Oh beloved summer, farewell my friend! As we say goodbye to one season, we quickly welcome another. As the weather changes so should your hair routine. You've probably subjected your hair to all the salt water, UV rays, and chlorine it could stand. Your hair needs a reset button from all of this.

As a beauty queen, it is my job to make sure that in all situations I put my best foot forward. However, for me, it is more important to feel like a million bucks. Focusing on eating healthy and maintaining an active lifestyle definitely helps with that. Growing up, I haven’t always had the most positive self-image. Being the super skinny girl around my beautiful friends with curves (because southern girls have curves) made me envious of them. But, throughout the years, I have learned to accept what God has given me. I learned to love myself from the inside out. “Outer beauty attracts, but inner beauty captivates.” ― Kate Angell                         ...

Start with cleansed, moisturized skin. Before applying any make up to your face, ensure that your skin is clean and you have applied a good moisturizer.

Not everyone is born with the talent for painting nails perfectly. When I first started painting my nails I absolutely HATED it because I was so rubbish at it. I would get nail polish all over my fingers, outside of my nails, and cleaning it up would take even longer than painting my nails.
