Hairstyle Freedha

4th of July Fancy Hair

This was done for the 4th of July but can be used for any holiday all you have to do is change the decorations you use.

I started by making a front poof.

Then I braided her sides up. Each side gets french braided up to the middle of her head.

Then pull all the hair into a ponytail

Now make a messy bun.

Then I found a red white and blue paper weight at the dollar store I pulled them apart and the 2 picture below are the items separated.

I pulled this one into individual strands and started to tie them into her hair.

The picture below has wire in it and was easy to wrap in and out of her hair.

Below is the back of her hair.

Right before it got dark we took glow in the dark bracelets and wrapped them through her hair as shown below.

4th of July Firework

I apologize I didn't get this up for the 4th of July things have been busy as most of you experience too!

The state we live in celebrates the 24th of July much like the 4th of July which I forget that other states don't celebrate.

This style was so simple and she turned out to be the most patriotic hair around our town.

All I did was make a poof then put her hair into pigtails (since she doesn't have much hair this was the easiest)

I went to our local dollar store and found a patriotic paper weight that had the strings below

and stars attached to a metal wire wrapped in red white and blue.

I folded the long strands of red white and blue over so they weren't so long and secured them with an elastic.

Right before we went out for the night we wrapped bracelet glow sticks in between each pigtail. Since the bracelets were much heavier than her hair we added a 3 on across the top of her head.

Rolls to Side Ponytail

This is a quick and simple style.

Start with a small roll. Rolling her bangs back but leave a couple small amounts of hair around her face (these will be curled in ringlets)

Then roll all the hair starting on the opposite side. Roll the hair into a side ponytail.

Secure all the hair on the side with an elastic.

I then put ringlets in the hair around her face and the ponytail along with wrapping the ponytail with her own hair.

Vegan Brownies!

The best brownies I have ever had! And they are Vegan!!

Here is the original recipe.

250 g or 2 cups - unbleached all-purpose flour

400 g or 2 cups - white sugar

65 g or 3/4 cup - unsweetened cocoa powder

1 Teaspoon - baking powder

1 Teaspoon - salt

235 ml or 1 cup water

235 ml or 1 cup vegetable oil

1 Teaspoon vanilla extract

I change it slight by changing the water to half water/half soya milk and half the vegetable oil because that is a lot of oil!!

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt. Pour in water, vegetable oil and vanilla; mix until well blended. I use an electric mixer so they were really smooth.
Spread evenly in a 9x13 inch baking pan. (I lined my tray with grease proof paper)
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is no longer shiny. (Keep a check on them, Vegan brownies I better soft)
Let cool for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Unless you like them falling apart and crumbling like I do!

I am rubbish at making brownies usually but these were so easy and turned out to be the best brownies I have ever made! (Said my dad!)

I have been using the magic peeling glove now for a few weeks. I love this way of exfoliating because you are phycailly removing the I don't have to worry about my skin reacting to the lotions/gels and beads mix that typically come along with exfoliating.

Before using the peeling glove I was using Dove Shower scrub. I like it. It has a beautiful smell and I thought it exfoliated pretty well that was until I use the magic peeling glove which is amazing!

Not only does this exfoliate the skin but it has other benefits -

-Eliminates dead skin cells with a gentle action that leaves the skin brighter.

-Liberates the skin from impurities and improves the skin ability for deep penetration of treatments - Like Anti-wrinkles, Moisturizer, Anti-cellulite and Spot removing.

-Revitalizes stretch Marks and acne scars.

-Prepares the skin for a perfect hair removing by promoting the exposure of ingrown hair.

-Promotes more effective and long lasting tanning.

-Help to prevent and clear up the small dark spots from the chest, face and hands that can be caused from the exposure to the sun.

From my experience I have found that it has brightens and smoothed my skin. Boosted circulation which has help with the improvement of the skin overall and helped revitalized stretch marks. (on going process)

Help with the removal of old fake tan and allowing new tanning application to last long and look flawless. Aided with the removal of hair, including getting a closer smoother long lasting shave and made is easier to use a epilator on underarms and bikini line due to exposure of the hair and the reduction in ingrown hair.

All in all I LOVE this product and look forward to using it every week.

Why is Minerals Make-up different -

KmS minerals are long wearing, waterproof, sweat proof while protecting the skin with natural SPF. I find the foundation has a silky texture once applied to the skin.

They are paraben free, free of talc, fragrance oils, chemicals and preservatives, Irritant-free and can be used on all skin types, including those that have Acne or Rosacea

Mineral Foundation is one of the easiest foundations to work with, and I would recommend it to anyone including mature skin types.

Skin Care Routine

Feel free to check out the full video above!

Otherwise keep reading to get an insight into my skin care routine and the products that I used that have helped clear up my break outs!

About my skin:

When I was a teen I never had break outs, I had the odd spot here and there but nothing crazy. In fact my skin was on the dryer side. Click here to see my top tips on dry skin (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-khL4aZXzk)

However the older I got the worse my skin seemed to get. I was covered in spots, blemishes, pimples!!! Seemed like one would clear up and another two would replace it! I tried every thing - All the odd home recipes, the kitty litter mask, lemon and sugar treatment but NOTHING WORKED!

Finally I stopped with all the quick fixes and just used the same products every night and every morning and my skin is getting better and better!

The products I used might not work for you, but finding the right skin care routine will.

Cleanser - Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Facial Wash

I use this at night to remove my make-up (one pump) and to also clean my skin (second pump). I don’t use this every morning as I don’t want to over wash my skin. Even though I used to take my make-up off at night I didn’t clean my skin too. So now I not only remove my make-up but I wash my face afterwards. I can’t stress enough how important it is to remove your make-up at night Just by doing that you will notice a difference!

Scrub - Simple Smoothing Facial Scrub

I use this once a week or twice if I notice a huge problem. Mostly once does the trick and I will stick to that. Exfoliating is great and feels great too but you have to be careful not to over do it. Especially if you have spots, if you keep disturbing the healing of the spots they will last longer!

Toner - Witch Hazel and Rose Water

This is my favourite part of my routine! I use my toner once in the morning instead of cleansing my skin and once at night after cleansing and I love this stuff! If you are looking for a good toner try looking in the health care and vitamin section of the pharmacy. Witch Hazel and Rose Water are natural extracts that not only remove any oils or dirt felt after cleansing the skin, but it leaves it super smooth and soft too!

Moisturiser - Nivea Soft Moisturiser

This is my favourite ever moisturiser I have tried. I love this more then any other product - high end or low this is the best! I highly recommend this! Seriously!!
