BE YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL

Hi, my name is Laura Jones and I'm from Melbourne, Australia. My friends would describe me a beauty and fashion fanatic that cannot stay in the one place for too long. I would describe myself as a normal girl with (slightly) expensive tastes and big dreams.

How To Make Baby Carrying Cute
As a new mom, you may wish that the chores would go away. When you have a baby, you may feel as though you need more arms and hands. They enjoy being held. Bad days make it virtually impossible to get things done. Errands are even more difficult. At one time, the helping hand came in the form of a bulky carrier that doubled as a car seat by clicking it into the base. It only added more weight to an already awkward to carry tiny being. Then came the new and improved baby carriers that you could wear. They are much easier to use, but not very stylish. Going out for dinner with a black sack around your beautiful blouse isn’t appealing. Now, we have cute baby carrying options and moms love it!

Which Carrier Will You Love?

When choosing the right one for your baby, no one can tell you which is best. One that works well for one mom may be difficult for another. One mom may love one because it is always adjusted to fit her body. Another may hate it because it is hard to adjust when daddy carries the baby for a while.

Color & Glitter EVERYTHING!

How to Create Fantastic Sparkling Mugs

After it is the color you want it, you can Modge Podge some glitter onto the mug. This will give it the sparkle that you want. If you do not want the entire mug covered in glitter, you can write out your initials, draw a doodle with glue, or anything else you want. Tap off any excess glitter and prepare a workplace for your epoxy project. Since epoxy takes a bit to dry, you will need to leave the tumbler hanging and you will also want to keep rotating it to ensure it does not have a lot of runs. Until it hardens a little, you will want to turn it every minute or two. Gradually spacing it out until you turn it every 30 minutes or so. There will still be drips, but they are easy enough to sand off the next day if you used moistened sandpaper in a 400 grit.

Let Your Creativity Shine Through

You can also use nail polish on mason jars to use in your kitchen, bathroom, or on your desk. Then add epoxy and sparkle if you want to. You can be as creative as you want, and it only takes a little bit of effort and time.

3 Healthy Ways to Perfect Your Hairstyles
You can twist it, cut it, pull it up into a perfectly coiffed bun, or let it fall freely along your neck and shoulders. Hair can look beautiful when it is well managed and groomed into a trendy hairstyle, but it can also become unhealthy if your styling techniques aren’t safe to use in the long run. Flat irons and heat-based styling tools should only be used with heat protectant serum and on the lowest possible setting if you don’t want split ends. Pulling your hair into a bun can also help to protect your ends, but you don’t want to develop traction alopecia as a result of pulling your strands too tightly. In addition to using a vibrating flat iron, you may want to reinforce your locks with a protein treatment and start cleaning your scalp with a clarifying shampoo. Here are three things that can be done to protect your hair so that all of your hairstyles look perfect. Royalty Free Photo

1. Start with a Clean Scalp

When you use any type of product on your hair it is going to leave some type of residue behind. Caked up hair styling product residue may even end up on your scalp. If you have ever tried to pull your hair into a ponytail but your tresses looked limp or your scalp looked greasy when you were done, there is likely a build-up of products leftover in your hair. Even if you use shampoo to vigorously clean your mane there might still be residue left on each strand when you get done. Try a clarifying shampoo so that you’re able to make your hairstyles neater and keep your locks healthier.

2. Deep Condition Your Tresses

Many people don’t know that hair needs to be moisturized from inside and out in order to stay strong and healthy. If you just dab on a bit of conditioner while you’re in the shower and wash it out after a minute or two, your hair could be missing a vital element. Begin deep conditioning your hair at least once per week on a day that you have a few extra hours to dedicate to nourishing your hair. You can wear a conditioner cap to keep your tresses properly heated or even sit under a hooded dryer for at least 30 minutes. It will only take a few sessions before you’ll see your hairstyles coming out much more nicely.

3. Use Quality Styling Tools

Although most women have at least one hair dryer, a flat iron, and a curling iron, it is more likely that you’ve got an entire bathroom drawer filled with various combs, brushes, and other hair styling tools. While variety is the spice of life, you need to be selective about what tools you use to style your hair. Using high-quality flat irons and hair dryers on your hair will make your tresses easier to style while ensuring that they stay as healthy as possible. Getting your hair to look great won’t matter much if your locks get dried out and matted in the interim. Always treat your hair with care when pulling off a complicated hairstyle and go to a professional if you have concerns about coloring or bleaching your hair. There’s also nothing with using a wig or hairpiece to simulate a particular style if you don’t want to leave your natural hair stressed out.
Top Tips for Choosing the Right Lipstick
When it comes to makeup, lipstick is often the least thought about when it comes to choosing. Of course, this isn’t to say that lipstick doesn't get a lot of thought. It’s the act of choosing that often gets swayed by marketing techniques and buzzwords. If you love wearing lipstick and are interested in some tips and techniques to help you choose the right color, style, and type, then this article is for you. Clean and Fresh The first tip comes in the form of lipstick preparation. Just as you wouldn’t paint a wall before cleaning it, always clean your lips before you apply any type of lipstick. Even if you aren’t going to wear lipstick and stop reading right now, at least use a moisturizer or balm after washing. Always Use a Lip Liner Before you begin thinking about all of the memes online with people wearing black lip liner and bright colored lipstick, consider something more realistic. A nude oriented liner can be a great option if you just want something to keep your gloss or foundation matched color in check. If you are looking to get adventurous, don’t be afraid to consider contrasting colors or even blended options. Speak with your local makeup counter assistant for more ideas. Wear It Appropriately Do you know what looks good at the club? Glittery lipstick. Do you know what doesn’t look good in the office? You guessed it, Glittery lipstick. Before you apply your lipstick, give it a second thought as to whether it’s appropriate for where you are going. If you’re looking for a broader range, check out the Groupon Coupons page for Walmart at travel packs with color options in one stick. Remember Your Own Lip Color If you were to paint onto different colored canvases then you would expect the same paint to look different. The same idea applies when choosing your lip color. If you see a bright red that looks great on the stick but not on your lips, consider that your natural lip color may be affecting it and look for colors a few shades up and down the spectrum. Don't Limit Yourself to One Color By brushing a small section of the middle of your lip with a bright stick or powder, it can help to open up your lips when you apply your chosen color on top. To make this effect even stronger, consider shading a small section at the corners of your lips. The idea behind this tip is to use different colors if you have the creative flair for it! Don’t feel that you can only wear one color. With so much attention paid to makeup products for your eyes and techniques to get your eyes on point, lips are often left as a second or complementary thought. The next time you sit down to design your face, think about your lips first and design the rest of your face around them. You will be surprised at the remarks!
