Travel Flats (Prom Week: Day Four)
My mom ordered me these awesome flats last week that are definitely going to come in handy on Saturday! They are flats that can be folded up and kept in this little pouch just in case your heels start hurting. She got them from Mamapedia, and they cost $11 (plus $3.95 for shipping). They are by Bella Sols, and they come in six varieties. They only take three to four days to ship, so order them now if you want them. :)

Not only are they very convenient, but they are so comfy! They are also really cute. :)

Polyvore Monday: Prom 2012 (Prom Week: Day Two)
This Polyvore set is in honor of prom, the Hunger Games, and the University of Georgia.
(Click on to enlarge.)
I picked this picture of Katniss from The Hunger Games because I absolutely love the dress, and it’s red to represent UGA, which I toured this past weekend. Her dress is so pretty, and I would definitely wear it to prom. Because the dress is so awesome (you’ll have to watch The Hunger Games to see what I’m talking about), I wanted to keep the shoes and clutch a simple black. If you have read Mockingjay from The Hunger Games Trilogy, you will know why the earrings are perfect. The mockingjay pin that Katniss wears adds the final touch.
Preparing for Prom (Prom Week: Day One)
Prom is one week away, so it’s time to start getting ready! Here are a few ways I suggest getting ready for prom.
Skin
One thing I will definitely be doing this week is a face mask each night. Cupcake by LUSH clears up my skin so much! One of my friends is actually using it too, and she loves it as well. :) Also, I am making sure I wash my face nightly! Sometimes I accidentally fall asleep with my makeup on, but that canNOT happen this week. After I wash my face each night, I will make sure to put on my eye cream because I definitely do not want bad circles for prom. (Going along with this, make sure you get a lot of sleep this week!) Before I start to use my self tanner (by Bath and Body Works) I am going to make sure to really exfoliate. Also, I will moisturizing so that my skin is not dry for prom.
Hair
I will be doing a hair mask about halfway through this week. If you do not want to go out and buy a hair mask, you can just use your conditioner. I have found that it works really well. :) It makes my hair feel really soft and replenished. Make sure to practice what hair style you want before the day of prom.
Nails
If you are doing your own nails, I recommend filing, removing the ridges, buffing, and shining your nails before you paint them. It makes them look so good! Make sure to get your nails done one or two days before prom. Last time I tried to do my nails the day of…let’s just say it did not go well.
Teeth
I highly suggest using whitening strips; they are amazing. :)
One last tip is to make a list of everything you need to do!
Here is my list for this week:
- Use face mask EVERYDAY.
- Use self tanner EVERYDAY.
- Practice hairstyle on Monday.
- Do hair mask on Wednesday.
- Get everything together on Thursday.
- Paint nails on Friday.
Hope this helps you guys get ready for prom. :)

Polyvore Monday (Valentine’s Week 2012: Day Six)
I put together an outfit that I think would be so cute for a Valentine’s Day date.
I picked this dress because it looks a lot like a shirt that I wanted to buy about a year ago. To glam it up a bit, I made sure to add accessories that had some glitter and gems but that were simple at the same time. This is definitely an outfit that I would wear on a fancy Valentine’s Day date.

Today Kristen went to my cheer banquet with me. :) The dress that she wore was from Kohls. She wore white sandals, a gem necklace, and hoop earrings.
For her makeup, she put on tinted moisturizer, brown eyeliner, champagne and pink eyeshadow, and black mascara.
She pinned her bangs back for a more polished look.
We had a lot of fun together!

How To French Braid Your Bangs (Valentine’s Week 2012: Day Four)
For today’s post, I decided to do a quick hair tutorial. I will be showing you how to french braid your bangs. I do this look for nearly every basketball game that I cheer at. I love french braiding my bangs because it is something I can do really quickly in the morning when I’m running late, and it looks really cute. :)
In regards to Valentine’s Day I think this hairstyle would look really pretty to wear because it looks good with both straight and curly hair. :) I curled my hair for cheer pictures and did this hairstyle, and I really like how it turned out!
