3 Easy Steps To Beautiful Waves


So you want perfect volume and waves, well you have come to the right place! Here, we have provided you with 3 easy steps on how to get a perfect head full of volume, and waves. It's extremely simple, and fun, and there's just 3 simple things you'll need:

1) Medium length hair (shoulder or longer)
2) A curling iron (11/2)
3) Hairspray

Step 1

First things first, begin by separating your hair into two sections on each side of your face. Start with one section at a time, working your way from the back to the front. Take 1-2 strands of your hair, and curl your hair outwards with the barrel pointing away from your face. Hold the iron for at least 10 seconds or more depending on the thickness of your hair.

Step 2
Repeat the first step until all of your strands are curled, then shake your curls out by gently running your fingers through your hair. Flip your hair over for more volume.

Step 3
Add some hairspray to make-sure your waves stay put, for some extra volume flip your hair over, and spray at your roots. You can finish it off with a frizz fighting gloss or spray and you're ready to go. Enjoy the waves!

Color Trends For Fall/Winter 2011

Wondering what colors designer's are working with this season and what colors are lighting up the runway? Well, for all you fashionista's, you've come to the right place! Here's a little peep into some of the color trends you'll be seeing this fall, and winter all the way through into next year.

One hot color trend you should be seeing a lot of this season is soft colors. You can basically experiment with all colors you want as long as it has a more subdued tone to it rather than flashy. Flashy and bright tones work for the summer seasons but can look too aggressive, and too loud for the winter. As for bright colors, the fall/winter season is all about incorporating  bright colors into your outfit with accessories only, as in a scarf, a bag, a hat, or boots. Do not let it take over your whole outfit, and do not let it be the main piece. Bright colors should be worn in little details during the fall/winter season's.

Neutral tones for the fall, and winter season are trending this year. The classic black's, and white's. They never go out of style, and are so easy to pair with other colors. Prints are here to stay for another season. Floral prints, and animal prints, you can wear them alone, or you can mix and match different patterns together. You can be bold, and daring with it or you can choose to keep it simple. It's your choice.

Midnight blue, burgundy, and grape are lighting up the runways also this year. Anything from dresses, to shirts, coats, and shoes. They're luxurious colors, and versatile. These colors are great to wear during the day, and can also transition into a more glamorous look for the evening. Don't forget about shiny colors, for special events that need a special kind of outfit, don't be afraid to experiment with sparkling garments. Be tasteful, and never go overboard with it.

Beauty Tips For A Beautiful Complexion

Having and keeping a beautiful, healthy, glowing complexion requires some care. It is an ongoing process that requires quite abit of your attention, but in the end we all know it's worth it! There is nothing like having beautiful healthy skin, here are some easy tips to follow, and you'll be well on your way to beautiful skin. 

TIP #1 Cleanse Morning & Night
Firstly, it is important that you keep your skin clean, and cleanse morning and night, because failing to remove your make-up at night gives bacteria a perfect breeding ground, and you're going to wake up with some unwanted pimples.You can wash your face twice at night, once to remove the make-up, and again to cleanse your skin. Knowing your skin type is vital. Whether your skin is oily or dry, find the right products for your skin type.

TIP #2 Exfoliate, Exfoliate, Exfoliate
Don't forget to exfoliate! You can choose to exfoliate daily or up to 2-3 times a week, whatever works better for your own skin type. Exfoliating your skin removes dead skin cells from your skin thus making it easier to absorb lotions, and creams. If you don't have one on hand, you can make your own, a tablespoon of oatmeal or sugar work's just fine. Remember to always be gentle with your skin as being too rough on your skin can cause soft tissue to break, and that's where bacteria will harbor.

TIP #3 Drink Plenty Of Water, Exercise, Avoid Stress & Take A Multivitamin
Always drink plenty of water. Exercise, avoid stress, and consider taking a multivitamin to ensure you are getting all the proper nutrients. Drinking plenty of water, and keeping a healthy diet is key to having, and keeping a healthy complexion. Be sure to drink 8 glasses of water a day for a beautiful complexion.

TIP #4 Avoid Wearing Foundation As Much As Possible
If you must wear foundation remove it as soon as you get home, the longer you wear it the more you clog your pores. Avoid wearing it, and let your skin breathe as much as possible.

TIP #5 Indulge In A Once-A-Week Facial Treatment Mask
Indulge in a once a week pampering session where you apply an all over mask. You can try making an at-home mask, if you don't have one on hand. Be sure to exfoliate your skin first, then apply the mask all over, and then mositurize.
