skin care
basically the first step to better skin is drink water. i know you have heard this 1000 timed but i'll say it again you need!!! water! it dosn't mater how expencive the acne and spot treatments are if you don't drink water your skin will never clear up.
you should buy a good face cleanser organic is best because there are less chemicals.Use a dime-sized bit of cleanser, then rinse with cool or lukewarm water. You'll also want to take off your makeup with a proper makeup remover.
exfoliating skin once a week with a microdermabrasion kit keeps skin glowing year-round. Make sure you use a gentle scrub with tiny grains. Big grains in cheap scrubs can tear skin and cause more harm than good. to make a scrub you can get
Honey, Lemon, and Cornmeal that can be found at any grocery store. The medium size bowl will do just fine for mixing these ingredients together.Place 1 cup of cornmeal into the mixing bowl. Squeeze 1 lemon into the mixing bowl. Use the pulp of the lemon as well by spooning out the lemon but discard of the seeds. Squeeze or pour as much honey as it takes to make a creamy texture. Stir. The mixture is now ready to be used or refrigerated.
While in the shower or bath after skin is moistened, gently begin to exfoliate your skin in a circular motion. When cleansing the face keep your eyes closed. Gently scrub the face and neck with the mixture for about 1 minute. Rinse well, especially the eye area. You should notice a definite change in texture in about 3 days, as well as everyone else.This mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks in an airtight container
you must moistrize the skin after you have washed it this is a important step for skin care

ultimate organic therapy tea tree stimulating growth oil
today i purchased ultimate organic therapy tea tree stimulating growth oil. i didn't plan on buying this product but i was in the hair shop looking for somthing else and instead i found a bargin, it was only £1.89 so i purchased it because the price was good for what the product claims it does.so the product claims that it will moistrize the scalp and is an all purpose growth oil help relive dry, itchy,flaky scalp and moistrizes extremely dry and brittle hair. when i read the product i thought it sounded really good. and even if it dosn't work its only cheap. i've see a simular type of oil in the other shops and it costs £6.50 if i buy that and it dosn't work then ive waste more money so thats why i decided to buy the ultimate organic therapy tea tree stimulating growth oil because most growth oils cost more.
what i like about this product is tha packaging the bottle is small and light so its easy to hold in your hand without being to heavy or slippy. there is a needle nose applicator at the top this is good because it will make the applicating to the scalp easier. when the product is finnished i plan on recycling the bottle and putting my own mix of olive oil and castor oil.

how to make skinny jeans & update
this is my newest video! update my birthday on the 29th october, and im starting a challenge im not going to buy no clothes until the 1 of december, to recycle clothes. so this is the first video of my series of recycling clothes you don't need to buy clothes every month. genrally i find my self buying clothes that i could just easily make. so this is why i desided to do this challenge. and i hope you all follow me and join the challenge too make the world a little bit greener.
fashion leaves a pollution footprint, with each step of the clothing life cycle generating potential environmental hazards. For example, polyester, the most widely used manufactured fiber, is made from petroleum. The manufacture of polyester and other synthetic fabrics is an energy-intensive process requiring large amounts of crude oil and releasing emissions acid gases which can cause disease. the waste products of polyester production are put in the water. many textile manufacturing facilities have hazardous waste generators. Much of the cotton produced in the United States is exported to China and other countries with low labor costs, where the material is milled, woven into fabrics, cut, and clothes are made. China is the largest exporter of fast fashion, this means some Chinese workers make as little as 12–18 cents per hour working in poor conditions. And with the fierce global competition that demands ever lower production costs, many clothe companies are lowering clothes prices, even if it means lower wages and poor conditions for workers.
spread the love for handmade clothing and d.i.y clothing its mor eco friendly.

