<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3">I immediately fell in love with the make up look this Pretty Little Liar was sporting as it was one of those looks that you can confidently rock during both day and night! I decided to recreate it using the products I had in my makeup collection and share with you how I did!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3">The face was kept quite matte, but still glowy. Bronzed up a little bit with the subtlest amount of blush. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236541856?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3">The eyes are a lovely bronze, all over the lid and going up into the crease, maintaining that V shape in the outer corners. Paired with a brow bone highlight and some bold lashes, this eye make up is definitely appropriate all year round!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236548478?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3">The lips were a subtle baby pink with a glossy shine. Very natural and girly and appropriate for all age groups of makeup lovers! However, this is the kind of eye make up that can carry any lip color, whether it's a nude or a dark burgundy. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236549386?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">This week I hit my first big milestone since starting my YouTube channel - <strong>1,000 subscribers</strong>!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">I decided to throw a little giveaway to thank all my subscribers that got me there and to celebrate. For this, I figured I'd give away a Sleek eyeshadow palette that the winner will be able to choose. Since I'm unemployed and on a budget (read: totally broke almost all the time), I opted for Sleek because I know the quality is great and the color options are vast without it being overwhelming to my bank account. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">I received the "<em>Oh So Special</em>" palette from my best friend a few weeks ago and it's been my most-reached-for product in the past month. The shades are lovely and perfect for this time of year. Not only that, but they are also not chalky and very blendable. Here's what this palette looks like:</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">You can find all the details for entering the giveaway in the description box of my Giveaway video! Good luck if you choose to enter!</span></p>

</div>Tips on Losing Weight // Getting Fit [Part Two]tag:www.glam-express.com,2014-06-07:6612347:BlogPost:519542014-06-07T12:54:23.000ZZerinahttps://www.glam-express.com/profile/Zerina
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Quite some time ago, I did a post about the <a href="http://www.glam-express.com/profiles/blogs/top-10-tips-for-getting-fit-part-one" target="_blank">Top Ten Tips for Getting Fit</a>.

