That’s when I felt the need to find a tutorial and learn how to do the hairstyle myself so I could create it for every occasion.

“Merry Christmas” Nail Tutorial
Christmas is that one day of the year where everyone shows love, support and respect to even those who they might not really like. But Christmas is not just about celebrating and eating good food, it is also a reminder to what Jesus Christ did for humanity and regardless of religion, Christmas day makes everyone feel in peace with themselves because there is so much love, peace and happiness in the air.
But there’s a little detail about Christmas that I want to share with you all today, and that is the beautiful Christmas nail that is been going viral the last few days; and in case you haven’t seen yet, now you will.
This beautiful design is easily done and it brings Christmas at the palm of your hand like never before. For making this nail tutorial you will need: silver, white, green and red nail polish, as well as invisible tape.
Start by applying a coat of white nail polish on your nails, except the ring finger (look at the picture below). For the ring finger we have another nail polish that needs to be applied and that is the silver nail polish. After applying these first two nail polish, let it dry and make ready some small stripes of tape in order to create the beautiful shape of Christmas tree.
Place the tape stripes such as the third picture indicates on all of your nails and then apply a red coat on your nails except on your ring nails, because there you will apply green nail polish. Using a stick such as shown in the picture number three, add a small embellishment (meant to be the start on the top of the tree) by gluing it carefully. Let it all dry and there you have it! Welcome Christmas like never before with this gorgeous nail design.

Add Lace To Your Old Pair Of Flats
I have bought so many pair of new flats for this autumn but still feeling bad with the idea of throwing away my old pair. Not only because I have paid a good price to have them, but also because some look very pretty, just in some areas need a good cover up. That’s when I got the idea to cover my old pair of flats with beautiful lace. Lace is a trend that is here to stay and we saw it everywhere last autumn, from jackets, to shoes and dresses; and this year is not going to be any different. Lace is very feminine and stylish that’s why be sure that once you add lace to your old shoes, they will look absolutely stunning.
You can choose any color you like, although i would also consider the flats color before adding some intense lace. All you need is glue and lace. Start by covering and gluing them everywhere such as the picture below indicates. Choose a lace that has beautiful design in them so your flats look stylish and pretty. Cut the extra lace after gluing it, and there you have it. Beautiful lace flats in only few steps. It takes less than ten minutes and you don’t have to throw away your old flats, at least not yet. I love re-designing old stuff at this is an idea i got when i saw a bag covered with lace. It made me think, if a handbag looks so nice covered in lace, shoes will do also? and in my opinion, the absolutely do! Try it and you will not be disappointed.

Makeup Brush Cleaner
I came across with this amazing tutorial that really amazed me. You know, I love tutorials because they are great for people that don’t like spending a lot of money on makeup, creams or even brush cleaners -as in my opinion is no reasonable to spend money on brush cleaners especially as you have to clean them often which means more money to spend and believe me, in these tough economic days you don’t want to go and spend your hard earned money on makeup brush cleaners.
But you can now make your own brush cleaner in a very fast and inexpensive way. How? By mixing together 1/2 olive oil, 1/2 dishwasher soap. Yes that’s all you need! From now on, you will have soft cleaned makeup brush anytime you want.
Unique Nail Art Tutorial
I bought a full pack of 50 fake nails for only 3$ on the web and absolutely loved them. Whenever I get bored I take them and then glue them again, it works great. Saying that, after applying the long fake nails, apply white nail polish so you can make the French design first or if you like there are some fake nails that come in French design. About painting the blue flower there are many ways you can do it. I have bought a pack of 3D nail colours and they work great. They didn’t come with a brush but that’s okay, I bought a small brush by myself and I learned through picture tutorials how to do the best flower designs and that’s why this one here is a great way for you to get started and make your nails look awesome. This design looks sophisticated clean and very feminine. Worth doing it for winter or summer, it doesn’t matter because it looks very delicate and sexy at same time.
Simply follow this super easy tutorial below and you will have the best design ever!
Pretty as a Peacock Nails Tutorial
This nail design reminds me of a peacock and let me tell you, with the right tips, you can achieve this design in less then 4 minutes! I believe the picture tutorial below shows you exactly what you need to know and how to apply the manicure, but I think I am going to give a more detailed information on how to actually do it. Start by applying a thin layer of base coat such as shown in the first picture. You will need yellow, green and white nail polish in order to achieve this tutorial.
Apply colour lines such as shown in the picture below. Now, you can choose any colour you like but if you want the exact same result as the one in this picture then you should apply the same colours.
With a small brush “pull” the lines up such as shown in the third picture. Let it dry and that is! It’s so easy, yet not many are aware of this nail design which takes only few minutes. Give it a go and enjoy doing it.
As it is autumn/winter now, you can work with colours such as purple, red, gold, or even grey/black for a more intense result. It all depends on personal style but myself would love a combination of purple and pink; I think it would look terrific!

