Hey y'all! I love social media. Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Instagram, Pinterest; I have it all. By far one of my favorite sites is Pinterest. I am an avid pinner, especially when it comes to DIY pins. I love any new idea that could potentially make my skin, body, health, etc. be better. I have tried enough of my DIY pins (some turned out better than others) to discover my favorites. Some pins have truly changed my life (cliche as it sounds, it's true). I thought I would share some of my favorites!
101 Best Tips For Clear Skin:
Exactly what the title says, 101 tips to getting, and maintaining clear skin. Some tips are basic ones most people would know, and others are ones you wouldn't expect. It's a good reference whenever you need to add a little pizazz to your face routine.
How To Tightline Eyes:
Tightlining my eyes is one of my favorite makeup tips I have picked up from Pinterest. It makes your eyes look fuller, and it totally looks natural. Love it.
Amazing Way To Take Off Nail Polish:
Okay, when I first tried this pin, I was skeptical. Until I actually saw it work before my eyes did I realize that I would never go back to taking my nail polish off any other way. Since I have used this method, I haven't gone back. I only use one cotton ball (most of the time less than that), to take off my nail polish. If you only try one of the pins I suggest, this is the one. This is one of my life changing pins. It's great y'all, I promise.
Random Beauty Tips:
Different Beauty Tips every girl should know.
Uses For Banana Peels:
There are seriously so many uses for banana peels, y'all. These are just a few of the best.
Acne Scars Be-Gone Face Mask:
No one likes acne, let alone acne scars. This mask is wonderful for helping get rid of acne scars, and even if you don't have acne scars, for refreshing your skin. Your skin will be extremely soft afterwards. I love this mask so much, I made my mom do it with me the second time. Even she liked it! If my mom likes it, you know it's good.
DIY Frap Recipes:
If you are like me, then you like your Starbucks. No matter how much I like Starbucks, I do not like the prices. (Especially a poor college girl like myself.) These DIY Frap recipes are easy, and taste just like the real thing. A+.
5 Makeup Artist Tricks To Steal:
Once again, a life changing pin. It's pins like these that make me glad the internet exists so I can learn the tricks of the trade.
The Right Way to Wash Your Face:
I didn't think there was a "right way" to wash your face, but apparently there is. Ever since I have been washing my face this way, I have seen vast improvements in my skin's overall health. It's a winner.
The Best Way To Apply Mascara:
Not a day goes by that I do not wear mascara. This is by far the best way to apply mascara; it makes your eyelashes look longer and fuller.
How To Look Good Without Makeup:
Who doesn't want to look good without makeup? Follow these steps to be well on your way.
So as y'all can probably tell, I like my Pinterest. These are a few of the pins that I have tried and enjoyed They are all fantastic, so feel free to try any of them you think might be good for you. I hope this has helped! Have a lovely day. :-)

Makeup products I have been loving
Hey y'all! Since I am a girl, I do wear makeup the majority of the time. Over the years, I have come to know and love a few products. They are great and make the whole "natural makeup" look a reality. (I hate looking like I'm caking it on, but I want to look decent at the same time, ya know? Natural makeup is where it's at, for me at least.) Here are some of my favorite products! (I am in no way affiliated with any of these companies or anything, I just like their products!)
Foundation-
Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation
This stuff is literally the best. I cannot get over how great it is! When you put it on, it blends right in with your skin. It lasts all day long, and keeps the finished look that it had right after you put it on. And it's not too expensive either! It's a dream. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a new foundation!
Powder-
The only powder I use, and probably will ever use is the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. If I am having a good skin day and don't need to wear foundation, I just pop on some concealer under my eyes and put the powder on and am good to go! (For my face at least...) It just adds that extra touch that you need in the mornings sometimes. It is a great powder, and as the name says, you stay matte. It's perfect for people who don't want to spend a ton of money on a high end product; you can buy it for 6$ (I think??) and it's good quality. Who doesn't love great quality at a good price, am I right?
Mascara-
It might be just me, but I cannot go a day without wearing mascara. I feel naked without it. It is my security blanket of the makeup world. One of the mascaras I had been hearing a ton of great things about was the Maybelline Rocket Volum' Express Mascara. So as the makeup lover that I am, had to try it. Boy did I fall in love. If you wear a solid amount you will most likely have a strong eyelash game everyday, and who doesn't want that? It's good stuff y'all.
Lips-
I don't know about you, but my lips are always chapped, especially during the winter. (Probably because I live in the cold mountains.) One of the things that is always hard for me is finding good quality lip balm that I will not lose. (You deserve an award if you can get through a tube of chap stick without losing it.) My sister recently told me about a lip balm that moisturizes your skin wonderfully, and doubles as a hand/body lotion. (Multi-use is perfect for me, since I hate carrying around more that I have to.) The packaging is able to be composted, and the actual product is organic. It's great stuff y'all. Skin Fare lotion sticks are the only lip balms, and hand lotions I've been using now a days, and I couldn't be happier.
Okay so I know I don't have favorite products for every single makeup category, but I don't have a favorite for those yet, and when I do I'll share my thoughts with y'all. I would love to hear any suggestions you guys might have, so please leave them in the comments below! I am in no way a makeup expert or reviewer. These are just my opinions about products I have tried and loved. If you end up taking my advice to try these products, and hate them, that's fine! You are in no way obligated to love them like I love them. These are just my thoughts. Anyways, I hope you have a lovely day! :-)