how to make a handmade clothing store
this is probably one of my most asked questions every month someone messages me about this and i tell them the same thing so i think I'll share this with every one who cares to read my blog. the first step to making your own clothing store is to set goals. ask your sell what do you want to achieve and start from there. take Baby steps. If you don't know how to sew, then that should be number one on your list of smaller goals.Be realistic when you're thinking about starting your own clothing business. If you think you're going to make a load of cash selling your clothes, or you think you're going to be an instant success, you're probably going to be incredibly disappointed. when i first started i thought i was going to be a big success but only got about 1 customer a month it takes about a year or two for your website to get well known then you get regular customers.
so probably if your reading this you already know how to sew (the first paragraph was aimed at beginners) are you ready to start selling? Before you can start making cash, you need to know what you're going to sell and who you plan on selling it to. In my opinion, the best and easiest way to be a successful designer is to find a small, specific group of people to sell to, the group of people sell to are people who like cute and girly things like what my store is aimed at. Find what makes your style unique and start there. my clothing is based on my style i love looking cute and girly so the clothes i sell should look cute and girly it shouldn't be punk or sports wear because that's not my style. pick the style that suits you.
now you know your audience time to sell!Take a look around the etsy and do some research. What sells and for how much? Where can you get deals on supplies? places you can sell on Etsy, make your own website , wholesale and ebay (but ebay is not a good idea). for a free option you can choose weebly to make a free website but you will need to promote it lots more because people will find it less eaisly. on etsy people are looking to buy handmade.
pricing the clothes this is the maths bit you need to make profit!!! to make a top i used 1 a yard of the main fabric (£4.00),2 yards of lace (£2.50) ,1 yard of elastic (£1.00) so over all i spent £7.50 to make it. now you need to pay your self a hourly wage minmum wage is £5.50 a hour i spent 2 hours to make this top so it is 5.50 x 2 = £11 so you earn £11 for making it. so the over all price of the top is matirals spent + wage = price
so the top costs £18.50.
photos are everything when it comes to selling online because the buyer can't actually touch or see the item so they have to rely on the photo so you have to make sure its a good photo. One of the most important things you need to know about digital photography is to control the flash. Personally, I hate to rely on the automatic flash that comes with the digital camera. Depending on the situation, you need to switch off or switch on the flash. if you taking photos of clothes its good to have a model and take the photos outside in the natural lighting. (i just use myself as a model get my tripod and use the self timer) I recommend this tip to all budding photographers - camera tripods are an essential tool in your photography arsenal. When will you need a tripod? Well, it's useful if you're taking shots under low-light conditions or trying to capture fast moving objects. I like to use a tripod when taking night shots city streets, for example. Always try to look for a tripod that's convenient to carry around. For personal use, you don't need a huge one - just a simple compact one that's easy to pack.
now finally the clothes are made the shops ready now the packaging. packaging is so important its what makes buying handmade special! your packaging doesn't need to be expensive but it needs to stand out and make the customer want to buy from you again for example making your own clothing tags from card and wrapping your items in magazine paper instead of boring brown. How much time and effort you want to put into your packaging is totally up to you. You can quickly create simple stylish packaging or spend more time creating something totally customized to your business. Another easy option for hang tags is to take your business cards, punch a hole in it, and add a piece of ribbon or string.

hair breakage
The most common treatments for hair breakage are conditioning treatments. There are many moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, and reconstructing or protein conditioners on the market today to help with hair breakage. Just this fact shows that you are not alone in your struggle!Using moisturizing conditioners and deep conditioners are pretty simple.
However, I advise you to be careful when using any type of strong reconstructing conditioner on your hair. These formulations can be very strong in protein and could cause more harm than good. In addition to using special conditioning treatments, you should combine this with the utmost hair care.
Special Hair Care
While I say "special" hair care, I mostly mean things that you should already be doing to your hair anyway! If you're suffering from severe hair breakage, you should treat your hair with extra special care. Eliminate heat, eliminate brushing, and reduce manipulation. The less you're messing with your hair, the less opportunity there is for it to break.
Additionally, you should only use a wide-tooth comb on your hair and make sure to detangle with care. If you're treating your hair with conditioners and handling it with special care and still feel that it is not working, cutting off the damage may be your only option.
Cut if Off
You've either made the choice to cut off your damaged hair or the extra treatment is just not working and it's now your only choice. Whatever the reason, cutting off your damaged hair will give you a fresh start.
Sometimes we may only be able to treat it for so long before we are ready to have completely healthy hair again. The good news is that it grows back! And the even better news is that now you know how to take care of your hair better than before!
So do not be discouraged if this is the only option that you have. It is very difficult to stop hair breakage if not impossible. I lived through a year and a half of treating damaged hair and I was relieved when I finally cut it off!

