*Dim Lighting (Lounge Mode)*

Here’s a few tips on how to make your room a little more warmer looking for any party, date, special ocasion or just for a regular basis. You can make your living room, bedroom, den, kitchen, really any room, seem like your in a lounge or cafe. Forget candles and having them melt everywhere or turn off, here are some things a little easier to handle:

First option is; paper lanterns. These are my favorite! You can buy small or big lanters in round, square, triangle or pretty much any shape to add a nice decor a dim light to the room depending on the space. Lanterns also come with shapes cut out, these add shadow patterns to your walls. If the room is too small or the ceiling isnt high enough then consider small lanterns. You can find these pretty much anywhere and use any color you like. However, if you to use colored lanters then the room will be a lot darker than if you’d use white lanterns. Hang them preferably from the ceiling so it doesn’t make the room look smaller if it is, also you can hang them all in the middle of the room or in different hanging patterns, you don’t necesarily have to hang them in the corners of the room. I recommend lanters only for cozy/famliy rooms rather than a living room or kitchen because it would make it seem like christmas. Also, remember to buy lanterns with lights in them unless you plan to hang it on some lights that you already have.

Second option is; christmas lights. Try to steer clear from the multi-colored or white ones which are the ones associated with christmas. Instead go with some that are one color. For example, I currently have red light hanging from my head rest on my bed. You can get any color that goes well with the scheme already in the room. Also, to add a little more to these lights if you already have the colored or white ones and don’t wish to buy another, you can take construction paper and cut any shape you’d like to go around the lights. Then simply glue the ends together and glue a handle to the top of your design. Place it over the light and the paper handle on top of the cable and glue the other side on. Now you have customized paper lanterns for your lights. You can hang these over your bed, over the curtains, over the door, or on the ceiling of any room you’d like. And remember that darker colors will make the room look darker. Also remember that if you leave slits or holes in your paper lantern design, this design will be reflected on your whole room.

Final option is the simplest of them all; put a piece of see-through colored cloth over a lamp. It’s really that easy. Take any old shirt, blanket, dress, etc. and cut a piece large enough to cover your lamp and place it over the top. In this case it doesn’t matter what color you use, although black will be extremely dark, but white will be counter-productive. White cloth won’t dim your lights at all. Also it needs to be see-through or else, well, you won’t see any light.

Anyways, thats all for today! Hope you guys find these tips useful and hopefully one of the options worked for you. Upload some pics to show me your end result. Did it come out like you expected?

*Lazy Morning Hairstyle*

Here’s a few tips on how to do your hair overnight if you don’t have time to style it in the morning or if you are simply feeling too lazy to do your hair.

Braid your hair! This is not something I recommend doing every night since it can lead to breaking your ends, but every once in a while it won’t affect you. Either french braid or regularly braid your hair at night (or hours before) a lazy or busy day. Braid it tightly so the curl will remain throughout the day. In the morning, undo the braid with your fingers. DO NOT COMB OR BRUSH YOUR HAIR! After undoing all of the braids, simply shake the clumps of hair that are together with your fingers and, girls with curly hair; apply leave-in conditioner or shine, and girls with straight hair; apply gel or mousse. Always remember to use only your fingers. This is going to give you beach waves as if you spent hours styling it with a curling iron.

Hope this helps and remember to never braid your hair wet and upoload pictures and show me hoe it worked for you. Did you get the result you were looking for?

*Fab Nails*

Here’s a few tips on how to do those sweet designs yourself at home with some materials you already have lying around.

For polkadots or small designs like hearts, bows, mustaches, etc.; use a toothpick or a disposable fork and cut off the two middle teeth of the fork. You can dip the fork or toothpick into the nailpolish and carefully and steadily apply your design. Take more polish than in necessary when doing this and don’t get too close to the nail so as to not scrape off any base polish.

