Everything is Alright♥

My Absolute Favourite Song♥

Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.

Give me a reason to end this discussion,
To break with tradition.
To fold and divide.

Cause I hate the ocean, theme parks and airplanes,
Talking with strangers, waiting in line..
I'm through with these pills that make me sit still.
"Are you feeling fine?"
Yes, I feel just fine.

Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.

I'm sick of the things I do when I'm nervous
Like cleaning the oven or checking my tires
Or counting the number of tiles in the ceiling..
Head for the hills, the kitchen's on fire!

I used to rely on self-medication,
I guess I still do that from time to time.
But I'm getting better at fighting the future,
"Someday you'll be fine.."
Yes, I'll be just fine.

Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.

Give me a reason (I don't believe a word)
To end this discussion (of anything I've heard)
To break with tradition (they tell me that it's not so hard)
To fold and divide (it's not so hard)
So let's not get carried (away with everything)
Away with the process (from here to in-between)
of elimination (the long goodbye)
I don't want to waste your time.

Tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.
Oh please tell me that you're alright,
Yeah everything is alright.

(Alright)
Tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)
Yeah everything is alright. (Everything's fine)
Oh please tell me that you're alright, (Hi, everything's great)
Yeah everything is alright. 
(Everything's fine) [x4]

Get Organized!

Hai Pink Nerds,
So I was sitting in my room the other day looking fir a bobby pin. I knew I had hundreds of them but I couldn't find a single one. So I tore my room apart and re-organized! I found a bunch of new ways to store my hair accessories and jewelry and a week later, the organization is still working for me so I thought I'd share my ideas!

"Get Ready" Station

Keep all of your makeup, hair accessories  jewelry etc. in one area. That way your mornings will be so much quicker and easier to get through. 

Wig Organizer

Yes, this one does seem a little weird, doesn't it? But I don't really care because it works SOOOO well! If you have an old, cheap wig left over from Halloween that you'll probably never use again, throw it on a hook or a head stand and clip your hair accessories onto it. It actually works REALLY well!

Hat Hooks for Jewelry and Accesories

So I got this one from GL Magazine and I've been using this method for about 3 years now and it still works really well. Get a hat rack or a bunch of wall hooks from Walmart etc. and hang your jewelry and accessories off of the hooks, it works REALLY well and is super easy to use.

Roll up your belts for easy storage

Does anyone else find belts impossible to store? I cant hang them but I can't fold them so what do I do with them? Well I roll them up, tie an elastic around them and hang them in a hat rack/wall hook. There's no weird crease marks when you unroll them to wear them and they don't look as awkward as when they're just hanging in your closet.

Well I hope these tips helped!
Luff ya,

Nails*:

Dear Pink Nerds,
You may have noticed that I took a month break from blogging :/ But you also may have noticed that I'm back! What did I spend all that spare time doing when I wasn't blogging? Simple: I painted my nails and just in case I wanted to blog about them, I took pictures! Unfotunetly I didn't take a picture of every step so you'll just have to figure it out XD

Water Marbled!
Look it up on google images because

it's impossible to explain using only words(:

Striped!

1. Start with a base colour, wait for it to dry COMPLETELY.

2.Place thin strips of tape in a design on your nails.

3.Paint a coat black or white nailpolish over top.

4. Once the 2nd coat is almost dry, remove the strips of tape.

5. Add a top coat and voila! They're finished!

1. Paint a base colour onto your nails.

2. Once that coat is dry paint half of your ring finger

nail a contrasting colour.

3. Once those two layers are dry, use a nail art pen/art

deco polish and paint a diagonal stripe on your ring finger nail.

4. Using the same nail art pen/art deco polish, paint

horizontal stripes on the rest of your nails.

5. To make your mani last longer, add a top coat once

the rest is dry!

This one is my absolute favorite, but be sure to

give yourself plenty of time to do this design,

it takes a lot of patience!

1. Paint your nails black (or white for a different look)

2. Once that's dried, take a toothpick and dip it in

a brightly coloured nail polish.

3. Dot the colour on the bottom corner of each of your nails.

4. Do the same with several other colours until you're happy

with the look.

5. Add a top coat to make it last longer!

Similar to the Striped Summer Nails design
(http://meaghanh.blogspot.ca/2012/07/striped-summer-nail-design.html)
but with a twist.

1. Paint each of your nails sky blue.

2. Once the base colour has dried, paint a deep blue

sparkle nail polish onto half of the nail.

3. Paint a clear nail polish with silver sparkles onto

the other half of your nails.

4. Once that's dried, use a nail art pen/art deco polish

to paint a diagonal stripe onto each nail.

5. Add a top coat to make it last longer!

Ring finger mani!! This is one of the newest, biggest

trends in nail design. It's literally all over

fashion magazines and blogs everywhere!Anyway...

Option A
1.Paint all of your nails a purple, blue or pink colour.

2. Once that's dry, paint a sparkley 'deep sea' partially

see-through nail polish onto all of your nails

except your ring finger nail.

3. Once it's completely dried, add a top coat to prevent chips!

Option B

1. Paint your ring finger nail one colour.

2. Paint the rest of your nails another.

3. Add a top coat once it's dried to prevent chipping.

So that concludes my nail post for today.