the world of work
im doing my work expierince now at a textile print studio and its so hard, every day i have to screen print the fabrics by hand. Then i had to hand wash fabric for 8 hours!!!!!! because you can't put it in the washing machine after you have printed the fabric because it could ruin the print so you have to hand wash it and carrying buckets of water to wash it. my arms were tired! lol im gonna build some arm musles. then i spent the day ironing, cutting and packaging fabrics. the work is hard but over all im learning how to screen print and diffrent techniques of fabric dyeing.then the manager told me to clean up bird shit!!!! so i had to wipe it up!!!! then she droped some food on the floor ands she was like " get the work expierince girl to clean it up" i was so pissed off but i had to do it. i had to sweep up food that SHE droped herself. i thought i was doing a textile work expirence but i think i was the maid and cleaner.

how to grow hair faster
Get a little of the massage oil on your fingertips and put them to your scalp and massage your scalp in a circular motion. Do this all over - each time getting additional massage oil. Don't use too much because you don't want to make your hair greasy.
Rosemary Oil
•One other thing you can opt for is to use rosemary oil to make your hair grow more beautiful and shinier.
•It provides better looking hair because it works from the outside and gives a shiny appearance.
•You will also notice that rosemary oil causes your scalp to tingle. This is a good sign in that it is stimulating your hair follicles and circulation which of course, aids in growing hair.
•Pay special attention to this essential oil if you're trying to grow hair fast or increase your regular growth rate.
You can create a perfect combination of oils for your hair by mixing different ratios of the above mentioned remedies.
For example you can use rosemary oil and almond oil at the same time. On one hand almond will perform its strengthening action while on the other hand rosemary will help increase growth rate. In the end you will be left with beautiful hair that is both strong and healthy.
Since there is not much you can do to make your hair grow any faster hair only grow 1/2 inch every month. you can work on making a difference in how much breakage and hair loss you experience on a normal basis. By breakage and hair loss, I am referring to the damage you experience as well as what you do to repair the damage.
For example, if you have split ends, that is a type of damage. Getting a trim to relieve split ends is a form of damage repair. Both of these reduce the amount of hair length that you retain. Thus, limit the damage and reduce the damage repair.
Over time, that will lead to retaining length while at an optimal growth rate.
Growing long hair fast take a huge commitment. Here are a few quick tips for the fastest route to long hair:
•Get a good trim to start.
•Wear your hair up every single day.
•Don't use ANY heat.
•Moisturize hair and ends daily.
•Wash hair every 4 days to every 7 days.
•
•Use the right hair products that contribute to hair growth.
•Take a vitamin that will enable your hair to reach its hair growth potential.
•Deep condition weekly.
•Use a strengthening protein conditioner at least once a month.
•Keep hair moisturized and soft.
•Be extra, extra gentle when combing and styling. Use a good seamless comb that won't snag your hair.
•Don't manipulate the hair much, put it up and leave it alone.
In conclusion to grow long hair fast, you need to get your hair to its optimal growth rate if it isn't there already. Next, you need to focus on retaining length by eliminating damage and damage repair.

