Fashion Tip Corner

There's a trick to preserving the life of your pants and jeans. Some people dry clean only. Others, hand wash, dry on low or skip the dryer all together and hang them up to dry. Seems like no matter what you do however, your pants always find a way to shrink.

Flip side. You order your pants online. Perhaps you're using your same ol tried and true store site or perhaps you're feeling adventurous and decide to try a new site. You carefully pick out your selection,  make sure it's the long/tall length option, and take the time to factor in your measurements and the measurements according to the respective website.......only for them to arrive too short!

What's a person to do?! Well, there's a solution. And it only involves two steps! Thats right, you're only two steps away from a fashion blunder to a fashion statement! Simply fold the bottom of your pants into a small cuff. Next, throw on a pair of heels. Voilà! Instant fashion statement!

The strappier the heel, the better!

So, before you throw out those old pair of pants/jeans, before you give away those pants/jeans that just aren't long enough, try adding a small cuff and some heels! 

Till next time!

Coconut Oil Face Wash

Hello!

First let me offer up some apologies. My sister and I were off to a fast start, but then life happened! We have been busy behind the scenes trying to find a site for our store and get it up running, establishing a good base on Instagram, buying needed supplies and essentials for our homemade products we plan to offer, second jobs, going back to school, kiddos, sigh, the list goes on and on.

We still have a bit of a ways to go before our store opens, (shooting for March 1, 2016.) But, in the meantime, we are going to try and re-gain the steam back into our blog! Thanks so much for your patience and accompanying us on this journey!



Here's a quick post I did on one of my favorite oils, hope you enjoy it!



Need an all natural face cleanser or  make up remover that is as gentle on your face as it is your pocketbook? Try coconut oil!


Coconut oil really is one of my favorite oils. With that being said, I had been hesitant to try it this way at first, especially since you are literally putting oil on your face. It seemed like I would be doing the opposite of what I was supposed to be doing. (Especially since my skin is prone to breakouts.) However, the one I had been using finally ran out and I kept putting off going to store. So I figured now's a good time as any. LOL

Any all natural, vegan, or organic brand should do.

Well, my laziness paid off! After the first use, I could immediately tell the difference. My skin was already feeling softer and there was no dryness or irritation at all! I've been using it for over a week now, and my breakouts have started to subside, my skin tone is evening out, and even my blemishes are starting to fade. I wish I would have done a picture series, but I'm not that brave yet to share my bare face to the world! O.O


Anywho, please keep in mind that all skin types are not the same. I would think that since it's natural, the worse it could do would be to leave your skin a little oily. Only you truely know if this is something that you could add to your beauty regimen or not. If you give it a try, I would love to hear your results!

Till next time!



P.S. The steps I followed to make this an effective cleanser for me is as follows:

1. Take roughly a nickel sized amount of the coconut oil and apply it in circular motions around face,  neck, and eyes. (Taking extra care around eyes.)
2. Take a towel/face cloth and wet it with warm water.
3. "Wash" your face with said towel. (You may have to re-wet the towel again with warm water before the oil/makeup is removed to your liking.
4. Optional. Splash your face with cooler water a few times to close pores and seal in the nourishing effects of the coconut oil.
5. Pat dry.

Hello World!!!

Hi dolls! And welcome to our blog! We are up and coming bloggers trying to make our mark in this world and hope you will join us on our journey. I've been tall and awkward all of my life. LOL  I have a strong geeky side, with a dash of dorkiness. :) My passions include nails, natural hair and anything retro. It's also hard for me to talk about myself, so this is me being detailed. :)




: My sister and I will be blogging, sharing advice and tips, and more for the 5`9 and up club. However, all are loved and welcomed. I've come to love and appreciate the 6 feet of height I've been blessed with, but it wasn't always easy for me. As a youth finding clothes and sometimes being accepted was a challenge. I think most women one point in their lives or another has dealt with that in one way or another. But, im over it. Now as an adult, I feel I have embraced the know how, confidence, and style, and I want to share that with you! *Positive vibes!  Please feel free to like ,comment, and share, thanks!
