Tinkerbell Tattoos

Tinkerbell is an iconic cartoon character, first featured in J. M. Barrie's 1904 play entitled Peter and Wendy. The cute mystical fairy has since appeared in several animated feature films and television shows, perhaps best known from Walt Disney's film entitled Peter Pan.

Tinkerbell tattoos are beloved by women, and the designs often show Tink brandishing a magic wand or perhaps positioned on a flower of sorts. These tattoo picture ideas should help you conjure up a plan for your very own design.

The Hulk is an iconic cartoon superhero who has appeared in comic books, television series and several motion pictures. This mean green wreaking machine is known for having a quick temper, which ultimately causes him to transform from ordinary Bruce Banner to a clobbering creature known as The Hulk.

If you read this blog, you must know how much I love sequins! They are the perfect way to take a simple silhouette and elevate it to something sassy! Although once reserved for the over-the-top 80's sequins have made a comeback and then some being seen in everything from evening gowns to vests to basic tees. These three looks show you how you can wear the sparkly look in a glamourous and show-stopping way.

Enjoy!

Nails! Nails! Nails!: Colour Me Badd

As of late fashion trends have been getting crazier and crazier, Lady Gaga's infamous meat dress anyone? And it seems that the crazy has trickled down to the tips of our nails.

InStyle.com has recently posted how-tos on the latest nail trends from using metallic ribbon to two tone styles. All the risk taking in nail trends reminds me of the mid-nineties when I used to wear pastel blue nail polish with blue sparkles. It also reminds me that if you are a little timid when it comes to trying out new trends a great way to play it safe is with your nails.

A Little E.V.O.O. Goes Along Way

I don't know about you but once the summer is over I like to do a little beauty overhaul to accompany my fall fashion wardrobe overhaul. This means that I wear more make-up, paint my nails a little darker and moisturize!

Although the cooler weather does wonders for my hair (it keeps the frizzies away) it unfortunately does not have the same positive effect on my skin. As we all know once the temperature drops on the outside, your skin gets a little dry on the inside of your clothes and in all honesty, who wants dry skin?

My little secret for smooth supple skin is the following: olive oil and coarse salt. How exactly do these work? The salt helps exfoliate your skin while the oil moisturizes it revealing skin as smooth as silk.

Now keep in mind that this homemade exfoliator can be a little messy so make sure to do it in the bathroom and over a towel or in the bathtub.

Ingredients:

1/4 of Olive Oil
1/4 of Coarse Salt

Method:

1. Mix the olive oil and coarse salt in a small bowl.

2. Take the mixture in your hands and gently scrub your legs and arms.

3. Hop in the shower to rinse it off and your done!

That is all you need for a frugal and natural way to stay silky smooth under your skinny jeans and wool coats.

Enjoy!
