FINALS!!

Hey everyone!!!
So in my school finals' season already started (last friday, to be exact) and before season started I was looking for some tips and remembered everything that my teachers suggested us to do..

1) Eat an apple every morning!
I personally prefer green over red, but it's up to you!
I'm not saying they have more caffeine than coffee, but they have healthy sugar that helps you to be awake, also it is way healthier and tastier than coffee... Besides, drinking too much coffee might stain your teeth, so thing it again  (:

2) Sleep AT LEAST 6 hours before the exam

Many friends of mine prefer to stay awake all night and keep studying, but actually you will think better if you are well-rested 

3) Don't study one day before the exam!

Many people believes that if they study one day before the exam the information will be fresh, but it's better to start studying several days before and dedicate a proper amount of time to each topic or subject... If you start studying one day before, it will be more common that you won't have enough time or that you will be really tired at the end of your study session.

4) If you are doing a study group, invite just a few people

When 5+ people are "studying" it is more likely that you will be doing something else rather than studying.

and last but not least.....

5) Take a warm shower every morning

I know that it isn't healthy for your hair to wash it every day, but I feel like every time I take a shower it helps me to get relaxed and clear my mind


So, I hope this tips are helpful for you (:

TALIKA Eyelash Conditioning Cream

Hi everyone!!! So this friday I went to my mall because I needed an appointment in my MAC counter, so after I did everything I went to a store called Sanborns and I was looking for a cream that my aunt told me about and how great it worked with her lashes... 
The cream is called Talika Eyelash Conditioning Cream and it looks like this:
So, I've decided to give it a try. It was $283 pesos (which is about 20-23 dollars). 
It comes in a little box with a tiny stick and you are supposed to apply it on your lash line every night. 
Tonight is the second night I'm using it, and this is how my eyelashes look right now:


(PLEASE excuse the huge red volcano that is between my eyes, please also excuse the poor quality of the photo)

What I'm doing, instead of using the stick, is using my Sonia Kashuk Angled Eyeliner Brush.
When using it, you must avoid touching or rubing your eyelids, also try not to cry when you have it on (last night I was watching Mary Poppins and it felt kinda weird in my eyes)...

So, I'll do an update in about 4 weeks and tell you how it is working!!

XOXO
