Just like the quote says... if people try to knock you down, it only means that you are above them. So don't let them bring you down! You are placed up there for a reason.
Don't go knocking people down. Strive to be just as good as them.
This is a nice way to look at life. Don't try to find yourself... BE the person you want to be, MAKE things better for yourself, and CREATE a life that you want to live. People can tell you who you are supposed to be... but it honestly isn't up to them. Create your own life and create the person you most want to be.
If you don't care what others think, you'll be much better off in life. You'll be happier, stronger, and wiser. I promise. Just stand tall and brave.
Clear nail polish isn't JUST for nails anymore! I've done
some research and I came up with some interesting and helpful information. Not
only can you make your nails have a pretty and glossy sheen, but you can make jewelry
last longer, protect the ends of your shoe laces, and make the tops of your keys
sparkly!
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri FAST DRY NAIL COLOR
•How to make jewelry
last longer: I would suggest doing this to some of your rings that tend to
tarnish or change color. Exposure to water is one of the reasons why rings and
necklaces do that. And don't you hate how some of those inexpensive rings
change your finger green or yellow? Well, take those rings that change the
color of your finger, and paint a coating of clear nail polish around it. The
will help protect it from water as well. Just remember to re-apply it every
once in a great while because it can start to wear away.
•Make almost anything
glittery: A while ago, I saw a tutorial on how to make the top of a key sparkly!
I loved the idea. Paint glue on the key, add glitter, and then paint with a few
coats of nail polish. Just like that! Think of all the possibilities....
glittery phone and iPod cases, glittery homemade jewelry, switch plates, rims
of eye glasses, headbands and so much more!
•Prevent unraveling
shoelaces: Did the end of the of lace into the polish and let it dry! It’s
waterproof and very resistant.
•Repairs: If you
really want a screw or nail to stay, add a dab of nail polish before you put it
in... That always works! Works well when you're fixing glasses screws as well.
Also, if you have a small, minor chip in your wood flooring, then you can paint
over it to avoid water or any fluids from seeping in. If you have a rip in a
window shade or screen, paint on some polish to stop it from getting any
bigger. If you have a crack in your windshield and are worried it might starts
getting bigger, put nail polish over the crack until you can go get it fixed.
•Sealing envelopes:
I'm pretty sure most people hate the taste of sealing an envelope. Instead, put
a few dabs of polish to keep it glued!
There are actually even more things that clear nail polish can
do like threading string through small needles, securing buttons, and avoiding
rust stains. Hope everyone has fun using these tips!
Quite possibly the
most poetic, gorgeous song I've heard in a long while. Seriously listen to
these two. Their voices blend beautifully and perfectly. I've memorized every
word, and have listened to many of their other songs, including Barton Hallow. Definitely
give this song a chance!
Never, ever give up. If people tell you that you can't do something, don't believe them. Try as hard as you can each and every day. You are able to do what you want to be capable of. Not what others want you to be capable of.
If you're wondering what to do with your hair this summer, here is some links, tips, and pictures to help you all figure out your summer hair styles!
Braids
As you probably know, braids are really in style right now. You've got everything from the normal, simple braid, all the way to the water fall braid. Hopefully here is some good pictures and links:
Fishtail Braid:
A quick How-to video that I thought explained it fairly simply!
Loosen it up to give it a messier look!
Waterfall braid:
I have never done this braid so hopefully this works for you! It looks like a very pretty tutorial! But my tip is you learn how to french braid! :)
Curl your hair after you've done the braid.
Other braids:
English Braid (just your simple, everyday braid!!)
French Braid
Dutch Braid
Rope Braid (I personally like this one cuz its fast)
Buns
For those who live in the horrible, sticky heat, I suggest buns! They're cute and out of the way for a fresh, cool look.
The Messy Bun
As you can see in the picture, the hair is slopily tied up in a loose bun on top of the head. Most of the time, people tease their hair to make it have more volume, and then top off the look with a cute headband or head scarf.
