Hair 101: Hair Chalking

Chloe Grace Moretz

Hair chalking is a fun andd unique way to add a pop of color to your hair without the commitment! I have seen pictures of celebrities such as Lauren Conrad and Chloe Grace Moretz sport daring hair streaks that make me ask the question, how do you do that?  I have done a ton of research and figured out exactly how to create the look! All you need is pastel chalk, hairspray, and a heat styling tool.

1. Begin by wet your hair and sectioning off the peices of hair you want to color.
2. Take your chalk and furiously, without breaking/pulling out the hair, rub the chalk along the peices of hair.
3. Let the hair get about 50% dry and spray the peice with hair spray.
4. Curl or flat iron your hair to seal in the hair color from the chalked peices.

Hair chalking is just that easy! Lighter colored hair has the best results with hair chalking, but darker hair can still be chalked. Be aware that some people have had their hair become extremely hard and hard to brush after hair chalking. The hair chalk will go away after 1 or 2 washes.

Get The Look: Spring Lips

Lea Michele

I don't know about you, but I have a hard time wearing lots of make-up during the spring season. The weather can get hot and humid and allergies can cause the eyes to itch and water, not a good combo for a make-up look. For the spring season I am loving accenting the lips in bold lip colors, glosses, and stains and keeping the rest of the face simple. Lea Michele's look is perfect for spring and her lip color is bright, but goes great with her skin tone. I love that she does not completely forget her eyes by coating them in lengthening mascara. The only products you need to recreate Lea's look is a bold lip color and lengthening/thickening mascara.

1. Begin with a clean, smooth face. Use concealer and foundation as neccessary.
2. Take a rosy blush and apply it right to the apples of your cheeks and lightly into your temples.
3. Curl your lashes witha an eyelash curler then coat your lashes with the lengthen and/or thickening mascara. Be sure to use at least 3 coats to make your lashes pop!
4. Primer your lips with primer then glide your lip color across your lips. Be sure to wipe away any lipstick that went outside your lip line.

As for the hair, curl your hair into long, light waves and brush them all to one side. Secure the hair with bobby pins matching the color of your hair. Remember practice makes perfect and to be patient when trying out new beauty looks.

 No matter how many cute hairstyles you come up with, the same old bob or blonde highlights seems to turn into a uniform and the time comes to change it up! The best example of someone who knows about changing up their hair has to be Rihanna, she's had more than 3 different hairstyles all within the first few months of 2012! Rihanna is a master of risk taking and change and the key is to loosen up and experiment. The best way to change out your hair is to research different styles and even make a collage of everything that catches your eye and think about all the styles you have had before.When you finally come to one or two choices , be sure to consult with your hairdresser because they can help figure out how much of a change to make your hair. A quick tip is to use clip-in hair or extensions if you are scared of coloring your hair or want extra length and think about your lifestyle before doing anything too darastic.

How-To: The Picture Perfect Pose

Kendall and Kylie Jenner

Everyone loves to have that one great photo of themselves in a perfect pose that looks completely natural and effortless, but why not have all your pictures come out that way? Try out these tips the next time you want a picture perfect pose.

1. Stand up straight and tall! Standing up straight and tall prevents a slouchy, lazy look in your photograph and makes you appear taller.
2. Tilt your head! Be sure to slighty tilt your head forward so the camera does not see up into your nose. It also will create more angles in your face which is great for a picture.
3. Fix the details! You may be striking an amazing pose, but a wardrobe malfunction or an out of place hair can mess it all up. Be sure to check the little things right before you snap a picture.
4. Relax! Shake out any tense muscles or nerves before striking your pose so you don't look too forced. Natural and effortless is always best.
5. Smize! Tyra Banks is always telling girls to smize, smile with your eyes, and it definitely works. A sparkle in your eye makes your facial expression appear real and genuine. Think of something happy to create the perfect 'smize'.
6. Confidence! Confidence is the best aspect of a picture perfect pose. Show your confidence while striking your pose and you will instantly stand up taller and appear happier and friendlier.

Outfit Of The Day: Modern Mod

Today's outfit of the day showcases a new mod style dress that I absolutely love. The dress came from Marshall's and is super comfortable and makes me feel great. The dress gives me a mod feel and even reminds me of dresses that Twiggy wore in her modeling days. I paired the dress with minimal accessories because I wanted to let the dress stand out, especially the black sides which give me more of an hourglass shape. I did wear a cute pair of oxfords with my dress, but I love going barefoot which explains why my feet are cutoff in the pictures. My beauty look consists of no make-up, but I did try out a new curly hairstyle which I pinned to the side. I love it for spring!

Beauty 101: Tips for Healthy Skin

Jourdan Dunn

I am in love with supermodel, Jourdan Dunn's skin! She has such a natural glow and smoothness to her skin which only enhances her make-up. Just about everyone wants skin just as gorgeous so here are some tips:

1. Drink more water! Water hydrates the skin and will even help out with hair growth and your overall general health.
2. Take your vitamins! Vitamins help to nourish you and give you back nutrients and minerals you may be lacking, there are even vitamins specifically for skin.
3. Pull your hair back! It's great for your hair to generate natural oils to give it a nice shine, but it's not always great to lay on top of the skin. Try pulling your hair up or back away from your face.
4. No make-up! Try going without make-up for at least one day each week and let your skin rest and rejuvenate.
5. Make a routine! The best thing for staying on a good track to healthy, glowing skin is to make a routine. Wash your face, exfoliate, and moisturize should be included in your schedule.
6. Keep your hands off! Don't touch all over your face because oils and bacteria will do major damage to your skin and cause breakouts.
7. Listen to your skin! If your skin becomes dry from product lay off for a little bit and minimize the product use.
8. Moisturize oil-free! Always use an oil-free moisturizers during the spring and summer season, no need for any extra oil on our faces.
