Three Ways To Tell A Guy Is Into You

1. The first sign a guy may be into you is if after he does something he looks at you.  For example, if he tells a joke and looks at you immediately or he does something funny and looks at you, he is looking for approval. He wants to make sure you liked what he did. 2. This may sound cliché, but if he starts acting different around you this could be another sign. This doesn't have to mean he is acting nervous around you, but he may be doing things out of the ordinary. He might be touching you more than normal, laughing at your jokes a little harder, or finding any excuse to be around you.   3. A third sign he could be into you is if he brings up things that you have previously said.  If you are talking and he brings up something you said a long time ago, that is a sign that he values and listens to you.  I am not talking about what you had for lunch yesterday, but something more meaningful, maybe something you don't even remember telling him.

Beauty Tips To Improve Confidence

Confidence is something that definitely comes from within, but there are some physical things that can be done to improve your confidence, and I am not just talking about losing weight. These tips are not meant for you to change anything about yourself, but to enhance what you have been given. Appreciating what you have on the inside is just as important as appreciating what you have on the outside. Drinking water will solve many problems.  Drinking a lot of water helps to flush toxins out of your body, improving the condition of your skin as well as your body.  Taking care of your hair and skin  can be a confidence booster.    Your hair and skin are the some of the first things people notice when they look at you, so when I am taking good care of my hair and skin, I just find myself feeling more confident.  The thing to remember when it comes to taking care of your hair and skin is finding products that work best, an...

The Future .vs. The Past

For today's blog post, I thought I would talk about the future.  Would you rather is a game where you are given two options and you have to pick the better of the two. Usually people make the options difficult to the point where you really don't benefit from either one.  For example, would you rather have bugs as your only source of food for the rest of your life or never be able to speak again? The question I have been thinking about lately is would you rather go to the future or the past?   I heard this question and I would love to know what you guys think. There are certainly problems with both.  Going to the future would be great because you would see how successful (or unsuccessful) you are.....but you wouldn't want to return to the present and do something to alter the life you were meant to have.  The past would be great because you would get to see your childhood but going back in time, could cause you to ruin your future.   So please lea...

How To Syle: Jeans Ft. Kourtney Kardashian

Image
I love Kourtney Kardashian's style.  It is very simple yet still sophisticated.  Kourtney wears a great deal of t-shirts and jeans, but never ceases to add a twist to them. This outfit is a great example of how little changes can turn a boring outfit into something exciting.  The red lipstick gives the outfit a pop of color.  The ripped jeans give her an edgy laid back vibe.  The tucked in tank top stops her clothes from looking too grungy.  The strappy heels give the outfit the right push to make it acceptable from day to night.  The peep toe booties immediately dress up this simple outfit. I love how Kourtney incorporated a white blazer with her simple t-shirt and jeans.  I think the white blazer brings out the acid wash in her jeans.  I love that she paired this outfit with a neutral bag and heels.  This is the perfect example of how a colored b...

Simple Skin Care Tips

Clean Your Makeup Brushes- Cleaning your makeup brushes minimizes the amount of grime your skin is exposed to. Try using baby shampoo. It is gentle, will leave your brushes crazy soft, and is good for people with sensitive skin.   Minimal Makeup- On days where your skin needs to breathe, and you still want to wear makeup, I would recommend wearing mascara and tinted lip balm or lip gloss. These products do not come in contact with your skin and will not clog your pores.   Natural Products- Natural products are more expensive but if nothing else is really working for your skin, I would advise giving natural products a try.   Moisturize- This is a very important part of skin care. Moisturizing your skin should be done year round.   Water- This is not a myth, drinking plenty of water helps clear skin.   Facial Cleansing- The shower is the perfect place to cleanse your face. The steam from the shower opens your pores...

Clueless Inspired Nail Art

Image
This nail art is Clueless inspired.  This is one of the best Clueless inspired nail designs that I have seen.  You will need the colors yellow, black, white, and grey.  The thumb nails and pinky nails are yellow with a black dot at the base of the nail.  The dot can be achieved by using a dotting tool or the end of a toothpick.  The pattern on the ring finger can be attained by using a thin brush and just dragging the brush from one end of the nail to the other.  Start with gray as the base and then draw the black lines and finally include the yellow strip down the middle.  Finally, all that has to be done is painting the remaining nails black and then use a thin brush to create the white letters.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clueless_(film)

How To Deal With A Moving Friend

  We have all had to deal with a moving friend.   That can be a lot to handle.  It may seem like it is impossible to remain friends, but there are some ways you can remain in contact with your friend.    Tips:   Writing letters is a great way to stay connected to a friend.  Sure, you could email them, but I like writing letters because they are more personal.  I also get excited when I see their letter in the mail.    The next tip is a given, and that is to stay connected through social media.  Believe it or not continuously seeing their posts can make it seem like they are not gone.    Another pretty obvious tip is to text, call or video chat them.  Being able to communicate with your friends using any form of video chat is the great because you are able to see them, so it is like they never really left. 

Winter Workout Hacks

Cold weather is usually an excuse for people not to workout.  There is no longer any excuse because I have found a couple of ways you can continue to workout without the weather being an issue. One Way: In home workouts.  They are an excellent way to get a workout in without ever leaving the comfort of your home.  It is very easy to go online and find different challenges, like ab challenges or squat challenges but those are only good for toning your body.  If you want to lose body fat, you should look up cardio challenges or cardio videos online.  The Second Way: Seventeen Magazine Workouts.  In every issue of Seventeen magazine they include an in home workout.  These are perfect if you want a fast workout.  If you don't have any of their magazines, you can go online and type in seventeen magazine workout and find a lot of workouts pages from the magazine.  The Third Way: Focus On Eating Healthy...

My Go To Winter Life Hacks

For those of you who don't know, a hack is a tool or technique that makes some aspect of ones life easier or more efficient.  My first winter life hack are nude tights.  I love wearing nude tights in the winter when I wear dresses and shorts.  They keep my legs covered up without looking like I am wearing tights. My second winter life hack is hand made leg warmers.  They are great under boots.  Take an old sweater and cut off the sleeves.  Measure them and make them as long as you want.  They will keep your legs really warm during the winter. My third winter life hack is for when you wake up in the morning and it is really cold.  I like to keep a pair of fuzzy socks by my night stand.  When I wake up in the morning, I put them on first thing.  That way, my feet are really warm and I don't have to worry about my cold floor. My fourth winter life hack is a way to keep my skin moisturized during the winter months.  ...

My Top Three Winter Fashion Must Haves

Image
I am a huge fan of sweaters and blouses.....so why not put them together? I love the layered look it creates.  Blouses are a great way to make sweaters look more put together, and they can keep you extra warm if your sweater isn't very thick.  You could also take off the sweater if you get too cold.     This is another one of my favorite winter looks.  I love oversized sweater cardigans.  I like these because I can wear them with a tank top and be casually cute or I can wear them with a blouse and be instantly sophisticated.      More winter fashion essentials are long socks/tights.  I think these are a perfect way to jazz up any outfit.  Specifically, colored tights.  Personally, I wear a lot of tights during the winter season.  My legs get really cold so they are perfect way to cover my legs when wearing a dress or a skirt etc.  Socks also do the sam...