The Ballerina Bun
Click this link for awesome tips and how-tos for ballerina buns! I love it!
Beach hair is practically anything from wringlets to buns to pony tails. The most popular version of Beah Hair though, is (of course) beach waves. There are soo many ways to do this... like putting your hair in a bun over night, or a braid over night. But this is my favorite:
Beach waves
I don't think most people need a video tutorial for this. So, here are some tips and the way I make my hair have beachy-looking waves
Dry your hair completely with a blow dryer, giving it some fullness
Take a spray bottle with water in it, and just slightly dampen your hair all the way through
Take some mousse and rub it through your hair
Scrunch your hair
As you scrunch, you can add some hair spray, so it will keep the beachy look
Okay everyone, hope this helped you. Comment if you have any questions or suggestions!
How to dye your hair with Kool-aid? Yeah that’s right. The
best thing about it is that it’s not permanent! Lasts for about two weeks.All you need is two or more packets of your
color choice, a small bowl or two (depending on how many colors you're planning
on doing), water, and some of your everyday conditioner! This is super simple.
BUT let me just say that this works very well with blondes. Sort of hard to do on
dark hair. Try bleaching it if you have dark hair (I know bleaching isn't quite
non-permanent, I'm sorry all you dark brunettes :(....)
What you'll need:
good-sized paint brush (for streaks of color)
2 or more packets of unsweetened
Kool-Aid (more if you're doing many streaks or your whole hair)
small bowls for each
color
conditioner
plastic wrap and/or
tin foil (plastic wrap is more comfy to sleep on. I know from experience...)
disposable plastic gloves
Warnings:
This stains pretty
much everything from clothing to skin to white counter tops. put down some newspaper!
The dryer and more
brittle hair will keep in the color the longest
Sometimes, the red
Kool-Aid can be permanent (from what I’ve heard online)
Can last longer than
two weeks (as did mine)
THE STEPS:
(Update: If you have blonde hair, add some orange streaks to the second layer of hair. I've done it and it looks really pretty and cool!)
STEP ONE: (If you are dying your whole head, I suggest about
five packets, although you might need more or less considering whether or not
you have long or short hair. For a streak, I’d say two or three packets would
be just perfect!) Put the powder into a smallish bowl.
STEP TWO: Put a few drops of water in - NOT TOO MUCH. I
can't stress this enough. You don't want your dye to be watery! Just make it a
bit pasty.
STEP THREE: Add about a palm size amount of conditioner or
more if you feel the need. (if you’re doing your whole head, you should do
more.) Mix everything with a paint brush.
STEP FOUR: If you're doing a streak, take a piece of hair,
paint your Kool-Aid paste onto the strand. Be VERY careful not to get it on any
other hair that you don't want colored (if this happens, wash your hair immediately).
To dye your whole head, massage the color into your hair (be careful of getting
it on your skin because this STAINS)
STEP FIVE: Wrap the wet, Kool-Aided strand of hair in
plastic wrap or tin foil. If you're doing all of your hair, wrap your whole
head/hair tightly in plastic wrap, making sure nothing is leaking. Sleep on it!
If I were you, sleep on an old pillow with an old pillow case on, just in case
some of the dye seeps out.
WAKE UP: Take the tinfoil and plastic wrap out of your head
and take a shower. For the first wash, don't shampoo or condition.
Enjoy your newly Kool-aid dyed hair :) Tell me how it works
out! Here's a color chart for Kool-Aid:
We DARE you to go out and buy a floor length beach-y dress for this summer! They are so graceful and beautiful looking - not to mention flattering - especially some of the strapless and halter top ones. They're great for a day out and strolling alongside the waves at the beach. Just look at some of these... maybe they'll give you some inspiration! :)
Hey everyone! Here are some cute ideas for nails. Comment if any of you have ever tried one of these, or if you ever will! They look difficult, but im sure with Sally Hansen's nail art pens, you could do it just fine. More to come :)
When you and your best friend are in your very first fight, everyone knows its difficult to deal with but you can't break down.