For a faded look, take whatever colors you want to wear and put a little of each on a disposable plate, either vertically or horizontally (whichever direction you want the fade to go in). Make sure to have the nailpolishes be one after the other with no spaces in between each. Afterwards, take a small sponge (you can cut one if necessary) and lay it over all the colors and tip it side to side so it can soak up all the polish. After you’ve done this, place the sponge straight on your nail and tip it side to side again to make sure all the polish lands on your nail. Let dry and apply clear coat and you will have a faded look!

You can also buy stencils or stamps and paint over it to apply the design to your nail. Also, you can buy the nail polish with the stencil brush which is made for designs, but these can be expensive and you have to buy them in every color. Nevertheless, it’s still an option. CREATIVITY IS KEY!!

Remember to apply a base coat and let it DRY before doing any designs, and let the design dry BEFORE applying top coat. Also, use BRIGHT COLORS in any combination. Peach, Mint Green, Lilac, Black, Yellow and Light Pink are hot right now! And don’t get discouraged if it doesn’t work the first time, some designs take practice. Didn’t mama tell you practice makes perfect?

*Organizing Your Handbags*

Here are some quick and easy tips to organizing all your bags in your room

1. You can buy (or make) a handbag or belt holder and tie the handbags to the holder with a piece of rope, or make/buy a holder with an opening so you can hang your bags by the handles. You could hang this holder from your closet rack or you can put nails or frame holders on your closet door or wall and hang your handbag holder from there. To make your own handbag holder you can use wire clothing hangers and tie them to the bottom of the hanger with a piece of rope or anything else you can find to attach your purse to the hanger.
2. You can hammer in nails to your walls and hang a purse individually and get creative with the hanging pattern. Also, you can buy frame hangers that stick to your wall with double tape which already come with a hook and then you can hang individually your purses from there. Also you can place these or thumbtacks on the inside or outside of your closet or room door and hang your purses from there.
3. Take a short clothing rack or shoe rack and place the handbags on the rack. You can put this in a corner of your room and then have available your handbags anytime. If the rack does not have openings where to hang your bags from the handle then simple use a piece of rope or velcro or anything else you can find and attach them to the rack.

Hope this is proven useful. Please let me know if it helped. Oh and also, if there’s anything else you guys want me to write about let me know. Is there anything you guys might need help with?

*Turn Your Old Clothes Into New Clothes*

DIY is probably the best way to go when it comes to your old clothes. Don’t throw them out and go shopping for new ones!! Instead, with a few inexpensive materials, you can transform your old, stained, washed out clothes into new, fashionable pieces of clothing.

1. If you have an old pair of jeans or shorts you don’t like or want anymore you can cut them up (scissors first then a knife so you can give it the shredded efffect), stud them (this is very simple, you can find any type of stores wherever arts and crafts are sold and you can put them in with a hammer, no need for the little machine), you can take an old shirt that doesn’t fit or has a stain on it and cut it up and sew it on a side of your shorts/jeans to make a new design (if you’re like me and don’t know how to sew, you can always hot glue it on and/or buy small studs on the edge of the fabric to hold it in place) and if you want to go for a simpler look or if it has stains, you can always buy clothing dye and dye your shorts/jeans a different color or multiple colors.
2. If you have a shirt that’s too big or too small on you but it’s your favorite shirt, then cut it up! You can make it into any style, get creative! Cut the sides, back or sleeves, make it your own! Or If you just can’t come up with any design, cut the logo or a piece of print off the shirt and place it on any regular t-shirt (you can sew it on or use hot glue and them iron/steam it) or use that shirt to decorate another clothing item like the shorts/pants mentioned above or use it as a head band or scarf.
3. Dresses can also be modified. Make it shorter but cutting it in any design you want (again scissors first and then knife for a shredded look) or you can update it by adding glitter, studs, pieces of cloth or anything else you can come up with!

The point is, don’t just throw out your old clothes because they are stained, small, big, or out-dated, you can create your own piece of clothing that no one else will have and it will be cheaper then buying a new wardrobe. Trust me, it’s easy! Don’t you think so?
