Breaking Dawn Part 1

A couple of days ago i went to see Breaking Dawn Part 1. I loved it. I watched every movie except Eclipse but i am gonna watch it tomorrow because i own it.  I have only read Twilight and i am gonna go bye New Moon. I love this saga/ series. I think that breaking dawn is the best because Bella becomes a vampire at the last second of part 1 and it hooks me so much to go watch part 1. I also liked when Jacob looked at Bella and Edwards baby and felt like there were destined to be together. AND OF COURSE BELLA AND EDWARD GET MARRIED :)

How to Naturally Whiten your teeth !

Its easy all you need is

a banana, couple strawberry, and baking soda

I have 2 recipes for you using the ingredients above so lets get started 

So first smash a bunch of strawberries like this, but dont smash a lot 
looks gross right, but it helps
Next you are going to add baking soda to this 
add how much need 
next your going to take a tooth brush and pretend your mixture is tooth paste 
yes it feels a little awkward in your mouth but dont worry it helps a lot. spit the mixture out and take more until you finish the mixture ..
MORE ABOUT THIS...

It is very important to brush your teeth well after using any strawberry treatment. Strawberries do contain natural sugar, and leaving them on your teeth for long periods of time could cause cavities. And the very ingredient that whitens our teeth, malic acid, can be harmful if left on too long. Any type of acid could eat through our teeth’s enamel, and that also provides ample opportunity for cavities to form.

Due to the strawberry’s acid content, it’s probably a good idea not to use strawberry treatments too often even if you do brush well afterward. Once a week should be sufficient. It’s also important to continue to go to the dentist for regular cleanings.

While it is important to take some precautions when using strawberries and baking soda to whiten teeth, these natural whiteners are less expensive than commercial treatments. The strawberries loosen the hold of the stains on the teeth, while the baking soda buffs the stains away. And best of all, the danger of using chemicals on your teeth is not a concern.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK next let me show you another recipe with just using a plain banana 

so just take a banana and peel it like this

 Ok once you have your banana separate form the skin.. optional - eat the banana because we will be using the skin :)

 I know this also might sound gross but... do it its gonna really help.. take the inside and rub it on your teeth all over. That it its easy and all you need is a simple banana :)

More info 

Bananas last longer if hung on a banana rack in room temperature.

Drinks like dark sodas, coffee, dark wines, dark tea and of course, smoking all stain the teeth.

The leftover banana peel can be cut up and put in the freezer for using later even though it turns color, it can still be used and the leftover used for compost.

To whiten teeth  with banana peel is very safe and healthy for teeth as banana peels are a wonderful source of minerals and vitamins. They do not have the abrasiveness that other natural whiteners have and best of all they are inexpensive.
- ehow:)

Thank you guys and tell me what you try out and if it works:)

How to look You best in a Picture:)

Yes! I know its a little too late for school pictures.. 

• Don’t do *full frontal!* No, not the nudity kind, LOL!  Try a 3/4 pose. If you’re standing, turn slightly and rest your weight on one foot. If you’re sitting, angle slightly to one side or the other. Doing so angles the body, tips the shoulders a little and angles the head just a bit. It adds dimension to your pics and looks more interesting and natural than a straight-ahead pose.
• Lean slightly toward the camera. It adds interest, dimension and looks natural, too. Think of having a long neck like a giraffe. Tilt your chin down slightly to hide any double chin/s and to block the camera’s view up your nostrils.
• Learn, like Tyra says, to smile with your eyes. Think coy and demure, like a cougar luring her prey to come closer by acting harmless and innocent. Huge ear-to-ear smiles focus attention on your gums and can make you look like you’re squinting.
• Think BAM! Practice a picture pose trigger. Models are taught to change their state of mind in an instant by developing a trigger. When they’re about to have their picture taken, even if they feel like crap, they fire their trigger and BAM! — great photo. One trigger you hear a lot about is called the rear cheek squeeze.
  
  
  Don’t laugh, but it’s just like it sounds — you squeeze the cheeks of your rear end together and hold them that way for the shot.  Try it in your next picture.
• Keep looking up! That is, don’t look directly at the lens; look slightly above it. It brightens the eyes in pictures and makes you look more vibrant and alive.
  
