Classic Smokey Eye How To

One of my favorite eye looks is a classic smokey eye. I think it look great on just about anyone. Today, I'm going to give you a step by step guide on how to create your own classic smokey eye!

 Apply the darker eyeshadow to lower lash line, making the line as thick or thin as you like.  Put the lighter color in the tear duct area. Blend well.

Makeup trend 2011 - Bright eyeshadow

There are so many good makeup trends out this year, but I think my favorite of them all is bright neon eyeshadows. Although, I probably wont wear this trend much ( I'm more of an natural kinda girl.) I thought I would try it out and take pictures as I went. :)

Super super easy. I only used 2 eyeshadows and mascara. 

Step 1. Take any bright color, I chose pink 'cause it's my favorite color. Place it on your lid and try not to go to high with it. Blend out any harsh lines.

Step 2. Take a light gold color and line your lower lash line and tear duct area.

Lastly, curl your eyelashes and add mascara. :) I told you it was super easy!

Cinnamon Roll Muffins

I don't know about you, but nothing sounds better on a cold rainy day than a hot gooey cinnamon roll. I was sitting around itching from the baking bug, so I decided to make cinnamon rolls. (I don't have a good pan to bake them on, so I had to use a muffin tin.) I looked online through tons of recipes and couldn't really find one I liked, I then decided to find a good one and tweak it to my likin'. :)

How I made these lovelies:


(This recipe isn't 100% my own, I took this recipe from Cooks.com and changed up a few things.)


Ingredients: 


1 1/2 cup bisquick mix. 
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar 
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2/3 cup of milk 
1 tsp of vanilla extract 
1 large egg

For topping:


3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon 
2 tbsp butter/margarine 


Icing:


1 cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk


Preheat oven to 350°F 
In a bowl, mix all the ingredients together. Starting with the dry and ending with the egg. Mix until smooth. Pour into greased/lined muffin tin. 
Mix together brown sugar, cinnamon and butter using fork until well blended. Sprinkle evenly on top of muffin batter.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until tops are slightly browned.
Mix powdered sugar and milk together and drizzle on top.


Note: The topping might sink into the middle and create a yummy filling. Feel free to add more topping if you'd like! 

Enjoy your warm cinnamon roll muffin!!

Homemade Coffee Face Mask and Scrub

I'm such a girly girl when it comes to anything beauty. I love makeup, good smellin' soaps and anything skin care related. I've come to a realization that these things aren't cheap, so I've decided to DIY!


I searched the interwebs for homemade face masks, I didn't have ingredients for most of 'em, but then I found a one that just called for coffee and milk. (Which I always have in my house!)

Coffee has loads of anti-oxidants which helps fix damaged cells. It also helps fight aging! 

Take about 1/4 of a cup, or how ever much you think you might need.

Add a bit of milk until it becomes a thick paste.

Looks tasty, eh? ;)

Grab handfuls and gently press on your face until it looks like this:

EEK! Leave on for about 20 minutes. 

To remove, run some warm water in the sink and splash on face. (Just like you would if you were washing your face.) Rub gently in a circular motion to use the coffee grounds as an exfoliant! Easy as pie!

It left my skin feeling oh-so-soft and also gave my skin a bit of a glow!
