Dip Dye Update

Hey guys! So if you read my last post, you'll know that i did a diy dip dye "instructions/ tutorial"... anyway, after I posted that I realized i need to add some more instructions so if you do try it it'll work the best for you. So here we go!
1. So, instead of waiting for your hair to dry, you need to wash it, so rinse it out first until the water turns to a faded pink color (or whatever color you used) and then wash it with shampoo and conditioner. rinse your hair until the water runs clear.
2. Dry it now, to see how it looks and if you need to add anymore color to it, because you will probably need to.
3. Once your hair is dry, go through, and find spots that you need to touch up and leave that in for 20 minutes and repeat the process of rinsing it out and shampooing.
***There is a different way to dip dye your hair, you don't have to do the braids, this is just how I did it, and I absolutely love it. You can also look on youtube and find several videos of how to do it.****
Oh! and Pictures to come!

Dip Dying

Hey guys! So, i'm sure most of y'all have seen people with "dip dyed" hair. Well, i think its so cute and perfect for summer! I love how bright the colors are and its so pretty and different! As I'm typing this I'm actually in the process of dip dying my hair, so I thought why not do a tutorial!
I'm using Splat hair dye, I got it at walgreens and the kits are about $10 each.
1. The first thing I did, was braid my hair in to braids.  Let the hair tie be the spot you want your dye to stop.  Remember: you can always add more color but you can't take it out!
2. If you have darker hair or want more vibrant color, bleach the ends of your hair.  In the Splat kit it comes with directions on how to bleach your hair. It also comes with the bleach, a bottle to keep the color in and a nozzle on top so you can put the color into your hair without getting your fingers too messy.
3.After you put the bleach in your hair, wrap it in tin foil and follow the time for how long to keep it in depending on your hair color, I left mine in for 35 minutes, but my hair is already a light brownish blonde.
4. Take the tin foil out and make sure your hair is dry! If you need to, blow dry it until it is completely dry. It takes about 10 minutes using the blow dryer for it to completely dry.
5. Once your hair is dry,take the color you want (or colors) and start to apply them to your ends.  If you don't mind getting a little dirty, you can use your hands, or you can use gloves, or you can use a brush. I just used a small acrylic paint brush, you can get them anywhere. I got mine at either Michaels or Walmart.
6.Once you've covered your ends, wrap them in tin foil and leave it in for around 20 minutes.
7. Once the 20 minutes is up, take out the tin foil and blow dry until the ends are completely dry.
8.Enjoy your new hair!

Demi Lovato looks so happy and gorgeous with her bold pink tips.

Miley looks absolutely gorgeous with her ombre hair and stunning makeup

Nicki Minaj: a little out there, but when is she not! Her bold approach to this trend is very bright and colorful and screams Nicki.

The "Upcoming Star" or so I've heard, Cher Loyd rocks her ombre dip dyed hair. It looks so great with the three colors, going from a bold pink to a dark brown.

What do you think of this trend? Is it good for the summer or would you rather pass? Leave a comment below and let me know!

Love you beauties!

Its Not Always About a Fashion Statement

Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I just got back home from my vacation.   I did not want to leave at all! Uhh it was so hard to leave this morning!  Anyway, so my hopes for the travel series didn't exactly work out and I feel SO bad that I couldn't post it after I told y'all I could. But don't worry I'm going to be leaving in about two weeks, so definitely look out for my travel series!
Anyway this post isn't supposed to be about my traveling. I wanted it to be a kind of inspirational post, well not exactly inspirational... never mind i don't know what to call it so its just a post. So today on my way to the airport I thought life isn't always about a fashion statement. it doesn't matter what you wear to the airport, or to the mall. Like to the airport I wore nike shorts and a polo v-neck, threw my hair up in a messy top knot, no makeup and flip flops.. I was ready to go. If you want to go all out, go for it, but my point is you can wear whatever you want anywhere. You don't always have to worry about pulling in the trends, or a pop of color. I'm not saying never put together an outfit but to me you don't always have to worry about making a fashion statement.  Just know,everyone looks beautiful in anything they are wearing it doesn't matter about the designer brands and makeup.


Love you!

Travel Update: Day 1

Hey guys! So first of all for the travel series.. I will try to have the posts up by the end of my vacation!  Sorry, I've been super busy these past 2 days and haven't really had time to post and take pictures. 
Anyway, today I flew down to visit my family. I'm so excited I haven't seen them in almost over a year, so it'll be great to see everyone.  I also got to see my aunt that I haven't seen in awhile and it was so much fun! More updates coming soon!

Traveling!

As some of you may know, i'm actually going on a trip this week to visit some family. So I figured why not make a little mini series about it.  Now I'm leaving tomorrow so I'm hoping all of these posts will be today or tomorrow just because I feel like if I do them while I'm there or when I get back, its not the same ya know?  But anyway, this is kind of the "opening" to this little series! My posts will be about what I pack in my suitcase, travel makeup, and my carry on bag, what I put in that.
