbed and clog your pores.

-Try your best to sleep on your back. This way, your hair won't be messing with the breakout, adding more dirt and oil to it.

-And....exercise! Exercising will increase blood circulation to your face, which will give it a healthy look, and it's a bonus for your body overall.

My Summer Staples

This summer, I found some products that I couldn't live without. And another plus is that, their all great alternaitves for expensive stuff that I ditched a few weeks ago.

My #1 Babe that I couldn't live without: Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask

For me, it takes care of any blemishes and I know that if I ever get a breakout, this is my first option. And the mint leaves you with a wonderful feeling. I got mine at Sally's (:

Lip Gloss. No girl can live without it. I lived with the NARS Lip glosses forever, and I couldn't let them go....but they wear $24 each! So, I ditched that for......NYX Lip Gloss

This one is a great alternative. (PSSS!! psss! Guess what? This one is under $5!!!) <--- BEST PART! I cannot live without this baby!

Since our lips deserve a little attention too; take a bit of honey and baking soda. Mix them together and gently rub them in. This is gonna help to take dead skin cells out. Afterwards apply a lip balm. This will leave lips soooo soft! Also, for some time; try ditching the expensive lip glosses. Just turn to good ole Vaseline. Dab some on before you go to bed, and your lips will be feeling wonderful in the morning.

Also, I've heard Burt Bees works great. And Carmex is really good too!

And another thing! If you guys are planning to go back to school wearing skirts, then beautiful legs is a must! One little trick that I lovee to use is to use baby oil. For example, when I'm about to enter somewhere wearing a skirt, I want my legs to look toned and shiny. So make sure Baby Oil is in your purse! Just rub it into your legs, and your legs will look soo beautiful! Sometimes I use this to draw attention away from me belly (when I bloat and I'm on the "time of the month" hahahahah).

And YESSS I have to put up a picture of everything! haha(:

Well that's it for today, be sure to rock your way into a rocking school year!

Target: Your One Stop Shop

Good Morning guys! Or Good Night .... wherever you guys are =)

Allright, so of course the most funnest part about back to school, is of course SHOPPING! But for me, it can also be a pain in the neck. Yeah, I'll admit that you become like the happiest girl when you find the perfect top, but searching for that perfect top could take some time.

So, two days ago, I headed over to Target, and I pretty much found everything there! Shoes, clothes, accesiors, back to school shelves, pens, everything!

So, I would honestly say head over to Target for your back to school stuff! Yeah, I know that I really shopped early, but hey! Anything to avoid that huge rush days! I went online to www.target.com, and I found an outfit that I lovee!!

The Top:

Mossimo® Black: Long-Sleeve Scoop-Neck Tissue Tee - True White

The pants:

Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Spade Pocket Bootcut Denim - Medium Indigo Wash

The Scarf:

Global Girlfriend Printed Leaf Design Scarf - Green

I dunno, everyone has different taste, but I really love full shirts. So, I thought this was a good one, very casual.. I didn't buy these, but I wish I did :(

Hahah so yeah check out Target and then for your regular old pencils, paper and all, I like to go to Walmart and Staples(:

Well, and now, your AM Song:

2 in 1 - Transform a closet to an office

Hi guys(: Today, the post came out a little late. Sorry, weekends are always getting up far more late. (: Well anyways, I was thinking one day, and I was sitting and staring at my room (no joke) and I was like, you know what, before school starts again, I need a place where I have everything organized.

So, I looked up on Yahoo's Shine (which is A- mazing!) and I found an article that was exactly what I needed. Here's the link: http://shine.yahoo.com/event/haven/transform-a-closet-into-an-office-1025288/

^^^ the picture from the link ( NOT my room)

It's the best idea for my room yet! So, yeah I tried it, I took all my clothes out and just practically stuffed them in my drawers. I put a table in there, with some drawers, and I put some shelves in there too, just like the picture. Took my laptop, and put it on the table, and I looked at my new "office". CUTEE!! hahah, well so today another reason why I was late is because I went shopping for some file folders and some paint.

I have these cute file folders and organizers, and I have some turquoise (my fav color[: ) wallpaper, and I can't wait to put it all together tomorrow. I don't yet have the cute "chandelier", but I'm looking all over for that thing. And the cute rug, I need that too.

Well, that was just a suggestion. If you need some spicing up to do for your room, believe me this is amazing. And you don't have to do it exactly like the picture. For example, on the selves, I'm a more relaxed person, so I put some abstract vases, some pictures, and some scented candles. My closet doors are going to be turquoise , but I am gonna get folders, calendars, and stuff like that. But it isn't exactly like the picture :]

Allright, well that was today. Think about this idea(:

Cardigans

Hey guys! School is gonna be here in around a month, so before all the crowding hits the stores, I decided to go shopping for clothes to wear in fall. So, my golden piece of clothing was a CARDIGAN! It's perfect for the breezy weather, and under those huge winter jackets and to wear around school without feeling cold in the classes.

I found the white one on oldnavy.com. So, yeah Cardigans are PERFECTO! They match everything, and it fashionably replaces a jacket. So go and get one! They're perfect for school, work, w/e. And believe me, even though it's like 90 degrees outside, when there is a classroom that's like the North Pole .... yeah I kinda need the cardigan. hahah (: So, get one! You can find one on online stores, like Oldnavy.com, forever21 sites, Hollister ... sites like that. If you wanna go and get one, visit stores, of course the whole mall, target, or kmart. Kmart.com, has some wonderful cardigans for a fairly low price. I hate buying from the interenet, because I hate waiting! hahah, so for now, kmart is my first stop. Well, that's it for today! (:
