I am so sorry about the Layout/Background! Our good friend, Cheerios was messing around with the template and she ended up changing it, then tried to change it back, and now i can't get it back to how it was! So, right now we are just going to use a temporary template for a while until i figure out how to get it back to how it was, unless you guys want a new look? What do you think? Any suggestions? Enjoy the blog!
Love Froot Loops

P.S. I still love you Cheerios! haha!

2 Snow days?! In one week! Wow... its a miracle (for my school)!
Hello, my fellow blog readers!
Its 11:39 AM, on a Week day. So, you may ask how i am writing this from a school classroom? Its because i'm not :) Monday and Today (Wednesday) we got off school for snow/ice. It seriously is like a miracle, our school misses absolutely as little time as possible, most schools have off on MLK day, Right? Not ours. Like seriously, my mom and dad had off work.. and we didnt?!! I actually kind of dont see why we had off today..except for maybe ice, we only got a few inches.. but then again i dont think the snow plows came through *Turns around and looks outside huge window behind her* Nevermind, They did come through! I wonder what the roads are like in town, cheerios feel free to add what it is like in the "City" lol,
CHEERIOS: First- i am not in the "City" haha its like where more houses are.. we don't live in a city lol its actually really bad. i see why we had off. its really thick snow and it is still snowing.. it coated the road and then under the snow it is frozen and slippery because of the rain we had yesterday.. and its windy and such so i think its a good call. did you know some colleges are getting off early?! colleges never get off!
FROOT LOOPS- Okay, it isnt the city but it IS the "Main Town" part of our small 1000ish people town, and it IS more in town than where i live. Also, isnt Main Street usually considered the town?! Oh speaking of main street, our town holds the record for longest Main street without an intersection! Pretty impressive, right?! It goes for 3 miles through a valley between two valleys!

Gel Nails: The Truth
Hey guys!!
Lately you have probably been hearing about gel nails, because they have been a big trend.
If you don't know what gel nails are they are a type of artificial nail, that is really close to your real nail so it doesnt look fake.
They last 2-4 weeks, which if you know how long regular polish lasts.. that's a big step up.
There is 2 different types, the gel nail that you put under a UV light type thing and one where you just apply a top coat, type curing thing. You can go to a salon and get them done or there is at home treatments where it may come with the liquid curer or the UV light system.
My mom was talking to me because a lot of the people at her work, wear gel nails.
And they looked really good. And lasted such a long time.
She was watching Doctor Oz, and he was talking about these types of fake nails..
She found out that they aren't as good as they seem...
1) They can cause cancer.. The UV light that is used for curing the polish, is just like the sun beating down on your hands.. But it is very powerful and direct, and on your fingers and parts of your hands are exposed to it, it can cause skin cancer, and other problems with the skin on your hands.
2) Also, the UV light can cause aging in your hands since the rest of your hands aren't covered.. It can cause premature wrinkles, dry skin, and it may also cause darkening of the skin (not in a good way).
3) It is HORRIBLE for your nails. Now, polish isn't the greatest for your nails and it is good to let your nails breathe(; as one of my friend said.. But this really seals off your nails.. it lasts for a long long time so it really does not let your nails get any air, and let them "breathe". And since it lasts for like 3 weeks, it is close to impossible to get off. When you have regular polish on it can be tough to get off, and the acetone or non acetone polish remover damages, and dries out the nail. When you are trying to remove these gel nails, (this is what most people do there might be better ways) but you have to pack on the remover with cotton balls, and cotton pads, and then rap your nails in tinfoil and let the remover sit on your nails to get the polish off. After you get the "top layer" off , you still need to scrape and peel and just dig at your nails to get the rest off. It doesn't only rip off the polish but takes off layers of your nails, which makes your nails thin, brittle and then break easier. And if you are doing the gel top coat that is a curer for the polish, who knows what horrible things are in that to make your polish last that long... CONCLUSION BELOW

CONCLUSION
i would stay away from gel nails because of the effect it has on your natural nails, and what it can do to your health.
if you still want a long lasting polish, check out regular brands like sally hansen, or opi. And invest in a good top coat to enhance the life of your polish..
I will probably do a nail care post, talking about what is bad for you nails, getting them back to full "health" and what you can do to get long healthy nails.

