Since getting your hair cut, colored, and all that jazz has gotten remarkably expensive, I started dying my own hair. Ion is fantastic and covers greys so well. My family greys early so I got my first grey hair at 21. The coverage is great and is rad...

You need developer to mix with the Ion hair dye. I like to use 30 developer to ensure I get the color lift I like on my darker hair. Depending on your natural hair color and the color you are dyeing your hair will determine which level of developer y...

You need a mixing bowl that is specifically for mixing hair dye. These are meant to withstand the chemicals compared to a traditional bowl you have at home.

I find it easier to apply hair dye with a brush than with a bottle. This is especially true around the hairline.

In order to mix the dye and developer thoroughly, you need a mini whisk. Otherwise, you will be spending a lot of time stirring with another utensil to incorporate them correctly.

To make sure you have the right amount of developer, you needs to have a measuring beaker. Some brands of developer have a certain ratio of developer to hair dye so it is important you measure the developer correctly. The bottle will always tell you ...

Finding the right foundation has always been hard for me. I saw all the hype around this and decided to give it a try. I am so glad I did. I like to keep my everyday make up as natural-looking as possible. Since using this foundation, my face make-up...
WOKE UP LIKE THIS

This concealer is unbelievable. As a teacher, I feel like I look like an exhausted raccoon every morning with dark circles. This gets rid of those and brightens my eyes so much. And a little goes a long way, just like the foundation.

Love that this lip gloss turns matte! I have never really loved lipstick and always preferred gloss because it is not as heavy. However, it could lead to a sticky mess. This gloss drys matte and looks so good.

This tinted lip balm makes my lips feel so moisturized. I love that is also has SPF 30 in it as well. My favorite shade is Blush but I also like Crystal for a natural look as well.

After my skin surviving the St. Ives Apricot Scrubs phase of my teen years, I have realized that simple really is best. This Cerave face wash is one of my faves because it is fragrance free, has salicylic and hyuralonic acide, and has the much needed...

I love this face cleansing brush! I can never go back to washing my face any other way. I love that there are a couple of modes that you can choose how deep of a facial cleanse you have. I use this religiously and the battery life is amazing.

These are better than any body sponge ever. I love that you can reach all the harder spots to reach and exfoliate. I have strawberry skin and noticed a difference after just one use. The bumps on my skin are less noticeable and smoother now

My favorite press on nails. Saves me time and money from going to the nail salon. Very good quality and long lasting. I also prefer the shorter square nail because long nails and teaching don't mix for me.
