High School.

My 1st week of school was great. I though high school was supposed to be scary and filled creeps, but no it's the same as middle school in my opinion. How was your experience?

School Shopping Management.

Later on today I am going school shopping which I am extremely excited about. Everyone usually gets excited to go school shopping especially if you are a girl. Shopping is our life as girls and I just wanted to share some of my tips and tricks (so scroll down so we can get started).

This is a picture of one of the biggest Forever 21's.

What to get:
My #1 go to place is Forever 21 the reason why is because there are low prices Oh, and you definitely cant forget the gorgeous clothes. I try to shop smart and get things that I not only like but that I love. What I expect to get today is:

1. White V-Neck
2. Black Body-Con Skirt
3. (Any Color) Body-Con Skirt
4.  Statement Jewelry
5. Cardigan 

My #2 go to place is PacSun it is a little more expensive but its worth it because there you can find some really unique clothes. A few weeks ago I got some striped white and blue pants with a ripped detail in certain places. What I expect to get today is:

1.  Ripped Jeans
2.  (A Few) Shirts
3. Shoes

My #3 Choice which is last but not least Hollister. It is even more expensive than the last pick and I love Hollister, but when I go there I try to pick out things that don't look like they came from there. All throughout school there is always a copycat I know it's childish but who wants to dress alike? What I expect to get today is:

1. Regular Jeans
2. Cardigan
3. Cami
4. Ruffled Tee
5. Brown Belt

Money:

I do not know your finatial situation but I am just going to tell you the amount of money I usually get. There should be $100 for essentials, $50 for underwear, $100 for jewelry, $30 for hair acessories and the leftover money for anything else you may want or need.

$200 (or more) Mom

+ $200 (or more) Dad

+ $100 (or more) Grandma & Grandpa (Moms Parents)

+ $100 (or more) Grandma & Grandpa (Dads Parents)

$600 (or more) Total 

Open House!

You'd think Open House was a great way to start the school year, Right? Wrong! I didnt see the two people I wanted to see. I didnt see my crush or my best friend. Story of my life it sucks but I will live hopefully through High School.

Back to School Essentials: 101 Back to School

Back to School Essentials:

1. White V-Neck: it is inexspensive and can be found anywhere. My favorite is at Forever 21 and it is only $4.80. (There is a link to the tee)

2. Dark Wash Jeans: You can dress them up or dress the down for a lazy day. My Favorite is at Hollister but if you prefer a different brand it is also great.

3. Cami: You should have one that is white and one that is black because it looks great under any shirt. 

4. Boat Shoes: Boat shoes like Sperrys are comfortable and you can walk for hours in them. If you dont like or have Sperrys you can wear Toms which are also comfortable and look great.

5. Stud Earrings: You can wear them with anything and a lady should always wear earring. 

6. Button Up Top: Casual cute and fun 

7. Headband: You can just brush your hair look put together

8. Light Weight Cardigan: Its comfotable and it can make a plain v-neck look better

9. Flowy/Loose Top: Its comfortable and cute

10. Belt: Completes an outfit

You Know.

You know those days when you are at your friends house and watching a movie and eating oreos doesn't sound to bad. Yet being alone and doing the same makes you feel like a loner. Yet Coco Chanel says "Don't spend time beating on a wall, hoping to transform it into a door. Take  that as you'd like but every party, dance, football game and club I am invited to I will attend. It's worth having the fun I mean, isn't high school supposed to be the best time of you life?  And school starts in 3 weeks so you better have fun and wear those shorts before the teachers are calling your mom because of dress code violations. Short post but well wrote.

I meet my neighbors and they are really cool I think I have some new friends. My cousin comes back from Florida Tuesday which will be fun to hear what she did. Well that's about it for my life today. I am starting school shopping which I love shopping. My school preparation are new clothes, nail done, hair done, teeth whiten-ed, contacts, and maybe even getting my eye brows arched for the 1st time. Sounds fun? Yet it is very stressful to complete this very long list.

D.I.Y

Have an old tee your willing to sacrifice? Well reuse and recycle them. It's easy to diy a necklace out of an old tee. My creations were based on these picture. How did I make it? Read the steps below to do so. Some of the steps are step-by-step and some steps are written in a paragraph for people who learn differently.

Necklace 1
Step 1:  Take your shirt and cut several 1 inch wide strips of fabric from your shirt (I used 5 strips)
Step 2: Stretch each strip of fabric by pulling on it to make the strip longer
Step 3: Slide one a metal bead (or a bead of your choice) onto each strip of fabric
Step 4: Tie the strips together with a tight knot
Step 5: Cut a 1 inch wide 3 inch long strip to be sown over the knot so the necklace looks store bought

Necklace 2:
For the second necklace take a ribbon and braid it in with with fabric (that you have stretched and braided) stretch different pieces of fabric less to make the draped look.

Necklace 3:
 Then last but not least take an old chain from one of your old not used necklaces take it and braid different colored pieces of the shirt you've cut, and braid them together on top of the chain and tie to secure.

No Pierods.

