HOW TO | Grow Out Your Eyebrows Thicker

Hello darlings!

So, you over-plucked your eyebrows again? Or you have thin eyebrows? You want to re-grow your eyebrows out? I'm here to help you :) 

- Things That You Need -

1. Q - Tips

2. Vaseline 

3. Olive Oil

- Directions - 

Step 1. Apply vaseline to your eyebrows where you want them to grow in the morning and leave on for a couple of hours. Wipe excess jelly away with the Q-tips. Vaseline will make your eyebrows grow thick.

Step 2. Apply more Vaseline in the afternoon as you did in the morning. Wipe off after a couple of hours.

Step 3. Apply olive oil to your eyebrows at night after you comb your eyebrows. Make sure you apply it exactly where you want your eyebrows to grow. Olive oil will make them grow faster. Clean the olive oil off in the morning and start all over again.

Step 4. Stop the treatments once you have the eyebrows you desire. If you have a medical condition that keeps hair from growing, you may want to add some vitamins to your diet to encourage hair growth. Vitamins A, B3, C and especially E can help boost growth as well.

Good Luck :) 

To The October Babies

If your birthday is on October 1 - October 31, Happy early birthday guys :)

How To | Make Money While In School/College

Hello Darlings

Here's how to make money while you're in HS or College.

Recycling

The next time you and your roomies throw a party, set up a trash bag or plastic bin for people to toss their empty bottles and cans in. The next day, take a trip to your local grocery store and cash in for the deposit. You'll make great pocket change with last night's empties going anywhere from 5 to 10¢. Not only are you helping the environment, but it's also extra money for your coffee habit.

Babysitting

Unleash your inner 5-year-old by way of Dora the Explorer and dinosaur chicken nuggets (they'll be your new best friends). If you don't mind hanging with kids and the occasional diaper change doesn't repulse you, you might have a career as the next Mary Poppins. Start your search for babysitting jobs by posting fliers with your information at your school, or consider placing a small ad in your school newspaper. If you know one of your favorite professors has a couple of tater tots at home, approach her after class and let her know you're available. Also, check out Web sites like Sitter City, which allows you to search for jobs based upon where you live, the distance you're willing to travel, the rate you charge, your availability, and more. This is the perfect job for night owls who don't mind staying up late at night (and getting paid to do your homework when the kids fall asleep!).

Sell Back Your Textbooks

Buying textbooks for the semester is painful. But in order to ease the pain of seeing $500 slip from your wallet, don't give them away or toss them in the back of your closet. Instead check out sites like Chegg or Sell Back Your Book, where you can sell your books for money in addition to purchasing inexpensive ones for when that time of the semester rolls around again.

Dog-Sitting/Dog-Walking

Getting paid to play with a puppy? Sign me up. Not only will you be getting a paycheck, but you'll also be a total guy magnet when you take Fluffy for a loop around campus. Like a babysitting job, start by putting up fliers and advertising through a newspaper where you're likely to reach a wider range of people. Keep in mind that you might have to take the dog out several times a day, so the more flexible your schedule is, the better.

Bring Your Clothes to Consignment Shops

Not only does taking a hefty bag of clothes to your local consignment shop instantly make more room in your closet, but it's a quick and easy cash-in. Take a couple of hours to sort through your clothes and make a trip to a consignment shop with whatever doesn't fit (or that knitted kitten sweater that Grandma made for you three Christmases ago). At a consignment shop, your clothes that are accepted are given a value, and then depending on what it is worth, you get an amount in a cash payment right there on the spot!

eBay It

Hosting a garage sale may be difficult when you don't have a garage (or a front yard), so use the Internet as your own marketplace. Whether it's clothes, a used iPod, or your old snowboard, you can practically sell anything on eBay and make big bucks by almost doing nothing. Setting up an eBay account and listing the items you want to auction takes minimal effort and is an easy way to get the things you don't want and never use off your hands.

