The Truth: Do You Really Need To Wash Your Jeans?

A good pair of jeans can be a girl's best friend. You know what I'm talking about! The jeans that make an outfit come together, the jeans that are just the right color, the jeans that fit your posterior just right. ;) My favorite jeans come from American Eagle. They are super soft, and stretchy, and AE is the only place I can find where the jeans fit PERFECTLY.
Are you taking proper care of your jeans? Jeans were originally created to be used by hard working men, that completed very taxing jobs. They can withstand a lot! In reality, you don't need to wash your jeans after every use.

What... you are telling me to not wash my clothes? That's disgusting!

I'm serious! Even the CEO of the Levi's Company, confessed he didn't wash his jeans regularly, in fact he hadn't washed his in up to a year. If you are worried about odor...

1)  VICTORIA DAWSON HOFF AND LAUREN LEVINSON 
from Elle Magazine recommend freezing your jeans? Intrigued? Here is the link to their article: http://www.elle.com/fashion/news/a18776/levis-jeans-in-bag/

2) Another way to eliminate odor? Reviewed.com recommends,among other things, giving your jeans a steam shower. So while your lathering, and finishing up your nightly routine, your jeans can also get clean.

So next time you are tempted to toss your jeans in the abyss that is your laundry basket, remember you know the truth! Have a WONDERFUL, AMAZING, AND BEAUTIFUL DAY!

Into it or Over It: Spidery Lashes

The one item I can never go out of the house without putting on, is mascara. Its the one part of my daily makeup routine that I enjoy the most. My eye lashes are also pretty long, and without mascara they stick straight out. But the minute I swipe on mascara, I feel like I can conquer the world. The one thing I always strive, but perhaps never truly achieve, are clump free lashes! However the one trend that popped up constantly at New York Fashion was

Spidery Lashes...ugh. Makeup on the runway is always evolving. But this blast from the past, is not something I am going to be trying any time soon. I can't handle it. I want to rush into these pics with a lash comb and go to town. I just can't imagine walking out of my house like that! I thinks it's safe to say I'm COMPLETELY OVER IT.

A Barbie Revolution!

http://shop.mattel.com/family/index.jsp?categoryId=45063936

 After years of being blond, forced arched, and unrealistically proportioned... Barbie has been given a reboot. The new "Fashionistas" Line promotes body confidence for all shapes ,  sizes, hair-types, and races. Barbie is redefining what it means to be beautiful and encouraging a whole new generation of girls to see beauty in a new light. The original Barbie design is included in the new line, but she is accompanied by a whole new squad of  fabulous counterparts.  I think this is just amazing. Many young girls and boys alike struggle with body confidence issues, stemming from being bombarded with false images of what the human body really looks like. By changing the narrative from the beginning, we may be able to see a shift in the next generation of teenagers. I'm excited to see how this change, impacts others. Let's keep the conversation going! What do you think? Leave your comments below...

LoracPro Pallet

I received this pallet as a gift from my Mama. I really enjoy this collection of shadows. Not only does it contain very wearable looks, you can also create looks for formal events. The top row of shadows are all matte shadows while they bottom row are all shimmers. I love that the designer chose to do it this way. The color pigmentation is vibrant, and I've noticed by the end of the day the shadow does not collect up in the crease. This pallet is very convenient, its very thin and sleek. Definitely great for travel, which is great because I travel a lot! One of my favorites for sure. The provided eye primer also is amazing, it definitely kept my HOCO ensemble together :)