Google+
Well one day i was messing around on here..
Not knowing what i was actually doing and i accidentally changed this blog to google+
Not really sure what that does.. all i know my "screen name"/posting name i dont really know is not pugs910 which is what i wanted the account to show.
Now it shows a name.. Faith Lynn.
Now all im telling you, this is not my real name so don't even try to look it up.
I just made it up to cover up my real name, so when i reply to comments i am putting it as anonymous just because i don't want it to say Faith Lynn and you wonder why a random lady is talking to you..
No. it is still Frooty and Cheerios.. our screen name is just messed up.
I realized more people are commenting.. (:: makes us so happy you don't even know..
So when you comment and we reply it will not say from pugs910 or faith lynn.. it will say from anonymous and at the end it will say love Froot Loop and Cheerios xoxo.
Dont be alarmed(;
love,
The Team!
(Cheerios is making this post.. but it is about both of us pretty much)

Our/My new posting schedule!
Hey girls!/guys!
I know that we don't always post as much as we should... and not everyday and sometimes not for a couple days..
So i think we should make a "posting" schedule just to keep us/ me (not sure if Froot Loop wants to follow this or not) on track.. and just get as many things up as possible.
I am thinking like every other day... .So monday wednesday and friday.. then on the weekends it really can vary.. as many as we have time to do i guess.
In my other post i explained why we aren't doing TAG Tuesday anymore.. so go check that out.
If you want us to change this schedule shoot us an email.. link is above.under our "logo"
Now we have to keep in mind i have sports, we both have school, we have games that we like to go to so maybe it won't be the most meaningful post on the days we are posting but we will try our hardest to get something up..
If we miss a day we will try to make it up to you girls/guys..
But i just wanted some structure and i don't think we should post MORE than 2 a day.. if we have time i think we should just make ones in advance so we can post other days..
This schedule will take effect next week MONDAY!!! So this week who knows what we will get up. But we will get as many as we can.
Love,
Cheerios

Have you seen Happy Tree Friends?!!!!?!
Hey Guys! One day i was in my room, which is across from my 12 year old brothers room.. He was watching Netflix on his Xbox, and i was the WTF... What is that cheery, stupid, loud, laughing, noise... I was like what are you watching?! And he said Happy Tree Friends..
I didn't pay much attention because he watches stupid stuff, and i didn't really care.
So a couple days later i was in his room and i was like why don't we watch something we both like.
So he turns on Happy Tree Friends,,,, and we started to watch it. It was cheery, with little animals laughing and playing.
I was thinking to myself.. This kid is weird.
I realized from the beginning they didn't talk, they just like mumbled which was pretty annoying, and there was all these different characters.
I thought it was cute, but i didn't know why he was watching it.
As you can see from the picture above, they are cute.... and pretty entertaining.
Then all of a sudden one of them gets their head stuck in a ceiling fan and gets it ripped off, all blood and guts and stuff..
I seriously was like OMG what the hell is this show?!
He said that all of them die at the end..
Great show for little kids.
Some of them kill each other..
One eats poison food and their stomach explodes.
Stupid scenarios.
That is the whole freaking show.
It is a short show, kind of like a short little clip.. but it is packed with blood, and gore, and disgusting stuff.
The picture above is all happy go lucky, and now watch this short clip of what the show is like, AFTER the beginning.
CAUTION- IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH I SUGGEST YOU NOT WATCH THIS CUTE SHOW.

Girl Talk: Dating
Froot Loop and I are both going to post out thoughts on this topic so you can maybe get more than one side so you have more of a rendition of what we think... And unfortunately we did not get any requests on twitter or on comments so I just came up with this topic thinking a lot of girls or women would like to know more about it. It may be long FYI.. Hope you enjoy!
I really think that boyfriends are a topic that is easy to talk about but is a hard thing to actually have and act properly when you have one. Now me personally i am not a guy "hoarder" a person who always needs a boyfriend and i almost feel sorry for those people. You should have friends that are by your side so you don't always need a boyfriend and you should be happy with that. I personally think a good time to start having a boyfriend is in high school preferably like 10th 11th grade. Some people will be like that is way too old.." i have a boyfriend now and im only 11 and i love him so much. "Which personally i think is really ridiculous. But when you are older you will actually be able to tell between an actual boyfriend or a person you want to be with and someone you have a "crush" on. I really am not a fan of when you are 13 and 14 years old and you think that your boyfriend is so amazing and you will be together forever and you can only like him and no one else and how it is so serious.
(This is froot loop butting in here, just to say in 6th-7th grade Cheerios dated the same guy about 4-5 times..and that was when he still had a lil chub chub...now his 6pack is starting to form a little, which is actually quite impressive) Cheerios- oh whatever.i was dumb and stupid and it wasnt really dating. it was just saying it. which i personally regret!! But not much, just because i know it wasn't real and didn't set me back much!