goodbye threadbanger
as loyal fan of thread banger i was gutted when i watched the video that they were leaving thread banger. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOwsquic29g
I've been following them for 2 years now and it wasn't a good bye i was not expecting it and it was very sudden and unexplained I'm sure 1000's of other thread banger fans feel the same. Rob and Corinne were the reason why I subscribed to thread banger. I've learnt so much from them one day i was browsing the Internet and i found one the best things that ever happened to me in my life, thread banger. now i had always loved sewing but thread banger changed my life and introduced me to the wonderful world of diy, I'm a diyer for life because of them. i remember watching my first thread banger video and thinking wow i wanna make that, so cut up a old pair of jeans and made my first jean bag and i felt so proud of what i made and ever since that day i knew making things was my passion. so know i want to be a fashion designer and create things that no ones seen before and its all thanks to thread banger if i had never of seen that video i would have never of made my first bag and i would have never been inspired to make clothes and i would have never found my passion. so thank you rob,corinne and meg because i will miss you and so will millions of other thread banger fans and i hope you succeed in your dreams.
now I've been a fan of secret life of a bio nerd for 1 year and a half now and she is very good. she could never replace thread banger but people should give her a chance because she also inspired me and she is a very good seamstress. i give her tutorials 9/10 they are very good, she might not be thread banger but at least she is trying. i suport K.L people should give her a chance its not her fault rob, corinne and meg are leaving.
im a seamstress on youtube too and it is the art of diy i want to share even if i inspire one person i want to continue the spirt of thread banger although im nothing like thread banger i still want to share my diy projects with any one who will watch. http://www.youtube.com/user/chantellefashion

confessions of a ugly girl
i've been shopping, hee hee how can a broke girl shop? beg mummy for money (yess i know sad). well what i've been up to latly is finding and making cute clothes im going to add two new cute top to my clothing store once i have finnished making them.
i went a little crazy with my nails painted each nail a diffrent colour ten colurs for 10 fingers.
look at these two pictures below before photoshop and after photoshop.
See, I don't deny that I was born ugly.Then we come to the make up bit.
Please understand. What if you are born ugly, BUT, you are blessed with a skill? A skill so valuable With the skill, you can make yourself look better with make up and photoshop. With the two, you can feel more confident of yourself, and make others view you in a better light as well. Miraculously, you can have the opposite sex's attention, without even doing plastic surgery on urself.
you can fake it with make up in the pictures above i have faked bigger and brighter eyes with makeup if you saw me in real life my eye wouldn't look that pretty. then i have removed blemishes and my bad skin with photoshop, now don't get me wrong im not vein im actually far from it i have low self esteem in the real world but on the Internet i can fake it a be "the perfect girl" a "pretty girl" this is the image i want to portray to my YouTube viewers. but actual i thunk im so ugly. but when i show these pictures on YouTube and i get so many comment telling me im pretty this makes me happy! because it give me confidence. this is why i fake my picture im not trying to desive anyone what wrong with using a little photoshop to change your image celebrity's do it all the time.
Having a choice between being all natural but ugly, and made-up but beautiful, I choose the latter. There is nothing wrong with my decision at all. If you are feeling pissed that some people did not manage to see through the make-up and photoshop and decided that I am a natural beauty, well, its their stupidity and there is nothing you can do about it

i just finished two more designs for my clothing range and its called the feminine collection just because all the clothes in this collection are what i would call feminine and girly. i made two silk skirts based on hime style Hime is the Japanese word for princess A Hime Gal (or Hime Gyaru) is a young woman with elegant and sophisticated style. She looks like a princess, everything she wears is feminine, sexy and high class. You all know that Hime Gyarus (princess girls) wear over the top frills and lace, jewels, bows and pearls, basically resembling a 'modern' 18th Century European Princess. Their style basically screams richness and royalty!! so i hope you like my kawaii style clothes. i made some super cute accesories too! for the collection.

life and death what does it mean? photography
in these photographs of nature i used plants to represent the cycle of life. in these photos i was trying to represent that as every life is valuable, so is every minute of time we have to live life. i was trying to capture a moment in time show the rain drops on the leafs. the most successful part is the natural lighting it shows the water droplets very well. the least successful part is that some of the photos are out of focus, to improve i could focus the camera or zoom out.
in these photographs of nature i used trees and bushes to represent the cycle of life and death.in these photos i was trying to represent a moment in life, i was trying to show life and reincarnation. the most successful part is the natural lighting it shows the branches and leafs very well. the least successful part is that some of the photos are out of focus, to improve i could focus the camera or zoom out.
in these photographs of nature i used dead snails, trees and bushes to represent the cycle of life and death. i used natural lighting and scenery of trees without there leaves on. i was trying to represent reincarnation because during winter the trees leafs die and fall of then they are reborn again in spring when they grow back.the most successful part is the natural lighting and the shadows of the trees.the least successful part is that some of the photos are out of focus, to improve i could focus the camera the take the photo from a different angle.
in these photographs of nature i used dead flowers to represent the cycle of life and death. i used natural lighting and dead flowers in a vase with water droplets on the petals. was trying to represent reincarnation because during winter the flowers die and dry up then they are reborn again in spring when they grow back.the most successful part is the natural lighting the least successful part is that some of the photos are out of focus, to improve i could focus the camera the take the photo from a different distance.

