    Updo & Curls Without A Curler.


    You need at least one night to complete this look.

    - Blow-dry your damp hair for about 5 minutes (use any products you need: hair-spray, frizz serum, curl enhancer, etc).
    - Put your hair into a ponytail, high or low.
    - Get some bobby-pins ready and grab small to medium sections.
    - Twist that section around and roll it into a spiral (with ends underneath) and upwards towards your head.
    - Pin it down! I had about 4-5 sections done.
    - Do the rest of your hair.  Add accessories, etc. Done!

    Mine is done a bit messy:



    At the end of the day, take the pins out and sleep on the hair.



    Then, carefully take your hair out of the ponytail...

    Voila! Waves and curlies!



    I can't curl my hair well so this is a good alternative for me.


    You  can also use fabric wraps to twist the hair around with  & pin down.

    How do I protect my nails from infection?

    I never got my nails done before so I may sound clueless. If you ask me what I got, I do not know. I just went with what the women said..

    I'm going to ask you, is this common/normal?

    Some of my nails bled. The nail  & cuticle was shaved down so much and my nails were clipped to like, nubs.  My friend got hers done too and they came out great. I'll post some pictures soon.  A part of my nail was clipped off to the point ... I can see where the pink is and the fake part. (I keep looking at it.. it's screaming welcome infection)


    I already put some medicine and bandaids over these areas...
    what else could I do to make sure I don't get infected nails?


     

    If these are how nails are done. I'll rather not....

    makeup: where to start?



    I didn't know where to begin when I first got into makeup. I've only touched drugstore brands and apparently, poor quality eye shadows, brushes, you name it! I remember walking into Sephora, Mac, any makeup department store.. to be overwhelmed by all of the products. At the end of the day, I went home with nothing. So considering I'm not loaded with cash, what products should you start out with then branch out?

    What brushes are a must need?
    Is there a brand/product that's quality doesn't match the $?

    Fill me in.

    Bras!

    I remember going into the mall and shopping for bras. They had the cutest ones in my size too.



    Lately, I can't find any cute bras in my size. Okay, don't give me that "the bigger the size, the less pretty it will be  since its designed to support..."  All of those bras are available in A, B & C only. Where is the love for D? :( A few years ago, I was able to find my size but now it's not available. I know I'm not the only teenage girl with Ds! My bras are from Walmart. It's the typical one color or kiddie puppy dogs/frogs/kitties (er no thanks). I want some in zebra, stripes and plaid bras dammit! I rarely ever buy any from Hot Topic. It's the only store I now that carries D.

    Why take away D and beyond? We want support and pretty bras for a good price too. I'm sorry but $40+ for a bra isn't my thing. I'm sure it's just another sign that thin is better. So it's assumed that if you are thin, you have A, B or C boobs. So lose a cup size to fit standards. Hmm no.

    Where do you shop for bras? Do you usually find your size?
