I came up with a very refreshing bright look.  It reminds me of strawberries & watermelons.  A nice simple bright eye to go with bright pink lips.  My set up is different and I'm still in the process of making my set up better for recording.  But I hope the lighting for this video was better.  Here are a few pictures of the look.

Shoe of the month: July

I skipped the month of June because there wasn't anything interesting going on in terms of shoes.  But I just posted my July shoe of the month video.  These are some good ones.  I talk about my Nike high tops & 5" 1/2" Colin Stuart Buckle Sandal color blocking heels.  So fun to wear!  The Nike's were found at a outlet store in Japan that had many US stores.  They were only $30.  As for the heels you can pick those bad boys up online at Victoria's Secret.  They have 2 other color combinations as well.  Those were a bit more but so worth it..$78.  The only thing that I have to comment on about the heels are I wish the straps had more holes to farther adjust the straps.  Especially for people with a more narrow foot/ankle it may be a bit loose.  I'm eventually going to create more holes on the straps myself.

Shave Ice eyes

Hello everyone,

A couple days ago I created this look inspired by shave ice.  Back home my friends and i would go to the beach and after it was no question that we would go to Matsumoto's shave ice to get our favorite after the beach snack.  Since I can't get that here I created a look that reminds me of those times I spent at North Shore.  I'll be filming a tutorial within the next 2 weeks.  I'm really loving this look.  What do you think??
Here are a couple pictures.

Homemade How-to: Honey Sugar Olive Oil Lip Scrub

Sorry I'm a few days late but I recently did a video showing you how to make a homemade edible yummy lip scrub.  It'll help you achieve those soft lips.  :) Add as much Sugar as you do Honey.  Then add about a fourth of olive oil than you did sugar.  Mix it together to get a nice consistency.  You don't want the mixture to be too runny or too thick.  If you prefer not to use olive oil you may have to add more honey.  Damp your lips with water.  Rub some of the scrub on with you fingers or a toothbrush in a circular motion (getting rid of all the dead skin).  Then rinse of with luke warm water.  Apply your favorite lip balm.  Enjoy your soft kissable lips!!!  

Things you need:
-Honey
-Granulated White Sugar (or Salt if you don't have sugar or if you prefer salt)
-Olive oil
-A container to put the lip scrub in
-A spoon or measuring spoon
