Lighten Your Hair With Lemon: 4 Easy Steps

We all want Beyoncé's fabulous, golden locks, but honey can you afford a $500-$1,000 highlight session? I know I sure as hell can't. Having virgin hair, I've never really trusted putting any products in my hair and I'm very hesitant to change my hair color, but sometimes a girl wants some sun-kissed highlights, you know that perfect color Khloe K. has? What if I told you that you could achieve a similar, more natural look with 4 easy steps? All you need is some lemon juice (freshly squeezed) and a spray bottle! Literally costs less than the Starbucks you're about to purchase and it's natural! Below I have listed the 4 easy steps to get you beautiful, glowing, sun-kissed locks! 

Simple! Make sure you purchase a ripe, juicy lemon, and cut it in half.

Squeeze the juice of the lemon into your spray bottle. I made my own spray bottle using a water bottle and a plastic spray top. 

Generously spray the lemon juice through your hair in streaks for highlights, and for that ombre look spray generously on your ends. See next picture.

Lay in the sun with your hair away from your skin for about an hour. The more exposure to sun you have, the lighter the hair will be. An hour later, Voila! Sun-kissed natural hair! 

Watermelon: Not The Kind Beyoncé Likes

It's summer, and not only are my boobs sweating, but I'm always craving something to cool me down. Unlike you skinny bitches out there I can't always have Ice Cream to cool me down, so I turn to the next best thing: Watermelon. Sweet, Light, and oh so refreshing! My favorite way to enjoy watermelon is cubed with some feta cheese and a sprinkling of chopped mint leaves, or with lime juice and Tajín when I'm craving some spice. If you like your watermelon in juice form like Beyonce prefers hers ;) I recommend trying  Pressed Juicery's watermelon juice that's cold pressed, fresh, and crisp! 

If you're anything like me and have trouble figuring out if you're picking the right watermelon, my dad (the grocery king) taught me to smack the watermelon and pick the one that makes the sharpest sound. If that still doesn't make sense and you're confused, just ask the nearest worker at the grocery store. Trouble cutting the watermelon? Tired of the watermelon juice all over your face? Below is a video that will show you how to cut a watermelon in the easiest, and fastest way, mess free! 

I don't need anymore reasons to love watermelon, but for all my non-believers out there here's an article that's sure to persuade you: 17 Reasons To Love Watermelon . Get yourself some fresh, crisp watermelon, and enjoy #NationalWatermelonDay, I know I sure will! 

White Hot

SUMMER+WHITE ANYTHING = GENIUS! Im all about the no white after Labor Day rule, so until then, lets wear the fuck out of white! I love to sport white nails, all year long actually, but especially during the summer, its just hot, WHITE HOT! Besides white nails, I love sporting a fresh pair of white kicks, white jeans, or my favorite of all time, a white tee "Yup, In My White Tee!'. White is the sickest color, after black of course, and it always looks good on any skin tone, even pale gals like me!

Here are a few of my fave girls on Instagram rockin' that "White Hot" look:
