Hi Foxy Friends! I got this and filmed this awhile ago but just got around to editing...but it's my new favorite Senegence (some of you might know it as Lipsense) collections. I got my hands on their new Fall products and I'm in love! It's my new go to everyday look, it's seriously the best!

If you want to get some too, hit up my friend Becky. She also has a pretty awesome facebook group where she gives you tips on how to use the products and what's happening at the company. So many new things coming out, I want it all! By the way I don't get compensated for this, I just like the product and Becky!
So here is my final look.
It's hard to capture with lighting the eye look, next time I'll go outside.
I had gotten a new foundation, so I thought I would review it, and then thought, hey now would be a good time to show everyone how I do my make up too. Two birds, one stone...that saying seems so mean. Anyway, here is my review:
Hi Foxy Friends! I have two things for you today. First I'm joining the ladies over at The Blended Blog for a little floral style post, and I'm ALSO going WAY out of my comfort zone and tried to do an artistic make up look. I decided I was aiming for a mermaid look...whatever that means, so stay tuned for that.

First up is florals. I'm in love with these floral tops from Old Navy, I do believe I have them in three or four different colors, oops!
Shirt (similar but long sleeve) / Jeans (similar here (high end), and here (budget friendly)) / Shoes (similar)
I really like dark background with light flowers, it's my floral jam. Like this one. I liked it so much I bought it in two different styles. This shirt is similar to the pattern below.
This week I also participated in a new to me make up challenge by Vanessa from Vanessa Loves Make Up. The category was artistic make up. Let me tell you how hard it was for me. I tried doing the halo look. Like she did...
That does not look good on monolids...it was awful. So I decided to get creative and use a cut crease method (something I discovered while trying to scour the internet for artistic make up looks on monolids...not out there by the way) Anyway, this is the look I came up with.
So if you want to see how I got this look, please watch and like the video if you can.

Hello Foxy Friends! I finally found some time to put together this wreath that I have been wanting to do for years! I finally bite the bullet and ordered the stars and strips burlap off of Amazon...I'm so happy I did, since I couldn't find it in store anywhere! Anyway, let's get straight to business.

You need a wire wreath, mine was a 16" wreath, you can use any size wreath that you want. Start with the star burlap and start to weave in and out of the wreath frame. See this tutorial on how to do that.
Fluff the star burlap once your have completed weaving it in the wire wreath.
Step 2:
Now continue the wreath with your red strip burlap.
Not fluffed red burlap.
Fluffed red burlap, huge difference right?
Step 3:
Add the sign to the middle of your wreath.
Step 4:
Put on door hanger on your front door.
I put together a video showing you how I did this, cause sometimes watching something makes it so much easier to understand the process.

Hi Foxy Friends! I decided since I am almost half way through my hair challenge that I would give you my tips and tricks on how I can now go 3-5 days between hair washings. Let me tell you it was a longish road, but totally worth it!
Let me first start off by saying that I was a wash your hair every night because if I don't my hair is a big greasy mess on day 2. So if this is you, there is hope! For reference I typically will wash my hair 2 times a week. Usually on Monday nights (because I workout that day) and then again on Friday night or Saturday morning after working out.
Be patient. This is just like anything else, it's going to take time to train your hair. You've been washing your hair everyday for how long? You can't just one day tell your hair, hey I'm going to wash you every 4 days and have it be happy with you. You are going to have to go into this know that you're going to have some crappy greasy hair days ahead of you. Seriously, like there were times when I just wanted to wash my hair! But it was for the greater good, so I continued on. I bought some of these oil wipes for my face, and used those to help bridge the uncomfortable gap between washings.
*I did buy these with my own money, but linked products are affiliates and I will receive a small commission if you click on it. Thank you for your support!
Dry shampoo is your friends, I repeat again dry shampoo is your friend. Once you get it wrapped around your mind that you're going to have a couple of months of uncomfortable days, you can move onto the next step. Which is find a great dry shampoo. You are not going to get through this without it! Seriously, you might have to try several, but it's out there, I promise. I can tell you that I've tried 4 different ones and this one works the best for me. I've tried some of the popular ones, and they just didn't work for my hair...so there is one out there, you just have to find it. Note: I've never tried the non aerosol kind of dry shampoo...not because I don't want to, just that I keep forgetting to look, so if any of you have one that you love, pass it on my way!
Tip: If you want to try this out and don't want to pay the $20ish that it is, Sephora has it for $10, you can find it in those little bins that stand next to while waiting in line. You get to try and new dry shampoo and it's travel size so you can take it anywhere.
I did a quick video for those that have never used dry shampoo, how I apply my dry shampoo. I use it liberally. I think it works best that way, especially after a workout.
I didn't realize this either, and I have NO idea if this helps or not, but I switch up my shampoo every single time I wash my hair. I do tend to use my Target Hair Food Shampoo and conditioner for when I know I'm going to go longer between washings, cause it seems to work the best on my hair. Then the other days I wash with whatever shampoo I'm trying get to get to the end of the bottle.
It takes time to build up how long to go between washings. Start with every other day, until you feel comfortable, then go to every second day, etc. Typically I try to just wash my hair twice a week. I like to try and wash it on a hard work out day, so I will wash it on a Monday night and Saturday morning...it just works out that way right now. But do what works best for you. I try to do my hair that doesn't involve heat on the first day or two, and then on the second or third day I'll add some curls so by the third or fourth day I can throw it up and have the curls help with the up style.
This was done on Day 4 hair.
You are going to need to do your hair on day 3ish to 5, sometimes I can get away with just throwing up my bangs with some bobby pins on day 3, but days 4 and 5 I need to do something with it. It's going to sometimes feel a little limp and flat, I like using a texturizing spray to help with volume, I absolutely love the Amika Un.Done Texture Spray. It gives you volume you didn't even know you had! When I first started using it I was convinced it was magic in a bottle...it's amazing stuff, especially if you have fine hair, give this a try!
This is the bobby pins keeping my bangs away (even though I don't have bangs, you get it), I do this on day 2 or 3 hair
A simple braid, I do this on day 3 and 4 hair
I also like doin the braided crown for day 4 and 5 hair.
There you have it, 5 tips on how I trained my hair to go 3-5 days between washings. Trust me girls, if I can do it anyone can. I thought, eww gross, going that long between washes, but dry shampoo really does the trick to get rid of the grease and make your hair feel fresh again.
I thought since I am on week 19 of the hair challenge and so many of you said you didn't even know how to french braid your hair that I would show you how I French braid my own hair. I think my style is different than any other tutorials out there! I hope it makes sense and if you have any questions just let me know! Good luck, I know you can do it!
Of course it's way easier in a video format, so here you go!
My main advice is to practice, practice, practice. Once you learn the steps, start practicing on the couch when you're watching tv at night. I would sit in my bed after my parents put me in bed and practice. I think it took me as an 8 year old an evening or two to learn how to French braid my own hair. If I can do it as an 8 year old, you can do it too! Don't get frustrated, you got this!
Let me know how it works out for you!
P.S. Also if you go to around 3:20 in the video, I get in a better grove and you can really see how to French Braid, before that is a lot of talk and starting the French Braid.