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Quite some time ago, I did a post about the <a href="http://www.glam-express.com/profiles/blogs/top-10-tips-for-getting-fit-part-one" target="_blank">Top Ten Tips for Getting Fit</a>. I only covered the first five and left the other half for another post so it wasn't too long and overwhelming. It's been six months since and I'm finally bringing you all the rest of the tips - no less important than the first five in the old post. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">So, to recap, the first time, I talked about: </span><br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">(1) Mindset (2) Setting Goals (3) Avoiding Ketosis (4) The Scale (5)Why Build Muscle?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">This second part has more to do with actual physical activity. So, let's get started, shall we?</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236528894?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Hydrating is extremely important!</span> <br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Drink half of your body weight in oz (if you're 125lbs, you should be drinking around 62oz of water daily)!</span><br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">70% of the human body is made of water - we need it to maintain overall health.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">The colder the water is, the better. You're going to be burning more calories by warming up the water.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Do it for the beautiful skin!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236528993?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Nutrition is either going to make you or break you.</span><br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Nutrition : Exercise = 70 : 30!</span><br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Weight loss friendly food can taste amazing!</span><br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Carbohydrates : Protein : Fats = 60 : 30 : 10!</span><br/> <span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236529217?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Cardio is not enough!!!</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">You will only get a smaller version of the way you look like right now.</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">You will lose fat, but you will also lose muscle.</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Weight training first, then cardio. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236534288?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Limit your cardio workouts!</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) is your best friend.</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">If you like the treadmill, make sure to watch <a href="http://youtu.be/3IMhaa4HzU8" target="_blank">THIS</a>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236534798?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750"/></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Start slow and pay attention to the technique.</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Divide targeted body areas into separate days!</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Skip the ab training in the beginning - your core is already engaged enough.</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Targeted fat loss does NOT exist!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">That brings us to the end! If you'd like to see the video with everything explained in a bit more detail, it will be linked down below. Feel free to ask any questions you may have!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Recently, my best friend visited me for a few days and brought me some amazing makeup goodies from London, which I've been trying out and incorporating into my everyday looks. My favorite gift by far is the Sleek "Oh So Special" palette which I used in this look. The thing just screams Spring to me!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">I've been having some crazy hair issues in the past month or so. Up until then, I had chestnut brown hair that came, pretty much, down to my waist. My ends were horrible and split and I was so bored of having "normal" hair, so I decided, after seeing a photo of the gorgeous <a href="http://instagram.com/p/moP3vGHxuz/" target="_blank">Evelina Barry</a>, that I would refresh my look…</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">I've been having some crazy hair issues in the past month or so. Up until then, I had chestnut brown hair that came, pretty much, down to my waist. My ends were horrible and split and I was so bored of having "normal" hair, so I decided, after seeing a photo of the gorgeous <a href="http://instagram.com/p/moP3vGHxuz/" target="_blank">Evelina Barry</a>, that I would refresh my look for spring and go Pastel Pink! I was SO excited and I went to my usual hair salon with photos of what I wanted done to ask if it was possible to achieve in one day <strong>so that I don't have to walk around blonde</strong> for a while and how much it would damage my wallet. The response I got was: "Yes, I can do this. Yes, you can have pastel pink hair in one day." So we set a date for almost a month later and I could barely wait...</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">I went in for my appointment at 11AM and left at 8:30PM, very unhappy with how everything turned out. Not only was it not pastel pink, but I was being convinced that my YELLOW hair in fact "had a pink shine in the light". For anyone wondering, yes I did pay. Why? Because I'm just a nice person and I hate conflict. So, let me just go through what my poor hair went through that day.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">First, I had a color stripping treatment done. The result was yellow roots and orange hair. After that, I had one more of those. The result was white roots, yellow hair, and orange ends. Not to mention my hair was insanely dry and kept tangling so much that I literally CRIED while it was being combed. I have a high pain threshold, but this was unbearable, I promise. After that, the verdict was that I'd need yet another color stripping treatment, but that it would totally annihilate my hair so that proceeding with one more wasn't recommended. Instead I was told I would have pastel pink hair and the ends would be just a bit darker, but most would be trimmed anyway. Of course, I said that was fine. So we continued this journey with a neutralizing dye that was pretty much between a grey and an ashy blonde color. After that was done, they applied the mixture of the hot pink dye and hair mask to my wet hair. As far as I know, from the videos I've seen on this, it's supposed to be dye + conditioner onto dry hair, but oh well, I'm not the professional. After leaving it in for just 15-20 minutes, they rinsed it out. Again, I've seen that this is supposed to stay in for at least 2 hours, but, again, what do I know... After my hair was dry, I was on the verge of tears - I was blonde. Not even remotely pastel pink. So I said "Do it again." And they did. The result was still far from what I came in there to get, but at least it wasn't completely blonde. I was exhausted and angry and spent the next few hours in front of a mirror telling myself that I love how it turned out, although I hated it in all honesty. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Here's what it looked like - far too yellow for my taste.</span></p>
<p><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236578757?profile=original" width="750" class="align-center"/></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">But I got used to it! The first time I washed my hair after all this, all the pink vanished and I was left with a yellow head. I do not like being a blonde, I don't think it's flattering on me, so I purchased some purple hair dye from the Garnier Olia line and dyed my hair that same night. Now I don't know if it's because the dye sucked, or my hair was treated so much in a short time, or the fact that I dyed freshly washed hair - but the purple also washed out in a matter of days and I was left with a total mess on my head. However, I decided to wait at least 3 weeks before re-dying it so I could at least give it some time to rest, if that makes any sense. </span></p>
<p><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236579209?profile=original" width="480" class="align-center"/></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Which brings me to this video, showing you how I'm dying my hair dark purple using a different brand of dye - Schwarzkopf Nectra Color in #499 Dark Cherry. I would definitely recommend this product. It was extremely easy to work with as it spread out so nicely in the hair. I only needed one box for my whole head, whereas the previous Garnier dye I used, I needed two full boxes and I still had patches that were un-dyed because it wouldn't spread throughout the hair.</span></p>

Most of these ingredients you can probably already find in your kitchen, and if not, they are very cheap.

<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"> After you've combined all those ingredients together, you should be left with a thick yellow paste with granules of chickpeas that will later exfoliate your skin.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Something like this:</span></p>
<p><img src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236518107?profile=original" width="750" class="align-center"/></p>
<center><strong><a rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a></strong></center>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"> You can use your fingers to apply the mask all over your face, but I prefer to use a brush so it doesn't stain my nails. Turmeric is very pigmented and if you're not careful, it can stain your skin and clothes yellow, so make sure you don't use it in excessive amounts - one teaspoon is enough! Also, turmeric and chickpeas combined can inhibit hair growth, so DO NOT put the mask over your eyebrows! </span></p>

