To use pull your hair back with a headband or into a ponytail. Fill two bowls. one with warm water and the other with ice water. Wrap a towel around your neck and cute a cucumber. Press a warm washcloth against your face for about a minute then apply a gentle cleanser or scrub. Apply your face mask and leave it on for ten minutes. Lay down and put a cucumber slice on each eye, then a cold washcloth over the top. When time is up, rise you face off and apply a face lotion with your fingertips.

How To French Braid

Image
First, you need to brush your hair out and spray with some water and gel.  Then you want to start at the  top of your head and divide your hair into three sections. Start braiding like normal. Take the right side of the middle piece so the middle piece is now on the right. Now take the left piece and bring it to the middle. With that left piece add some more hair to make it a bigger piece. Then take the right piece and bring it over the middle piece and add in more hair.  Continue doing this until you run out of hair to add in. Then just braid your hair normally till the end. Secure with an elastic.

Countdown To Summer

Countdown To Summer     I can't believe school is almost out! I'm so ready to start singing "What Time Is It" from High School Musical. To get me even more excited I decided to make a countdown chain. It is so easy to make and you can just make a chain for decoration too.      To make this chain all you need is: Cute paper Siccors or a paper cutter Glue or tape     First, cut your paper into strips. For my paper I decided to use bright and summery colors, after all, it is a countdown to summer. Then take one strip and tape or glue it in a circle. Then take another strip and put it through the first circle. Then, just make another circle and continue. You can either do how many school days are left or how many days are left.      Then, don't forget to rip off a link every day, to keep track of how many days until summer!!
