Also, I'm crushing on all things peplum. The patterns and colors schemes that can be peplum tops are just amazing and so cute! I'm also loving pocket tees and the baseball type tops that aren't like normal tops. They make you look so cute and I'm crushing on #1. Also the ideal top for fall that I love is #5. The colors are just perfect for fall and I love the pocket and how it lays on the shoulders.

Well guys, I'm seriously ready for fall! I would love to hear your favorite pieces for fall!

6 Tips for Healthy Hair

 via

1. Use heat less. I can probably count on both of my hands how many times I've used heat products this entire year. My hair is curly, so I naturally dry it and I don't like to straighten or curl it unless it's for a special occasion. So, make sure to use heat sparingly and air dry your hair more and embrace your natural hair.

2. Less hair products You may think everything you put in your hair is helping it, but many hair products actually make your hair oily, cakey, or more fine, which leads you to use more hair products to get rid of those things resulting in some crazy hair. So, be gentle on your hair. Make sure to check out natural masks for your hair to keep it healthy! Here are 3 masks that I've found.

3. Make sure to brush your hair everyday. This doesn't only untangle your hair, but helps stimulate your scalp, helping your hair grow faster and healthier.

4. Eat healthy. Many people don't realize that your diet pretty much influences everything that you desire: pretty hair, nice nails, healthy skin, good eye sight and many other things. So, make sure to eat salmont, walnuts, oyster, sweet potatoes, eggs, carrots, spinach, lentils, greek yogurt and blueberries. All of these foods have the power to make your hair healthier and more resistant to damage.

5. Don't wear your hair up too often. By wearing your hair up, it's prone to damage and breakage, which thins your hair.

6. Protect your hair from chlorine. It's still summer, which means lots of people are chilling in, out and by the pool, so make sure to protect your hair by using leave in conditioner and by immediately washing your hair after swimming.

I hope these tips help you to have healthier, beautiful hair!

How to do a Messy Braid

 I know tons of people know how to braid but I for those of you who may need a tip or two or just a visual help in perfecting your braiding, this is for you.

Materials Needed:

• Hair Tie
• Hair Brush
• A Headband (optional)
• Hair spray (optional)

 

1. Start of with straight, curly or wavy hair. I prefer doing my braids when my hair is curly. I just think it looks super cute and messier than the regular straight braids that girls sport.

 2. Bring your hair to the side and split it into three equal pieces.

 3. Next  you have the option of how you want your braid to look. For those who want the braid tight to your face use this method.

Method 1: For a Tighter Braid You can take the piece closest to your face and bring it in front of your middle section of hair and place it there. Then bring the section of hair farthest from your hair over the middle section. Then just proceed doing the same thing over and over until you reach the tip of your hair and secure it with a hair tie.

 Method 2: For a Looser Fuller Braid. You can take the piece farthest to your face and bring it across in front of your middle section of hair and place it there, making it now the middle section of the braid. Then bring the section of hair closest to your hair over the middle section, making it the middle section of the braid. Then just proceed doing the same thing over and over until you reach the tip of your hair and secure it with a hair tie.

 4. After you've secured your braid with a hair tie,
Method 1: For a Messy Look. Now use your fingers to loosen up your braid. Just pull slightly on each row of the braid to give it a fuller look. This gives the braid a messier appearance. You can also add a cute headband to complete the messy braid look.
Method 2: For a Sleek Look. If you want a sleeker looking braid, just leave the braid tight and pull the hair tie tight to secure the look. Also you can use hairspray to tame any fly a ways.

 And tada, your finished! You know have a gorgeous messy braid. p.s. you can pull out a couple of strand around your face to make it an even messier braid. My hair is too long for that, but those of you with layers can get away with that cute look.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. I love braids and this is my go to hair style when my hair is in the way. It's also a way to get cute loose curls if you sleep on it over night. You can do so many other cute looks through just a braid, so I'll be showing you some more cute looks with braids over the next couple weeks.

H54F: Blueberries Anyone?

 Happy Friday! I'm so glad it's the weekend! I'm physically and mentally exhausted and it's only the third week of school.

Well, let me get on to the 5 highs of my week and a couple from the week before.

1. My week went pretty well and I was able to go to my little cousins 2nd birthday two weeks ago when his family came to visit. It was nice to see them again. They live in California, so I only see them 1-2 times a year.

2. While driving in Houston I saw this cute dog park and since I adore dogs I decided this is definitely a highlight from my week!

Here's a little video a friend showed me that made me laugh out loud. I hope it brings a smile to your face.

3. It was national waffle day two Sundays ago and my family has named each Sunday national waffle day. I love waffles, so this was an easy decision to make.

4. Just a little picture that I took in Houston. Each time I take a picture I find something new on my camera. I'm still currently digging black and white photos.

5. Also, we celebrated my little sisters 16th birthday two weeks ago and made some special Davies family birthday recipes that I will be sharing on the blog soon.

Well, I hope you have a great weekend!

6 Common Beauty Mistakes

1. Rubbing your eyes. The skin around your eyes is very sensitive, elastic and when you rub your eyes, you causes the skin under your eyes to become baggy. So to prevent bags, try not to rub under your eyes and make sure to pat on your moisturizer, concealer and foundation. Also, do not pull on your eyes to put your eyeliner on! This make more bags and leads the skin under your eyes to lose their elasticity.

2. Not brushing your hair enough. Brushing your hair leads to under nourished hair and dry, brittle hair. Make sure to brush your hair so you stimulate the oils on your scalp to protect your hair.

3. Take cold showers. Cold showers help rejuvenate your skin and seal your hair follicles to prevent frizzing and split ends. Hot showers hurt your organs, dry your skin out, and damage your hair and can even lead to broken capillaries which is harmful to the skin.

4. Drinking through a straw. I'm not one to do this too often, but by drinking through a straw you may lead yourself to more wrinkles and lines on your face and around your mouth.

5. Conditioning to your roots. This leads to an oily scalp, which can lead to acne on your face, so make sure to just do from the nape of your neck to the ends of your hair. I used to do this for the longest time until one of my good friends who has super curly beautiful hair told me that I probably needed to lay off the conditioner on my roots and just do half of my hair with conditioner. I've been doing that ever since and my hair has grown less oily and is way healthier!

6. Ignoring your neck. Many people use moisturizer, sunscreen and even powder and forget to do their neck. Through ignoring your neck, you are prone to more wrinkles and skin cancer. Also, by applying your makeup to your neck, you make your makeup look more natural and fresh and don't have the line on the side of your face or under your chin.

I hope these tips helped you out and gave you information that you didn't know about.