tom hunter
Tom hunter is an photographer artist. he takes thing out of context. in this photograph he has taken a 21st century black man in suite and put him in a 20th century style barber shop so the photo looks out of context.
the composition of the photo i look first at his face because it looks serious. then my eyes are drawn towards the dark shadow in the corner then i look at the mirror on the wall.
i think that the mood of this photo is relaxing. my reaction to this work is a calm, relaxing background. i think the artist wants the viewer to think of relaxing because the photo is taken in a relaxed environment however the mans body language in the photo looks serious. this work reminds me of the 20th century because this photos background is set in the 20th century.
techniques: in this photo he has used over head lighting and set up stage for the background. this photo is light and it is in colour this is a digital photo. there is alot of depth and space in this photo i think the background is very important to the photographer because it sets the theme.
the artist has represented his ideas by taking two different themes from two different time eras and the artist has made the photograph out of context.

photoshop experimentation
in this experiment i did this in three experiments, i took two photos and layered them on top of each other then i changed the opacity and blended the photos together. i used paint shop pro to blend the two photos. i was trying to create a gradual blended effect. the most successful part is that the photos go together like harmony. the least successful part was blending underexposed photos with over exposed photos so they look out of focus. to improve i could blend two photos with the same lighting for better results.
in my other photo i put two photos next to each other and gradually faded the photos together to make them blend into each other. what i did was i unlocked the background layer on photoshop and made it just a layer then i copied the photo that i wanted it to blend into and pasted it on top of the background that i had made into a layer. i add a layer mask then made it full opacity then i added a blend tool to make two photos gradually blend into each other.the most successful part is that the blend looks really smooth and there are no harsh lines. the least successful part is that one of the photos is overexposed and the other photo is underexposed.

fashion design
before i was totally stuck for ideas i felt unmotivated and i felt like giving up and not going though with my plans mostly because i had no money to buy materials and i had designers block i wasn't felling creative. its not easy i can tell you that much. then i thought to my self did i come this far to give up? all those sleepless night working on my website all for nothing? and i told my self this is i what i want and i need to do it because I'm always starting things then i get frustrated and i don't finish i have lots of unfinished projects that i just gave up on and this isn't going to be the dream i give up on because dreams are just for dreaming but reality it what YOU make it. so i motivated my self to find other inspirations to inspire me i too my photography folder out and started to get ideas from my photography i started to do lots of sketched that i then developed into fashion drawing. i then knew that these were the new designs i could use for my portfolio and my store. i know that doing this will help me go to design school so i try my best to push on and do my work so it will pay off in the future. also today i was so happy because my cousin brought me new sewing materials and my anty gave me some money to indulge on my self but I'm going to spend it on materials

spring fashion
im going to do a spring fashion video soon because its offically spring now. Every so often, one-piece styles of clothing have a revival. What started with bodysuits and leotards is now becoming a fully-fledged trend towards jumpsuits, playsuits, and rompers. As a unique style for Spring 2010,No longer must we stick to boring block colours on our lower half, for all varieties of printed pants have made their way onto the Spring runways. Whether floral, striped, abstract, bold or subdued... patterns on pants are giving us new bold wardrobe options for the warmer months Oversized and attention grabbing, bows in 2010 come in many styles and forms. Just when you thought they would never return... ripped jeans are back. Starting in 2008 with a horde of sexed-up We've seen jeans go from ripped to torn to downright shredded; so what can you possibly do next? Patch them of course! It's not for everyone, but its an option that's gaining traction. Patched jeans work well as skinnies, or try patched denim flares for a revival of 70s chic.

