DIY Winter Time Mask for ANY skin type!

Hey guys!
This mask is great for any skin type! Mine varies throughout the year according to the season, and like many people, my skin gets SUPER dry and flaky in the winter. My lips take a beating too! Anyway, this mask is for your face. It’s super simple and all these ingredients are at your fingertips! No need for any special potions.
The video:
DIY winter mask!

1.Cut up half a banana and mash it up
2. Add 1 teaspoon of milk, ¾ teaspoon honey, ¾ teaspoon olive oil
** Add more or less olive oil depending on how oily or dry your skin gets. if my skin is feeling extra dry, then I ass more olive oil, if your skin gets oily, you can cut down to ½ or even ¼ teaspoon of olive oil
3. Mix everything together
4. Apply this mask to your face (**Do this over a SINK) and let it sit for 20 minutes. (yes, it feels EXTREMELY nasty, but it works WONDERS.)
5. Wash it off and moisturize well!!! That’s it! I would do this no more than 3 times a week at the most, or maybe 3 times every 4 weeks for someone with oily skin. It all depends on your skin type.

Hope you guys liked this mask! I know what it feels like to have dry skin!  (not fun.)

New Year's Nails!


Hey girls!
I'm back with yet another nail design
I absolutely love doing my nails, but I always envision a cute design and it usually turns out to be a glob of polish. Honestly, if I can do this, you can too.
The video:
New Year's Nails!

Base Color: It can be dark or light, but you must have a contrasting color! :)
Sally Hansen- The Deepest of Violets
Contrasting color (color used to write “2012”): If the base color was dark, choose a light color, and vice-versa ß spelling??
LA Colors Art Deco Nail Laquer-White
Chunky polish: Any chunky polish of your choice works!
Wet&Wilds- Sparked
OPI- Mad as a Hattar & Absolutely Alice (from the Alice in Wonderland collection)
Sheer glittery nail polish (sorry it was a random brand! any kind will work!)
Toothpick:
Of course any kind works. this is just what I used to make my French manicure, but it you can free hand it, then go for it!
Topcoat: ANY kind works, but you better use one!! glitter chips VERY easily! It even chips the day that you put it on!
Sally Hansen Xtreme Nail-100 Invisible
I know a lot of people will get creative with the thumb nail, so choose any design! a cool idea could be the NYC ball drop or something! let me know what you guys would do! :)
That’s it! Please follow me on twitter so that I you can tweet me pics of your nail design!! :)

Have an amazing and SAFE New Year! I hope you all have someone to share the moment with!

Top Fall Jewelry Picks

I recently posted a video on my top fall jewelry! I do wear this jewelry year-round... my style changes every season, but i make all my jewelry work with it. I tweaked some of this seasons trend because they aren't really my style! But i hope you guys liked this video... I'm going to try and film a fall wardrobe essentials video, but it depends on if i figure out how to film! haha :)

The Video:

