Eye Makeup That Lasts All Day
My day starts early. Every morning my alarm goes off at 6am and for the next 16 hours, chaos ensues. By the end of the day, I would look in the mirror and look so haggard. My eye shadow had completely creased into my eye lid, my eyeliner was smudged, and my mascara was flaking off. I looked like crap! I had to find a way to get my eye make up to last so that I still looked refreshed by the end of the day. Here is my new beauty routine:

The Importance of Looking Your Best
I started this blog about a year and a half ago because I wanted to inspire other stay-at-home moms to not give in to the “mom-rut”. As moms, we are unanimously tired. There’s barely enough time to drink a cup of coffee and scarf down a piece of toast in the mornings, let alone time to shower, get dressed, do your hair and put on make-up. Well, I’m here to tell you, MAKE TIME. And this is why….

How to Achieve Long Loose Waves
Nume Curling Wand
“I am only as strong as the coffee I drink and the hairspray I use.”
Long waves are cause of a lot of hair envy in the beauty world. Those soft, touchable curls are the reason I’ve been growing my hair out for the past couples years. I rarely ever wear my hair straight anymore, as I find it just looks too thin. Curls are a great way to add volume and make your hair look thicker. It also gives your overall appearance a more classy and feminine look.
Washing and drying your hair everyday is extremely damaging. I like to get a few days out of my curls, so the Nume Classic Wand has been an amazing addition to my beauty routine. I love how quickly it heats up and the short amount of time it takes to curl each strand. This wand comes in three sizes: 19mm, 25mm and 32mm. I use the 25mm barrel because my hair doesn’t hold the curl if I go any larger. Don’t worry if your curls are a bit tight, as they will gradually fall throughout the day, giving you looser waves.
Tips for achieving this wavy curl with the Nume Classic Curling Wand:
- Wash and blow dry hair.
- Start at the front, separate a 1.5″ section of hair.
- Start your curl level with your nose, wrap from the TOP DOWN and wrap AWAY from your face.
- Hold for ten seconds and release.
- Continue around until you reach the back of your head, starting at the same level and wrapping in the same direction.
- Now begin at the other side of your face and mimic the exact same thing.
- Use a bit of mousse to scrunch up your curls and then follow with hairspray.
- Voila! this stye takes me about 10 minutes to achieve and lasts for 2-3 days!
