My Hair

For today's blog I thought I'd do a story type thing about something that happened in my school quite recently and it got me thinking so now I'm typing.
So the other day me and this guy were talking at school and the topic of my hair came up. As of know my hair is in braids and he was wondering what my natural hair looked like. Being a black girl my hair is obviously different to white peoples hair, so I showed him. I got out my phone and proceeded to show him my hair.
I know it's probably really shallow of me but I'm actually really insecure with my hair. Especially for the longest time I've always been surrounded with what the media thought was beautiful and acceptable in terms of hair.
So anyway when u showed the boy my hair his first word were "whoa that's weird". At first it didn't really matter to me that he thought it was weird because it's my hair and I feel comfortable with it and he's never really been exposed to my type of hair before. But by then another boy saw the picture and said "you look like a clown". When he said that to me I instantly felt degraded, when really I have nothing to feel bad about. To say that I looked like a clown because my hair was DIFFERENT, will not get me down.
And also to be comparing my hair to a clowns head is so ignorant. I don't think he realised that when he said that a little part of me died but if I took notice to what every single persons says about my hair then I just would be downright depressed by now. I mean I've been called Medusa before because I had my hair in braids and just because I'm different doesn't mean it's going to get me down. So to the two boys at my school (especially clown boy) and every ignorant person out there thanks for saying what you said because in the bigger picture you just made me a stronger person.
Have a great day, today and every single day ❤️

How to Dress for Your Body Shape

Before we get right into it, I will tell you about everyone one of these body shapes and then help you dress for the certain shape.

The Straight, Rectangular Body Shape
Today I will talking all about the rectangles body shape and how gorgeous you can look with the right information.

If you have a straight body shape then it means that your figure is, more or less, straight up and down. On the bright side you are very much similar to an hourglass figure without the, to die for waist. One of your best assets are your legs, so don’t forget to flaunt them girls! The key to dressing for your body shape is to add curves by wearing belts around your waists to give off the hourglass figure. Belts should now be your best friend forever. You should also find skirts that flare out from the hips to also give the illusion of an hourglass figure. Plus they’ll look great on your legs so it’s a win, win situation. Celebrities who work the straight, rectangle body shape are Emma Watson, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Kristen Stewart etc.
If they can do it then so can you!!
Have a great day today, tomorrow and every single day<3

Being a Teenager

Lately i thought i would write about being a teenager, the relationships, beauty, fashion, music, sports etc. So i'm going to start a series all about being a teen. This week i'll be talking about popular makeup looks.
First up are the things that literally define the face and make a huge impact, whether you're aware or not are The Brows.
  • For the perfect eyebrow look that i personally use, you will need something to fill your eyebrows with, i use an eyebrow pencil, they usually come with a brush on the end, concealer, an angled brush and a blending brush. And the best part of this eyebrow tutorial is that you won't need to thread/pluck your eyebrow if you follow the steps correctly, unless you have serious eyebrow problems.
  • First things first you need to brush your eyebrows back so you can see what you're dealing with and to reveal your natural eyebrow shape.
  • Next outline your eyebrows without altering them too drastically.
  • Once you are happy with the outline of your brows fill them in. 
  • Make sure that when you're filling your eyebrows in that you don't put too much product on so it's not as noticeable and they always look more natural if you fill them in with light strokes for the natural look.
  • Lastly for the finished look, to making your eyebrows on fleek, the most important step i think is to highlight all around the edge of your eyebrows but that's optional because highlighting the lower edge of your eyebrows gives you the illusion of more height, but you do  what feels right for you. When you have applied the concealer with your angled brush, get your blending brush and blend, blend, blend, because you don't want people knowing the secret of your brows.
If you follow all these steps correctly you should have on fleek eyebrows, but don't forget Rome wasn't built in a day so don't worry if they're not perfect the first time.

Have a great day today, tomorrow and every single day <3

Makeup Mistakes We've All Made

So this week i thought i'd help all the makeup beginners out there because i know some of these tips that i have in here would've good to know when I was starting out in makeup. Now i'm not a makeup guru so if you don't like what i have to say then bye bye. So let's get on with this blog.