You will know when you are ready and that is your opinion or your parents when it is ok to have a boyfriend.
I cannot date until i am 16.. and the stupid dating in 6th grade.. wasn't real. not counting it. and i wasn't even allowed to fake it.
~~~~~~~~~Froot Loops ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
So, I unlike almost everybody my age/ older than me.. i have never had a boyfriend, not even a stupid 6th grade cheesy "Love"(Cheerios- i haven't either.. i am still NOT counting it!!!).....c'mon you know exactly what i'm talking about!!! You may be thinking "Wow, this chick must be weird or something..she has never dated ANYONE?!"...No, i'm not weird im just waiting for a person who is mature...or at least it wont be a stupid minimum of 2 day and maximum of 3 month relationship. FYI i HAVE been asked out many-a-times, heck a guy has even asked if he could kiss me...but nope, never said yes. Also, when the guys asked me out, i have liked them but i knew how the "Relationship" would end, so actually i saved myself, hassle and possible heartbreak, right? Well as heartbroken as someone my age can be.
About the whole parents thing that Cheerios mentioned before, i'm pretty sure my parents would be okay with me dating someone because whether they like it or not i am growing up, but one thing that i know will come with a boyfriend is my parents (my parents meaning my dad and relatives ) making jokes about it every chance they get, for me its not a big deal and i can totally laugh about it..my sister on the other hand is like my mom, takes some jokes way too seriously.
I feel like dating someone in my class would be weird because if we broke up on a bad note we would be stuck by each other for a few years because, small towns equal small classes, and small classes equals people who don't like each other stuck with each other.
You know, liking someone sucks horribly yet is the best thing ever..just saying.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You will know when you are ready.. and don't just jump into it because you are like everyone else is dating someone..
wait for someone special.. it will pay off. It also can be a lot of work.. take away from school and stuff.. it shouldn't be a job. it should be fun and because you both want to be together!
cute BF/GF pictures(:: and FYI im not the best at getting cool pictures.. Froot Loops is. But i needed to get this up(:;

No More Tag Tuesday?!
Hey guys!
So i totally have been getting so many questions why we aren't doing tag tuesday anymore that its overwhelming. NOT!
I just thought i would make an update post on why we haven't been keeping up with that...
We still will be doing tags and such but, we just think its a little too hard to do one every tuesday and do a mani monday.
I am still trying to keep that up and going, so hopefully we can continue that "tradition" but until we have more time off, we wont be doing a scheduled tag post.
Tags are super fun but sometimes we don't have any ideas on what to talk about..
If YOU have any ideas at all, beauty, makeup, hair, justin bieber, celebrities ect.
TELL US!
Look on youtube, that is where most tags are done.
Do you like tag tuesday? If you do make sure to let us know and maybe we can try to start posting them regularly.. if thats what YOU want(::
Love,
Cheerios

Tips for warding off cold/freezing weather!
Hey Beauties!
Today.. since Froot Loop is busy i will be doing a somewhat longer helpful post.
If you don't already know. its winter time and its super cold!
For those of you that live in California.. LUCKY! or somewhere warm.. you don't need to worry but these will help my up north ladies and people that just are stuck in cold weather.. and need help!!!

Number 1!- This may or may not be already obvious but you NEED and i repeat. NEED! To find a heavy freaking duty moisturizer.. not only for your body.. but your face needs some loving too. The winter air is cold, and really dries out your skin making it red, chapped, and flaky. An overnight thicker moisturize right after you get out of the shower.. go to bed and wake up with soft skin. And.. when your skin gets dry it isn't as glowy, so make sure to moisturize whenever you can. Hands, feet, arms, legs, face, and i personally get dry patches on my eyelids.. Weird? Probably .. here are some moisturizers for different skin types...
Number 2- Always stay bundled up. Always wear a coat, and mittens.. if you have a hood wear that up.. i personally think my hair does a fine job of covering my ears and such(: If you are going to be outside a lot.. be prepared.. it will get cold so have layers. This can really affect your skin.. the health of your hair. If YOU are cold.. it is wearing down on your hair.. nails.. skin.. just stay warm.. OK?
Number 3!- Your skin can get dull as i said and really moisturizing your face will can help with the glowiness of your skin and if you look healthy and awake. But if that isn't doing the trick, try using a highlighter. Liquid or powder.. dusting it on the high points of your face.. cheekbones, bridge of your nose and forehead.. but be aware some highlighters with lots of shimmer/even glitter, can make some people look oily.. try to find one that is just in between so you can have healthy radiant skin all year round.. here are some that i have heard are good! Even using a champagne eyeshadow.. lets say Urban Decay bootycall for highend and for drugstore NYC ellis island eyeshadow, use sparingly depending on the pigment. And some will go for a matte highlighter to look more natural.. totally fine. Both work just as good. There is probably more high end options than drugstore.. an OK one, not my favorite would be the ELF shimmering facial whip.. only $1.00
