Hair Routine! How to get curly/bouncy hair! (for straight/wavy hair)

Hey guys! So today I was on twitter (my username is Loveforlife176 http://twitter.com/#!/Loveforlife176) and I was thinking about my new favorite guru on YouTube MacBarbie07, Bethany, and how she does her hair care routine so you can get hair like hers, so i thought why not? Now my hair is fine, and wavy, naturally. Now the way I like it looks like my Facebook picture over there. ---> 
Here are some handy hair tips:

• I don't really think that shampoo and conditioner matters, you should just use what you want like if you have problems with volumizing,or if you have poofy frizzy hair get rid of frizz, just whatever you need  
• Never use more than a QUARTER size of shampoo and conditioner because it could weigh your hair down and make it all gunky and gross, and no one wants that. 
• If you don't air dry your hair then I would say use a defuser with your hair-blow dryer then it separates the curls better and makes it more real than frizzy. They sell defuser's at lots of places so just google it and you'll be done! So on to products:

The first thing I use is the Aquage Sea Salt Texturizing Spray
 (sold at most drug stores and hair salons at least $10)this is like a mist that you spray directly into your hair, and I am not joking this is the best thing ever it works so well if you want nice beachy waves. So to put this product in your hair turn your head to the left so all your hair is on the same side then I spray it and shake it out with my fingers in my hair and then repeat one more time.
I love this next one because I got it so cheap at Target for more volume and body and this is how you get the bouncy waves, by using 24 Hour Body it's a mousse and you put about a golf ball sized amount in your hands and rub them together and make sure to get some product in your roots and scrunch it all into your hair. This works really well it's sold at the most $4.50 at drug stores like Target and Walmart.
 The last product I use is the Herbal Essence Tousle Me Softly Moose and it makes gorgeous soft looking waves that I just love, but if you want to attain a beachy look don't put very much in do the same thing you did with the others.
If you have problems with volume put your hair up in a really high bun and keep it up for at least an hour and a half but if you don't just leave it down and let it dry! IMPORTANT: I know this sounds like a ton of work but it really isn't it it takes less than 5 minutes out of your day.  Love you guys thanks so much for reading! xoxoxo 

Emily from PLL!

I love Emily, she's spunky, sweet, and quiet. At times you think you know her and something else comes up! She is so different and not afraid to be herself! ( I swear to god how many times have I said spunky in my blog?) So Emily has a comfortable kind of look on Pretty Little Liars and she is the sporty one so I have found an outfit I want to show you guys without any help :)

Light Acid Wash Romper:
 This great romper is perfect for and 80's look, this also sort of resembles Aria, and I could see her wearing this with some tribal necklaces and big boots but for Emily I'm going to keep it simple and add a tee shirt.http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=jumpsuit%5Fromper&product%5Fid=2071288764&variant_id=02&Page=all&promoType=1
Think Happy Top:
Emily is always the happy peppy girl, well most times, trying to find the positive things about their situation, so I thought this would be perfect for her personality.

Madden Girl Tandum Shoe:
 These are on sale so snatch them up quick at Buckle! They are cute, a little splash of girly, just like Emily and they are $15.80! I know that doesn't seem like a very good deal but compare that to $54.80! Much better, right?

Aerie Branch Bell Necklace:
 I felt this outfit needed a little push to the finish line and I think this necklace is it! http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat4570002&productId=prod930171

Fashion Haul!! (Forever 21 and Francesca's!)

Hey guys! Last Sunday I went shopping with my mom and I got some new AWESOME clothes and I love them so much! I can't wait to show you guys what I got and maybe you guys could get them too!
 TOPS:

1) Aztec Border Knit Top ( $22.80, Forever 21)
I love love love this top because it is so cozy and I love that it is cropped in the front, I got a ton of compliments when I wore it I think everyone liked it because it is so different from what everyone else wears!
(http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=top&product%5Fid=2000000637&Page=3&pgcount=100&size=large&sort=hp)
 2) Floral Sub Top ($13.80, Forever 21)
This top is really soft and flowy and I love the way the flowers are scattered and different. I also love that it is kinda a crop top! Sorry I'm like almost obsessed with crop tops! It works perfectly for spring too.
(http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=top&product%5Fid=2058636022&Page=7&pgcount=100&size=large&sort=lp)




