*** On a normal day I don't wear eyeliner or eyeshadow which is why I did not include any of my other eye makeup products. This is what I wear if I say "natural." I hope you enjoy! Please let me know if you would like to see a review on a certain product.

Quick and Easy Hairstyles

   Due to finals approaching quickly, I decided to post some of my favorite easy hair tutorials. Lately, I have been doing a lot of heat-less hairstyles to help heal my hair from the heat damage. I choose to only style it once a week or once every other week. I hope you enjoy! 

Classy OOTD

Hair: Curled with a 1.25" iron

Makeup: Warm red-brown eyeshadow with a red lip

Sheer top: Macy's

Skirt: TJ Maxx

Boots: K-Mart 

Photographer: http://brianahernandezphotography.portfoliobox.io

   Today, I was struggling to find something to write about on here. I was debating on talking about a deep topic or keeping it light but in the end, I decided to keep it light since I've had a rough couple days. Anyways, these photos were taken awhile ago by a good friend but I decided the style of the outfit was totally relevant. This outfit is comfy yet very sophisticated. 

   Starting with the hair, I love big loose curls, they look so fun and flirty but they take little to no time to do! I split my hair in 2 to 3 sections and I curl each piece for about 10 seconds. It usually takes me 15 minutes to complete. After I finish curling, I use my fingers to comb through the curls to break them up. Then I lightly spray some hair spray and I'm done!

   The make-up I used to create my eye look was discontinued but the Anastasia Modern Renaissance works very well to re-create the look. I have a few pictures for ideas on the look I created:

        

   Now on to the outfit, cream and burgundy compliment each other nicely and the black in the boots is a classic touch. The sheer shirt is fairly loose with a bow tied on the front. I prefer wearing tank tops under my sheer shirts because I don't feel like flashing anyone. I decided to pair this shirt with a burgundy circle skirt because the loose fitting shirt and skirt gave the outfit an effortless look but since the skirt is cinched at the waist it gave me an hourglass figure which is flattering on anyone.  The boots just give it that casual yet classy touch. 

   Now, you could easily switch out the skirt for a pair of high waisted burgundy jeans with a skinny black belt. Also, the shoes can be easily swapped. Black heels or booties would dress this look up so you could wear it to a fancy dinner or an interview. This outfit is so versatile; you can wear it to school but then with a simple shoe change you could wear it out on the town for girls night! I really love the color scheme of this outfit.

I hope you enjoyed today's outfit!

OOTD For The Lazy Girl

Hair: Dutch braid space buns (Tutorials listed below)

Makeup: None

Demin Button Up: The Grove (Located in Claremont, CA)

Striped Tee: Target

Necklace: Forever 21

Leggings: Forever 21

Studded Combat Boots: Reflections

Corgi: Crown Corgi by Lisa Dawkins

Dog Stuff: Petco

   I'd like to consider myself the queen of lazy girl OOTDs and hair. It's funny to think back when I was in high school, I would make fun of the girls who would wear leggings as pants but now I wear leggings as pants 90% of the time. I do have one rule about wearing leggings as pants though--they must not be see-through. Personally, I tend to wear tops that are longer when I wear leggings so my butt is covered or slightly covered. I'm a big fan of t-shirts because they are loose fitting, comfy, and casual. Adding a flannel or a button up will give your lazy day outfit a bit of pizzazz to make it look put together. I find that adding a long necklace to this outfit gives it that extra touch to pull the outfit together. Lastly, the studded boots are a staple item in my wardrobe because they will instantly make my outfit look edgy.  I hope this OOTD gives you a little inspiration when you are feeling lazy!

Space Bun Videos!

In Honor of Valentines Day

   Unfortunately, I have so much homework right now so I don't have time to write anything but I decided I would post this video I came across today. I love it.

At Home Workout Collection

   Due to buying a car and now having a monthly payment, I can't go out as much as I used to. So I have taken up going to the gym (we will see how long that lasts). This week I have gone three times due to the rain because it's unsafe to ride my horse on the wet slippery ground. Although, I want to try to keep going about three times a week but with a busy schedule I might not be able to do that so I decided to create this post for the days we can't make it to the actual gym but still want to exercise. 

Hope you all enjoy! Happy exercising!

6 Midterms Study Tips

   So it's midterms at my university this week and I have not prepared as well as I should have but I decided I would give you some tips on studying so you're not ripping your hair out the night before. I spent all day yesterday in bed because I wasn't feeling well so naturally, I didn't think about studying. OPPS. Hopefully, you guys have better luck at studying with these tips.
Happy studying!

#1 Attend the review session
  ALWAYS attend the review session because most professors in my experience will give extra points for attending as well as you go over the key information that will be on the midterm.

#2 Organize a study group
   I haven't made many friends here at school but I do make it a point to talk to people in classes in hopes that when exams come around we can create a study group. It's easier to study in a group because you are able to combine notes. Google docs is a great tool to use when studying in a group.

#3 Create a study schedule
   Don't cram everything in at once. Create a schedule with the classes you have to study. Also, schedule your breaks. It sounds OCD, I know, but I've learned that it is one of the best ways to actually get everything done without stressing.

#4 Don't burn yourself out
   Start studying a little bit every day about two weeks before your exam. By studying a little bit every day you won't burn yourself out. You will find by doing this that you will be able to retain more information.

#5 FLASHCARDS
   No need to explain. These will save your life. I listed to online sites that help you make them.

https://quizlet.com

#6 Rest! Rest! Rest!
   Again, don't overwork yourself. Get rest. Go to bed at decent times and take breaks between studying. If you don't rest your brain, you won't be able to retain the information as well.
