Frizzy Hair Fix

Labels: Frizzy, Hair, hair tips | at 9:16 PM

I have had this problem for quite some time, and today while browsing youtube style/beauty guru videos (yes, it has become on of my summer addictions! JuicyStar07 is my fave!) and I said to myself, "Okay, why don't I search this on youtube for a quick fix!?" Not that easy. Well, either that, or I didn't have enough patience for that. I quickly searched "frizzy hair fix" on Google, and this website: funadvice.com pops up. I will quit explaining and show you with pictures now:

Knowing me, you'd know I just had to print screen it on here to show you all how proud of myself that I am for finding an answer so quickly!

A couple years ago I had my Mom buy me Herbal Essences, and I guess that's why I just noticed that I had "developed" this frizz problem. hmm. Anywho, I am one of those people who's hair can't really take it when you wash it every day. I do it every-other-day, but wash my face daily, remove make-up, etc. So I am a clean person I guess. And my friends know I also love to use Bath and Body Works perfumes. (:

I scribbled "Herbal Essences" down on the shopping list, and in a couple days, *poof* Goodbye frizzy hair! I wish I would've known this before all that hot florida sun. Oh well!

Before I close, just FYI I have a new youtube channel that I share with my friends. It's called KatyForever13. I think it may have some potential of having around 100+ views per video, right? More videos coming soon! x)

But, I thought it was interesting....haha

TheSEPTEMBERissue

Labels: VOGUE | at 9:37 PM

Hello All. Are you all anticipating the sacred SEPTEMBER ISSUE of vogue? You bet I am. :)

It's not just at school that the new term starts in September. In fashion, the glossies' September issues, released in early August, set the new season's agenda. They mark the turning point in the fashion year as autumn/winter clothes start to filter into the shops. (Such is the power of the September issue that an entire film is about to come out based around the making of the September 2007 American Vogue.) It's the most ad-heavy issue of the year as every design house competes to put their "hero items" in front of consumers - and the most prestigious cover a model can land.

For its readers there is an almost illicit allure to be had from flicking through pages of cashmere, jewel colours, boots and coats when we are meant to be frolicking in summer dresses and bikinis but frankly, most of us have had enough of the sad sales rails by now.

September issues act as part sartorial organiser, part wish list, allowing the fashion-minded to start planning their wardrobes for the months ahead. . . . .

My Latest Purchases

Labels: Shopping | at 9:30 PM

I went late afternoon shopping today with a friend, and got some great purchases. ;)

Above is my First Day of School shirt. Plus a teal Delias undershirt, Peacock Earrings, and a silver coin necklace.

Shirt - Oldnavy

Skirt - American Eagle

Picked this cardigan that really has 'Second Day Of School' potential. ;)

I got it for the discount price of $7.00! (But in light blue)

And yes, it's Rampage....but I got it in the Juniors section of Macy's.

Just thought I'd share that.

Smooth Away = Throw Away

Labels: reviews | at 1:43 PM

Beginning today, on StyleMeBlog, I am going to begin doing Reviews. I review a product, and I tell you the star rating, and why I gave the product this particular rating. Today's Product is Smooth Away. [AS SEEN ON TV] Judging by the title of this post, you can tell I have a thing or two to say about it... Read On to find out!

Smooth Away

as seen on tv

A product used as a razor alternative.

I give this product, Smooth Away, 1.5 stars. Why such a low rating? Read on.

I was walking through Target about a month ago, right before my Florida trip, and stumbled across the "Smooth Away" product. Probably every girl in the world, like me, loathes shaving. Mostly when you cut yourself, or miss a big patch of stubble completely. The Smooth Away product looked promising, and for 5 bucks, it seemed like something worth trying. Thus, I threw it in my basket, and headed for Checkout.

Around two weeks later, after vacation, I saw it lying on my bedside table, and brought it to the bathroom. Tore open the box, and read the instructions.

"Wet and Dry the Skin, Move pad in a circular motion clockwise three times, then counter-clockwise three times"

Easy enough, right? I picked up a pad, and examined it. A big pink pad with a spot to slip your hand in, and a mini one that looks almost the same. on the bottom of the pad there is a black surface which was sort of roughish, but mostly smooth.

I followed the instructions, soaping, washing, drying, and began to move the pad on my thigh in a circular motion. It took me literally 5 MINUTES just to do one patch as big as my palm. And, wherever I rubbed, a big patch of white, flaky, dry skin emerged. Irritated, I hopped in the shower nixing the product alltogether. I lotioned up my legs afterwards, and feeling the spots where I used the Smooth Away, there were Still little hairs popping up.

I got frustrated and threw it away altogether. Hence "Smooth Away = Throw Away".

They should really mention these things on the commercial!

[This is my opinion, as well as many girls' from all over.]