So, when you first start out with makeup your more likely to get the wrong shade so to save yourself the shame go into a beauty store and ask on of the people on the makeup counters and they'll help you out. If that sounds to intimidating to you just ask your mom. She probably knows more than you do and I'm sure she'd love to help you out. Plus a lot a people's makeup peeve is seeing someone wearing foundation in the wrong shade.

Secondly, unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, you will have noticed Kylie Jenner's lips and how popular they're becoming. Because of this sudden popularity, people are trying to recreate the look and oh my god can it go terribly wrong. I mean if you can't line your lips properly, put down the lip liner and back away from your makeup set.

Next if you're going to fill in your eyebrows then good for you but don't make it too obvious. And if a boy comments on your brows you just know they're too obvious. i mean you don't want to look like you have slugs on your face right?

Lastly if  you are going to wear blusher, make sure you wear it right. You should NOT put it on your cheekbones but just on your cheeks trust me, you will thank me. And secondly don't pack too much blush on, you don't want it to be noticeable, you want to look like your flushed and healthy.

I hope this helped you and hopefully you won't make the same mistakes I did.

Have a great day today, tomorrow and every single day<3

The Would You Rather Tag

So this week I thought I would do the would you rather tag, so here it goes.

Would you rather walk around all day with you skirt tucked in your underwear or be seen wearing a really see through dress?

I would for sure walk with a really see through dress, considering i would be wearing underwear and everything wasn't just hanging out, than walking around all day with my skirt tucked in my underwear. I mean think about it #embarrassing.

Would you rather go to a party and not realize until the end of the night that you have lipstick on your teeth or that your fake lashes are coming unglued?

Well apart from the fact that I don’t wear false eyelashes right now, (never say never right) and I have suffered from the trauma of having lipstick on my teeth before. I would have to go with the lipstick on teeth.

Would you rather forget to put mascara on one eye or forget blush on one side of your face?

I would rather forget to put blush on one side of my face, mostly because I CANNOT forget to put mascara on my ity bity lashes, so sorry blush but it’s got to be you.

Would you rather wear lipstick/lipliner combo or frosty blue eyeshadow?

I would for sure take the lipstick/lipliner combo because a) I rock the combo and b) I cannot and I mean cannot ever see myself in a frost blue eyeshadow, it just wouldn’t look cute.

Would you rather wear foundation that is two shades too light or go way overboard on bronzer?

Even though I’ve already experienced going out in foundation that is two too light (everyone has right?) i would rather go overboard with the bronzer and if I went way overboard on bronzer you probably would be able to tell, so yeah.

Would you rather drink an entire bottle of ketchup or run into the guy who broke your heart on a bad hair day when your skin is freaking out?

This was a hard decision but ultimately pick running into the guy who broke my heart on a bad hair day when my skin is breaking out BECAUSE if he broke my heart then I don’t give a DAMN about him and what he thinks abut me and I don’t want ketchup to ever be ruined for me.

Would you rather be able to date any celeb you wanted or wake up with perfect red carpet-worthy hair?

I know this is going to sound super vain but I would rather be able to date a celeb I wanted, preferably ROBERT PATTINSON, (hallelujah), because he is my a) man crush and b) having the opportunity to date him would be too good to give up.

Would you rather give up your makeup or cell phone for one year?

I would rather give up my cell phone for a year, not because I’m so self-conscious about myself, but because I feel that I don’t really use my phone that much and it wouldn’t affect me that much and who needs a phone when they have a laptop right?

Would you rather run into a cute guy you like with food all in your grill or no makeup at all?

I would rather run into a cute guy with no makeup at all mainly because running into a cute guy with food all up in my grill is SO unattractive and I think I look fine without any makeup so yeah.

I hope you enjoyed this would you rather blog.

Have a great day today, tomorrow and every single day <3

A Funny YouTube Video

This week I thought I would do a blog on a video I have recently watched. The video is called the switching clothes challenge or the dress up challenge. Now the creators of this challenge are bf vs gf, but I prefer the video that Marcus butler did. The reason I’ve decided to do this blog because the video was so funny so I thought I’d enlighten you on it. They will literally leave you crying with laughter.



Feel free to tell me what you think about these videos down in the comments below and which one you like the best.

Have a great day today, tomorrow and every single day <3
