DIY Beachy Hair Spray...

Hello friends! ☼☼☼ Since summer is in full affect, I try not to use hot styling tools on my hair if I don't have to. Summer time is a great time to break out the salt water sprays and rock beachy waves and curls :D

There are many brands that have these sprays, but wouldn't be even better to create one yourself? Here is a quick DIY:

What You'll Need:

• 1 Spray bottle
• 2 cups of warm water
• Tablespoon of sea salt
• Tablespoon of coconut oil 

Mix the ingredients all together and pour them in the spray bottle. Spray this on wet hair.

☼☼☼ For even more beachy waves, section off hair in as many pieces as you have patience for, then twist each section. Then let it dry and shake it out.

Hint: The less you heat style your hair, the healthier it will be, and the better this will start looking!

GRWM Meetup...!

So I got the amazing opportunity to meet a woman who I have been watching for a while now, Nicole Guerriero (Nicole's YouTube Channel). She is such a sweet, down-to-earth girl who loves makeup and always gives me that boost of confidence when I need it. She also doesn't take anyone's s*** and can always make you laugh.

I recorded a GRWM before my meetup with this fabulous woman. I kept the makeup simple and not overdone:

• Garnier BB Cream
• Benefit's Erase Paste
• NYC Bronzer
• It Cosmetics Brow Pencil
• Maybelline Plumped up Mascara
• Milani Corallina Blush
• Maybelline Baby Lips

Make Your Hair Grow Faster...

Good morning all of my friends! I hope your day is going well so far. Has anything great happened today? :)

I have been looking at my hair recently and notice that it is getting longer by the day! It makes me very excited because normally my hair doesn't grow very fast. It seems like some people's hair grows as slow as molasses moves, but others grow their hair inches overnight...what's the deal!!???

For those of who you are like me, and have a hard time growing long hair, there are some tips and tricks you can do to speed up the process.

• Trim your hair!

It may seem odd to trim hair when you are trying to grow it out. However it has been shown that if you trim your ends every 6 weeks or so it will encourage your hair to grow longer. It will also keep your hair looking healthy by getting rid of dead ends :)

• Drink Lots and Lots of Water!

Drinking at least 6-8 cups a day will increase the strength of your hair and keep it looking shiny and healthy.

• Brush Lightly!

Brushing too hard can not only damage hair, it can prevent hair from growing all together; ESPECIALLY if it is wet! If you must brush hair while wet, use a wide tooth comb to avoid breakage and damage.

• Don't Over-wash Your Hair!

Try to only wash hair every second or third day. This will help your hair keep its protective layer of oils and helps it grow longer. Use a dry shampoo for the days when your hair is looking a little oily!

• Let It Be!

This step is the hardest, but style your hair as less as possible. Avoid tight up do’s that might bring on breakage and try to avoid styling products while growing out hair. This will prevent the hair strands from weakening and will help you grow out hair at a faster rate.

DIY Strawberries n' Creme Smoothie...

Hi there my beauties! Today I was feeling the urge to race over to my local Starbucks for one of my favorite drinks...the Strawberries N' Creme' Frappaccino. This drink is a great alternative for those who don't like coffee....because there is none! :)

♥ 1/2 cup Milk
♥ 1/4 cup Vanilla Ice Cream
♥ 1 cup Ice
♥ 2 Strawberries
♥ 2 tbsp Strawberry Syrup

Combine all the ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour into a glass and top with whipped cream. Yum!!!!