Sweats and a Tee-shirt aren't enough

| at 4:09 PM

*sigh* Ever have that feeling where you tried so hard to find something special for a extremely special even, say The First Day of Eighth Grade 2009, and you just couldn't no matter how many stores I went through, coupons you clipped, babysitting dollars you've saved? Well, we're in the same boat. I spent from 10:30 A.M. to 2:30 P.M. combing through my local mall desperate for The Outfit to appear before my eyes. Sadly, at the end of the day, all I ended up with was a bottle of Dancing Waters [or is it Waters Dancing...?] Bath and Body Works perfume. [insert very, very sad frowny face here].

Sure, I saw countless cute and affordable ensembles in my size, but the problem is that the clothes I pick out from the others as adorable, end up being too "Grown up" for me. For example, why would I go to Middle School wearing a pencil skirt, and cheetah print silk blouse with polished gold bangles, while the ideal 8th grade outfit is a pair of sweats and a Hollister logo tee. *another sigh*

My friends are beginning to notice my obsession with jewelry, and let me confess that the reason is namely because these are the only things I can use to dress up a pair of Sweats and Hollister tee, to make it fill my fashionista ego. Thus, I honestly cannot wait to grow up and grow into this ego of mine. Okay, I know when I'm older I will only wish to be younger, but that's then, and this is... now.

Any of you have this problem?

Yep, that was another one of my many rants. Ignore me if you choose.

All that in a Recession [Neon, Neon, Neon!]

Labels: fashionista Flair, Neon, new features, Recessionista Flair | at 4:51 PM

Gosh, am I a bad blogger or what?

With my Mom's surgery and such, I have been running around like a crazy person for the past two weeks, and somehow dropped blogging from my juggled computer-life. :P

Well, I am back {I sure hope so!} and brought some new SMB Polls and new topics along with me!

Fashion/Recession{ista} Flair

Neon Colors

With the recession in full swing . . . .

Stores have been trying to rake in the cash by constantly bringing new trends back from the ashes. One of these trends would be, *drum roll pleaseeee* NEON COLORS.

This trend is one that I am quite fond of lets say. Mainly because it's easy to wear both fashionably, economically, and recession-omically. haha. Plus, since I am more of a Fashionista at heart, AND most of the clothes that I DESIRE, A) have a pricetag with too many zeros to tally up, or B) Three sizes too big. But, it is extremely easy to stroll into Delia*s and pick up a dozen tank tops in electric, neony colors and pair them with a pair of white, or dark washed jeans.

So, that's where most of us are left. If you were given the chance to wear crazy colors with comfort AND style, wouldn't you pounce on it?

TWO NEW POLLS *eek*

Yep, if you took a peak at our sidebar before even reading this post, KUDOS to you! :)

We have two new polls, a real step-up to our "Who Wore it Better" ones.

I was thinking of ways to get the coveted 20 followers {ooh look how far we've come over the summer!} that I had desired from the start, and polls earned it's way to the top. I saw the votes I had gathered with the WWIB polls, and I decided to have new, fresh polls every week, month,.... urgh. I will just post a new poll every now and then, okay? Just take a moment to let me know you all are out there and vote in them, okay?

A New Playlist for SMB!

Gosh, I change my taste in music like I change my blog templates! So, like the polls, I have moved on to a FASHIONISTA FRIENDLY playlist of songs. I don't usually like curse words in song, but they are so discreet, I think we will find a way to you know, live? haha.

Most of the songs are inspired from my FAVE movie at the moment, Devil Wears Prada. I treated myself to a movie night last week, and what did I see in the "Free Movie" section? Exactly what I was looking for in a movie.

The last two tracks inspired a poll which you will have to see AND listed to yourselves!

Thanks for your loving support!

Fashionista of the Month {JULY}

Labels: Emma Watson, Fashionista of the Month | at 5:20 PM

Fashionista of the Month

For July, our Fashionista of the Month, is non other than Emma Watson. This is a bit about her from a Google source:

Emma Watson was born in Paris, France to Jacqueline Luesby and Chris Watson, English lawyers who lived in France at the time; she has a younger brother named Alex. She lived in Paris until age five, then moved with her mother and brother to Oxford, England.

Watson attended The Dragon School, a private preparatory school, until June 2003, when she moved to Headington School, a private all-girls school in Oxford. In June 2006, Watson sat GCSE examinations in 10 subjects, achieving eight A* and two A grades. She is studying for her Advanced Subsidiary (AS) levels in Dance, Art and English literature.

Watson is an avid sports player and her musical interests (as of Spring 2005) include singing, hip hop, blues, and classic rock, including Eminem, Eric Clapton, U2 and Nelly Furtado.

She has said that she feels her celebrity status is partly responsible for her not having a boyfriend, stating:
"Guys are either intimidated by me, or they have defences up...."

Until Tomorrow,

Katy