      

How to get rid of Split Ends :)

Healthy defined by thick, shiny and bouncing hair without split ends. When most of the feature is accomplished the last one is always at a risk due to one or the other reasons. Read on to know causes and natural home remedies for hair split ends.

Causes

Hair split ends or Trichoptlosis happens when the hair's protective cuticle is stripped away from the ends of hair fiber. It happens when the natural oils from the scalp fail to reach the ends or when cortex loses moisture and the hair begins to unravel like a rope. Other reasons are

;

• dry scalp
• Exposure to extreme temperature and chemical products like relaxers and hair colour.
• Lack of nourishment.
• Excessive dying
• Vigorous brushing and backcombing. Use of metallic combs and brushes
• Brushing hair when it is still wet.
• Use of uncovered elastic bands on the hair.
• Use of satin pillows.
• Repeated use of heated appliances like iron or hair blow dryers

Trimming

once the hair is split the only cure is to trim. So, trim your hair with the help of these guidelines.

• Sit near a natural light source may be near the window or outdoors in the yard to see the split ends properly.
• Take a small section of hair and twist them in a downward motion. This will make the split ends to stick out automatically.
• Use a sharp scissor to snip off the split ends. Make sure you cut the damaged cuticles only. This will also enhance a natural layered effect with a thick bounce.

;t will take at least 45 minutes to go all around the head. Do it every six weeks lest the splits will travel up the hair and worsen the damage.

Home remedies to avoid split ends

;

• Mix well 1 teaspoon of castor oil, mustard oil and olive oil. Massage the scalp for atleast 30mins and apply it to the full length of hair. Cover the head with a hot towel later.
• Mix 1tspn of almond oil with 1 egg yolk and apply it to your scalp as well as hair. Wash it after ' an hour.
• Hair moisturizers are  made of mashed up avocado when applied to damp hair will prevent split ends effectively. Make sure you leave it on your hair for atleast 15-30 minutes. You can also add hot olive oil to it.
• If it is hard to get avocado then use mayonnaise in its place. Apply it once a week.
• Shampoo your hair after every workout or strenuous exercise, as due to perspiration the salt will erode your hair.
• Apply regular conditioner after every wash and deep conditioner once a month.

Try these easy tips and get rid of your split ends. 

Breaking Bad Beauty Habits

We all have bad beauty habits,  or your flawless 

Well what habits are primary to actually ditch 

here are the TOP 10  :)

Nail & cuticle biting: This habit is insanely unsanitary and will leave your hands and nails looking super unsightly.

Touching your hair too much or pulling your split ends: If you touch your hair too much, you get grease on your hair which forces you to wash it more. As pulling your split ends can damage your hair terribly so just for the trim instead of pulling it off in your boring 2 period 

Forgetting to floss: This is something i forget too. I always go to the dentist and they ask me if i floss my teeth everyday. I guess it a good thing and people who floss have way whiter teeth.

Not washing your face every night: take 5 minutes every night to wash your face and remove your makeup the future you will thank you for it! or say hello to premature wrinkles:)

Skipping the SPF: You dont want to look like raisin, so put on a sunscreen with an SPF above 30 every morning (especially to your face) and when you plan on spending time in the sun. 

Not drinking enough water: Try to Find out why drinking your H20s is SO important not only to your healthy but your beauty routine too.

Using dirty makeup brushes: Once again, this is a super unsanitary habit that you need to ditch ASAP!This spread germs like a wildfire and maybe i should do a blogpost on this! Its just gross and you'll end up having pimples all over your face

Over exfoliating: Too much of a good thing is usually never good for you. Over exfoliating your skin (especially your face) can be extremely harmful because it removes important oils from your skin and will over dry it, which can spur horrible acne break outs and even infections. Make sure you limit your facial scrubbing to only three times per week. 

