hey guys! so my winterball is coming up and im sure youre winter formals are too (: here are some tips(:
 
-chooose winter colors for your dress
-blues, purples, black, dark green, violet
-try and stay away from all black dresses
-everyone usually wears black and it doesnt give you much to accent like for corsages
-if you have a small bust choose a strapless dress with designs
-if you have a large bust, choose a dress with a strap or sleeve
-this way you will be more supported
-if wearing a strapless dress make sure it is tight, you dont want to be uncomfortable and pulling it up all night
-choose a short dress, either fitted or one that is puffy(:
-fitted dresses show off your curves, and you will most likely need a thong.. no panty lines!
-find shoes that either have a pop of color with your dress or black, try to stay away from white in the winter
-if you are shorter than your date find heels that dont make you taller than your date(: and if you are the same height or taller than your date, find some fancy flats(:
 
this was a little short but i hoped it helped!

hey hey hey ! ewww its back to school time... well here are some tips for when you are back to school shopping(:
-go with friends! get feedback on outfits you try on so you can know how other people see you in the clothes
-eat before you go so you arent hungry and crankyy
-give yourself only about 3 hours to go shop. you will get a lot more done when you know you only have so much time(;
-try on everythinggg dont just assume itll fit
-get different sizes. if you are a small bring a medium to try on too just incase. that way you dont have to go back out and search for it again if it doesnt fit
-take pictures of yourself in the clothes and send them to your parents to make sure they are approved(:
-dont worry about the size on the tag! just get what fits(:
-wear comfy clothing! wear a tee shirt and jeans. that way you can tell what the outfit will look like with jeans. also wear a tan racerback bra if you have one and a white cami, that way you can see how different tops really look if they need camis under or if they are tank tops with racerbacks.
 
hope this helps!

heey Brittany here, so since this account is about helping all of youu, i want to make sure that i am making sets and tips that will really help you guys and are tips you want and need (: so please comment or PM me and Ashley if you guys have any requests on certain tips you would like us to do and one of us will get to it ASAP(:
Thank youu ♥

hey girlies so i decided to make this tip because this is a problem i have been having lately.. i have blonde hair that always seems to get oily when i dont wash it but i dont want to wash it too often because it takes out ur hair's natural oils and can damage it.. soo here are some tips on how to stop it (:
 
1. Dry Shampoo
This stuff is ahmayyzinggg you just spray it on your hair at the roots, wait a couple of minutes, and then brush your hair and viola! your hair is no longer oily (:
 
2. Lighten up on the conditioner
When you do wash your hair, try not to use tooo much conditioner.. start to put the conditioner in about 3/4 down your hair and focus on the ends. you can put some at the top too but adding too much will make your roots oily faster.
 
3. Try not to touch your hair
This one is hard for me because i always run my hand through my hair, but your hands have lots of oil on them and touching your hair or part too much will put all that oil in them.
 
*if after trying all of these your hair is still oily, you can always put it up in a pony tail and the oil will no longer be visible (:

heey. here are some tips on how to get a great tan withoutt going to a tanning salon
 
-wear a bandeau bathing suit. the straps on the other kinds of bathing suits will give u odd tan lines when you wear tank tops.
-if you are tanning alone, undo the back of your bathing suit so you dont get a tan line back there and can wear shirts that show off your sexy, tan back (:
-apply spf 30 or 50 lotion. this way you will still be able to tan while protecting your skin. unless you tend to burn easy and/or have very light skin then use a higher spf to protect your skin.
-take breaks. go back inside or go swimming and then go back to tanning. give your skin a break and then you can cool off a little bit too.
-bring something to do while you tan. bring your ipod, a magazine, or a book so you can keep urself entertained(:
-tan equally on your front and back. time about half an hour on each side and then flip!
-keep your hair up and out of the way so it doesnt block your back when you tan.
-try not to wear sun glasses.. they will give u an awful tan!
-dont wear makeup while tanning, this way u can just put sunscreen on your face and be able to wipe off sweat and apply more easily
-do not skip putting sunscreen on your face!! if you get burned you will peel like no tomorrow and it is nawt hawt...
-if you do happen to get burned apply Aloe lotion or another moisturizing lotion to prevent peeling and help cool off and cure ur skin.
 
I hope these tips help and you all get gorgeous tans for summer(:

Okay so it was requested on how to get waves like Victoria Justice's, so i found out some ways to do it yourself and get her gorgeous waves(: Some of these methods will probably work better for you than others depending on your hair type.
 
Method 1. After you shower, put your hair in a pony tail while it is still wet. The twist your pony tail and wrap it in a circle around your pony tail holder, and tuck in the ends to make it stay. When your hair is dry, take it out of the bun and you should have waves(: Also you can sleep on it to try and get more defined waves.
 