<center><strong><a rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a></strong></center>
<p> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3"> After you've got your whole face coated with a thick layer of the mask, leave it on to work its magic for 10-15 minutes. If you have more of a fair skin tone, 10 minutes is enough. For those of you with a darker skin tone, you can easily go up to even 25 minutes. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Rinse with lukewarm water and give your face a little exfoliating session, so massage the chickpea granules all over your skin to get rid of dead skin cells. After that, follow up with your favorite face cleanser and if you still feel like you have some yellow tint to your skin, use a micellar makeup remover or a toner and wipe your face with a cotton pad - this will get all the yellowness out and you will be left with glowing and soft skin. </span></p>

I hope you give this a try, it will definitely improve your skin, no matter what your problems are. </span></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Hello!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Valentine's Day is in a couple days! Who's excited?! To be honest, I'm not. I'm not indulging in any sweets so what kind of Valentine's Day would that be anyway? </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">No, all jokes aside, I'm totally impartial to this…</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Hello!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Valentine's Day is in a couple days! Who's excited?! To be honest, I'm not. I'm not indulging in any sweets so what kind of Valentine's Day would that be anyway? </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">No, all jokes aside, I'm totally impartial to this holiday. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">In this video, I show you the perfect eye look for Valentine's Day! This look can be paired either with a soft lip for a nice and girly look or with a darker lip in the same color family for those who like to bring a little bit more edge and personality. It's suitable for both day and night!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">The pink hued eyeshadows through the crease are very subtle, which lets your pretty eyes do all the flirting necessary! Feel free to <b>pucker up for that goodnight kiss</b> as well because both of these lip products are 100% non-transferable! </span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">I've been a little bored with doing wearable tutorials so I was glad to be a part of a Zodiac Collaboration this month and get my creative juices flowing!

<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">This time I wanted to share something a little bit less wearable, unless you are up for rocking this fierce black lip! I was part of a collaboration on the Once Upon A Time TV Show characters and I chose Belle as my inspiration. I wanted to do something very soft and girly with the eyes, and then take it to the next level with an edgy lip color.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">First of all, I wanted to really showcase how amazing my new foundation is with a little side-by-side comparison! It's the Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation in the lightest shade and it's the absolute, perfect match for my skin color! I'm so pleased with this product that I'm planning on doing a special video review on it.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">I got these <em><strong>KLAPP Hydrogel Eye Patches</strong></em> from Russia and I really like using them. However, I'm almost out and these tend to be expensive! So, I did some online research and I came across a great <em><strong>Sonya Dakar</strong></em> recipe for <em><strong>Frozen Organic Eye</strong> <strong>Patches.</strong></em><strong> </strong>Now, if that name doesn't convince you that these are something to be tried out, then I don't know what will! However, I made a few tweaks to the ingredients to put my own spin on this DIY. So, let's get to it!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Before you start, keep in mind that the higher the percentage of actual Aloe Vera in your gel, the better! The gel I used also had <em><strong>Vitamin E</strong></em> and <em><strong>Tea Tree Oil</strong></em>.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Let's very quickly go over the main benefits of each ingredient to your skin!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><strong>COCONUT OIL </strong>sinks in deep, conditions, moisturizes, and softens the skin. Not only does it do that, but it also softens and shrinks wrinkles and acts as an antioxidant to prevent cellular aging!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br/> <strong>ALOE VERA</strong> is full of antioxidants and is commonly known as the <em>plant of immortality.</em> This plant is a natural road to ageless skin. It improves the natural firmness of your skin and minimizes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by improving the elasticity of the skin. Not to mention that it also lightens the skin to counteract those pesky dark circles most of us have!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br/> The external use of <strong>OMEGA 3 OIL </strong>has been said to protect the skin from damage. It prevents the release of enzymes that destroy collagen, thus fighting against the loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles!<br/></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><font face="georgia, palatino"><b>FLAXSEED</b></font><strong style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"> OIL </strong><font face="georgia, palatino">is used in cosmetics in order to moisturize and smooth the skin. It reduces the dull look of skin and softens fine lines. This oil also contains Omega 3 fatty acids.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;"><br/> <strong style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">ROSE WATER </strong><font face="georgia, palatino">is filled with vitamins and antioxidants, thus preventing signs of aging. It nourishes the skin and adds a beautiful glow. It has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.</font></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">There's no science to this part:</span><br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Just mix all of the ingredients together! You should be left with a very gooey and yellowish paste.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="664" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236512232?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="664"/></p>
<center><strong><a rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a></strong></center>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">After you're done mixing everything, it's time to grab your cotton pads that you've cut in half and load the mixture on one side of each half. Be very generous with this, and don't worry if it's very thick because we are going to be freezing these in the end! This is what you should be left with. Be careful because this part can get a little messy.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"></p>
<p><img width="750" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236512317?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="750" class="align-center"/></p>
<center><strong><a rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a></strong></center>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">The last step in this preparation phase is to pop these into the freezer for about <em><strong>10-15 minutes</strong></em>! After that, you're ready to apply the patches underneath your eyes. The optional step is to spritz them with some rose water before you apply. I did this because my fridge smells like cabbage (haha) and I didn't want to keep smelling that on my face! You should keep these on for about <em><strong>20 minutes</strong></em>. In the meantime, go paint your nails or watch some YouTube videos! Relax and pamper yourself...</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br/> <br/> <span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">As soon as you take these off, your under eye area should look brighter, feel refreshed and moisturized! <strong>DO NOT RINSE OFF THE RESIDUE! </strong>Instead, just pat it in with a clean cotton pad and apply your usual eye cream to the area. Do this once a week and your skin will thank you!</span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Hello lovely people!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">I was watching the last performance episode of The X Factor US the other day and I absolutely fell in love with Demi's make up! This gorgeous purple and emerald green combination is by far the most perfect look for us girls with brown eyes!…</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Hello lovely people!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">I was watching the last performance episode of The X Factor US the other day and I absolutely fell in love with Demi's make up! This gorgeous purple and emerald green combination is by far the most perfect look for us girls with brown eyes!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Here is a snapshot of Demi in the episode:</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="540" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236496325?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="540"/></p>
<center><strong><a rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a></strong></center>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Now, as for my recreation of the look, I decided not to use false lashes and leave the lower lash line clear of any eyeshadow as I feel that looks much better on me.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">For this look I used a Sephora palette that I got as a birthday present from my lovely other half. I don't know the name or if it's still available, but it came out around New Year's last year. It doesn't really matter what products you use as long as the colors are similar. I also used my sample Clinique High Impact mascara and an H&M Eyebrow Gel.</span></p>

