You should really use professional hair scissors but I don't have any so I just use these small stainless steel ones. I got my thinning scissors from this asian market called Daiso. It was really cheap too like 2$!! I hope you like my videos :)

DIY: How to Make a Bow

2010-04-02T22:29:00.000-07:00

I hope this wasn't too confusing. Let me try to explain with words in detail:

1) The height & width of the beginning rectangle should be double the measurements you want your bow to be.
Ex. If you want your bow to be 8 cm wide then have the rectangle be 16 cm wide

2) Fold the rectangle longest sides together (taco, if you're familiar with it). The right or pattern sides should be touching and sew the along the longest length

3) Turn inside out and now fold width wise and sew the widths together (hamburger)

4) Turn inside out and now the all of the right pattern sides should be exposed.

5) Put this aside for now and make a very small ring sized version of this.

6) Pull the big band through the ring one. and Tah-Dah! You should have a nifty bow.

Now, what to do with this? Well you could sew it on to something. Attach a bobby pin and put in in your hair. Slide it through a thing head band. Make it into a necklace. Or a simple brooch with a bobby pin. :)

My Skin Care Routine

2010-04-02T20:41:00.000-07:00

I lovee skin care products and I'm not afraid to try things out or use too many on my face. I found that these products work for me so check it out!

Morning:

Johnson&Johnson Baby Bubble Bath & Wash
I am in need of a real morning wash but I found that this works wonders!!
I also use my Philosophy Purity in the morning sometimes when I don't feel like using this.

Night:

Philosophy Purity Cleanser
This is such a good face wash and make up remover. However it seems to gentle for me. I have the small bottle which has lasted me almost 5 months. If I had the extra cash might buy this again, but I am keeping my eye out for a replacement!

St. Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub Blemish & Blackhead Control
I like to exfoliate every other day when my skin is bad. This is very abrasive but I feel like my skin can handle it. I don't recommend exfoliating a lot if you know your skin can't take it.

Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
I use this when my skin is really breaking out and is a great spot treatment.

Olay Complete Combination/Oily
It's a MUST to moisturize! I like this mainly for the price, but it is a nice formula and the one I own now is my second bottle

When I don't moisturize I do my Vitamin E treatment for my acne scars

When using any of these products you only need a LITTLE amount.
My skin is nowhere near perfect and it still has a long way to go to where I want it to be. I hope this helped someone! Thanks for reading :)

Got Scars?

2010-01-10T19:36:00.001-08:00

Vitamin E can help!!! I have mild acne but a LOT of scars from over the years. And I finnaly took some action about it!

My HORRIBLE skin

This is the vitamin E I am using:

Be sure to CLEAN THE NEEDLE. You don't want to risk an infection!

You can also just eat the vitamin e pills about 2 per day! I recomend doing this especially after you exfoliate your face and just apply it at night and rise in it off in the morning. Don't rinse off with a cleanser or soap, just warm water. Please don't exfoliate everyday, your skin won't like it too much. But you sure can do this!!

Vitamin E has MANY benifits on the skin:
Sun Protection and Sun Burn Treatment
Treatment of Scars
prevention of skin cancer
vitamin e products help reduce the appearance of stretch marks
vitamin e can help prevent the appearance of age spots
it helps maintain the skin’s oil balance during the cleansing process
it reduces transepidermal water loss from skin and strengthens the skin’s barrier function

Sources of Vitamin E:
Wheat germ
Vegetable oil and margarine
Avocado
Whole grain products
Egg yolk
Nuts
Liver
Peanut butter
