4 days....

Okay well I missed a day but nothing really exciting happened yesterday.

So, there 4 days left until my show, and the next day going on vacation!

My knee really hurts right now but I've been icing it. Today I'm gonna do a clarifying face mask, just to help keep my skin clear, so that i don't have to worry about it when caking on all the stage makeup. Also doing a facial is going to help relax me a bit, which is really important leading up to the show, because so many other thing contribute to stress..

I'm going to start laying out the clothes I want to pack today, and finish that up tomorrow, so I can be all packed and ready before the day of the show, so all I have to think about is the show :)

Here's some stress free tips I'm using this week:
-Drink lots of water (when you really busy and it's so hot outside it is really important to hydrate, and drinking lots of water helps flush out toxins that can lead to stress and broken out skin)

-Cut out other fluids (if you drink other stuff like soda, juices, I've been really obsessed with Brisk Iced tea lately, but by cutting those out you cut back on alot of sugar, and unwanted calories. With the exception, of a cup of coffee an hour before dancing or rehearsal, to help get my energy going!)

-Get outside but use SUNSCREEN (right now where I live it's really hot outside, and the last thing you want is to be bright red with sunburn on stage, so use sunscreen, but get outside to breathe the fresh air, and get you mind off everything for an hour or so.  Go read a book in the shade, or do some gardening; I have a couple small flower beds that i like to take care of.)

-Go to bed early! (It's the week of the show and with all those hours of rehearings, your gonna be exhausted before the show, unless you give your body enough time to recharge every night, so even log on to your computer, something that easily sucks me in late at night, instead drink a cup of tea or take a nice warm bath,
and go to bed as early as you can.)

Have a wonderful de-stressful day!!!

New series

So I know i haven't blogged in a while..... so i think i'm gonna do a short blog series

I'm going to Florida for vacation in 7 days, and I have a huge show I'm performing in the day before, so my thinking is that I'll do a short post everyday giving sort of an update, and how and what I pack and what I do to prepare for my show. I'd also really love to get comments, but i understand if you don't have an account, and can't comment, but i kinda just want to know if anyone even reads this?

So 6 days.... post #1 in series
Today I have been out all morning so now i'll probably just chill for the rest of the day and work on my paper(I have to finish before I leave), I might take a bath and do a face mask and shave my legs to relax myself a little before this crazy week starts.

Current injuries:
I have a torn meniscus in my knee and it hurts really bad so i have to take it easy at rehearsal the next two days.

Shin splints, ICE ICE and more ICE!

until tomorrow..... Lots of love and hope for healing

WHAT SAVED MY BRUSHES!

So the last time after i washed all my makeup brushes, the bristles started falling out!! This freaked me out cause i didn't want to lose all my good brushes...so I searched on youtube for some proper brush cleaning techniques. These two videos combined worked wonders on my brushes! They came out squeaky clean, and so soft, and dried in perfect shape! They're like new again.

I don't have the brush guards so i used this DIY technique below

You should clean your brushes almost every week, not as much with eyeshadow brushes, because your eyelids don't contain as much oil and bacteria. Foundation brushes should be cleaned week, I know some people that clean them after every use; but I never have time to do that. Also what ever you use to apply powder with should be washed quite frequently, think about it,  when you use powder throughout the day it's to blot up oils so over time your brush will be so filled wiht oil and bacteria that you keep puting back onto your face....Ewwww gross right!?

Have a beautiful squeaky clean day!!!

VIDEO! zebra nails

Hello everyone it's time for the video of the week! which is really more just a video whenever I have time to post.

I just painted my finger and toenails with this and it looks fabulos!!! It's really fun to do and not to hard after you get the hang of it, I use a tiny brush to do the small lines, and it came out great!! Don't worry if it's not perfect every Zebra's stripes are different!!!

Whats in for Spring

Spring is such a happy time of the year! It's my favorite season, everything starts growing and smells so fresh especially right after spring cleaning!

But the big question is what is in fashion for spring???? well I'm no expert but i'm gonna tell everyone about some of my favs that are in right now...

1. Nude heels are kind of a staple piece and can pair up with so many things for tons of different looks.

(this is just a picture I found, but these are super cute and I kinda really want them haha)

  2. Strappy/Caged sandal or heel, you can find this style in ether flat or a heel and they seem to be really in for spring.
  

3.Heeled ankle boots, most people think that these are just for spring, but you can still pull them off for spring, try pairing them with tights (try some fun lacy ones ) and a short dress or skirt.... anytime you can extend the season to wear one of your favs GO FOR IT!

There are so many gorgeous makes of this show style I'm just in love with them!

 4. Cardigans!!! Since sometimes it's still a little chilly in the spring, stock up on these, they are great for layering, I personally really like the ruffly ones :D

5. Small floral print.

6. Lace finally lace is making a comeback, and it's a perfect to add a touch a elegance to your outfit, and add the sexiness of showing some skin without bearing it all ;)

7. ZEBRA print!! It's everywhere! and is and will always be "in" for me. 

 Have an awesome day, and if your poor like me have fun putting together amazing outfits in your head! :D

Get it Right

Crying my heart out in the middle of the night, I just can't.... Can't seem to get it right.
No not for anyone. I feel so much emotion and I can't turn it out into words, so I pour it into my soul and hope it turns our okay. Please give me time more time to figure things out, my life is rushing by and I don't know what to do?

It's OK to feel this way sometimes (I'm feeling this way right now but it helps me to get it out, see above haha) Theres always a fresh new day tomorrow, so don't give up!

Yes I'm a Glee fan but I'm not obsessed I just am always in awe of people who can sing so good and I love to listen to the purity of their voice without so much editing and distortion.

LOTS OF LOVE <3
