Pinterest DIY Shellac Hack

Have you seen that DIY Shellac Hack pin on Pinterest? It looked so easy, so I tried it!

 

All you need is:

• Sally Hansen's Hard As Wraps
• Your choice in polish
• Sally Hansen's No Chip Top Coat

(Instructions are attached in the DIY Shellac Hack link)

 

This is one week exactly...not too shabby.  Once I started writing this blog post, I saw an update on the DIY Shellac Hack post...you can use Sally Beauty Supply's Gelous polish and it lasts longer.  Seven days are long enough for me without chipping....I love changing my color! This was a definite hit!!!

Glitter Ombré Nails

I got bored the other night and decided to try something new.  So I decided to try ombre nails with glitter.  I love how it turned out.  (It looks so much better in person than in the photos)

Fake Hair Don't Care!

Have you ever had one of those mornings where you wake up late and don't have enough time to do your hair?  That happens to me...a lot! I try to do all those fancy messy buns, but they never work out for me.  So I use my hairpiece instead.  I went to Sally's Beauty Supply and bought this hairpiece. It matches perfectly with my hair and you can't tell it is fake.  This is synthetic hair y'all! Which means you can NOT curl it or straighten it or it will melt! I just Put my hair in a pony tail and scrunch up some hair and wrap the hairpiece around it like a hair band.

Smooth Summer Feet

 

I love summer, I love getting cute pedi's and I love my sandals! (I can't stand to wear shoes.) The only problem is the bottom of my feet.  I can't stand it when my feet are rough and callus like.  (Makes me cringe!) To keep my feet smooth and soft this is what I do:

I have this little inflatable foot spa I use to soak my feet in. (This is temporary until my sister gets me a really nice foot soak spa for Christmas hint, hint, hint!!!) I will fill it up with warm water and pour in some Epsom salts.  Dr. Teal's Lavender Epsom Salts are my favorite.  They smell fabulous!

I usually soak my feet for about a half hour. This is my relaxing time! I love reading books while I soak my feet.

After I am finished with soaking my feet I take Heel to Toe Foot Scrub and put it on a Mr.Pumice bar.

Next thing I do is scrub, scrub, scrub! I scrub the bottom of my heel and the sides of my foot. I scrub quite a bit. I then rinse, dry and apply some lotion.

Ahhhh....my feet feel amazing now! I love it!

My Daily Face Regimen

My daily face regimen products

 Three times in the past few weeks people have complimented me on my face.  My cousin Misty told me my skin looks like porcelain (Which was a huge compliment considering she is gorgeous!), a woman at panera gave me a compliment on my skin and there was a couple of girls in my classes that  were shocked when I told them my age. (I love that reaction! And I hope that I age like my Momma, she definitely doesn't look her age!) So here it is:

Morning Routine

In the morning I wash my face with Clean & Clear Morning Burst.  About 3 times a week I will use St. Ives Fresh Skin Invigoration Apricot Scrub in the shower. When I am putting my make up on the very first thing I use is Collagen Filler on the target wrinkle areas. (around eyes to prevent crows feet, forehead lines, and laugh lines) Once it dries I put on some Clinique SPF 40 Super City Block sunscreen.  (I have super oily skin and this is amazing! I just got it recently & LOVE it! It doesn't make my skin feel oily at all!) I used to tan when I was younger and now I could just kick my self for it. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS use SPF ladies!!!! I always use it!!! (And don't forget your ears! My Anatomy instructor told us a lady had to have the top of her ears amputated because she was out in the sun every day and used sunscreen but never thought about her ears!)

Nightly Routine Products

At night I will take my make up off with make up removing wipes and slather on the Noxzema.  I do not wash this off right away- I leave it on for a few hours before bed.  (I read an online article on a lady who asked her grandmother what she used on her face because she had no wrinkles and she said she used Noxzema.  She would put it on & sleep with it on and wash it off in the morning.  -I just can't do that! I feel like it would make my pillow case gross.) After I have that Noxzema on for a few hours and wash it off, my face feels so amazingly soft! Then I will put on some Dickinson's Witch Hazel. (It is non-drying and conditions pores to maintain clear & smooth skin.  It is 100% natural and I'm not going to lie, it doesn't smell the greatest!)

Before I go to bed

After I feel that the Witch Hazel has dried I will put my moisturizers.  First I put on my trusty Collagen, (but this time not around the eyes) Ponds cream on my face and Benefit's It's Potent! Eye Cream.  (I just got this the other day.  I like it so far!) I am constantly trying new things and changing it up a little, but this is what I am using & loving right now.