Number 6-- When i go to bed at night, we turn our heat down pretty low, no matter how cold it is. So it gets pretty cold. When i am laying in bed.. i just feel lonely, who knows why.. i feel like im trapped in my house, im cold, i don't know what to eat.. and i just feel crappy. I think a good thing to do in the winter is have a spa night. Make a nice hydrating mask out of some ground up oatmeal... lots of good benefits for your skin, honey, some soy milk to refresh your skin, and yogurt. You probably will want to eat this..but i would try and just leave in on your face. It will refresh your skin, make you feel pampered (stupid word) and help you relax. Another double thing i like to do is after i get ready to lay down, i like to put a pair of fuzzy socks on.. Any kind is just fine, but a pair of nice warm pretty patterned fuzzy socks. And then i slather lotion all over my feet. Any deep thick lotion is fine.. Your feet are warm and they are moisturized at the same time. Get a big thick blanket.. turn on some music, spray some perfume (i always do this.. it just helps me sleep) and go to sleep. zzzzzzzzzz
And one more.. rose salve from BBW (smells good and i don't even like roses)
Today.. since Froot Loop is busy i will be doing a somewhat longer helpful post.
If you don't already know. its winter time and its super cold!
For those of you that live in California.. LUCKY! or somewhere warm.. you don't need to worry but these will help my up north ladies and people that just are stuck in cold weather.. and need help!!!

Number 4- Since you are pretty much stuck inside unless you live somewhere warm, you are probably getting bored.. don't have much to do and feel sluggish and bloated.. because you don't get any exercise. Well if you want to get a workout, just join a gym. Joining a gym is good any time of the year, but especially when you can't go outside.. so why not work out inside! You can burn off steam, maybe find something you love to do and have fun, and even burn some calories in the process. Anything where you are using your body for something proactive. Like using a bike, or a treadmill.. makes you feel like you are walking. But you don't have to bear the cold. Maybe you can even find a better activity, like rock climbing inside, lazer tag, so you are having fun and still getting a workout! Not many pictures to show here..
Number 5!- In the winter time i am always looking for something to eat. just because i am inside all the time. Im hungry! So what can i eat that won't be too bad for me, nourish my body, but still make me warm, and satisfy my hunger..? Well in the mornings my house is really cold, so i like to eat a bowl of oatmeal.. i know this may not be everyone's choice, but just give it a try. I LOVE oatmeal and always have.. it really does fill you up! Blueberry muffin oatmeal is really super yummy, and so is plain oats, so you can personalize it to what you fancy that day(: Another good option is maybe a hot chocolate, not the BEST choice but if you make it yourself, not out of a mix, but with dark chocolate cocoa powder, lowfat milk, and add some other toppings.. it will make you warm and fuzzy while still making you feel like you had a dessert.

Number 7!- This is a huge problem for me.. i really have dry chapped lips and so does Frooty. Now some people when its cold and their lips dry out, they lick their lips (mostly little kids) do you remember when you used to get that red ring around them? Well i do.
So anyways you need to stop licking them first of all. Thats the first point im making today.

You think because they hurt and they are dry you should moisten them and get them to stop being cracked but the cold winter air seriously is a monster and will just take advantage of your weakness and dry your lips and crack them.
Your lips are flaky, cracked, bleeding, dry, ugly..
USE A LIP SCRUB!!!!!!!
You can either buy one, there is some from LUSH.com
Or you can make your own.
I made mine with honey, and sugar and maybe some water.. Just rub some on your lips and rub them around.. this will take of the dry skin, and have them feeling smooth in no time. Right after, use a chapstick, lip balm whatevs. A thick heavy duty sucker for winter.
Vaseline makes really awesome ones i prefer the cocoa butter one.
Jack black, another good one.,
A lighter version, EOS lip balms.
And one more.. rose salve from BBW (smells good and i don't even like roses)
Just keep reapplying. Now don't get addicted like i am.. that actually hurts your lips, doesn't let the skin reproduce properly..And also, if you want to get your lips back in "Shape" but still want to not look dead,, you can always use a tinted lip balm, that moisturizes while giving your lips a faint color.
And then when you want to rock your red lipstick.
You are now ready(:
Thats all for now..
Hopefully this helped you combat the winter (air, cold, everything about winter?!;)..
I worked really hard on this post so hopefully it was helpful? Yes.. no? TELL US!!!!!
Love you guys!!!