PANTS:
Linen-Blend Short w/Striped Belt ($14.80, Forever 21)
 I really loved these because they went super well with anything they went well with both of the other tops I got from Forever 21 and they were so cute, I love the nautical theme with the belt that is sort of what it reminds me off! Since it is that awful time of winter when you just need a break and you can't wait for it to be over these cheered me up and I'm sure they will do the same for you.

DRESSES:
Tea Party Tank Dress ($44.00, Francesca's)

 This is the dress!

I could NOT find it online so I would suggest going to there store to find it. I love it so much it is pretty 

and flattering and I love the design and the cute lace and I know it is a little on the expensive side but I gotta go outside the box every once in a while! Here is the link to the Francesca's website so you can

find a store near you! :)

Aria Montgomery from Pretty Little Liars!

I love Aria from Pretty Little Liars, she is so spunky! Sorry for the weird 70's lingo I didn't know what else to put. Ok so I am gonna put up 4 outfits inspired by her, within this week, maybe even today! So now you can find all these things easily and that you can buy fairly cheap!

1) So this is her daily look kinda comfy something you could wear on a regular basis, a faux leather moto jacket from Charolette Russe,  http://www.charlotterusse.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11218125&cp=4078198.4238855 ,
a cute soft tank from Aerie  because Aria is into darker colors and warmer tones so I thought this would work well for her! And I think she would wear this with that jacket and shirt, so trust me if you try them on together you will love the result!
http://www.ae.com/aerie/browse/product.jsp?catId=cat520025&productId=4495_4719


Some vertical netted tights if you want something that pops more get the black instead of gray.http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=acc%5Flegwear&product%5Fid=2083476942&Page=all&pgcount=25#

Now on to the bottoms. I was kind of stuck on what to do. I thought she loves skirts and jeans. So i didn't know what to do. But since I have to tights I went with this skirt.I love this skirt because it's very patterned and matches the blue top and brown faux leather jacket it definitely has that edgy look that Aria wears daily and it works!
http://www.wetseal.com/catalog/product.jsp?categoryId=102&productId=43579&color=MULTI%20COLORED
Shoes are the hard part, most nice, decent shoes are more than $30, these are $30.80 just hardly over $30 and I think they are perfect I didn't want anything to tall or too short because it could have totally ruined the whole outfit. http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=footwr&footwr%5Fstyle=&footwr%5Fsize=&footwr%5Fcolor=&footwr%5Fprice=&product%5Fid=2083874004&Page=all
I hope you like my first Aria outfit! Other tips for Aria style, don't go to edgy add some florals and girly things like that, go with like ripped things too don't go to girly just a happy medium! Thanks for reading the next Aria outfit will come soon!!  xoxoxo G

Pretty Little Liars!

Is anyone a fan of that show? I just can't get away from that show it's amazing, it has pulled me in and there is no escaping! So i wanted to talk about their fashion on pretty little liars. I really love their clothes they are so cute, and I have found some real-life clothes that we can actually afford! Ok so this first outfit is based off of Spencer Hastings outfit, she is the goody-two shoes in the show the good preppy girl, or at least that's what we think. She is very vintage, and adorable. Now her jacket is a military/peacoat, it's probably 100's of dollars but the one I'm gonna show you affordable  I think it resembles her jacket very well, and is perfect, a subtle hint of military chic and perfect for this cold weather we are having! (FOREVER 21, $44.80)

Now these are skinny boyfriend jeans, not the exact same as Spencer's but you can just get a bigger size is you are in love with the more loose look,  these are actually and ok fit, don't ya think? ( HERITAGE1981 $24.90) Now on to the oxfords, those are hard to find, under $100 at least, I like these better than spencers and I could not find anything remotley close to hers' under $400. So I have chosen something even better Canvas Striped Oxfords, they are super cool! I love them, I would so get some :) If i had the clothes to match.  (Forever 21.com $22.80 Canvas Striped Oxfords) That's Spencer's outfit! Check back later in the week for Emily outfits, Hanna, and Aria! :) PS: I'm sorry I couldn't find the hat! I was just desperate to post this, but I will still look out for one just like that! :)

Happy Morning!

