Yup! I’m serious. Apparently, according to a recent study done by the University of Scranton has determined that popcorn has beat out some fruits and vegetables when it comes to fiber, whole grain and antioxidant levels. First, Pizza is considered a vegetable (if you missed that blog post CLICK HERE) but now they are saying that popcorn is better for you than fruits and vegetables. Who’s doing these tests? But I’m not a scientist, CLICK HERE to read the article yourself. You be the judge.

Here is another Spring Look for you to try out. Spring is one of my favorite times for makeup. Spring gives you the opportunity to wear very beautiful and bright colors on the eye area, and it just looks so amazing. This look is a little bit of a more dramatic spring look, and is great as an evening look. I really love this eyeshadow combination on brown eyes because the greens and blues give the eyes a very exotic look. Let me know what you guys think. How did the look come out on your eyes?

Primer:
1. Prep and Prime by M.A.C in Medium

Eyeshadows:
1. “Shroom” by M.A.C- all over
2. “Swimming” by M.A.C- lower lid
3. “Freshwater” by M.A.C- crease
4. “Humid” by M.A.C- lower outer corners/half way in crease
5. “Plumage” by M.A.C- outer lower lid only (I don’t say the name of this color in my video)
6. “Gorgeous Gold” by M.A.C- apply over lower lash line over pencil liner
7. “Retrospeck” by M.A.C- brow bone/inner corners of eye

Eyeliner:
1. Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner by L’oreal (black)- top lash line/waterline
2. “Minted” by M.A.C- lower lash line

By qtli3027 On March 21, 2012 In Bag of Tricks, That's my Life With No Comments Permalink

Name: 5 Minute Whitening Gel
Manufacturer: Plus White
Found At: Wal-Mart or Target
Price: $5-$7

Why it’s so great!:I was getting the question: “How do you get your teeth so white?” quite a bit. So, I wanted to share with all of you my tips and tricks on how to get that show stopping smile we all long for. I love the “Plus White” 5 minute Whitening Gel for a few reasons:
1. Easy to use
2. It’s Cheap
3. It WORKS!
What more could a girl ask for?!?!?

Directions:
Step 1: Apply whitening gel to teeth (make sure to get the gel in between teeth
Step 2: Apply mouth trays, and leave on for five minutes
* You can get the mouth guards I talk about in my video at wal-mart for $1.
Step 3: Rinse off, and brush your teeth as normal
Step 4: FLOSS (So important)

You should see results after about 1 week of using the gel. It really does work. A small word of advice, don’t overdue it or your teeth will become sensitive. Happy Whitening!

Stay Cute!

No Skinny Models Allowed!

By qtli3027 On March 20, 2012 In That's my Life With No Comments Permalink

First I want to start out by saying HAPPY FIRST DAY OF SPRING! Today is the official first day of spring for 2012 and here in sunny California it is beautiful outside. I love spring because it symbolizes the start of something new. I will be blogging about some fun spring cleaning ideas, and spring make up looks you can do. However for today I wanted to share with you something that I heard about.

Apparently, Israel has recently passed a law in which super skinny and/or underweight models can no longer be used in any kind of runway show or advertisement. In order for a model to be able to participate they will have to provide a medical letter from a doctor stating that they are within a healthy weight range. Also, all magazine and advertisements must disclose when the picture has been altered. To read more about this new law please CLICK HERE. Below you will find a famous picture of Britney Spears that she released to show everyone how they retouch her body during photo shoots:

Now this is someone who has personal trainers and chefs and even she needs some retouching. How is the average young girl looking at this advertisement suppose to feel about herself?

What do you think about this new law? Do you think it will help to prevent self esteem issues within young woman? Do you feel society puts unrealistic expectations on woman to be thin? Do you think this law should be brought over to the states? Let me know!

Stay Cute!

What Happens In Vegas!

By qtli3027 On March 19, 2012 In That's my Life With 1 Comment Permalink

Hi Everyone-
I hope you all had a very Happy St. Patrick’s Day. For the weekend I went to Las Vegas. I am sure many of you have been there but for anyone who hasn’t I took pictures of some of the things I did there. I don’t drink, so Vegas to me is just a fun place with a lot of fun and exciting things to do =). I hope you all enjoy my adventure!

If you make it to Las Vegas you have to try a place called Seredipity 3. This is a restaurant, but I go there for their famous “Frozen Hot Chocolate” It’s what is pictured below. If you love chocolate than you will love this dessert! Bring your appetite because it is HUGE!

For anyone who hasnt been to Vegas, I wanted to share with you a picture of the Las Vegas strip. Isn’t it beautiful?

The World’s largest iPhone! Just kidding it’s not a real iPhone, but this is a display of a larger than life iPhone for a store this has some of the most BEAUTIFUL iPhone case covers. They are made out of crystals. Please Note: I got yelled at for taking this picture, but I got it for you guys.

So, I almost fell over when I saw this. Did you know there was a camera lens for an iPhone? Yeah, I’m not kidding you can attach a camera lens to your iPhone ad take pictures with it. What will they think of next?

These were amazing! Bags made out of recycled candy wrappers. The bags pictures below are mode out of Jolly Rancher’s, Reese’s and a whole mix of recycled wrappers. So Cool! These bags can be found inside “The Miracle Mile” shops in Planet Hollywood hotel. Unfortunately, I can’t find a website for them.

I wish I could have this light fixture in my room. There are what seems like thousands of crystals suspended in the air to form this circle of crystal, so beautiful.

Look at this cool light that was in my room, it looked like some kind of alien light. I LOVED IT!

This is something that I have never seen before. In one of the hotels there is this HUGE fish tank with all sorts of different kinds of fish. As I was looking at all the beautiful fish, I saw an actual person in the tank with the fish and they were feeding them, BY HAND. In the picture below you will see the person feeding a sting ray.

Here is a picture of the makeup I took with me. When I travel, I try to pack light:

1. Make Up For Ever foundation
2. Laura Mercier Camouflage Concealer
3.Make Up Forever Hd translucent Powder
4. Hourglass Cheek Stain
5. L’oreal Voluminous Smoldering Eyeliner
6. Maybelline Full N’ Soft mascara
7. “Cultured” lipgloss by M.A.C
8. My neutral eyeshadow palette
9. A fluffy brush to apply eyeshadow

Look at these cool lip tattoos. I found them in a candy shop called “Sugar“. They had all sorts of different lip tattoos, but I liked these the best because I am OBSESSED with rainbow sprinkles. I believe these lip tattoos can also be picked up at Sephora as well.

A Bedazzled lollipop. What are they going to think of next? This lollipop comes complete with a cover for the actually candy part of the lollipop, and some BLING BLING for the stick. These lollipop holders can be reused too. They open, you remove the stick once you have finished the lollipop and then replace with a new lollipop of your choosing. Pretty cool! Also, found at: “Sugar”

Well, that’s a couple of pictures from my trip that I wanted to share with all of you…Until next time!

Stay Cute!