Sign Up to Be a Human Subject in a Psych Study

You get dozens of these e-mails a month and like me, probably delete them. But before you send those annoying messages to the trash, take a minute to really check them out. Many science and psych studies requesting human subjects are willing to pay you to participate. But if you're thinking freaky experiments that mad scientists conduct, there's no need to worry. For example, during my first week of classes, I received an e-mail requesting participation in a survey about violence in romantic relationships. For this particular study, participation requires completing an online questionnaire, which takes around 25 minutes and can be anonymously taken. Go to your school's Psychology department's Web site to find out how to sign up to participate in studies. Payment for participation varies

Be a Note-Taker

It can be tough to roll out of bed for those Friday 8 a.m.'s, which is why becoming a paid note-taker carries the perfect incentive you need. Here's how it usually works: Go to class, take notes, go home and type up the notes, and then post them within a 24-hour period. You're essentially getting paid to do the work you've already done, so if you pride yourself on taking immaculate class notes, this gig is right up your alley. Check with your class's department to see if a note-taker is needed.

Happy Grandparents Day

Even though, EVERY day is grandparents day, but love your grandparents everyday. They took care of you and your siblings, raise your parents, and spoil you to death. I love my grandparents and they still spoil me to death to this day.

I love my Nannie and Poppie :) 

Have a great grandparents day <3

How To : Spot A FAKE Friend

The one thing that I truly dislike is a fake friend. A fake friend is someone that 'say' that their your friend but isn't supporting or doesn't act as a friend.

So, here's some tips on how to spot a fake phony friend.

1. Selfish Behavior

Fake friends tend to be very one-dimensional. They think about their needs and are very oblivious to the needs of others. They only call you when they want or need something and they are very unapologetic about it. If your friends can't deem you worthy enough to talk to other than when they need you. Cut them off!

2. Gossip and Drama

It's like my mother used to say; If they will talk about someone to you, then nine times out of ten, they are talking about "you" to someone else. Gossip is a terrible thing. It's a stirring pot of drama and just creates bad energy. It hurts other people and it can make you look and feel bad about yourself in the long run. One sure sign that your friends aren't really your friends, is when you find that you gossip more when around them.

A real friend would never bother to sit around to constantly entertain such miscellaneous conversation. A real friend also wouldn't allow others talk about you or anyone else in a negative way without you being there to defend yourself.

3. You Have To Mask Yourself While Around Them

If you feel like you have to be someone other than your normal self around your friends then chances are they aren't your real friends. We all know this feeling. You go out with these people but you feel like you need to dress or talk differently in order to fit in.

4. Lies and Competition

Fake friends are typically ashamed of who they are. They hate any and everything that has to do with honesty. It's lies that keep them feeling good about themselves. These types of friends also feel the need to compete with you on a regular basis.

For instance; Let's say that you went out bought a new outfit, and you get a few compliments from people. Someone asks where did you buy your outfit? After you politely answer the question, watch how quickly your fake friend will go out of their way to talk about the new outfit that they bought. They will mention everything from the price, brand, store and even the name of the sales clerk, basically going out of their way to make it seem like their purchase and taste in fashion is much more exquisite than yours. Which would be quite odd since nobody ever asked them about what they bought in the first place.

Choose to share some good news with a friend shouldn't have to always propel him or her into a "me too" reaction. You should never be made to feel like you have to compete with your friends and vice versa. And no one should have to embellish on the truth to seek a more favorable opinion of themselves from others.

We are what we are. There is absolutely no point in making illusions and making up lies. Even if it did make other people like you more, they're liking a 'fake you,' which is more sad then having people dislike the real you.

5. Never Happy When You Achieve Something Great

If your friend tends to have something negative or insulting to say to you everytime you have some good news to share, have achieved something great, then this is not a real friend. Real friends are supportive and they are constantly sharing positive words of encouragement. They are also very selfless - they see potential in you, even when you can't see it in yourself. Pay attention to their reaction and body language, see if they seem genuine. 85% of communication is non-verbal so it should be easy to read right through them.

Friends are more than just good company. They are influential people in your life. They can either have a negative influence or a positive one. They are supportive and loving even when there is indifference and they play a big role in how you see and interact with the world.

