Trendy Tuesday: Everything's Floral and Bright

Hey everyone! This week's outfit is definitely eye catching. Floral shorts were big this spring, and I added hot pink and neon yellow accessories to give them a chic summer update. The shorts and bag were a bit of a splurge, but the top and the earring are great bargains! Comment below and tell me what you would like to see in next week's outfit! Bye for now!

Mani Monday: Patriotic Summer Nails

Hey everyone! Today I'm going to show you how to get some fun, summery, patriotic nails!

Here are the colors I used:

 

White- Sinful Colors "Snow Me White"

Blue- Sinful Colors "Midnight Blue"

Red- Wild Shine "Red Red"

 

1. Start by painting 4 of your nails red, and paint your index finger white.

 

2. When your index finger is 100% DRY, place on skinny pieces of tape to outline where you are going to paint the stripes.

 

3. Carefully after getting most of the nail polish off your brush, lightly paint the stripes in the gaps between the tape.

 

4. As soon as you are done and before the stripes have time to dry, remove the tape.

 

5. Finish with a top coat and you have a fun, striped mani!

 

Optional: If you really like the striped look, you can do it on all of your nails. Alternate the stripe pattern on your nails between blue-red-blue and red-blue-red.

 

There you go, super easy and perfect for July! Comment below and tell me what you would like to see next week on Mani Monday! Bye for now!

 

xoxo, Julia

 

Lazy summer days... Outfit ideas! (:

Hey everyone! If you are anything like me, summer days consist of sleeping in until noon, lounging by the pool, and plenty of ice cream (: This outfit features one of my favorite color combos for summer: turquoise and coral. If I am getting ready on a normal summer day, my outfit usually consists of:
-Fun, colored shorts
-a loose tank top
- simple jewelry
-bright nails
-strappy sandals

If you are going outside, don't forget some sunglasses and a swipe of your favorite lip gloss! Have fun in the sun!

SaturDIY: DIY Desk Makeup Storage!

Hey everybody! Today I will be showing you how to make your own SUPER EASY DIY desk drawer makeup storage! All you will need is:

• shoe box lids(around the same shape and depth)
• wrapping paper in any color
• tape
• scissors
• small boxes or box lids( I used old jewelry boxes)

First, we need to wrap the lids in the wrapping paper. When you are done, it will look like this:

 

 

Start by cutting out a piece of paper big enough to cover the exterior of the box lid, including the sides.

Center the box lid on the wrapping paper, and cut four small slits long enough to be able to be folded over the sides of the box. For me, I cut about 1 inch slits.

 

Then, place the wrapping paper over the box lid.

 

 

Cut another slit perpendicular to the previous slits, so you should cut off 4 1-inch sized squares on all four corners.

 
Then, gently push the wrapping paper into the box lid, pressing the wrapping paper into the inner corners and creasing it.

 

Tape all of the excess wrapping paper around the sides of the box and that's it!

 

You can do this with as many box lids as you need. Then, place them in your drawer and arrange the smaller boxes inside of them. (You can wrap the small boxes, too, I just decided not to.)

When you have them arranged how you like them, fill them with your makeup and voila! Super easy and great if you need some extra makeup storage like me (;

 

 

Hope you guys enjoyed this SaturDIY and I'll see you next Saturday for some more DIY fun!

Workout Wednesday: "Lazy Girl Workout" Ideas!

    
     Hey everybody! Time for Workout Wednesday! I know you are probably wondering how this workout works, but it's not actually a workout at all! The lazy girl workout (well, my version at least) is a list of tips and mini excercises that you can do almost anywhere! I call it a "drops in the bucket" workout, because doing a little at a time will really add up to a healthier you by the end of the summer! This is a great way to keep in shape if you are busy this summer! So, here are my tips on how to get in shape the lazy way!

• 10 situps every time you get out of bed.
• Calf raises for two minutes every time you brush your teeth.
• Push against your doorframe for 10 seconds everytime you enter your bedroom.
• Hold a plank for 30 seconds every commercial break.
• Do 20 crunches before you watch a Youtube video.
• 10 squats before you check your facebook.
• 10 lunges every time you check your twitter.
• 50 jumping jacks every time you have an unhealthy snack.
• 20 mountain climbers when you check your Instagram.
• 60 ski jumps before you turn on Netflix.
• 30 crunches and 30 squats before you go to the pool.
• 20 scissor legs everytime you go to bed.
• Plie squats while you brush your hair.
• Elbow plank every time you eat a candy bar.
• 50 criss cross jumps before you start a movie.
• 10 jumping jacks every time you send a Snapchat.
• 30 bicep curls every time you grab a soda.
• 20 quick jump rope jumps before you open the fridge.

So, obviously, it's impossible to remember all of these! Just pick a few that you will do the most and leave yourself a Post-It note somewhere so you remember! By the end of the summer, you wont think twice about doing calf raises at the sink or squats before you get on facebook. The goal of this workout is not to replace your workout, but to ADD to it and keep you thinking healthy all summer long. Come back next wednesday for some more workout fun!