<p style="text-align: left;"><span class="font-size-4"><strong><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL:</span></strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Prime your eyes with your favorite eyeshadow primer.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Apply a purple eyeshadow in the entire crease and around the outer corner of your eye.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Blend the edges!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Apply an emerald green eyeshadow to the lid.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Pack on a bit more on the outer edge to make it darker and more intense.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Re-apply and darken the purple in the crease.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Pick up a bit of a red-toned shadow on your blending brush and blend the edge of the purple eyeshadow to defuse it towards the brow.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Apply a subtle highlight on your brow bone.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Put on a few coats your favorite mascara on both the top and bottom lashes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Fill in your eyebrows the way you normally would.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">Apply some eyebrow gel to make sure they don't budge during the day/night.</span></li>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Here's how lazy I am, but don't judge, okay?</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Here's how lazy I am, but don't judge, okay?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">I planned this post (video) in April! Wrote down everything I wanted to say while having coffee in my favorite cafe in the lovely and now, very missed Prague. It's embarrassing how long it has taken me to finally sit down in front of my dear Canon and film this. And now that I've mentioned Cafe Coffee Day, I'm having insane cravings for their Homemade Lemonade with Lime.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Here are a few screenshots of the main parts of the video so you can have a glance at what I covered in this first segment. Trying to categorize a little bit, I've covered the less hardcore and factual parts now, and left the nitty-gritty for the next five tips which will be going up <a href="http://www.youtube.com/thebelleadventures" target="_blank">here</a> on the 24th of this month.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span><img width="574" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236494106?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="574"/><br/></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">"You need to accept this change as a change in your lifestyle and mentally prepare yourself for the journey you're about to take! This is going to be a big, long, tough battle where it's going to be YOU vs YOU! At times it's going to seem impossible and the first two weeks are going to be the hardest! Trust me, you're going to need a lot of motivation."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img width="574" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236494174?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="574"/></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">"What I mean by setting goals, is setting realistic goals. You need to know what you're capable of. Whenever you start, you need to start with the end result in mind. Set up a reward system for yourself! Cheat days are okay!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img width="574" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236494193?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="574"/></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">"This is the process in which your brain tells your body to disintegrate muscle in order to feed itself. This happens because of starvation! The brain cannibalizes the body! Your brain gets used to this, it expects you to be in this mode so your body stores whatever you eat as fat! This is your brain telling it to get prepared for the next starvation period!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img width="574" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236494280?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="574"/></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">"The scale doesn't give you nearly enough information about your body! You need to increase your muscle mass in order to look toned. Instead, measure yourself and take progress pictures once a month! This way you will see results better."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img width="574" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236494402?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="574"/></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">"More muscle equals burning more fat! Muscles burn three times the energy! Building muscle will NOT make you look like a buff female bodybuilder! That body takes years of intense training and a strict diet!"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div><div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3"> I'd say that this is pretty much like a "Intro to Fitness and Health" crash-course. You should watch it! Especially if you're one, or god forbid all of the following:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">- You think you will get somewhere with half-assed working out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">- You unmotivated but you whine about wanting a hot body all the time.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">- You have no idea how to keep being motivated for longer than a week.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">- You think skipping meals and playing your own version of the Hunger Games will help.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">- You obsess over the number on the display of your scale.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3"><b>And drum-roll for the worst one of all!</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">- You think females have no business lifting weights.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">A little disclaimer here:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">I'm being a bit overly dramatic. I used to be just like this before I started hitting the gym with my boyfriend who taught me everything I now know. So don't worry! You can learn how to properly work towards that slow-motion daydream of walking on the beach in a sexy little two-piece, salt in your hair, sun on your bronzed skin, turning heads with your perfect squatted-out tush, your toned arms, and that rock hard flat belly! I've spent years sitting on my ass, wishing hard to wake up fit, but not doing anything to get there. Don't be one of those people. Life is too short to be one of those people...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Click away. Watch it. Shoot me a question if you have one.</span></div>