Be the person you want to be and you'll attract individuals with the same beliefs, opinions, values, etc. The truth always comes out.

So, there the tips on spotting a fake friend & if you have so-called 'friend' that is ALL of these; cut them off! You want REAL friends that will be there for YOU and support YOU no matter what!

❤ DIY Honey Sugar Lip Scrub ❤

❤ DIY HONEY SUGAR LIP SCRUB ❤

* DISCLAIMER: PICTURES AREN'T MINE* 

Ugh, do you hate having chapped lips? Me too, even in the summer time. And do you want to get rid of the dead skin off of your lips? You do? Well, I have the best lip scrub for you, you don't have to buy it; you CAN make it yourself with the items that you have in your home. Are you ready, well lets get started!

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp. Vaseline (a natural salve or balm can be substituted if petroleum’s not your bag)
• 1 tbsp. Honey
• 2 tbsp. Sugar (white or brown)
• Flavor (here’s where you can get creative— use maple, caramel or strawberry syrup, or you can even a drop or two of your favorite essential oil like almond oil, grape-seed oil, or coconut oil)

Directions

Combine the ingredients in the container of your choice (a small glass jar works well, or you can re-appropriate an empty moisturizer container), mixing until everything is thoroughly combined. You can add more sugar or more honey depending on how you want the consistency. Then scoop a silver dollar-sized amount onto your lips (try to resist the urge to eat it!) and slowly massage it in for 1-3 minutes. You can massage with an old toothbrush for extra exfoliation. Then rinse the mixture off your lips and smooth on your favorite lip balm. Now go kiss someone!

How To: Easily Get Back Into the Dating Scene

Hello darlings!

So, are you single? How long have you been single? Wow, that long huh? I feel ya, I've been single for 5 years and I'm tired of being single. I want to start dating but I really don't know how to get started. So, I did my research and found a site with tips on getting back into the dating game for all the single people.

1. Take time to heal. Hey, relationships end for all sort of reasons. Before you begin a new one, make sure you've dealt with all the old hurts and disappointments from the old one. You and whoever you're going to date don't need the added baggage from what went wrong with your last girl or guy. Deal with the anger and hurt. Find a way to let it go and get on with your life.

2. Take the time to figure out what you want in a man or woman. When you begin to date again, your want to make sure that your looking for someone that meets YOUR needs and desires are. This is only to yourself and to the man or woman you will eventually date.

3. Go out to have fun and be social first. You need to become comfortable being out in social setting by yourself. Have fun with your friend, or make new friends. Enjoy your time out when your by yourself. This will increase your confidence and make you more comfortable being out in public without the old boyfriend/girlfriend or ex-wife/husband needing to be with you. Plus, you have the added advantage of getting noticed by single men/women as a man/woman who is by himself/herself.

4. After you get comfortable being in a social setting, start approaching men/women. Not just one or two, but a lot of men/women. You GET to practice the art of flirting, you GET to look them over without reproach. Dating is fun and pleasurable way to spend your time. So, enjoy yourself.

PRODUCT REVIEW | Visibly Bright Daily Facial Cleanser from Neutrogena

^ Original Product Shown [6.7 fl oz & $7.49] ^

Hello darlings!

My Opinion/Review: I'm here to review the Visibly Bright Daily Facial Cleanser from Neutrogena. I recently received this product as a sample [0.5 fl oz]; at first, I was a little hesitant of using this because I didn't know it worked for oily-dry skin nor it was oil-free but I gave it a shot anyways and it does work for ALL skin types [Score!] I only wash my face with acne products twice a week [once on Sunday & once on Wednesday] because my face REALLY does get very dry and I get dry patches all over on my face [with and without moisturizer] if I do it everyday.

Pros:

Smells Great!

Comes in two sizes

Works for ALL skin types!

Yes Or No Recommending this Product? Yes, I truly recommend this product for bad acne problems. #pimpleproblems

Available at your local drugstores [walgreens, walmart, kmart, target, and CVS] <-- For Non-Online People
