15 Questions We Are All Dying To Know Tag

Hey everyone!

I was tagged by Emily on YouTube. I didn't want to put the tag video up on YouTube for multiple reasons, so I'm posting it here. Her channel is EmilyCarlin215 and she is trying to get to 100 subbies! She is going to something very special at 100 subbies, and she'll give us a hint at 75. At the time of this post she's at 74. So please go subscribe to her, I really want to see the special video! Anyways, Emily is the creator of this tag. And I'm supposed to give her credit for it. So.....yeah! Let's get started with the tag! :)

 1. What makeup remover do you use? Water. Yeah, probably not the best thing, but I always take a shower before I go to bed and the water washes it off. And what it doesn't wash off when I dry may face it takes it off. But...when I do use makeup remover I use the wipes from Blum Natural and from Ponds. :)
2. Do you have any products you have used up? Yes. I am planning on doing a video of those things at then end of this month.
3. What is your favorite brand of brushes? I honestly don't use many brushes, I like using my fingers because then I feel like I have more control over everything. But I do use brushes. I can't remember the brand, but I have a set that I got from Big Lots for like three dollars that has like six brushes in it that work pretty well. Sorry I can't be more detailed!
4. What is your favorite lip product? Jordana lipstick number 01 shade Pink Flair. Is it weird I know that by heart?
5. What is your favorite hair product? Herbal Essences shampoos! I love all of their shampoos, they smell so good!
6. What is your favorite perfume/ body mist? Omigosh. There is this one that is discontinued, but I love it so much. It was from Hot Topic, and it was called like Midnight Mermaid. It smells SO good, like cake batter. I got it from a store that was closing down (permanently) and everything was discounted really cheap. So I used the tester and asked where I could find the bottle and buy it and how much it was. Guess what? They didn't have any left. So they let me keep the tester bottle for free! I never wear it because I want to save it. This might sound ridiculous, but I'm planning on saving it for my wedding day...whenever that will be. :)
7. What is your favorite nail polish? Sinful Colors in the shade Frenzy. I don't know the number of the top of my head, but it's so AMAZING!
8. What is your favorite magazine? Teen Vogue.
9. What is your favorite print from Vera bradley? I don't have anything by Vera Bradley, so I honestly wouldn't know. Sorry!
10. Show your favorite pair of shoes. Well this is a blog post, not a video....so I can't really do that without inserting a picture (and I didn't think of that before I wrote this) but probably my black boots from Bear Paw or my shoes I showed in my Memorial Day Weekend Haul. :)
11. What is your favorite shirt? I love my gray and blue striped shirt from Op. And my gray and white striped racerback shirt from Express. I love stripes.
12. What is your favorite purse brand? Um...I don't like to spend hundreds of dollars on designer purses. I don't go to Coach or anything, so Target? I normally only buy one purse a year though. I'm not a huge purse girl.
13. What is your favorite gum? 5 Cobalt.
14. What is your favorite deodorant scent? Degree Girl Just Dance.
15. What is your favorite MAC shadow? Ugh. This sound stupid for a beauty obsessed girl like me, but I've never stepped foot inside a MAC before. I want to go really badly, but my closest one is like forty five minutes to an hour away. :(


So I tag anyone who wants to do this tag! Please credit EmilyCarlin215 from YouTube though. :) And please sunscribe to her as well!

Thanks,

10 Easy Ways To Be Healthier

Hey everyone!

Today I thought I would do a post on 10 simple ways to improve your diet. Just like with my post about sunscreen, SPF and sunburns, I have to turn this in as a project, but thought that it might be somewhat useful to this blog since beauty has to do a lot with health. The healthier you are, the better skin you have, the better looking skin you have, etc. So please enjoy and I will get back to more beauty related posts and posting more often soon. Thanks so much!

1. Change the peanut butter you buy to a natural kind: instead of buying Skippy Creamy, buy Skippy Natural Creamy (less preservatives and added sugar).
2. Change your soda to a less sugar version or natural soda. Instead of buying Sprite, you could buy Natural Sierra Mist. Or instead of buying Pepsi, you could buy Pepsi Next, or buy soda by a natural soda company, such as Hansen's Natural. But, not drinking soda at all is the best way to go.
3. Keep healthy snacks on hand instead of junk food ones. Instead of filling up on candy, chocolates, cake or other junk food, try getting strawberries and dipping them in chocolate sauce or putting a little spritz of whipped cream on top.
4. Instead of going out for milkshakes, go out for smoothies! Or better yet, make your own smoothies. They have the same consistency of milkshakes, are fruity, yummy and healthy!
5. Instead of buying 'juices' like Kool Aid or Hawaiian Punch, buy V-8 Fusion juices. They have both fruits and veggies blended into the drink, but you can only taste the fruit.
6. Limit your nights eating out. Eating out to a lot of families is second nature, but really it's bad for you. You have no control over what ingredients make it into your food and body. Plus most restaurants serve high in fat and calorie food. Another bonus is that you'll save money too!
7. Color your plate. The more colors on your plate, the more vitamins are in the meal, so the healthier it is.
8. When at the movies, try staying away from the concession stand and eating before you come. If you can't stand not having anything from the concessions stand, buy a pack of gum and a water bottle instead. And if you decide to get that movie theater popcorn ask for no butter flavoring (really just an icky liquid poured on it) or very little.
9. Make things from scratch. Buy less processed foods and make your own. Instead of buying bread, make your own loaf. It's better for you and cheaper, too!
10. Buy organic,natural, or local products. Buy from stores such as Trader Joe's to get healthier choices and more organic options. Farmers markers and growing your own gardens are excellent options as well.