Red and White-Nail Tutorial
I love the white colour for the only reason that it looks clean, as well because it matches with all colour outfits. But you know what would be even better? to have a beautiful nail design that involves white and red.
This tutorial by farthest one of my favourite of all. Start by applying a coat of white nail polish. If needed, apply a second coat to make it better.
Take a red nail Polish and apply three dots on the shape of a triangle such as shown in the third picture. After applying the three dots, then take the white nail polish back and add three small dots on top of the red dots you had already applied. Now the trick is not to let it dry before you apply the white dots.
Take a small brush and give the dots the shape of flowers such as shown in the fifth picture. Easy as that. If you don’t have a brush, then take a tooth stick to create the flowers. Works nearly the same way.
You can either apply this design in all of your nails, or simply on the ringer finger. I like to create the designs only on my ring finger because I think it is just too much to decorate all of your nails with the same design but that might be just me. I like simple things and that’s one of the reasons I like this design. It is perfect for special occasions-but at the same time I think it can be designed even as part of daily look. Enjoy creating it, it only takes five steps to do it!

How to Do French Manicure -Super Easy Way
French manicure is one of the most popular, clean looking style ever! I love it because it makes your nail look polished and very elegant. However, going to beauty salon and have your nails done costs, and we don’t want to spend our money on manicures when there are so many others things more important to spend your money on.
French manicure is not hard to do yourself. But with the right tips you can make it more enjoyable and easy. I know that most people like to use normal tape but the difference to that from the one on the tutorial below is that normal tape will make a very straight line which doesn’t look that good on the corners because it leaves quite a big space un-polished. But this one that comes in a circular shapes is more idea as it suits perfectly to the shape of your nail.
Even though we have chose yellow neon manicure in this picture, that doesn’t mean that you can try different colours. This is a funky look but more women choose the white because it looks more sophisticated and feminine. Whatever job you do, French manicure is going to suit and look perfect not only for work but school also.
I hate how other manicures have to be combined or look too bold after the first day and for example if you apply a pink manicure you have to watch out hat you wear or what accessories you put; but that all changes when you apply French manicure.
Simply follow this easy picture tutorial and you are going to make the fastest, cheapest French manicure ever! Enjoy and have fun doing it.
Pom-Pom Sweater
I love DIY, in particular the ones like this, that shows you amazing ways to decorate your old ‘boring’ sweaters. Plain sweaters come in a very cheap price and maybe that is the reason why most women choose to buy a simple one but then when looking at it, mot of us wish to have wait a bit longer, saved the money and bought an embellished one! But this will not be a problem from now on and that is because I will show you a cheap and amazing way on how to decorate your sweaters for this autumn/winter 2013!
All you need are cotton balls and knowing the basic rules on sewing! You don’t need to be a pro, just to sew them in the right way and the right place. Actually if the idea of sewing cotton balls doesn’t attract you then don’t worry, there are numberless of other embellishments you can try! Maybe rhinestones or sparkly stones sound better to you, then go ahead and give it a go! A good idea would also be for you to attach studs and spikes over you sweater! But I think the cotton balls are more suitable considering the cold weather these days. You can choose different cotton balls also, although this ones are white that doesn’t mean that your choices are limited-not at all! This is one of the easiest tutorials ever, I don’t claim to have invented this but to be honest it doesn’t matter! Important is to share it around so everyone learns about it. It doesn’t take much of a tutorial to know this but the idea is genius and I absolutely love it! Can’t wait to try it myself!

