When I first heard of these life hacks, I was shocked at how well they worked so I wanted to share them with all of you...

1. If you want to pluck your eye brow do it right after you finished taking a shower. Your pours would be open by now and would be easier and pain free to pluck your eye brows then doing it normal.
2.  White eyeliner on your waterline will make your eyes look bigger when doing your makeup.
3. Frizzy Hair? Apply coconut oil 
4. If you shower with warm water make sure you finish off with cold water so your pours can close.
5. Don't have oil blotting sheets? Use a coffee filter. 
6. Coconut Oil can be used to remove makeup
7. Don't have time to touch up your gray roots? Use mascara 
8. Oily skin? Use an egg white mask to help
9. Just painted your nails and want them to dry fast? Dip your fingers in cold water for a few minutes, when you get your fingertips out your nails will be dry
10. Mascara drying out? Use a few drops of contact lens solution (but make sure it's not expired before you do this)
11. Need more space in your closet? create double clothes hangers with soda can tabs
12. Easter eggs can be used as a beauty blender storage
13. Tic tac boxes can be used as a bobby pin storage
14. Need to un wrinkle your clothes fast and don't have time to iron them out? Hang them in the bathroom while you shower. The steam will un wrinkle them.
15. Zipper on pants always going down? put a small key chain ring on the end of the zipper and zip it up and place key chain ring on pants button.
16. Vaseline will help perfume last longer. Apply a little bit of vaseline onto the pluse points before spraying on the perfume. 
17. Have a head ache? take a shower with warm water and put the back of your head under the warm water. The head ache should go away
18. Drink lots of water to keep your skin and system well hydrated. A well hydrated system can help combat acne
19.  Put clear nail polish on the inside of your rings if they give you green stains after you take them off
20. Don't have a contour brush?Use a blush brush and a bobby pin. Place the bobby pin horizontally in the blush brush and ta da you have a contour "fan" brush.
21. If you're cooking something & it sticks to the pan making it hard to wash. Don't scrub hard it will ruin your pans. Instead pour some water on it and set it on the stove again. Let it boil and it will unstick the food in your pan.

I was lucky enough to be chosen by Influenster to receive a free code for the bareMinerals Made 2 Fit virtual voxbox campaign. What is influenster you might ask???

Bareminerals has an app called Bareminerals Made 2 Fit. This app uses your phones camera to create the perfect foundation shade for you. 

Watch this video to see how it works:

A couple of weeks later (and a couple of problems with FedEx lol long story) I received my box. This is what it looked like.

REVIEW: I really loved this foundation. It was light and it didn't feel heavy on my face. You know how some foundations after you apply them your face feels "heavy" yeah not with this foundation it is so light that you forget you're wearing foundation. What I also liked about this is that it blends very easy. As you can see in the pictures above you can't even tell I applied foundation on my hand. Another plus of this foundation is that you don't have to go to the store and struggle with having to find the right shade. If you're like me and don't know that much about makeup then I would definitely recommend that you try the app to find the perfect shade for your skin.

The cons of the made 2 fit app is if you don't do it right you can end up with the wrong color for your foundation. Another negative about this is that it's kind of expensive. The bottle will cost you $50, but in my opinion is that it is totally worth it. It is better to spend a little more money for something that you know will work well then pay a little bit for something that isn't worth it AND girl THIS is definitely worth it.

Last week I was thinking about all the dumb things I used to think when I was a child. Looking back on all the things I thought as a child I laugh so much. Since, I laughed at all of these I thought I should share them with all of you guys so you can laugh with me and also leave some of the things you thought about in the comments below.


A list of dumb things I used to think of when I was a child:

========================================

 Vengaboys We're Going To Ibiza was "We're going to eat Pizza"

STORY: You know when you're so used to singing a song a certain way that when you look up the lyrics you're like "no no no this can't be correct" So one time when I was listening to the song I wanted to follow along with the lyrics so I looked them up and when I looked up the lyrics I was highly disappointed there was no pizza involved lol.