The Wizard of Oz - Part 3

Dear Pink Nerds,
Last night I got my role for The Wizard of Oz! Of course I didn't excpect to be a lead since there are only 7 leads and the rest is mostly chorus, but I am very happy with my roles. I am a part of the chorus again but this year I'm actually going to get some singing lines etc. First off, I am a twister so I'll be in the tornado scene creating the image of the storm. Next I am an Ozian Polisher so I live in the land of Oz and I'll be singing 'The Merry Old Land of Oz' and I'm a Winkie which is one of the wicked Witch of the West's followers so I'll be in another musical number. Plus wherever they need chorus members etc. Also, I can't remember but I think she may have said that I'm a tree too but I'm not sure :P Haha, anyway, I'm SUPER excited for this year and I'll keep blogging about this and of course other stuff too!

The Wizard of Oz - Part 2

Dear Pink Nerds,
SOOO the way things work with the theatre company I auditioned for is that if you DON'T get a part they'd call you on your home phone but Monday night. If you don't get a phone call, it means YOU HAVE A PART and you recieve the part from the director on Thursday.
I haven't gotten a phone call and it's Tuesday night so, I have a part!! >.<
I'll let you all know who I'm playing by Friday!
Bai! :*

Perfect Skin? Impossible? I Think Not.

Dear Pink Nerds,
No, I haven't blogged since the dawn of time. And I'm sorry. But I've been busy, and lazy and spending time away from the computer. But hey, I'm back now. I just don't want to feel like I have to blog everyday so I'll just blog when I have something to blog about. Anyway, today's topic: skincare.

Skincare Myths

1. If you have oily skin you should wash your face as much as possible.

Could that statement be more wrong? No. If you over wash your face it will learn to produce more oil hourly. Instead, just stick to twice a day and DON'T freak out if you miss a rinse. If you wash your skin frequently but not fussily, your skin will adjust and over time, produce much less oil.

2. You should skip moisturizer if you have oily or combination skin.

Terrible myth. If you skip moisturizer, your skin will feel too dry and start producing more oil. Instead, just look for and oil free moisturizer that will keep your skin hydrated but not shiny. If your skin still gets shiny by noon, get a pressed powder from the drugstore (makes ya photo ready too! ;)) If you've got a few extra bucks, Physician's Formula may be slightly more pricey but it is great quality.

3. Stick to one product. Experimenting can result with drastic changes of skin type (i.e. from dry to sensitive to oily to combination in a matter of days)

Experimenting with products is the only way to find your perfect skin routine and you can change that routine whenever you want! It is true that if you keep switching, your products may become less effective but it's the only way you'll ever find your favorite products. So switch up your routine whenever you want.

DIY Facial Masks (Personalized for YOU)

Reduce Redness - Soothe irritated skin with an ultra-gentle cooling mask.

• 1/2 cucumber
• 2 tbsp. aloe vera gel
• handful chopped mint

Peel and chop the cucumber. Using a fork, mash the cucumber, aloe, and mint into a gel-like substance, and then smooth all over your face. Leave on for 20 minutes, and rinse with tepid water. The cooling cucumber and fresh mint will calm irritation and splotchiness; the aloe will leave skin hydrated and refreshed!

Clear Acne - This spot treatment will start healing zits overnight!

• 1/2 cup plain steel-cut oatmeal
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1 egg

Cook oatmeal as directed on package. Let cool, and then stir lemon juice and egg. Dot mixture on pimples and leave on overnight. (Store leftovers in the fridge for up to a week.) The oatmeal's antioxidants will bring down swelling while the acid in the lemon kills bacteria in your pores. The vitamin E in the egg will tighten skin so it appears perfectly smooth.

Soften Up - Give your dry patches a sweet shot of moisture.

• juice of lime
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1 chopped peach

Peel the peach, then mash it up in a bowl and pour off juice. Add lime juice and oil to the mashed peach and mix with a fork. Apply a thin layer all over skin and leave on for 10 minutes. Peaches are one of the most hydrating fruits, lime helps to brighten skin, and olive oil softens dry patches to give your face a pretty gleam.

Get Glowy - Looking dull? This yummy scrub will reveal your pretty radiance!

• 1/2 cup chopped strawberries
• 1 tbsp. milk
• 1 tbsp. rice powder

Crush strawberries with a spoon and stir in milk and rice powder (fin it in the baking section). Gently scrub mixture onto face in a circular motion, then rinse. The rice powder, strawberry seeds, and lactic acid in the milk will slough away dull skin, leaving your face fresh. Plus the vitamin C in the berries is super-nourishing!

So clear up buttercup and get ready for back to school, end of summer or whatever the fall means for you!

Put the Bang in Bangarang

Dear Pink Nerds,
I have shared the song 'Bangarang' with you all severall times and I am still obsessed with it. But do you know that recently I have fallen in love with blunt bangs? And, I'm not the only one! Blunt long bangs immediatly make your eyes pop and they define your cheeckbones too. They look best on oval face shapes but almost everyone can pull it off. No matter what length or texture your hair is your bound to find a haircut with blunt bangs that is right for you. Don't believe me? Just look at this!

 

Kk, more posts to come!
