Living In The Happy Moments: Taking A Much Needed Drink

As you can see, the header has changed to a little banner I made. The title of this blog has also changed. It's now called : As She Sees It but the URL has not changed. Instead of doing Things I Found Thursdays today, I decided to start a new blog series called Living In The Happy Moments or as short, LITHM. It will talk about the happy things in life. I got really inspired after reading The Book Of Awesome so I wanted to start a blog series about happy things instead of just ranting. 

Taking A Much Needed Drink

You know that feeling when you're at school or in a store and you just suddenly get really thirsty? Your throat goes all dry and your tongue just kind of flops there. Then you get home and you pour yourself some juice or water and your whole body is relieved. Maybe you pant after drinking or maybe you just relax and thank the world for juice.

work in progress

I was really bored with what the blog looked like and I wanted to change it up so I'm working on it slowly and I don't think I'll be posting because I want to get this makeover done so I'm just saying...

How To Make Your Own Nail Stickers

I've always loved nail art and nail design and things like that so I wanted to do a tutorial on it because I haven't done a tutorial in a long time. 


You will need:
-tweezers
-nail polish
- a plastic bag

1. On the plastic bag, make a heart. Make sure the size of the heart is equal to the size of the nail. The heart should be able to fit onto the nail. 

2. Let the hearts dry for about a day.

3. Take your tweezers and gently lift the heart off the plastic bag.

The above picture is what happens if you don't seal it with a top coat.

The green heart is really messed up and my finger nails look disgusting.

Weekend Shots (Saturday)

I have alot of stuff to do this weekend but I wanted to show some simple shots from what I did today. 

I downloaded this new app called Sketchbook Mobile that lets you draw on your pictures. A Beautiful Mess did a post about that. I actually started trying to make a friendship bracelet using embroidery thread and so far, all I have is a knot. A big knot.

I also painted my nails a pretty pink ( some Zoya colour) and it was almost nude and I looked down at my nails and they were chipped. Why?

I was in a big rush after I had done my nails so instead of applying a top coat, I used Revlon Crazy Shine instead. It's a buffer and a shiner(?) and it's super useful!


This was Saturday, I'll do Sunday tomorrow.

Last week's post was on nails and if you haven't seen it yet, click here!


The Beauty Department: One Sided Braid

(via)

I've been a big fan of this site for a long time now and I really liked the look of this braid. It's basically like a French braid but on one side only. 
Go to TBD to figure out how to do it!


HairandMake-up by Steph: Flat Iron Curls

These curls are so beachy and wonderful! I have a flat iron and I'm just dying to try it out!

The Beauty Department: Dipped Dyed Tips

I really love this idea because it looks really interesting and different. These would be really fun in a fishtail braid!

A Beautiful Mess: How To Style Pin Curls

(Via)

 I love this idea! You twist your hair and place it and when it dries and you unroll it, it is curly! 
Get pin curls!

adventures with food!

I admit, I am a pretty gross person when it comes to food. I'm the person that will try and mix 2 different foods together to make one bigger better piece! I've tried pickles with peanut butter. (EWWW!) That didn't work out. But today, I tried melted marshmallow in icecream. A tutorial for this will be up soon so keep your eyes open!

How I Live My Life: Beauty Haul!

K, first things first. I'm sorry that I haven't been posting as often as I should have. I have no energy or inspiration sometimes and I find it really hard to just get up and write. Sometimes I write 3-4 posts in a day and then I don't write for a week. I feel bad but I can't just get up and have inspiration. I feel like nobody really reads this and maybe I should just stop and not write anymore. Please comment if you find this untrue or if you like the blog and you want me to continue. Anyways, onto the beauty haul.


Note: I took these pictures with my cell phone so they might not be as high quality as you are used to seeing but my camera has to emptied out or I have to go buy a new SD card. Sorry!

TRESemme: Tres Two Extra Hold

I originally bought this as a travel size hairspray that I would use once but this stuff is good. I think the hold is nice and it's not too smelly or anything. It also doesn't make you hair feel crunchy. The only set back is that it gets really tight and dry and you can literally peel the dried hairspray pieces off if you run your fingers through your hair too many times.

Bath And Body Works: Paris Amour Body Mist

This is honestly the first thing I have bought from Bath And Body Works. I thought that their scent was really strong so I would never go in but on this one occasion I did and now I'm hooked.  Paris Amour is feminine  but not too formal. I try and spray it into my hair so it's not too strong and too overpowering.

The Body Shop: Born Lippy Watermelon

The flavour on this is really sweet and watermelony and it moisturises really well. The things that I really love about it is that the flavour is sweet but at the same time it's not like bubble gum mixed with sugar sweet, it's just watermelon sweet.