<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Hello Everyone!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">As I've been seeing these headpieces absolutely everywhere in our lovely internet world, I knew I just had to have one!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span class="font-size-3" style="font-family: georgia, palatino;">Believe it or not, the toughest part of this DIY…</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Hello Everyone!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">As I've been seeing these headpieces absolutely everywhere in our lovely internet world, I knew I just had to have one!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Believe it or not, the toughest part of this DIY for me was finding the right flowers! I knew I wanted roses, and at first I planned on using red and yellow ones, but I couldn't find good quality fake roses that weren't an insane amount of money. I'd pretty much given up hope for my own rose head-crown... But then my mom called with news that she bought some as she'd went out of town, and they were completely perfect! </span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3"><span>This is the easiest way to make one of these. It is 100% foolproof, and that's a guarantee. I'm pretty sure my 2 year old cousin could master the art of this particular DIY!</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="599" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236493714?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="599"/></p>
<center><strong><a rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a></strong></center>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left; font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">Literally all you need is just the following three things:</span></p>
<ol>
<li><strong style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">The right headband: </strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">What I mean by "right" is any kind of headband that has something that the wired stems of the roses can grab onto so they don't move around. As you will see in the photo below, I went with a spiral headband that I got for less than $1.</span></li>
<li><strong style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">A good pair of scissors or pliers.</strong></li>
<li><strong style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: georgia, palatino;">The perfect roses:</strong></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3"><strong><br/></strong> For this to work, you want to make sure that the roses are neither too big nor too small. This is obviously going to depend on your taste and, quite frankly, the size of your head. But, the second, and probably most important thing, is that the roses must have wired stems. This is important because you won't be using any glue, so you want to make sure that the stems can be easily manipulated around the headband!</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="574" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236506486?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="574"/></p>
<center><strong><a rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a></strong></center>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">So, after you've trimmed the stems off your roses with your scissors or pliers, it's time to figure out the placement of the roses on the headband. Now, you want to make sure that you leave around 3 inches of stems so you can wrap them around the headband securely!</span><br/><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">There is no special way in doing this. I did all of mine differently, but made sure to wrap the stem around the rose on both sides, so in an infinity shape. It doesn't matter if this looks messy because you won't be able to see it once it's on your head.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img width="599" src="http://storage.ning.com/topology/rest/1.0/file/get/2236506507?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024" width="599"/></p>
<center><strong><a rel="nofollow" class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a></strong></center>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">This technique is going to allow you to further manipulate the roses just a bit after you've attached them to the headband, so you'll be able to turn them to the front if you'd like, or leave them facing upwards. It's totally up to you!</span><br/><span style="font-family: georgia, palatino;" class="font-size-3">When you've gone all around the headband, with the exception of the ends that are supposed to go behind your ears, you should be left with something like this in a matter of minutes:</span></p>