home hair treatments
i just love natural recipes for the hair no conditioner can compare to natures goodness.
hair conditioner protien
1 bannana
1 egg
Using a small food processor, process the bannana and egg until smooth. To use, apply to damp hair and comb through to the ends. Massage the scalp too if it's dry.
leave on for 20 minuets with a plasic cap.
To remove, use your hands to squeeze as much of the mixture out into a trash receptacle or plastic bag as you can and discard. This will minimize sink clogs. Once you have removed as much as possible, rinse and shampoo and style as usual.
i also love this lovely hair mask
2 spoons of mayonnies
2 spoons of melted coconut oil
1/2 a cup of coconut milk
1/2 avricardo
Just mix all ingredients together -easy!
Apply generously to dry hair. Wrap hair in cling wrap and relax for about 30 minutes.
Rinse out of hair and wash your hair as normal with your favorite shampoo and conditioner. Style as usual.
Your hair should feel really soft and shiny after this treatment. Enjoy, girls!!

website
it's currently 1:20 am in the morning and i have just finished making my website all of those sleepless nights payed off. but my poor skin is suffering breaking out. but im proud i have finished my website now all i have to do is get making i've finished all my designs i'm ready to sew! your probably thinking is it easy? hell no! i'm balancing school coursework, revision for A-level exams and sewing for at least 3 hours a day but then why do you do it? well i loveto sew! even when i'm tried and i feel like i'm gonna go crazy with sew i still push on. why? because nothing gets achieved by sleeping does it? now i know not sleeping is not good for my health but i need to achieve my dream. i am so determined no matter what it takes. but why make a shop now your still young? well all the money i make from this site can help me to go university. Also i'll need a strong portfolio to get into the London collage of fashion so the the design and photos i use for my store can be used in my portfolio and i can have lots of technical drawing and clothes patterns from how i made the garments. also i would love people to wear my designs its a dream come true! so i get a 3 in one money that will help with university fees. satisfaction that people are wearing my designs and a strong portfolio that will help me go to design school.

my clothing
I'm in the process of designing my own mini clothing line all made by me. I've decided to call my clothing label M.E and that stands for miss evolution.
Miss.Evolution aka M.E is about using the past to recreate new innovations this is why i call my label evolution because its about how fashion transforms from old ideas to new ideas but fashion is like a cycle that goes back to the beginning and this is why i combine past and future. i like to incorporate over the top frills and lace, in my designs because i like frilly, pretty, and girlie clothes I'm inspired by art and different cultures eg i am influenced by the east Asian culture and some day i want to go to china and make my clothing line. And i am inspired the past, present and future i use these as a base to make my creations. The money i earn will help me save up for fashion university fees i want to go to the London collage of fashion but its expensive. so this store will help me. :)

Cheryl Cole arrives in LA wearing mystery ring!
Could the new rock, spotted on Cheryl Cole in LA mean she's working things out with alleged cheat Ashley? Maybe not. After a quick scan of some old pics of the X Factor judge, we realised that the massive piece of bling that we thought was the £16,000 ring Ashley gave her, was in fact a different ring entirely I reckon it could be a decoy to stop the press from trying to confirm that the couple will split? Rumours are rife that a divorce could be on the cards.
What do you think? Is this the end for Cheryl and Ashley?

fashion predictions for 2010 spring/summer
the prediction colours for 2010 summer.
Powdery pastels in flesh and blusher shades: ivory, beige, pink, lavender, turquoise
Brights come in plain, tone-on-tone or multicolored versions: violet, fuchsia, yellow and orange through to red.
Flowers grab the power for a very feminine theme in which colors run riot. Inspired by the hippie era, the mystery of oriental gardens, tropical luxuriance and naive meadow flowers, they bloom over lace in a thousand and one motifs. Lace is their natural habitat, where they open up cheerfully, in turn shy and dainty, even fragile, or bright and powerful!
Shot pink and proud poppy are the emblems of this peaceful revolution in lace!
