aint my first rodeo


this ain't my first rodeo. Amen! i fell in love with this tee the second it caught my eye. for one thing, its a saying my mom has used my whole life. & i find myself saying it an excessive amount. the look literally took 30 mins max. including hair, makeup, outfit.

hair-
section by section i used my TIGIPro Fat Curl Stick. I left every curl the way it was when i let it go after wrapping it around the wand.I leave about an inch or two inches of my hair at the bottom out. No combing or fingering through it. After doing all my hair i spray it with hairspray. Then i run my fingers through the curls to loosen it up. Then i parted my hair down the middle. Teased it all on top. left about 2 inches of bangs out. Combed through the teasing & smoothed it out. Pinned back both sides just to back of my ear. Then re-curled my bangs. Spray & go!

Born Reckless

Born Reckless
Sometimes you just want to have those days of feeling edgy & reckless. I mean come on, this is your chance to be a little bit of both! Take chances, take a lot of them. Live a little reckless, fall down sometimes. Just don't ever forget to get back up again. I promise you will be more disappointed by what you didn't do than by what you did do. Take chances. Right now, go! 
exhale hate, inhale love.

I'm so bad I'm good

You know those summer days that never seem to be long enough? So you find yourself not wanting to waste hours on getting ready when you can be out living that big beautiful life of yours. Well for days like that.. Throw on a vintage tee ( i always suggest a graphic tee with a pop) an old part of shorts (again I suggest add a little flare on them, like these ones I bleached the bottom on my J brand shorts to give it a little edge) put on some cute little military boots & always add a stack of bracelets. You will come to know I have a deep love & obsession for bracelets. You thought Emily Maynard was bad with her bracelet swag..you just wait. Oh & I'm completely obsessed with Emily Maynard too. Have you seen her? Gosh, who wouldn't be. You'll come to find out, I have an excessive amount of obsessions. Sorry I'm not sorry :) 
Tee- forever 21 
Shorts- J Brand with a splash of bleach 
Boots- Steve Madden 
Sunnies- Oakley (my ex boyfriend was a babe for scoring me these, they are my fave) 
THE BEAUTY BLENDER! 
Okay, I need to confess my obsession with this sponge. Possibility my obsession is border line crazy. But seriously. I have never found a tool that works as well as this does for putting on foundation. I use it for pretty much anything liquid from moisturizer to cream bronzers. The application is FLAWLESS! (just don't forget to clean it in between uses if you plan to switch products during application.) I wash mine with cleaner after every application but in between products on same application I usually just spray with a water bottle into a towel & watch the product come out. Always make sure it's slightly damp. Put water on it while pulsing it getting the water inside & watch it expand..like magic, no really they should consider it magic for how fabulous it is! 
Go try it, you won't regret it...i dare you!
