Tips for passing the NC Cosmetology State Board Practical exam
Tips for passing the NC Cosmetology State Board Practical exam (Also there is PDF that you can print and use as a checklist to make sure you pack everything you need!) Packing your bag: I would suggest having your bag packed with everything you need at least a week before your test. The most effective way to do that is to have a double of everything. That includes shears, combs, curling irons etc. Eat before your practical test. I mean eat a healthy meal. I didn’t eat a good meal and I was starving after the test. Stay the night where your test is taking place: If you can afford to stay in…

Myrtle Beach, SC
Myrtle Beach, SC This about my evening/afternoon in Myrtle Beach, SC. My mom, younger brother, Hunter, Anthony and myself went on Friday afternoon. We went to visit my Auntie Anne, and my cousins, Rick and Julie. When we got there my aunt was waiting in the lobby of the time share for us. They stay for a week in Myrtle Beach every year.

A weekend in Charlotte
A weekend in Charlotte Friday, June 1st, 2018 We woke up at 3:30am to go to Charlotte. We left my house at 4:20am. We got to Charlotte around 8:30am. While my mom and aunt went to visit my uncle, Anthony and I went to dunkin donuts, but Anthony wanted a medicine ball. So we went to unusually dirty Starbucks (Side Note: Starbucks doesn’t sell the tea that they used to make a traditional medicine ball) Whatever we got was disgusting. The cashier told us it was similar to a medicine ball. The tea was so bad that we couldn’t drink it. We ended dumping it out and buying coffee from…

How I edit my Photos
How I edit my photos I start off picking out a photo of my liking. This one happens to be from mine and Anthony’s friend’s wedding. I go on Facetune to edit the photos. I start off with the whitening feature of Facetune. I usually whiten teeth, white backgrounds, and white clothing. Depending on the lightening things can look yellow quickly. Then I go to the smoothing feature to make sure I don’t have a bumpy or wrinkly looking face. Finally, I go to the detail feature and enhance the eyes and other areas that I want to look more lively. This is how I edit my photos. Thank you…

9 Tips for choosing a wedding venue
9 Tips for choosing a wedding venue This is a similar guide to how I and Anthony choose our wedding venue. We went with a pretty basic list of things to think of. 1.) Choose a venue that will align with what you imangine in your mind. That being said also be open to changing your vision a little bit. 2.) Know your guest list. Know about how many people you want their. Our venue can hold 120 people max. We decided for comfort to keep it between 100-110. 3.) Know your budget. You don’t go into debt to have a really expensive place. Anthony and I paid under $1000…
