ChicSpeak: Tips for C L E A R skin!

Hello, Lovlies!

I have a few quick tips, for nice, clean & clear skin. I've tested these out.. & they've helped me out!

  1. Drink Lots of Water! Our lovely H2O helps not only dehydration.. but also skin! At least drinking 1 bottle worth of water a day, and you'll start seeing your skin clear up! It also helps to minimize the intake of junk food, and I know that might be hard! If you stay consistent, the results will be fab!
  2. A Routine. Making a daily face-washing routine, and keeping up with it will help out your skin.. loads! Sticking to the routine will get your skin used to it.. and eventually it'll adjust. Just make sure the products you use are catered to your specific needs, such as dry skin.. oily skin.. etc.
  3. Sleep & Less Stress. You heard me! Getting an adequate amount of sleep will do wonders to your skin. You'll wake up revitalized and so will your skin! Stress is terrible to your skin. It drains you out, plus it adds unnecessary oils to your skin. 
Follow these easy tips.. AND staying consistent will help make your skin Gorgeous!!

Trend Watch: Fall Nail Polish Colors!

Hello Loves ♥,
Today, I wanted to write a post on something that just "tickles my fancy"... a lot! Loll, that sounded so funny (: Any-who.. I wanted to write a post on fall nail colors! This  fall, I have been falling madly in love with all of the trendy nail colors that I've seen popping up on celebs, fashion magazines and in the real world! Here are just a few of the colors that are totally in this fall.

  1. Deep Forest/ Emerald Green. This is h u g e in the nail color world. The dark green is dramatic, but very chic. It's a nice alternative to the over done bright greens of the spring & summer.
  2. Sparkle! Glitter-licious colors are popping up everywhere! It makes any manicure fresh and different, by adding a little sparkle and shine. 
  3. Reds. Red is such a statement. A true ruby red pops, and is so classic. A deep, dark red is very sexy and cool, making your entire look sophisticated, with out being too much.
  4. Plums. This is the coolest color to paint on your nails. It's also the chicest way to look dramatic and different, without being to overbearing.. like a black nail polish would. Plum is the perfect color to pull off, so you can look effortless and stylish... without being to dark and "gothic". 
  5. Nudes. Any nude color is automatically chic. It's simple and classy, without being too out there. It also goes well with any season!

I hope these awesome fall colors helped! Now go out and buy up these amazing shades.. I know I will! 

this is the perfect example of a nice, deep green color.

this sparkle-y color is perfect for the fall.. it's
dark, but still has the glam-med up effect of glitter!

This red is the perfect medium between a dark
"vampiress" red, and a bold ruby color. Tres Chic!

This is one of my favorite colors for the fall. 
It's very dramatic and stunning, on any skin tone!

This is the quintessential nude color.
Very "plain" in color, yet super chic.
Nudes are always stylish and in!

Haul: J. Crew!

Hello Loves ♥,
I have a haul for you all! On the infamous Black Friday, my mom, brother, cousin & I went to the outlets down the street from our vacation house and began our endeavors into the super sale shopping at approx. 12:00 am. We ended our little shopping trip at exactly 3:15 am. Yes.. I know! I knew exactly where I wanted to go, and that happened to be J. Crew! I needed some new clothes for this "seminar" that I'm going to with my girls'. So, here are the few items' I got. ( i only got 2 things... but that's a-okayy.)

so, this is just the bag... kinda crumpled, loll (:


-this is my first purchase:
 a dark gray cotton, elastic-banded skirt. 
$39.60 (40%off)

-my second & last purchase:
a creme/heather gray, ruffled, 3/4 sleeved cardigan.
$32.20 (30% off)


so, all together, the purchases cost about $78.80, which.. considering that it's from J. Crew, i think I did well.

Stay Classy & Fabulous ♥,
Maya