New Store Alert!!!

I didn't know- but I found out my state DOES have a Charlotte Russe! Last night we went to the mall to get my dad gloves for Christmas, and my mom and I decided that we were going to go to Charlotte Russe! I loved it, all the stuff was too cute, and it was decorated for Christmas so well, they had a ton of shoes and accessories, and practically everything was on sale! It was awesome. Next Thursday I am going to the mall with my best friend and her cousin, so I can't wait. Plus my Aunt sent me my $100! Thanks Susie!! Now I can't wait to spend it all in that store! Yes! Merry one week before christmas!

Well, I got my wish!!

Well it has officially snowed!! I am so psyched :) We got 3 inches and some blizzardy conditions. Sadly, not enough to cancel school for today. But, I am getting some more winter clothes soon since my Aunt is sending me $100 for Christmas this week! For some reason I'm always low on cute winter clothes.  I love shopping at Aerie, and my mom's boyfriend is getting me a $100 gift card there. Or maybe $50. The stuff there isn't on the cheap side so I hope it's $100. I gotta look cute for the guys at school! Enjoy this wintery wonderful week!

Only if it would snow..

I have been waiting..and waiting..and waiting for snow since October, patiently I might add, and winter is one of my favorite times of year, I especially love the holidays. So it's quite upsetting to me when we don't have snow sticking on the ground in December. Snow is just so beautiful. So I bet your asking, what the heck does this have to do with your blog? Well to tell you the truth I really don't know. I felt like I wanted to bring it up. OH YA! I know, I wanted to bring up some really yummy warm low cal drinks I have come across lately. Now, also, before I forget, my friend has suddenly had a very strong int rest in coffee, so this is also why I'm bringing this up now, maybe you like it too? Even though I detest  it, which by the way in french is detester! :) I'm taking french this year he he ok back to warm yummy drinks! Oh and, again, by the way the list will have higher and higher calories as it goes, ok enjoy!!


1. Gingerbread Latte- Starbucks 
 This closely resembles those delicious gingerbread cookies I love, or we all love. And it ( the small, 8 oz) is only 150 calories, and with Whole Milk it's only 40 calories more! Now, you really don't need to get the big one do you? No of course not. 




2.Reindeer Drinks- Caribou Coffee


Now this is the company's description of it- "Our Reindeer Drink is creamy steamed milk infused with caramel, vanilla, raspberry, or any flavor you choose." Doesn't that sound pretty dang delicious to you? Well, sadly they don't have a picture of it so I have found one on trusty google! You know what, I found out trusty google isn't all that helpful sometimes, so heres a caribou! Oh right, and I forgot to mention this is 240 calories, check it out!

3. Mint Condition- Caribou
Sorry this is another Caribou Coffee!! But this one is minty and hot and delicious, but a surprising 640 calories! WOAH! But to tell you the truth it looks amazing! and, it has ANDES MINTS! my fav ;) I freakin. love.those.things. :) they are so good. YUM!

Stay warm this winter i''ll be back with more wintery post's!

My fashion inspiration

Ya know, some celebrity's go to far with fashion *cough cough* Lady Gaga. But I really do admire her clothes how out there she is, but that is another topic far into the future- like next week. But who's closet I really wish I had, is Taylor Swifts, how soft, pretty, and floraly her clothes are is awesome :) i could just easily steal all of her clothes! I especially love this dress. It reminds me of a birthday cake I had :) It was an awesome cake it was light pink and had cherry trees on it. She looks so sweet and approachable. What celebrity inspires your fashion? I also love Jennifer Aniston's fashion sense she is so chic yet comfy, it's awesome! You know she's forty one, and they had her picture, in Seventeen! I would love to inherit this look when I'm her age! Thanks for reading!
