Dry, Winter Skin

So you know how when you have a biscuit or something that you want to eat but it's hard, you stick it in the microwave with a glass of water so the the moisture gets transferred to the biscuit and it's all fluffy again? Well in winter don't you kind of wish you could do that with yourself so you weren't all dry and flaky from the cold? Well yeah, we do. So here are some tips for staying moisturized...

Keep a hand lotion with you at all times
Same thing with lip balm (Chapstick is our favorite and its only like $2)
After showers put lotion on (remember warm showers dry you out more but cold showers in winter aren't that appealing)
Have a good face moisturizer that you put on in the mornig (ones with SPF are a good choice)
Wear gloves to protect your hands from getting chapped and crap from the elements
Drink lots of water!

And believe me, you can pretty much type in almost anything and it'll find it for you. So enjoy!

Tips From a Stylist

Stylist Ilaria Urbinati recently created a look for less for InStyle magazine . She also added 3 tips for smart shopping. Here they are....

"The less structured an item, the cheaper it'll go. Things that are well tailored are harder to find at a lower price, but blouses, sweaters, shorts- those are no-brainers."
"Chains usually specialize in at least one type of clothing. Learn which store is good for shirts or better for pants and so on."
If you know your proportions, you can shop at any price because you're aware of what suits you. For example, I'm skinny on top, wider on the bottom, so I wear A-line shapes."

Spring Break

Ahhh.... Spring Break

S0 who is not excited for spring break? NO ONE COOL, obviously. Ha so anyway, whether you are going somewhere or not, to me spring break marks the end of crapy, cold, snowy winter. So we, and probably most of you, plan ahead on what to wear, buy, and do. My family will be traveling to someplace beachy and I already know what O'Neill swimsuit I HAVE to get for it. So some advice for the people we are blogging for (the ones with "small wallets" like us), SAVE. Get the perfect pair of gladiators on sale, and remember, money isn't always quality. Find the best and most affordable pair, along with cover ups and stuff like that. And don't forget sunscreen! Seriously, you can't get much better than the sunscreen you find at Walmart. So babes, planning is good! And looking awesome for less because of it is even better.
