My Favorites in Fashion and Beauty!

I have lots of favorites but I figured that today I would break down my top six fashion and beauty favorites, three being beauty and the other three being fashion. So lets starts before I start to ramble on haha.


Whiskered Skinny Jeans - Forever 21

I love skinny jeans...for the love of all things if they are ripped I am twice as likely to buy them.  I first did not really like skinny jeans it was just something about them that made them look like they are just not comfortable, but wow I was really amazed. Of course I noticed that other girls were wearing them and to me I just did not want to conform and go with what everyone else was wearing but doing my back to school shopping in 7th grade I tried someone just to try them on and that is when the addiction on the skinny jeans started, it was also when my emo/scene days started but that is just a totally different story for a different time. Although I do have a rule for when I wear skinny jeans. NO tennie shoes whats so ever! I only wear uggs ( yes I still wear uggs lol ) boots/ heeled boots, Ballet flats, or flip flops.  I feel like wearing tennie shoes with skinny jeans it just looks weird or atleast it looks weird on me haha.

spiked bow uber platform pump - charlotte russe

Ok all in all I love a good pair of pumps these are just extra cute because they have the spikes and that adds a bit of flare to them. I am kinda short, or least I feel short haha I am  5'4 but in general I love a good pair of heels. They make me feel tall and sexy! Of course who does not want to feel that but also they make my legs look even longer. For a short girl ( ok normal size I guess lol!) I pretty long legs so that is a plus. But I love heels the taller the heel the better!

BLTD Lace Peasent top - Rue 21


I have for some reason really been loving lace. I have no clue why but I over the summer got a lace top and from there on out I just feel in love it. I know some people may think it have this old lady feel to it but done up and worn in the right way it looks really well. I have this classic feel to it and if you pair it with a leather jacket or some spiked heels you can have an edgy style that is girly and chic yet so vintage and edgy and something about that just speaks to me, that I really like.  None of that probably made any since lol but to me it does and if you love lace like I do then you might be able to understand at least half of what I said lol!

mega hair spray mega hold - aussie

This hair spray smells so good, and it really works. Aussie in general is a really good brand and I can highly recommend using it but ah it just smells so freaking good. The other night I curled my hair so that in the morning I would not have to worry about and sprayed it with some of this hair spray and WOW! It held all night long woke up and had the same great hair still, now I must say that is the clear way or saying that this product works.

Time zone - Estee lauder
To wrinkle or not to wrinkle...ha not wrinkle! haha This product is really great of of course as I stated in a one of my other blogs I am only 17 and I do not have wrinkles but none the less it is never to early to start. I use this in the morning because it has spf and it makes my skin feel super soft. I know it cost a lot of money but this is something that I would recommend getting it is well worth the money.


style elements  flat iron
I actually have no idea where you can get this flat iron, because I got it for Christmas but I use this thing everyday ( no joke)  It works really well and it heats up so fast, I actually curl my hair with this flat iron and it works really well. So two thumbs up from me :)

As you can see these are my top favorites of  fashion and beauty. As always I hope you enjoyed reading please feel free to subscribe by email, and send to others ( share the edge! )

Healthy Hair

I was once told that a girl's hair is her pride and joy, and to that I agree. For me personally my hair means a lot to me. It is my comfort blanket so to say and actually about a year or two ago I I was getting my hair cut and I got it cut really short and I was crying because it was cut so short I had an emotional attachment to my hair ha ha! But Now my hair is long again and with a recent cut and adding more layers to my hair I find my self wanting to go about keeping it healthier keeping away those awful split ends and having healthy happy hair :)

Here are some tips for happy healthy hair with food, shampoos and conditioners and a few more things that can keep your hair looking its best at all times! Now please take note that if you have fine or thin hair this is not going to make it thick or lush, so please keep this in mind.

I am a pollo-pesco vegetarian. So my diet is a bit restricted but not too much but here are some food that you can eat that are not only good for your body but great for your hair: Essential omega-3 fatty acids are needed to support scalp health some of the foods are Dairy, eggs, poultry, veggies, and fruits , and nuts and seeds just to name a few. You also need food that high in protein, vitamin B-12 and iron.

For more healthy hair tips from food click here: Feeding your hair and your body

Now some of the things that I do to keep my hair some what healthy ( you will see why I say " some what healthy" ) I do not wear my hair ties ( hair elastics, hair bands, etc.) about the only time I do wear it up is in a bun, when washing my face, need it out of face because it is oily, other then that my hair is down and shining in the sun light. Now this I don't do but at some point once those awful gray hairs start to come in I will start to dye my hair. I highly recommend that you do not dye your hair it will damage it great, along with flat ironing it ( I always use a flat iron) Blow drying it ( this I also do) and curling etc. Basically any heating product you use to style your hair is going to do some damage. Please always use heat protecting products this can help with heating damage and keep those split ends under control!


long and strong! plus silky smooth :)

If you clicked the link above it also shows and tells you about deep conditioning. This is a great way to get silky smooth hair and help repair it ( to some extinct) I personally do not do deep conditioning because my hair gets so oily and it is already pretty smooth. I don't want to add to my oily mess ha ha! A lot of the ways you can do this is simply from all natural foods that you get from the store.  here are some links to deep conditioning recipes, see you really are feeding your hair ;)
Culy Locks
hope for the damaged!
 ( please be sure to check the link above it gives two recipes for deep conditioning)

Hair products I use!
 I have use a Number of nice products as well as a whole lot of just pure awful, but none the less here are my top products that I recommend!

Ren Pure
Garnier Fructis
Aussie ( I also get my hair spray from Aussie It works great and has an amazing scent to it!)

As you can see there is many ways to keep or get your hair healthy you just have to work at it. Thank you to everyone that is reading be sure to comment and tell me what you think or what you want to hear about be sure to share as well!
