Young people especially suffer with acne.  It's really important to take good care of your skin in order to have clear and healthy looking skin. I included links for each of the products which are all really affordable!

Morning:

When you wake up to get ready in the morning one of the most important things to do is wash your face.  For mornings I prefer a softer face wash like Cetaphil.   It gets rid of all the grossness you wake up with if you know what I mean, haha.  It gets you started off right with clean skin.  On top of that it wakes you up!  If you wear makeup don't apply excess.

Throughout the Day: It depends on how your day has been but if you’ve been pretty active wipe of with a wet towel or wipe when needed, or instead to save time you can also use some oil absorbing sheets or blotting papers.  These sheets absorb all the extra oil on your skin and leave it feeling that way.  THEY ARE AMAZING.  I know they sell some in Sephora in really cute packs but the one and only brand I’ve always used has been Clean and Clear .  Clean and Clear (in my opinion) is one of the best skin care brands and always works like a miracle.

Night: REMOVE ALL MAKEUP.  Makeup clogs pores causing acne so it is really important to avoid at as much as possible.  As soon as you can wipe it all off.  If you take night showers this is especially important.  The steam from the shower opens up your pores, that means makeup and all the gunk would get in therefore clogging your skin.  Remove with makeup removing wipes, Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes are known to be one of the best products for that out there.  At night I think it's a good idea to use a stronger face wash at night to remove everything that accumulated throughout your busy day.  I like face scrubs because they leave your face feeling super soft.  I love Neutrogena or Clean and Clear products for that.  After washing my face I apply CLEAN AND CLEAR ADVANTAGE ACNE SPOT TREATMENT which I posted about a while ago when trying it out, since then it has become part of my daily skincare routine.  It's a miracle.

Every Once in a While:

Applying these everyday might dry up your skin but sometimes it's fun to treat yourself to a relaxing face mask or pore strips.

Recommendation:

I got this gel brush thing to wash my face at Sephora a while ago and it's amazing.  I feel like it cleans your face a lot more than when you just use your hands because it deep cleans.  Its called the SEPHORA COLLECTION Precision Pore Cleansing Pad.

It's October and to be more precise one week before Halloween!  Some of us haven't even decided what we're going to be even though most of us have an event or party to go to.  So here I have a few really cute and easy last minute costume ideas for you guys. Hope they help!

 

Sugar Skull:

This costume looks really cool and since it focuses mainly on the face you don't have to worry a lot about the outfit.  Just buy some face paint or a sugar skull makeup kit and find a tutorial.  They're really easy to do.   The picture from above is taken from a really good tutorial I found on YouTube, here's the link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQ2PE0Ei-eY

Modernized Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz:

Get a light blue gingham overall type dress or D.I.Y it (Bethany Mota has a cute and EXTREMELY EASY D.I.Y for that) and wear a white top underneath (crop tops are a cute idea).  Pare that cute outfit with some red converse and a braided hairdo.  

Cat:

This is really unoriginal to be honest but it's the easiest.  Wear a cute black outfit, cat ear headband, and draw some whiskers.  Also for your makeup do a cat eye!

Chic Mime:

This is one of my favorites.  I think it's so chic.  A fashionable take on the classic mime!  Wear a pretty horizontal black stripe shirt with black skinny jeans or tights.  Add a red little silky scarf to match your red lip.  The girl from the picture on the left is  instagram user @xulia_arneiro and did an amazing job with this makeup look.  

I hope you guys like these costumes and if you guys do recreate one please, please, please tag me on Instagram as @daniur1 or on google+ +Daniela Uribe  so I can see them♥

I would like to add none of these pictures are mine and I give credit to google images!

 There is a new trend!  And I have noticed it especially in big cities.  Guys, this isn't just a normal trend this is a throw back trend!  The Stan Smith Shoe is making a huge comeback.  This shoe appeared in the 1960s and became extremely popular in the 1980s selling around 22 million pairs.  In 2012 the shoe stopped being sold despite how popular it was.  In 2014 it came back and now I've seen so many people (both guys and girls!) rocking their street style with the Adidas Stan Smith shoes.  Recently I got a pair and it is one of the most comfortable pair of shoes I have ever owned!  I am obsessed!   

Fashion Tip: Pair them with rolled up jeans or with a graphic midi skirt. Both looks look amazing!

To be honest Iv'e never been more exited for workout clothes since now. It has become so fashionable and trendy. So down below I just compiled a little group of pictures I found on the internet that show the latest sport trends. These outfits are sooo cute! If it wasn't obvious already it's really in style to mix a neon pop of colour to a monochromatic outfit that uses black, white, or gray.

And in case you need motivation I've got you covered ;)

A lot of people ask me what I use on my hair to make it soft, smooth, smell good or long.  Sorry to break it to you but to make it long you need patience and time haha.  My hair is naturally smooth/ soft because it's straight but I have noticed that some products help it become even softer or smoother.  So I'm going to make this post to answer all those questions. I wash my hair about every two to three days because I don't want to over dry it but it depends on your hair type.  I use herbal essences shampoo and apply conditioner every time.  When I started using this shampoo and conditioner I noticed a lot of differences.  First off I noticed my hair looked overall better, shiny, smooth, etc. It was also one of those shampoos that leave your hair smelling REALLY good (unlike some that just smell when out of the bottle and after you rinse your hair it doesn't smell like anything.)  My secret to make my hair feel really soft is too apply conditioner and not just leave it there, I massage it in and play with it for two minutes before rinsing.  I am in love with herbal essences and STRONGLY recommend it.  I use herbal essences for long hair, volume, and the one for smoothness. I like to let my hair air dry when I can and try to avoid heat because it's not the best thing for your hair. but if you do use heat always wear heat protection!  I also don't dye it because I don't need too and i don't want to damage it. Try brushing your hair when it's dry because it will break easily if you comb it when wet.  I brush my hair very THOROUGHLY and that helps it look shinier, smoother, and straighter.  But don't overdo it because it can damage hair and make it end up looking dull.  I often wear my hair up so the elastics give me a lot of flyaways by breaking my hair so to calm those down I use tigi bed head after party. When I wear my hair up in a sleek hairstyle all my annoying baby hairs show so I use hair spray but too much hairspray can easily become a sticky mess or make your hair look like a wet rock, lol.  So my trick is get a new toothbrush spray it with hairspray and comb the baby hairs, it works amazing and looks natural.