Picking your zits: Don’t do it! It’s so SO bad for you and it can lead to permanent scarring and will cause more breakouts. This is gross and i have never tried it before but you rather not pick your zit and get a scar 

Over plucking your eyebrows: Your eyebrows are like the frame of your face so keep them tamed, but don’t over do it! I dont know why i just like the really skinny looking eyebrows. I guess it just freaks me out :)

So what do you think :)

DIY: Marble Your nails

I should really call this manicure “An Afternoon of Frustration” because that’s how trying to create a water marble manicure left me feeling; FRUSTRATED!  Those of you who have mastered the technique, I bow down to you.  I honestly have no desire to try this ever again but since I made the effort, I thought I’d share my experience  with you. I mean its easy to do but i just leaves me annoyed. I don't know why but its one of my Favorite trick that makes you nails look like pro:) Find out more about the water marble technique and my adventure trying to recreate the look after the jump!

The basic steps of the water marbling process sound easy enough; drop polish in water, create a pattern with a toothpick, dip nail, clean off excess. Simple right?  Here’s what you need to get started:

• Cup of room temperature water (filtered or distilled is preferable to tap)
• Toothpick or orange wood stick
• Cuticle oil
• 2-4 bottles of nail polish

STEP 1: Start with your nails painted and dry. Use a base color that will contrast the polishes you are using to create the marble effect. I chose to use a light base color, the minty green OPI Damone Roberts 1968.

The main issue with water marbling is that you are dipping your fingers into a pool of polish and it gets all over your skin and cuticle. You can take the time to clean it all off but I found a couple great tips on YouTube.  CND’s Kristina Baune Estabrooks suggests covering your skin with cuticle oil to prevent the polish from sticking to your skin and SimpleLittlePleasures uses tape to create a polish barrier. I chose to go the cuticle oil route. My skin can always benefit from some extra moisturizing.

STEP 2: Apply cuticle oil to your skin and cuticles all the way down to the top knuckle and don’t forget the underside of your nail.

STEP 3: Drop polish onto the surface of the water from about a half an inch away so the polish will disperse.  Continue adding drops in alternating colors to create rings of color.  Add drops until you achieve the depth of color you desire.

Tip: Not all polish will work well with water marbling so you have to test a few to see which ones disperse the best.  I tried OPI Suzi Says Feng Shui and it sank to the bottom of the cup.  After a little experimenting I ended up with Sally Hansen Emerald City and China Glaze 5 Golden Rings.

STEP 4: Use a toothpick or orange wood stick to create a pattern in the polish.  I’ve seen some people start from the outside but doing that just pulled all the polish into a clump so I started in the middle and worked from there.  Again, you have to play to find the method that works best for you.  Continue to swirl the polish until you create a pattern you like.  If you mess up, just start over.

Tip: To clean the water surface, add one drop of polish and spread it over the surface pulling the color to the edges with your stick. Let it dry for a few seconds and then “clean” the surface by removing the layer of polish with your stick.  It will pull up any floating bits of polish in the process.  I  picked up that trick fromSimpleLittlePleasures.

STEP 5: Dip your nail in the polish right after you finish creating your pattern.  If you wait too long the polish will dry.  While the nail is submerged, use your stick to pull the excess polish away from your skin.  Remove nail from water and shake off excess moisture.

STEP 6: Clean up the cuticle and skin.  Thanks to the cuticle oil, the majority of the polish will easily come off using a cotton pad.  I used a clean orange wood stick to push the polish off my cuticles, no remover needed.  For stubborn bits of polish dip a cotton swab in acetone.

The Finished Product

• While the cuticle oil helps with cleanup, it was still a major pain removing up all that excess polish.  I went through so many cotton pads and ended up getting polish on my other fingers.  I seriously don’t know how people do a full manicure on all 10 nails without losing their shit!
• Trying to draw a pattern that looks good is not easy and as you can tell, I did NOT succeed at it for the most part.
• It’s very easy to accidentally pull the pattern or ding it during cleanup and being a naturally clumsy person, I biffed two nails and had to start over.  I even made mistakes on the finished manicure but couldn’t bother to try again.

Now before you call me out for whining, I know that any new skill takes time and practice and I’m sure that the process becomes easier the more you do it.  Though in all honesty, with the amount of waste I created just marbling three nails, I have no desire to master this art.  I’ll be content with admiring the YouTubers from now on.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on water marble manicures.  Who’s tried it?  Do you love it? Hate it?  Do you have any tips to share?