Method 2. Put your hair into two braids or one large one after you shower and take them out when they dry for pretty soft waves(:
 
Method 3. Use a tripple barrel curler and curl your hair for the loose curls/wavy look.
 
Method 4. After you shower, and your hair is still wet, pull your hair onto one side and divide it into two sections. Twist the sections backwards and then twist them together forwards. Put a hair tie at the end and then sleep on them and when they are hopefully dry in the morning, take them out for waves. I would have to say that this method has seemed to work for me best. (:
 
Hope these work!

Hey girlies,so if you are like me, you dont really loove your natural hair and tend to straighten or curl it everyday, even though you know its terrible for your hair..haha well here are some cute hair styles for summer that do not require heat so you can stop damging your hair(: the pictures are numbered so i can describe them easier(:
 
1. French Braid Into A Bun
This is probably one of the hardest hair styles on here because french braiding is not always easy to do. But to do this you have to french braid the top on your hair and then take the tails that arent braided, and the rest of your hair and gather it into a pony tail, and then tuck the tails of the pony tail into your hair tie and fluff the hair so it is a messy bun.
 
2. Braided Bangs
This one is fairly easy to do. First take your bangs or if you dont have bangs then take about an inch to an inch and a half of hair closest to your face and braid that piece. Then pull it back so it has a little swoop and bobby pin it in the back of your head or on the side if your hair is shorter. Also this style works by simply twisting the piece of hair and then bobby pinning it back(:
 
3. Side Braid
Side part your hair and braid it onto the side that has more hair. Done(:
 
4. Fishtail
Side part your hair and fishtail it onto the side that has more hair. (To fishtail, pull your hair onto on side and separate hair into two sections. Then take about a half an inch piece of hair, or smaller for better results, on the outside of one section and cross it over to the inside of the other section. Repeat with the other side, keep it tight, and go back and forth until all hair is fishtailed.)
 
5. Headband
Find a boho headband with flowers or a cute design and just simply it on and let the rest of your hair go naturally(:
 
6. Ponytail
A simple ponytail is often cute and sexy(: Just pull all your hair up and add a cute hair tie or bow. Also you can do side or low ponytails to spice them up(:
 
I hope these work out for you guys so you can give your hair a break from heat ! (:

I know those fun summer activities can be pricey sometimes so it's better to just stay in with your friends! It's just as fun and helps your wallet!
 
1: MAKEOVERS. This seems simple but it can be really fun! Try doing it blindfolded! Or after your finished have a photoshoot!
 
2: MANICURES/PEDICURES. Have everyone bring a couple nail polishes to make the selection to choose from larger. Or have one person spin a bottle of nail polish and whoever it lands on has
to paint a nail that color. In the end everhyone should have each finger a different color.
 
3: CLOTHING SWAP. Have all your friends bring their clothes/accessories/shoes (gently used) that they don't want anymore put them all in a pile. Take turns picking clothes you like from the pile. By the end of the night everyone will have a couple new outfits!
 
4: MOVIES. It's that simple here is a list of some classic chick flicks that would be good to watch.
-MEAN GIRLS
-The Titanic
-The Last Song
-The Notebook
-Dear John
-She's The Man
-The Devil Wears Prada
-He's Just Not That Into You
-Legally Blonde
-The Princess Diaries
-Remember Me
-Pretty Women
-Brides Maids
 
5: JAM SESSION. Make a playlist combining everyone's favorite songs and have a dance party!
 
6: EAT. It's a sleepover! One day of missing your diet won't hurt! Have popcorn, soda, ice cream, pizza, etc. (whatever you and your friends like).
 
7: FRIENDSHIP BRACELETS. Buy some colorful string and make each other cute arm candy!
 
8: COLOR. It seems like a boring thing to do but when you're with friends it can be really fun!
 
9: GAMES. Play truth or dare, would you rather, and I've never.
 
Hope you have fun trying some of these! xo Ashley

Brittany here, so i found out about this on youtube and its a really easy way to fade acne scars!
 
-Get a lemon and cut it into quarters (if you dont have a lemon, use lemon juice that comes in those cute little bottles that look like lemons and pour some on a cotton ball)
-Wash your face so there is no make up and it is all fresh
-Rub a quarter of the lemon all over your face, or cotton ball with lemon juice (i would do about two quarters every other day)
-Try not to wipe it off, but if some of the pulpy stuff gets on your face then take a napkin and gently wipe it off.
-Your face will probably sting a little, but this just means that it is working! It will also probably feel a little sticky after, but after it drys it wont.
-Also, i reccommend washing your face with water after it dries if you are going to put make up back on. However, this is usually best if you do it at night so you can let it really soak in.
 
The acid in the lemon should lighten the scars and give you beautiful skin(: Don't over do it tho, i would do it every other day. Hope this helps!
