Sick Makeup:

The past few days I have been horribly sick with a cold. This means little to no makeup for me. When I'm sick I hate packing on a whole bunch of makeup that makes me feel more gross than I already am. Does anyone else feel this way? If so, here are a few tips on how to wear makeup when you're sick and also just a few tips on how to get better!

Tip #1: Wear light foundation! If you wear heavy foundation you're going to be smothered under all of the germs and snot that you have going on!

Tip #2: Skip the lipstick and go with your favorite chapstick. If you're sick and feeling dehydrated your lips may start peeling. You don't want to put pretty lipstick on gross peeling lips! They need the TLC that chapstick will give them anyways.

Tip #3: Wear waterproof mascara. If you decide that you want to try putting on some mascara, use waterproof! There's a chance that you're going to sneeze or cry from your allergies and you don't want mascara running down your face.

Those are my top three sick makeup tips! Now I have a few tips on how to beat the cold!

Tip #1: Stay indoors. I know you might have to go to school or work, but it's really not fair to the people around you that don't want to get sick. If your boyfriend, husband, sibling, or parents decide they want to come over to nurse you back to health, hey, it's on them. Plus, if you go out in public you may run into someone with a weak immune system that gets seriously ill from a small cold.

Tip #2: Drink plenty of liquids! And I mean good liquids! Such as water, juices, and maybe someone could be special nice and bring you a yummy Jamba Juice smoothie? They have a few smoothies that are perfect for the sick. I've tried "The Coldbuster" - It has peaches, bananas, and orange juice plus two boosts that are made to cure the common cold! Or you can get your favorite Jamba smoothie with a few boosts in them! The best boosts for being sick are the Immunity Boost and the Antioxidant Power Boost!

Tip #3: Rest! Resting is a big part of getting to feel better! You should at least get 8 hours of sleep but get 10-12 if you can!

Tip #4: If the symptoms persist and seem as if they're not going away, call your doctor. I know most of us hate going to the doctors, I do too, but sometimes we just have to buck up and deal with it. Besides, your doctor may be able to prescribe something for you without you having to go into their office!

Those are all of my tips for getting better!

If you're sick too, know that my heart goes out to you. I have been this way for the past 3 days! I keep having yucky sneezing attacks too! Ugh! I'm off of here to try and convince my dad to go get me a Jamba Juice smoothie because typing about them sure made me crave one! Ha ha!

My Favorite Hair Products:

Hello everyone! Sorry I have not posted in awhile, I have been really sick and concentrating on school! Today I found some extra time and figured I would do a post! I am super excited about this post because I get to share a little exciting news! Yay!

Today's post will be about my favorite hair products! Lately, since I have been feeling really icky my favorite hair products have not been in use. I have mainly been throwing my hair in ponytails to just get it out of my face. Plus, I have not been wearing a lot of makeup because when I'm sick and put makeup on I feel extra gross and suffocated. Weird I know! Ha ha!

Anyways - Here are my favorite hair products!


#1) Nexxus Shampoo and Conditioner

I love the smell of Nexxus products! They can be pricey but if you buy them in bulk, you save a few dollars! I normally buy my Nexxus products at Target! The shampoo and conditioner are my favorites!

#2) Redken Straight Line 05 - Heat Resistant Straightening Balm

This balm smells amazing! I wish they had it in a body wash! Ha ha! I think I paid about $10 for mine at a local salon. I put it on right before I straighten my hair and it helps to control frizz! Great product!

#3) Goody Ouchless Elastics

These elastics are the best! They're not all that expensive - you can probably find them at your local Walmart or Target. I normally wear them in black or in colorful color! They last me a long time and they really are ouchless!


Okay, now for the exciting news! As some of you may know, I am a HUGE fan of Kandee Johnson! For those of you who don't even know who Kandee Johnson is, I recommend looking up her blog KandeeJ or her mommy blog Kandeeland! Both are great! Anyways, Kandee is a makeup artist/Youtube guru who I follow religiously! I entered her recent big giveaway and won her Twitter prize! I am beyond excited!! So, if Kandee ever reads this - Kandee, thank you sooo much! I love you and am so excited to use the flat iron! xoxoxo

I hope you all enjoy my "favorites!" I wish I could post photos but my computer isn't allowing me to today and I have no idea why!! Ugh! On to fixing the problem and cleaning my bathrooms! Oh how I live the fancy life...lol!



Xoxo, Sarah.
