Protecting Your Lips

One of the things that happens to everyone during the Fall and Winter is the awful chapped lips catastrophe. Some people think that if they chew the skin off of their lips and it goes really smooth that they are helping their lips. DO NOT DO THAT. When you peal the skin off of your lips, you are exposing the weaker skin to the sun and that causes more damage to your lips than the actual chapped skin itself.

Many brands of lip balm will say that they protect your lips, some that I have tried do, others don't. One of the products that I use every day, even in the Spring and Summer is the

Bliss Fabulips - I got my first thing of it this time last year and I have used it every day since I got it. It is a key in my everyday make up routine and I keep one in my purse. I love the smell and the way that it makes my lips feel really soft.

On those days that my lips are feeling really bad I use a normal Chapstick in the original formula because they work better than the ones that have the flavors or scents - at least from Chapstick. I also use a lip salve from Lush or Burt's Bee's. I however do not like the Burt's Bee's everyday lip balm. I find that it doesn't work as well as some of the others.

I haven't tried the EOS lip balm but I hear great things about it. I will probably pick one up next time I see one and try it and let you guys know how it compares to my Fablulips.

Fall Trends: Nail Polish

Hey Beauties!

One of the things that always makes me feel like I'm spot on with the trends is updating my nail polish. One of my favorite colors for Fall that I always go back to is We'll Always Have Paris by OPI. I know that everyone rants and raves about that color, but it is such an odd color with the contrast of my skin that it always looks like a new color to me.

Some of the other colors that I like are:

• Yodle Me On My Cell - OPI
• Rubble For Your Thoughts - OPI
• Live and Let Die - OPI
• Skyfall - OPI
• The Spy Who Loved Me - OPI
• Russian Navy - OPI

As we can all see, I like OPI a lot. It's not because others like it or anything, due to personal experience China Glaze and a few of the other brands flake off of my nails really quickly. If you have any suggestions on a different brand that you really like, let me know in the comments.

Update!

Hey Beauties!

I know that I have been gone for a while, but all is well and I am back now. I do not intend to leave you guys without posts for any longer. I meant to put up a post over the Summer just to let everyone know that I was about to start blogging again and then life got crazy all over again and I do not want to disappoint you guys, or promise something that I can't live up to.

I will be back to posting on Mondays again here shortly. Request things that you want to see, also I'm about to start posting on my beauty channel again. I know that I've been away from that for a while but I've already got a few things filmed and ready to be edited.




I'll be back next Monday!
Love Ya!

Jessica.

Style: Most Summer Staples Together

This is one style this summer that should be great and you should get many compliments on wearing it! First you put your shirt dress on as a base, it's going to start off plain and that's alright. Most of the shirt dresses that you find are going to be blue and white pin stripes. You are then going to begin layering the accents to it on. You will add on the fedora and the jewelry according to the color of the hat. If the hat is simply brown like the sandals you will add on, you can go for a pop of pink or any other bright color that you feel like adding.

Style: Shirt Dress

Shirt Dresses aren't going anywhere and I think that everyone needs to have at least one in their closet. It is a nice feminine thing that many women would look nice in. You can throw one on with a pair of cute sandals, a belt to bring the waist in - you could even add a pop of color with the belt if you think that your dress is too bland - and a nice tote.

Style: Fedora

Everyone always says that hats are over rated or cliche and they can be, if they are styled wrong. There are many ways that you can style them. Ashley Tisdale is one of the many celebs that you see walking around Hollywood sporting a fedora. You can dress them up or down.

Dress Up:
You can wear a fedora with a cute solid dress from somewhere like Abercrombie or Hollister, possibly Forever21. You're going to need to have a dress that it tight fitting around the bodice so that it looks more put together. Style it with a solid colored dress, some strappy sandals and your bold fedora.

Dress Down:
You can easily throw on a fedora on with a T-Shirt, a simple pair of flip flops, shorts and then your fedora.

Summer Staples

Alright ladies,

It's officially Summer and we all have things that we need to tie in all of our outfits. I know that some of my favorite things to have are Brown Thong Sandals, a Fedora, a Shirt Dress, a Bandeau Top, A pair of cute shorts and a Cross-Body Purse. In my later blog posts, I will tell you all how to style a different outfit with each one and then finally how to style them all together.
