This Saturday, May 2nd is my high school prom! This is the second most important day in a girls life (right next to there wedding). Everything needs to be perfect, from the dress, shoes, hair, makeup, etc. Today I'm going to take you step by step on how to plan for your prom.

 First things first, try to search for your dress and shoes a month or at least three weeks before the prom so you have enough time to get alterations to the dress without being last minute! If you want everything to go right we need to make sure to book appointments (book appointments two weeks in advance). The good thing is you can make all your appointments in one day! The first one you should call to make an appointment for is your nail salon, book your favorite nail artist and make sure to make the appt. a day before your prom because doing your nails the day of prom can be very time consuming, especially with all the other appointments you are going to be doing that day. Next is your hair appt. make sure to book your favorite hair stylist and be sure to give her a picture of what you want your hair to look like. last but certainly not least appointment of the day is going to be your makeup, its pulls the whole outfit together. In my opinion just go to your local department store and go to your favorite makeup counter (Estee Lauder, M.A.C., Dior, etc.) to book your appointment with any choice of makeup brand you feel like! Also be sure to give the makeup artist a picture of your dress, so he/she knows what kind of makeup look to do, unless you already have one in mind, try to give him/her a visual (picture) on what you want exactly, so they can mimic the look. 

 Next comes the booking of hotels and limousines. The very first and most important thing you want to do is find a group of your friends who are willing to pay a certain amount to be in the limo and hotel room. Once you got that covered start looking on websites (or google) to find the most affordable price for you and your friends. once you do that, make sure to book a reservation! 

I hope these tips will help you all for prom! 

Helpful tips for prom: 

- Plan accordingly, don't wait till the last minute.

- If you need some inspiration for hair, makeup, nail ideas, etc. I suggest getting a Pinterest!

- Make sure you not only feel pretty in your dress but also comfortable because after wearing it for a certain number of hours it will just get annoying and irritating. (same goes for shoes! you don't want blisters on prom night!)

- If you are getting a hotel room, make sure to bring a change of clothes for later that night, and the next day.

Recently I discovered an all natural home made face scrub. I have tried countless recipes and my favorite one is the honey oatmeal face scrub, it contains three simple ingredients. Oatmeal, honey, and almond oil (coconut oil, or olive oil is another great alternative). Oatmeal contains anti-inflammatory and antioxidant components known to cleanse the skin, keeping it refreshed! Oatmeal also helps with dry, itchy irritated skin. Honey contains antibacterial and healing properties to soothe and cleanse the skin. My favorite ingredient of the three has to be the almond oil because it is very light and not greasy at all, it helps clean the skin pores, moisturizing and nourishing the skin. Almond oil is also great for acne prone skin!

Before you apply the face scrub you want to make sure your face is clean and you have no makeup on (I suggest using a toner before applying the scrub). Once your face is clean and fresh go ahead and  splash warm water on your face and apply the scrub. Leave the face scrub on for about four to five minutes, then wash the face scrub off. Once you take the scrub off and have dried your face using a towel, you will notice your face is clean, smooth, and rejuvenated!

Honey oatmeal face scrub recipe:

1/4 honey
1/4 oatmeal (group up finely in a blender for more effective results)
1-2 tbsp almond oil
