Inspiring 2011 Hairstyles

Hi Guys,

I have been seeing some really great hairstyles this year and we are already four months into the year. I myself have been rocking the same style for about three months. I would say my style is more toward the sexy waves trend. Three months is a long time so I thought I would hit the Internet it look up some style ideas. I found this great post from Allure Magazine on 31 new hairstyles for 2011. I was really excited to see the flip on there. I remember wearing a flip in high school. I was also excited to see the accessorized updo because I never wear my hair up. I'm can't wait to try this one out. Some of these styles aren't so new but are making a comeback. Check out the pictures of my favorites from the post. What styles are your favorites?

Black Milk Leggings

Okay, I maybe a little old but I just discovered the brand Black Milk who creates that most interesting leggings out there. I have always loved leggings. It the go to piece whenever your feeling a little lazy and don't want to put much effort into your wardrobe. At least that is how I see it. Just throw on a pair of leggings and you're good to go.

The Black Milk brand of leggings takes you even further as far as legging designs. I recently discovered the leggings through a NastyGal posting on facebook. NastyGal had them priced at $80 for the leg bones design but if you go on the Black Milk website they are only $70. Overall the price is between $70-$80. Heading to the BM website led me to a number of other designs that are pretty classic. Would you dare to rock a pair? I think I could. Check out some of the ones that I picked as my favorite.

Lovely Lemon Scrub

Good morning readers!

Blogger has finally came back to life. That was pretty sucky. I couldn't access my blog all day yesterday or this morning. I posted a post yesterday and now its gone. Its disappeared and not even in my draft..ugh!

With that said I wanted to share a great beauty tip that I found on LaurenConrad.com. I absolutley love her website. She has great tips and tricks. I really recommend everyone to sign up. She a very smart young lady. You just got to love her. So anyway I stumbled across her Kitchen Beautician post called DIY Lemon Scrub. Its basically a remedy to make your own scrub from ingredients in your own kitchen. Some of you probably already knew that but I usually have to go to the Spa and spend money because I'm very lazy and have no time to do things myself. I have pledge that I will try this at home remedies to save a little case in my pocket. Everything you need to make the scrub is listed below.



What you will need

• 5 tablespoons sea salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lemon

Instructions
First mix the olive oil and sea salt together. Once the salt gets coated by the oil, the lemon won’t dissolve it! Next cut the lemon in half and squeeze over the salt + oil. Mix and mash. (Feel free to adjust the recipe to your liking.) Then scrub away!!

Now that was easy! Hope you guys will try it out. I know I will.
