DIY-easy curls

I'm going to tell you how to do an easy hairstyle that you will often patronize when you need something quick to do with your hair. This hair style is affiliated to curling your hair, but without all the work. These curls are super cute and aren't to fancy. Their perfect if you want to look cute on a casual day. All you need for this is an hair dryer and hairspray is optional. It doesn't matter what kind of hair dryer, anything will work.

First, start with clean, a little damp hair. Comb your hair thoroughly, making it sleek so you don't have to comb through your curls. Then divide your hair into two sections, as seen in the first picture. Now twist the two sections of hair away from you. Take the hair dryer and dry the hair on warm completely. Now just use your hands to untwist your hair, bringing it forward. You can use hairspray to make it last longer. You can also use a comb for loser looking curls, but I don't think that is necessary. It can be easier if you have someone else do it for you.

This is super quick and easy, and it looks great! This is the perfect hairstyle to do if your in a rush. It's awesome because it looks like you spent time curling your hair, but you barely did any work. I'm sure that you will get tons of compliments on your hair. I hope this works for you and have fun with it.

Nerves

We all have many fears, but one of my biggest is, nerves.  Being nervous isn't my biggest fear because there are many more fears, like the dark, but it is a very common fear that I hate.  I get nerves when I have a track meet, have try outs for a sport, can't find something I lost, or even if I can't find a dress for an event.  Nerves make your stomach hurt and you can't do anything about it.  Being nervous dose not make me feel good at all; it makes me want to throw up, especially at a track meet.  When I'm about to run a race I feel like I'm going to jump out of my body because everyone's is watching you and waiting to see who wins the race.  Starting a race is the worst, you are looking down at the track trying not to over cognitive things and you are just sitting in your blocks waiting for the gun to go off.   If you ask anyone on the track team they will say one of the worst things about track is the nerves.  Whenever I start getting nervous I pray and ask God to help me calm down because I know that He is my protector and will always be there for me.  There are so many things in the world satan has put to distract us from God but, in the end these fears bring us to God.   God will ultimately will be the solution to all problems.

DIY- ombré nails


It seems, everyone is crazy about nails.  There are so many new trends and styles out there to jazz up any outfit.  I'm going to tell you and easy, cute look for your nails that you will love.  The great thing about it, is that it is quick and easy.  The nails have an ombré gradient sponge technique that is vivacious!

What you will need: makeup sponges, 3 different colors of nails polish, white nail polish, scissors, clear coat, nail polish remover, and q-tips.

First, paint two coats of white nail polish on all of your nails, so that the 3 other colors will show up really well.
Second, cut the makeup sponge so that it is almost the size of your thumbnail.  You can use the same sponge for all of your nails.
Then put the 3 vivid colors you have chosen for your nails, and paint all three on the sponge. Make sure to use a generous amount of paint.  Paint the colors next to each other not mixing them.
Next, you will pat the sponge onto your nail.  The polish will get on your skin.  Finish the rest of your nails.
Take a q-tip and dip it in nail polish remover. Swipe the q-tip on your skin to get rid of the excess nail polish.
Lastly, top all of your nails with a top coat to make them last longer, and shine.

You can try using two or four colors, but three usually works the best.  There are many ways to do your nails, but I'm sure this will be one of your favorites.