Watching "Pretty Little Liars" and "Jane By Design" after the worst day ever doesn't cushion the blow of being confronted and not being able to be honest because of where you loyalty lies if it's because of love I no longer love, my heart is shattered due to your life choices I am not who you think I am I wear a mask to hide my feelings and shield me from the lies which will no longer exist after today this isn't a sad story its my sad life this being the most honest post on this blog the truth can't hide itself its only us, who make it my eyes aren't red from what you accused them of they are red because my eyes are burning from my tears where does this end no I'm not adding periods because there is no end to emotion no way to began and no way my life will end over your mistake I am not a backstabber I am a shield mark it in your calenders the worst day ever 7.31.2012

Daria is on MTV right now (it's so cool) #RetroMTV. I've never heard of this show before but its good so turn to MTV or you can buy the series.

Sparkles & Glitter

Today,  I am trying out for cheerleading but sports aren't the only way to stand out you can also incorporate bright colors and sparkles. This is for you if you feel as though you weren't notice or you want to take on a new trend.

Hair Care

I have been trying to grow my hair out forever and this best video I've found. Yet I've also decided to start taking biotin pills/vitamin because it increases hair growth, help your nails grow and gives you healthy skin. Before I try anything I usually research it so if you are trying to grow your hair out I also recommend leave in conditioner it made my hair 10 times more healthy, and my hair stylist really notice the results it make my hair grow a little faster and I hardly flat iron my hair I usually blow dry it straight.

Ghost?

Do you believe in ghost? I do and I'm a pretty rational person and I can honestly say I believe ghost are real. My ghost story is wierdly scary and it hunts me when I see little girls that look like the one I remember. When I was younger I'd spend time at my grandparents house like lots of people. While there there was a little girl I thought was real that I continusly played with though I am not going to go in dept. Yet I will if you tell me your ghost stories.


*I DIDNT PROOF READ THIS BEFORE POSTING IT.*

You are a SNOB.

YOLO (which means you only live once). Why did I say something so random? Because most people live there life being snobby and being rude to people who wear a size bigger than a (double zero) 00. You can be sophisticated without being snobby. This is dedicated to this caucasian lady at  the mall who got mad at me and my friends for having fun. If  this who you are I feel bad for you, some people cant tell when they're being snobby so here's 5 ways to be able to tell you are snobby.
1. If you say "I'm to classy" you are snobby.
2. If you only hang out with wealthy people (you are a gold digger and a snob).
3. You think tattoos aren't classy.
4. If you judge everyone you meet or see.
5. Everything you wear has to be over $50 you are a snob.

Dealing with your race.

In the summer I look like any other african american with long curly hair, but in the winter you can tell I am mixed. Usually everyone in the world wants mixed kids to pick a side but I've never had to pick a side. I feel bad for people who do have to pick a side on if they want to be black or white. It's not fair I know but its true my opinion is to be yourself and never pick a side try to stay neutral.

Miley Movie: LOL

Okay, So if you read my other blog "Amora Moda" you know I love Miley Cyrus and I am happy to say ahe has a new movie coming soon. Wanna know the name of it? The name is "LOL" lets keep our fingers crossed it hits the box office.

Growing Your Hair Out.

I've looked at lots of article and videos to try and figure out the best way to grow my hair out. I figure out excise, hair hydration and much more. I'll try to make this information interesting and short so you don't get bored. So here's 6 easy tips:

1. Hair Hydration:
Keep your hair hydrated with leave in conditioner and deep conditioning. Don't wash you hair everyday because your natural hair oils help your hair to grow and also keeps you hair hydrated. Absolutely no shampoo for at least 2 months or a hydrating conditioner after you shampoo.

2. Hot Tools:
Avoid using hot tools like flat irons and curls. If you must use them use them once or twice a week.

3. Dye:
Don't dye your hair because it leaves hair dry and unhealthy. Try staying out in the sun (Use sunscreen if you don't want sunburn)to lighten your hair or using a DIY Honey treatment.

4. Eat Healthy:
What you put in your body matters and effects your hairs health. If you eat healthier your hair will be healthier. Eat foods with Biotin, Vitamin A and Vitamin B.

5. Air Dry:
Air dry you hair because blow dryers are harsh to soaking wet hair. An alternative is to simply wait ten minute's after you wash your hair so there is less breaking of your hair and then only use cool air. Cool air seals fly aways and is healthier to your hair.

6.Stain Pillow Case:
Sleep on satin to keep hair from breaking off. If you cant afford one tuck in the ends of your hair and your hair is sure to grow.

7. Wear updos more:
Wear your hair up to keep your hair from creating friction against your clothes. Friction tears you hair off.

I use all of these tips and I see the results because the results are obvious.

*SORRY IT DIDNT POST IT JUST SAVED TO DRAFTS*

Fun?

Before I workout I decided to blog about my day. So I packed today because we are taking a trip and I'm excited to go because Its a suprise and I have no idea where we are going (But I hope where ever it is I get to go shopping). Also on the other hand I wish my friends could come but my mom said no (because they always get to go) I hope there isnt a dull moment. Then again not knowing where we are going makes it so much more exciting. Another exciting thing is Pretty Little Liars it came on tonight and I cant wait for the next episode. I hope Hanna (Ashley Benson) does get injured after being in the church with that wierd-o. Ashley Benson is my favorite actress, after Emma Stone of course I absolutely love them. And I have new neighbors and they are so sweet theres even a girl my age over there, But I truly need to hang out with my friends soon I miss them so much.

                         *Well bye for now I have to work out sadly hopefully something more exciting tomorrow.
