2014 Beauty Trends

Orange Lip Stick

Many models now are sporting the new shade. Will orange become the new red?
Grey Hair
The years and hundreds of dollars women have spent trying to get away the grey is not changing and younger people are now paying to achieve the grey look.  Will dying hair become obsolete? I don't think so but this grey hair has been seen on celebrities like P!nk and Rihanna.

Kale Smoothies

I have to say I'm a victim of this trend but I have to say this is a great trend.  Drinking a smoothie can be very beneficial to your health and an easy way to get your nutrients.  Juice bars are now in malls and have store fronts and some companies offer 3, 5 or 7 day juice cleanses.

Shows to Binge Watch During Christmas Break

Christmas break in my opinion is about relaxing.  Sense I started working I would spend the days of my break working and most breaks working late on Christmas break.  Working is important but don't forget to relax and spend some time for yourself and relax, drink some coco, and watch some tv.
1. Gilmore Girls
This show is about the relationship between a mother and daughter.  The show is about a teenage mother who is now raising a sixteen year old daughter with dealing with her own relationships with her parents and her daughters love life.  

2. Arrow
Warning give yourself time to watch this show because you will not want to leave your couch until you finish.  There are two seasons on netflix, the show is about fictional character Oliver Queen who returns from being on an island after a ship wreck then comes back to protect his town from people who his father believe failed the city.  

3. American Horror Story
To be honest Im not a giant American Horror Story Fan but I do find it a very entertaining idea.  The show now has four season three being on netflix and each season features a different scary story.


4.  Hart Of Dixie
My favorite part of Hart of Dixie is how much you change feeling about the characters when you watch it.  First I hated Jamie King's character Lemon but now she's one of my favorite.  This show doesn't just have a love triangle its more like an awkward pentagon between the main characters.  If anyone reading this watches hart of Dixie heres who I think everyone should end up with.  Lemon and Wade, Levon and Zoe, and George and Annabeth.  

5. Bones
If you plan on watching Bones I would stop when Bones says she's pregnant.  This show was great when they where focused on the murders and not the relationship between Bones and Booth.  The older season and are great especially if you are recovering from getting your wisdom teeth out and need to keep your mind occupied from the pain.

Braids to Wear this Holiday season

Don't Be Common Fashion is Back!

Braided Bangs
Random 2000s trivia Lauren Conrad made this look famous when her bangs where cut too short and she started braiding them to keep them in place.  This braid is perfect for it you are wearing your hair down or in a ponytail and want to add a little style to your hair.  

Waterfall Braid
I love this braid! It is very complicated and takes a few times to get the pattern down but once you get it you will never forget it!

Braid Bun
Running late for your party? A bun braid is perfects because they take less than five minutes and look like they took hours and ounces or hair spray.  Just don't forget bobby pins.
Elsa Braid
Even though I'm not a giant frozen fan this braid is gorgeous and I wish I not only could do this braid but had the gorgeous hair to pull off this braid.  

Happy Holidays!!
