Operation Beautiful: Mission 1

I recently came across the website operationbeautiful.com and was completely inspired by the notes. I want to start a blog mission to last for 3 months and update you on all the singular missions I will be doing! I will be blogging on what I have discovered, accomplished, and overcome in this time. I am not doing this to reassure myself that I am beautiful, because in my mind every girl is beautiful but it takes some time to realize that.

This week I will start my first task by starting to research quotes and make them. I'm so excited and cant wait! I hope some of you will join me in this journey!

Thank You!

Genuine Ken Anyone!??!?

Have any of you watched Genuine Ken on Hulu? I originally heard about it from Blair Fowler (JuicyStar07) and knew I had t give it a try. I started watching it on Tuesday and was immediately hooked. I mean, it's not a great show, but it is a show that you just NEED to know the outcome of it : ) So I watched all 8 episodes in the matter of days and was so let down on the ending. This show was just another plain same old same old reality TV show. Ultimately I would give this show 2 stars out of 5. It had its rare good moments but mostly cheesy. Although I do have to say I love the idea on becoming the Genuine Ken and Whitney Port!

Bii Girls : D

Laurens Happenings!

Hey hey! Its Lauren : ) I hope you are having a nice day. First of all I would like to say YAY for 2 followers! I appreciate it so much and hope I can get more in the future, its really fun to blog : )

Second, I am going to Ulta soon. Does anybody have any recomendations for OPI colors? I'm on a nail polish mental block. I am usuallyon a STRICT OPI diet but Essie's Turquoise and Caicos is on my list right now. Is there a color similar to this Essie color? Comment down below and let me know. <- Essie's Turquoise and Caicos

I am thinking about also getting the Opi colors: Coney Island Cotton Candy, Black Shatter (although I think I may hold of and get the Silver Shatter thats coming in May from the Pirates of The Caribbean Collection.) Royal Flush Blush, and I am still deciding whether I should get That's Hot Pink!

I also want to try some NYX products. I have heard they are really good and high quality for a drugstore brand. I had a bunch of things on my list to get, but crossed some off because of the bad reviews it got. Have you ever tried any NYX products? I want the Jumbo Eyeshadow Pencils in Milk and Yogurt.

Thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more blog posts!

How to Get Ready in the School morning

Lately I have been sleeping in waay to late (I get up at 6am every morning but lately around 7) And I am a girl that takes a really long time to get ready. I have a lot of tips to help reduce the time it takes to get ready in the morning!

1. If you straighten your hair in the morning, try doing it at night. This will help tons because you will actually take more time at night and make it look better than in the morning, and sleeping on it will make it look more natural. In the morning if you have a few wavy strands, just touch it up. It shouldn't take more than 5 minutes.

2. Plan your outfit the night before and lay everything out. I find this to help a lot, especially when you have so many options and so little time.

3. Makeup: Instead of putting on foundation and concealer just put on concealer AND THEN use a powder foundation. This will not only keep the makeup on for the whole day, but it will act as a foundation and a loose powder evening out your skin tone. I use the Clinique one that is really cheap. Its only $20.

I hope these tips helped and I will talk to you all later!!!

Spring Trends!

You all probably know about the spring trends for beauty (coral lips, bright cheeks, neon eyeliner, etc) but you probably dont know trends for fashion. If you are like me and your favorite store is forever 21 than continue listening!

Forever 21 just got newthings in stock and let me tell you.. EVERYTHING IS AMAZING! A big trend right now is wearing loose fit racerback tank tops. If you are a size small get a size large! Here is a picture of a racerback tank top:

Keep in mind you want this loose fitting, so get a size to 2 sizes bigger so you have a lot of room. The reason is so it can be more low cute to wear a bandeau with it. I'm assuming most of you know what a bandeau is, but if you don't... A bandeau is a new form of a cami but in a bra form. When the shirt above comes below the armpit the bandeau will look like a cami but it is really a crop top/ bra. They are the new fashion staple for spring and are not meant to be boring colors. Get a lime green or bright red one!

Every spring, floral print is always going to be "in" which I think is pretty boring, but this year they have mixed it up and made it floral print with a twist! And I'm not talking about your normal floral printed shirts, I'm talking ROMPERS! Rompers are totally "in" again like last year's Summer. Here is a picture of a floral printed romper:

Another big trend this year is abstract print tribal prints, and amazon jungle themed prints. Here are a few picks from rompers to dresses!

I got all these images off of Forever21.com! I really recommend buying from them. They have thousands of clothing items to pick from and you wont be let down! Its also really cheap. That bandeau was $3.50. You can't get cheaper than that!

I hope you liked this post and will be doing at least 2 posts a day!
