5 Easy Tips for Long Luscious Hair!

Hydrate!

The easiest tip is keeping hydrated! Your body is more than half water and it works best when it's well hydrated, healthy body = healthy hair!

Regular trims!

Cut my hair, what? I'm trying to grow it out! Over time hair begins to dry out and the ends begin to split, regular trims of just the ends every 2-4 months help prevent split ends from splitting further causing more damage. I trim my hair once every other month.

Vitamins!

Taking a once a day multivitamin helps ensure your body gets all the vitamins it needs that you don't always get from your regular meals, like hydrating your body works best when it has everything it needs. I take my vitamin every morning at breakfast, it's easy to remember and it will benefit me in the long run too!

Avoid heat!

Excessive heat can dry the moisture and oils from your hair making it brittle. It's easier said than done avoiding heat, so when using heat make sure to use a heat protectant!

Treat your hair!

With everything your hair goes through sometimes it needs a little extra love. Hair masks are great for keeping hair smooth and frizz free. A simple at home hair mask I love is 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 of an avocado,  1/2 of a banana, and 2 spoons of my regular hair conditioner. Mix and mash the olive oil, avocado, and banana, heat for 20 seconds, add the hair conditioner apply to ends of hair avoiding the scalp and let sit for 10-15 minutes, then wash your hair like you regularly would!

7 Deadly Sins of Beauty Tag ♡

Hi everyone! So on my quest for new blogs I landed on This lovely blog and since I've had exams for this week and the last two and haven't been able to shoot anything a make up tag sounded perfect ♡

1. GREED: What is your most inexpensive beauty item? What is your most expensive? 

My most inexpensive beauty item I suspect would be my NYC liquid eye liner, depending on where you go it's only about $3 or $4, and it lasts for ages. I wear it most days in the cooler months and spring time because it's not waterproof summer time is a no no!

The most expensive product I would have to say is my clique three step system it's about $70 for a moisturizer, toner and a bar of soap which may not seem like much but it doesn't last for more than a few months because I used it every single day $70 a few times a year can really add up, especially to a college student. 

2. WRATH: What beauty products do you have a love/hate relationship with? 

Liquid foundations/full coverage foundations! They're the bane of my beauty existence, I've got relatively clear skin...that is covered in freckles (thus my blog title, der) with which my freckles seem to have a feud. The hideous colour any liquid foundation seems to turn once they've been carefully layered over my freckles is heinous.  And although I know the eventual outcome will be horrible I continue to purchase liquid foundations with which I only find use when I mix them in with my moisturizing gel as a tinted moisturizer.

3. GLUTTONY: What are your most delicious beauty products? 

If by delicious you mean scent, then sunscreen. My absolute favourite is the Hawaiian Tropic sheer touch sunscreen in 30 SPF if it didn't make me shiny I'd wear it for it's scent alone. I also love Neutrogena sheer touch sunscreen it's a more subtle scent but it still brings me beachy joy and keeps my skin shine free ♡

4. SLOTH: What beauty product do you neglect, due to laziness? 

When I'm low on sleep and instead of doing my makeup I make coffee liquid eyeliner is the first to go. The time and patience it takes to get them neat and even I spent over sleeping instead and opt for light brown pencil eyeliner and an overload of mascara.

5. PRIDE: What beauty product gives you the most self confidence?

Mascara, I would skip all of my other makeup items and only wear mascara and I will be good to go! Maybelline falsies or L'oreal carbon black mascara are both great formulas both of which I prefer not waterproof.

6. LUST: What attributes do you find most attractive in the opposite sex? 

Personality, boys with confidence win my heart ♡

7. ENVY: What items would you most like to receive as a gift?

I'm not much of a cosmetics as gifts person because I tend to be picky but any item and someone who enjoys make up swears by I will be willing to give a try but a safe choice would always be something I already love haha.

I hope you enjoyed this tag, be sure to let me know if you do the tag I'd love to know what your seven deadly sins of beauty are!
