#1 Get the Proper Equipment First things first you’ll need a camera. A lot of people start off by taking pictures on their phone BUT it definitely doesn’t compare to a professional camera. The pictures are so clear and nice when you take pictures with a professional camera. I personally like Canon but when I take pictures myself I use my Sony alpha 5000. Second: You need a tripod. I got one from amazon (~$20) and it comes with an attachment for your phone if you’d like. It comes with the screw to screw the bottom of the camera with. The one I have isn’t super sturdy like the really expensive ones but its good for what I need. If you have a heavier camera like a Canon then you might want to invest in a different tripod. The only downside to the one that I have is that its a little short so it catches the shadows on my face really weird. I’d recommend getting a tripod that is AT LEAST 6 feet tall or more. Remotes? I use the sony alpha 5000 and it has a three second timer so I just use that. I can also press a button on my phone to take pics on my sony (cool right?). Lastly, there are remotes that you can use to just press a button and then take the picture from the camera. Use a camera that has the flippable LCD so you can see what you are actually doing. #2 Location If you’re choosing to shoot indoor (like in your house) choose an area with a nice background because pictures tell a story. Personally I like to use a plain wall so there’s not too much going on besides my main focal point (usually me). Outdoors: I like to choose somewhere that’s not too busy so not that many people are staring. I found winter park (park ave) to be a good location because so many people take pictures there that they are already used to it so people aren’t staring as much. Also, Mount Dora is a really nice area to take pictures. I took the pictures from my last post in Mount Dora. #3 Using the Timer… Timer: with the three seconds you have like two seconds to pose so think of what post you want to do really fast so you can get in frame…
I remember this print being around when I was in highschool (like 6+ years ago). Isn’t crazy how styles constantly come back around? For example, high waisted pants/jeans, which I’m totally glad for! The name of this print is called gingham print and I’ve been LOVING it! It’s so pretty and chic! I think it’s a print that you can dress up or down.

If you’re looking for a really good basic palette, I think you’ll really like the Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Palette.
I’ve seen beauty bloggers use the Tony Moly Snail Mask and I really wanted to try it but I couldn’t find it in store. I bought the Lemon BrighteningMask from Riley Rose. If you live in Florida, you can find Riley Rose at the Altamonte Mall. They sell brands likeLime Crime and Beauty Bakerie that you don’t see at Sephora. It is literally the cutest makeup store and you need to check it out if you haven’t already! How to use it: 1) Remove from package and apply to your face 2) Leave it on for 20-30 minutes and then take it off of your face. 3) I always rub the excess in. *If I use a sheet mask before I sleep I normally will rub in the excess, sleep with it on, and then wash it off. I take care not to sleep on my face when I have the excess on my face. Does it work? Honestly, I didn’t see a huge difference in my skin before and after. I think the Sephora sheet masks actually work a lot better because I can see a noticeable difference in my skin when I use these. It feels super cold on the face and leaves a film afterwards (which is expected with sheet masks). It also smells super lemony which I don’t really like because it reminds me of the lemon scented clorox I clean the house with. What are your thoughts? Have you tried this brand before?

I keep up with the Queen @hudabeauty’s blogs and she mentioned something super interesting: face masking in the shower. Sounds productive right? Well I definitely, thought so.
