Stay Hydrated For Summer!

this is a more indepth post like i used to do so hopefully you enjoy!
hey guys.. todays post is all about staying hydrated in the summer..5 different ways and 5 different products. inside, outside.. continue reading and you will understand what i mean;))


``````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````
1) The most obvious one.. drink liquids!! you are probably thinking.. duh. drink water. but i understand a lot of people don't like water.. but its so so so important to drink a lot of water each day. it helps your skin, your body, and just all around makes you feel better and be healthier. So i have a couple of options for people that don't like regular, plain, boring, tasteless, water.. you can use flavor drops.. like dasani, or mio. Dasani has great flavors like pina colada, 
strawberry lemonade, and even strawberry kiwi! You don't need much to flavor a whole bottle of water but you get great flavor and you drink your water and enjoy it!! :)

2) Hydrate your face! This probably sounds weird like whaa hydrate your face? but i pretty much mean moisturize. lol. In the summer we are out in the sun and that drys out our skin, swimming with chlorine definitely drys out the skin and basically any traveling can make your skin dry .. trust me;) So what can you do?! I will give you 2 different ideas for hydrating your skin from the dryness of summer (does that make sense.. didn't think so) 1st. use a face mask! there is facial masks for every type of skin problem, type, ect. anything you have wrong with your skin there is a face mask you can use. trust me. So sometimes you want to go organic and make your own which saves money and really can help and be a fun thing for friends (remember Frooty? my birthday party?:) here is a moisturizing face mask recipe for hydrating dry, parched, summer skin. 
Avocado Face Mask for Dry Skin
homeade avocado mask for dry skin! 
  • ½ very ripe, soft avocado (a really great moisturizing food item that is used in a lot of facial things!)
¼ cup honey (honey is known for its moisturizing properties that really helps sunburned dry skin!) 

all you need to do is mash up the avocado, which is why you need to make sure its a ripe soft one so its easy to mash into a "paste" then you just need to stir in the honey, and apply to your face for 10 minutes and wipe off with a warm washcloth. yay!

Simple Vital Vitamin Day Cream2nd- just use a really nice moisturizer with some type of aloe or refreshing ingredient in it! the one on the right of this section of words is by the brand Simple.. which is a really good brand for sensitive skin which is what you usually have in the summer, and is a day cream which is especially good for summer since it has spf in it to protect your face from the sun :p




3- Moisturize your body!! This is important because your body is probably even more in the chlorine, than your face would be and my body, legs, arms, stomach personally get super dry after i swim. so i need a good moisturizer and one i have really been liking for summer is the Vaseline spray and go. I have the "scent" cocoa butter but there is 3 different types, like aloe which is great for burnt skin and there is an original i believe which is called total moisture. They are so easy for summer, and really glowy and mine smells so so good:)) 


4- your lips! your lips are just like you face and rest of your body.. they get chapped from the sun and could definitely get sun burned which legit sucks, and it definitely can happen!!so what can i do to prevent flaky, peeling, nasty lips??! use a scrub.. duhh

This is like a no brainer to use a lip exfoliator in summer time just so you can apply lipsticks better they go on smoother and your lips dont look like you have a disease. 

honey
brown sugar
olive oil/ coconut oil

mix. scrub on lips. lick off. yay. 

bout as easy as it gets ;) you can also add different flavorings ect to make it what you want to taste like!!

then after you use your exfoliator you should apply a good spf lipbalm and my favorite for the summer time is one of the baby lips.. select ones have spf but you just need to look on the tube/packaging and you will find out if you are purchasing the right one! you get moisturization (if i spell anything wrong forgive me) protection, and depending a really cute tint of color:) go get chu some! (eleventhgorgeous on youtube)


actually.. im sorry but i only have four. lol this was a fail but hopefully you enjoyed the four tips i have for staying hydrated inside and out during the summer time;)

Hey guys...
Todays post is kinda bittersweet because its about something that really makes me sad..

It's about Talia Joy Castellano, or some of you may know her at taliajoy18 from youtube or twitter.

First let me tell you how I found out about her story....


When i got addicted to youtube makeup videos everyone was talking about a girl named Talia.. and how she was so so good at makeup, and had cancer. I didn't start watching Talia because of her cancer, i watched her because she created amazing videos.

that is her link. make sure 100% to check out her videos before you read anymore of this post.


"Makeup is my wig." -taliajoy


that was what she said.. because she lost her hair to cancer and chemo therapy, most people in those circumstances would've worn a wig but those seemed to bug her, maybe because they were fake hair but she never wore a wig.. she said makeup was her wig and it made her confident.



She was 13 years old.. 13.



Her stats.

youtube- 943,798 subscribers.

twitter- 217,683 followers


in only 13 short years.. (well less than thirteen but still)
she earned so so so many followers, 
that loved her, cared for her and still do!

she was absolutely a genius with makeup,
 knew everything there was to know.

she was 13! she was really a special girl.


she was diagnosed with cancer at a really 
young age.. 
and battled better than any grown man could.

she made the best of everything and was 
spunky, energetic and really thoughtful.


she met ellen, which was her dream 
and got to be on her show and become 
an honorary covergirl. <3

she did so much in her short 13 years that 
most people can't do in their whole long lifetime.


she inspired girls all over the 
world with makeup.
she got to be on ellen and become 

an honorary covergirl.
she inspired kids living with cancer 
to never give up.

no one could tell her she couldn't do it..
 because she COULD DO IT!

if you want to learn more about talias journey her wonderful 
family and support system, 

go to the angelsfortalia facebook page.

and watch her videos please.. she can tell you her story
 herself and
 you can see why she was so wonderful.


talia passed away only july 16th 2013, and i was 
absolutely shocked..

she wont ever make a new video again, she wont ever 
update her 
twitter, it just makes me so so sad..
but i cant even understand how her family must feel.

to end this post i will insert pictures of talia just so you can see her makeup and how amazing she really was..


rest in peace talia.. even though you didn't know i even exsisted i really really appreciate all you did for this world.

love you talia.

cheerios

i absolutely love it.. absolutely amazing.

Photo: #taliaslegacy Talia's service today was so touching. She looked simply beautiful and perfectly peaceful. She looked... well, like Talia... Over the last few months while Talia was in the hospital, when Talia knew she would soon pass, she got her "girls" together and told them how she wanted her service down to the last detail. She told them how she wanted her makeup, nails, hair, what she wanted to wear, what perfume she wanted to have on and especially what she wanted to go in her casket to stay with her little body once she was laid to rest, mostly makeup and her COVERGIRL plaque. She was very specific about the photos, music, balloons and was adamant that no one was to wear black or purple, lol. 

Desiree, Mattia, Tammy, Lea and Urbana did her makeup, nails and dressed her sweet little body in the makeup and nail polish she picked out and the clothes she, herself designed. Talia would have absolutely loved the way she looked and would not have had it any other way. The venue was the perfect size, each one of the family and friends who got up to speak told a personal story about how Talia touched their heart, all the photos around the room and on the slide show were beautiful, the flowers and candles glowed and filled the room with light, the pink, green and turquoise balloons that we wrote messages and secrets on to let go into the peaceful sky at the end flew high. 

We then went to the cemetery where the rest of the family joined for a traditional Jewish burial. The Rabbi's message was so powerful and strong and the prayers brought much needed peace. It was a hard day, but went so well. We know Talia orchestrated this before she left and then from above to be just perfect. Fly high baby girl and know that your service and ceremony was beautiful, just like you would have wanted it. We all love and miss you dearly...

these balloons were released at her funeral/wake not sure which,. absolutely beautiful