The Jewelry (In order of appearance in the video): (Description, Store, Estimated Price, Website Link)
Pearl/Gold Earring: The Limited, $20 http://www.thelimited.com/
I absolutely LOVE these earrings! Like I said in the video, I thought they were too bulky, but after wearing them for a little while, I got used to them and I absolutely love the way they look. I get so many compliments on them! They are really elegant and they look best with browns/neutrals. You've probably seen me wear them in a ton of my videos! :)
Diamond Studs: Claire's, $50 http://www.claires.com/store/
I got these generic studs from Claire's when I got my ears pierced. You don't have to get them specifically from Claire's, but I think it's a good idea to get a good pair of authentic, durable studs because they go with everything and if you don't like to change earrings like me, then these will be your new favorite accessory! But seriously, they do go with EVERYTHING, so make the investment and get a real pair!
Black Rubber Bracelet with Mirrored Accents: idk....., $8 
I think a lot of people pull off the "man" accessory look. But bulky watches don't look that good on me because I'm petite and I have tiny wrists. They kind of overwhelm me and stuff, plus I'd have to get 20 links taken off! I think this bracelet kind of gives off that manly vibe without being too overpowering. I like to wear this when I'm wearing something a little more girly, like floral print or frills, to balance it out.
St. Maarten Bracelet: Gift given from Danielle when she went on Vacation
Like I said, the yarn bracelet trend is amazing, because it's super cheap. You can make these on your own, and I also have a video on how to make a fabric bracelet. If you want, I can show you a quick way to fingerknit a cute bracelet. Also, you can make a ton in different colors, so you'll have one to wear with every outfit!
Peace Bracelet: Chinatown, NYC, $6 
I love shopping in Chinatown! I got this bracelet a while ago, when I didn't know how to haggle. Well, I've learned now.. and I really want to do a video on it!! Let me know if you guys want one! Anywho, this was definitely an eye catcher. i got one for my sister in an evergreen color. I don't know if you guys will be able to find one thats similar, but if you find something then please link it! :)
Hamsa Bracelet [Hand with jewel Bracelet w/ 'Dream Girl' Charm]: Chinatown, NYC, $6 FOUND A LINK! http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_SPM2127867803P?sid=IDx20101019x00001a&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=SPM2127867803
Again, this was one of the first times I went shopping in Chinatown. This bracelet is BEAUTIFUL! it's super simple but it has such a beautiful charm that I'm just inlove/obsessed with! Hamsa bracelets actually can get expensive, but just see if you can find them at the right places. The link i found had it cost about $14, but this bracelet is so adorable i think i want to get it in a ton of different colors.
Leather Braided Bracelet: H&M, $6 http://www.hm.com/us/
absolutely love. This is adorable! It goes with pretty much everything and it looks great on everyone! Danielle actually has the same bracelet by coincidence. It just so happens that we went to h&m, shopped separately, and at the register we realized we got the same thing in different colors! hers is red! Try to avoid wearing browns with this though, because it can look a little too dull.
Gold Charm Bracelet: H&M, $10 http://www.hm.com/us/
If you are into charm bracelets, this one is gorgeous! I love all the charms on this one. Not much to say about it... it's very girly and goes with pretty much anything.
Delicate Silver Bracelet: Brighton, $15 http://brighton.com/
This one is super cute because it's very simple, but delicate. Like i said in the video, although the chain is very thin, it's pretty durable, so don't worry about it breaking on you. It's super versatile because it looks good alone and piled with other things. It also has small multicolored beads, so it matches a lot of things.
Hoop Gold Necklace: Claires???, $7, http://www.claires.com/store/
So I'm not exactly sure where I got this one from, but I love it! I think long necklaces are my favorite item to accessorize with because its SO EASY! I literally put them over chunky sweaters and bold colored t-shirts. Love them!
Gold Canadian Leaf: Canada!, $20
Sorry I don't have a link for this one! I tried looking on amazon, but I couldn't find one that was similar enough to this one. But check out amazon to see if you like something there! This is very delicate and I actually like to wear it with the gold hoop one, because the short maple leaf looks great with the circles. 
Beaded Necklace: idk.., $5
Again, sorry for the lack of info on this one too. This was given to me as a gift a LONG time ago. It's a super versatile, boho looking item. You can also loop it around your wrist. 
Yellow Heart Necklace: Claire's $7 http://www.claires.com/store/
This one is another long necklace. Like I said in the video, be careful about what you pair this with because yellow doesn't match EVERYTHING.
Charm Necklace: Aeropostale, $10 http://www.aeropostale.com/shop/index.jsp?categoryId=3534619
This is one of my favorite "short" necklaces! I love all the charms.. they all go together so effortlessly! I have a hard time pairing short necklaces though.. i usually pair them with higher neck t-shirts.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post! have a happy, healthy, &safe thanksgiving <3 :)
