Everywhere you look you will see cute fun headbands and hair accessory's. It may be hard to get into this trend but just take step back and try a small flower here or a peacock feather there. You will feel a bit out of place at first but that is OK...fashion is all about taking risks. Sometimes its a hit sometimes it a miss but as long as you have more "hits" than "misses" you are on the right fabulous track!
For ideas check out Shop Band Do this website has some great hair pieces that are amazing! Just a heads up some of the pieces are a bit pricey but that is OK. Just take a look and then go to Hobby Lobby, Ross, Target, Michaels, or any craft store and re-create these looks for a fraction of the cost.
Warning: remember to not go over the top or put anything on your head that a toddler would wear. Be sure it adds to the outfit in a classy/trendy way! Be bold, be daring, just be careful you don't want to look like a bird just landed on your head!

How to pick the right summer color for your skin tone
Picking the right color for YOU is super easy!
The hot colors for summer are yellow, pinks (light or dark), lime, slate blue, orange, and white.
What season are you? Use this list as a guideline for picking the right summer shade for your complexion.
Spring - Spring complexions generally have strawberry colored or light red hair, freckles, and blue or green eyes. Spring people look great in warm tones. Try yellow, gold, peach, and light pink. Only use dark colors as accessories, not as your main piece.
Summer - Summer people usually have natural blonde (or in my case, "assisted blonde" hair ha ha) or brunette hair and light colored eyes. For dressing, pick soft pastel colors and neutrals. Purples and blues are great go-to colors for summer complexions. Steer clear of neon colors.
Fall - Fall skin tones mostly have brunette or red hair with soft brown eyes. Pick colors such as orange, gold, and browns. Stay away from dark blue tones.
Winter - Winter complexions usually have dark brown or black hair with dark eyes. Winter skin tones should stick to stiff colors such as black, white, dark blue, red and bright pink. Avoid light tones in the orange or beige family.

5 easy ways to green your beauty routine in a snap
Sometimes thinking about going green seems like a daunting task. Here are 5 new beauty products that are amazing and the added bonus is they are not harmful to the environment and will not break your already fragile bank account.
Lets go head to toe:
If you are in a pinch and have no time to wash your luscious locks, try Naturia Dry Shampoo. This one of the best dry shampoos out there, and it's also made with ingredients that will not harm the environment.
Next, I would highly recommend Kiehl Body Lotion. This is one of the best lotions on the market. Its heavy, but soaks in fast and gives you a healthy shiny look to your skin. I gave this to my mom for Christmas, and she loves it! Not only are all the ingredients safe, but the bottle is made from recycled materials...A win-win!
You can ask any of my friends and family; it is a running joke that I am obsessed with sunscreen. I am that girl at the beach that is bathing in 75 SPF and making sure everyone around me is covered in "block"! Sayer makes a great light weight sunscreen for your face that you can use everyday before you put on your make-up. This organic sunscreen/moisturizer will not cause breakouts and is ideal for every skin type.
Its time for a pedi!! My favorite "at home pedi" is to soak your feet in a bin of orange juice for 15 min. Then, make a mix of 2 cups sugar and 1 cup extra virgin olive oil, and scrub away (some recipes call for mint or different scents but those items are just for aesthetics and experience purposes)! The OJ helps to soften your skin and the sugar and oil helps to exfoliate the dry skin away. Its organic and cheap!
Last but definitely not least, your toes!! I recommend trying Honeybee Gardens polish. There are a lot of great water-based colors on the market so keep trying them until you find one brand that fits your personality best. The best thing about eco-friendly polish is you can take it off with vodka. You can take off your polish and have a cosmo without even skipping a beat!