Fashion Shoes Decoration
We all have a pair of shoes that are just too plain and simple to wear, and most of the time, this shoes get forgotten in a dark spot of the closet; but this doesn’t have to be like this. What I hate most is having thousands pair of shoes that for sure will not have the chance to wear more than once or twice and to be honest I don’t think considering the financial crisis, buying many pair of shoes is really an option. For this winter 2013 I have bought only three pair of shoes and I don’t think I will buy anymore, or at least for now.
If you have a pair of simple black (or any other colour) sandals that you no longer wear and are thinking of throwing them away, wait! I am about to show you one of the easiest, cheapest and awesome ways on how to decorate your simple sandals. What you need? A sewing machine would be ideal but if you don’t have any and you don’t mind sewing by hand then that would be great also! Black elastic stripes or any other black fabric you might have.
Follow the picture tutorial below on how to do it and where to place. If you like ruffles then this design is perfect for you! This is an elegant design that is going to amaze you and make you fall in love once again! I love shoe tutorials, especially the ones like this, that teaches you new things which are easy to follow and give great results!
Multi Colored Yo-Yo Pillow Tutorial
Do you like sewing things by yourself on your free time? If yes, then you should definitely have a look at this gorgeous tutorial. I love having a beautiful bedroom and one thing is for sure, pillows make a big difference to how your bedroom looks like. I know that nowadays is very easy to go in the market and buy a gorgeous pillow for 5$, but that’s not the same as the one in which you have invested your time and emotions into.
The beauty of the Yo-Yo Pillow’s is that you can play around with colours, design and all the rest. It doesn’t have to be the exact same as the one in the picture. You can add a bit different things and still look cute and well done.
For this tutorial you will need assorted buttons, fabric of different colour and material, scissors and of course, a pillow! Cut the fabric as the picture indicates, which means in same size. In order to get the pleated pinwheel, you will need to sew the fabric based on the tutorial below.
Repeat the same process for all the fabrics and when you have around 20-30 pinwheel, get ready to sew them into the pillow. Once you do that, take a picture and share it with us, your friends and your family. It is worth showing something which you feel proud of. You can do this as a gift for someone or simply to place them in your bedroom.

Sparkling Nail Tutorial
Apply the purple coat afterwards in a fading way such as shown in the picture. The fading impression of this manicure is also called Ombre style which has been very popular this summer with skirts and tops. But when it comes to manicures, this style it never goes out of fashion.
After applying the purple nail polish in a fading way, then let it dry before applying the glitter nail polish. If you don’t have a purple glitter nail polish, a grey or colourless one would do fine also but of course it is best to have all the products such as required if you want to have the result such as shown below. Apply the glitter coat and apply a second coat by the end of your nails if you want to have more glitter there.

10 Beauty Uses of Baking Soda
1-Facial Scrub: Exfoliate your face skin using baking soda. In a small cup add about three parts of baking soda and one part water. Mix it together until it becomes like a paste and then apply it all over your face.
2-Remove Buildup in Hair: Use this once a week to get rid of the excess buildup from your hair. Add 50/50 shampoo and baking soda then wash your hair with it as you would normally do.
3-Brush and whiten teeth: white teeth are one of the most beautiful face features and you better keep them wait. But the dental prices are not affordable by everyone, that’s why using baking soda to whiten your teeth is one of the best and cheaper ways you will ever hear about.
4-Clean Combs and Brushes:Mix hot water and baking soda to clean the greasy brushes and combs.
5-Soften Cuticles: I know that oil hand is very cheap but in case you don’t have any when needed, try using baking soda instead of the oil. With a soft unused toothbrush exfoliate and soften your cuticles.