========================================

When they didn't put decimals on TV (example: 2000) I thought was $20.00

STORY: This was around the time when I was learning about money and decimals in school. I believe it was around 2nd or 3rd grade. The teacher would say that money would always have a decimal to separate the dollars from the cents. So, naturally when I would see a commercial on tv where it said "Buy this for 29 99" I would think "oh $29 and .99 cents." (hopefully I explained myself well)

========================================

Teachers lived at school

STORY: I think this idea of teachers lived at school came from a time when I was in 1st grade I saw my teacher had a huge suit case near her desk. I assumed that all her clothes were in there and she slept on her desk. That's why she was always in class on time. 

========================================

If you decorated Easter eggs the Easter bunny would come collect the eggs and leave you gifts

STORY: I have no idea why I even thought this. I think this idea branched out from Santa Claus; you know how you leave cookies and milk for Santa and he left you gifts? well I probably thought the same concept applied to the Easter bunny.

========================================

I thought if you put an egg (from the fridge) under a warm light it would hatch into a baby chicken

STORY: I think this idea came from me watching too much tv. I probably saw children on tv do this (but you know with a egg from a hen) I assumed so eggs come from hens... We have eggs in the fridge... so if I get an egg and put it under a warm light I might get chickens too.

========================================

Santa Claus

STORY: we all belived in Santa in one point in our lives. If you want to read when I found the truth about Santa you can click here

========================================

Easter bunny

STORY: I don't know why I believed in the Easter bunny. I definitely know when I stopped lol. It was when I saw he didn't take my decorated eggs and left me any gifts. 

========================================

The old man from the Six Flags commercial was a real old man.

STORY: I'm sure you've all seen what commercial I'm talking about. The one where the old man is dancing and riding the roller coasters at Six Flags. I thought he was a real old man and I was always so concerned that he was going to hurt himself because he would dance so roughly 

========================================

I'm sure that the list is probably endless, but these are the ones that stand out in my head at the moment.

Sensitive teeth can get in the way of you enjoying things like ice cream, iced coffee or even a cup of hot tea. Well, say good bye to sensitive teeth with Sensodyne Rapid Relief toothpaste. Thanks to Bzzagent and Sensodyne for sending me a complimentary sample of toothpaste. Before I start my official review I want to state that even though I received this product for free all the opinions are my own.

Let me tell you something about this toothpaste. It is a life saver! Before this toothpaste, whenever I had something cold my teeth hurt so had. I thought I would never have things like ice cream ever again. Now, using this toothpaste and brushing twice daily for three days my teeth are noticing a complete difference. They no longer hurt like they used to when I had cold things. Also, this toothpaste leaves my mouth feeling extra fresh. 

Watch this video to see how/why Sensodyne Rapid Relief toothpaste works for your sensitive teeth

 

I highly recommend this toothpaste to people that suffer from sensitive teeth and want to enjoy hot/cold food and or beverages like they used to.  It works and you wont regret trying it. 

You can buy it at your local Walmart, Target or Sensodyne's website here

Thanks to influenster I was lucky enough to get picked to receive a voxbox to test out products they send me for free in exchange for my honest reviews. What is influenster you might ask???

This time influenster sent me the L'oréal Paris voxbox. Here's what was inside:

What I got for FREE in the influenster Loreal Paris to test out in exchange for my review is the following...

• RevitaLift Cica Cream (New) 

REVIEW OF THE PRODUCT:

REVIEW: Loreal Paris Revita Lift Cica Cream (MSRP: $17.99)

I am absolutely in love with this product. On the second week of using it I was already noticing a big difference in my skin. I noticed that my skin was feeling softer and more hydrated then it was before. Before my skin felt dry and "dead" now my face feels softer and well less "dead." As for the other the other benefits of this cica cream, I have not noticed because I'm 26 and lucky enough I don't have wrinkles just yet. If you're my age I highly recommend buying and using products that fight wrinkles and resist signs of aging.

The reason for this is because you're skin is slowly aging and it is best to use these products now so you don't have to deal with so much when you're older.

This is the list of ingredients in this cica cream

Here's how to use this cica cream and the benefits

What is "Centella Asiatica?"

In conclusion, I am definitely going to continue using this product even after I finish this complimentary one I was sent by Influenster and Loreal Paris to try out in exchange for my honest review. My skin feels so much softer and the other benefits of this cream will help my skin in the long run. I recommend that you give this cica cream a try and see for yourself how well this product works. You can purchase Loreal Paris' Cica Cream here or in your local walmart, target or walgreens.
