If anyone knows me, they know that I am obsessed with planners, journals, stickers, pens and all things stationary to an extreme level. I keep track of my multiple businesses with a planner and journal for each one. I collect journals and obsess over different types of life planners. I have a planner for my blog and a life planner that I bring everywhere I go. I used an Eric Condren Life Planner for 2014 and now I am going to try out a Plum Paper life planner for the New Year; I’m getting super excited just writing about it. I will show you my new planner after it is decorated for January 2015!!

Karolina’s Kraft is so perfect for designing your planner because they have such a huge variety that you would get lost in all that they have.

I am obsessed with these little yoga girl sticker that I place on the days I signed-up for my yoga class instead of writing it all out; so I save space and they look so cute. I got these little sticker that I can place at the end of each week to keep track of my weight to see how it fluctuates and keep my fitness on track! This store is just so super cute and I’m even more obsessed with my life planner. If you want to order so cute accessories from Karolina’s Kraft and get 10% off your entire order then use code PEACHYQUEEN at checkout and stock-up for the New Year!!

I love Eric Condren Life Planners and other planners but they don’t have the needed accessories that you can get from Karolina’s Krafts. Making and planning your planner each month and before each week is so much more fun than using pen and highlighters. It is more like a craft with your own artistic creation where you can express yourself and smile every morning that you open it and see what is in store for you that day. Don’t make your planner boring and have it become a task that you despise doing because if you do then you may not plan each month and each week. Having fun stickers, washi tape, colorful tabs and motivational stickers will keep you going with your life planner and you will be more inclined to continue to use your planner. “A goal without a plan is just a wish” so having a life planner is crucial to the busy mom, student, business woman, or all those put together in one! Whether you have a life planner or you're planning a project, planning to move, planning starting a business or planning a wedding, MAKE IT FUN!!

If you love planning and stickers then shop for all your planner accessories and supplies at www.KarolinasKrafts.com and get 10% off using the code PEACHYQUEEN at checkout!!!

Michelle Phan Make Up Your Life Guide to Beauty Style and Success Online and Off BOOK REVIEW

Michelle Phan a successful business woman and self-taught make-up artist takes her talent to the next level in her first book Make-up: Your Life Guide to Beauty, Style and Success-Online and Off. I am a long time subscriber to Michelle Phan’s YouTube channel where she gives advice on make-up and beauty tutorials as well as other topics such as confidence building. She is very inspiring with her make-up skills as well as business by starting the company Ipsy and her own make-up company Em.

Michelle Phan’s book does not disappoint and you can feel her personality throughout the pages. She starts out with her personal life story (So far) and describes her childhood, family and how she came to become the Michelle Phan we all know and love today. The book is filled with adorable sketches and drawings from her as well as her upbeat positive attitude. 

This sturdy 230 page book not only gives advice on make-up and beauty but she discusses other issues such as "Find (and Keep) A Job You Love" and "Digital Do’s and Don’ts". This book is very helpful to for girls in their teens to young women or even women that are older looking to learn some tricks about make-up, beauty and fashion. Michelle gives a lot of detailed information with beautiful glossy photos on almost every page. If you’re a fan of Lauren Conrad’s two books Style and Beauty then you’ll love Michelle Phan’s new book.

This book is definitely a good read and something that can become a reference guide for tips and tricks. If you’re looking for a combination of tutorials, advice, tips and a look into the very popular beauty guru’s life then you will be happy to take this book home. 

I have received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review; this did not influence my review of this book and all my opinions and thoughts are my own.

How To Grow Out Your Eyebrows || Redefine & Align

Need to grow your eyebrows out because they're thin and uneven or because you over plucked one crazy night or because you're looking for a Cara Delevingne style eyebrow? Whatever the reason may be, here are some tips to deal with the annoying phase of growing out some bushy untamed eyebrows for a couple months or so.

Eyebrows are like the staple of the face, have you seen those pictures with celebrities without eyebrows? Scary right! Even Angelina Jolie looks weird and that's difficult for her to accomplish. Your eyebrows shape your face and define it. You can look surprised when not even trying or looking like you have RBF without meaning to, because the eyebrows tell us what you want to say without talking. 

If you have been over plucking or waxing for years and your eyebrows are just not sitting well with you anymore, the best thing to do is just let your natural eyebrow fully grow out and then get it professionally shaped and maintained to achieve the look that best fits your face. There really is nothing you can do but bite your lip and grow them out and only after that should you get them shaped by a professional at a brow bar.

 Step 1:
The first step is to LEAVE THEM ALONE!! Do not touch them at all. Hide your tweezers, step away from the nail salon waxing room and try not to look at them up close. You can help yourself to not have a uni-brow by taking your pinky finger and placing it in the middle of your eyebrows above your nose. You can only pluck there and nowhere else. Then you're allowed to trim but only those strays that stick straight ahead like they're pointing at something. This step is the hardest and the first step is admitting you have a problem (with your eyebrows). 

Step 2:
You might have to wait anywhere from 6 weeks to 6 months, depending on what is going on with your brows. While you wait, there are a number of things you can do to not look beastly. Help them grow faster by exfoliating your eyebrows with a soft brush or an exfoliating sponge. This will help remove dead skin cells and stimulate the hair follicles to grow faster. Just use soft circular motions and do this daily. Also, use an eyelash or eyebrow growth serum to kick start the process. It doesn't matter if it is for eyelashes, it will work. 

 Step 3:  
Now, you're going to have to leave the house and if you were like me, I felt like everyone was staring at my HUGE BUSHY EYEBROWS, but they weren't. Only you can tell that you haven't plucked, waxed or prodded at them. It's not so noticeable to the rest of the world and if it is...who cares what anyone thinks, you're doing this for yourself and to have beautiful eyebrows, eyebrows that make you happy, eyebrows that fit your face, eyebrows that make you sing, eyebrows on fleek! So, to help with the weird growth coming in that is almost an eyebrow if you squint, use MAKE-UP. First, brush your eyebrows down and if they stick up too much use a brow wax or even hairspray to lay them down. Draw in with either an angled brush or a brow pencil the spaces that are missing to form a complete eyebrow. Just use light short strokes staring at where you want your brow to start. You can also use concealer or a powder to cover up the strays, stubble and the random pieces of hair you haven't seen since junior high. Remember, no one can see that you're growing them out, only you notice because you're the only one up in your face in the mirror, so relax and keep going. 

Step 4:
You should already be doing this but if not do it for the brows. Eat healthy nutritious food. Eating healthy will help your skin look better, make you feel good, grow your hair and also help the growth of your beautiful brows. Your body reflects what you put into it. Put in garbage, get garbage. You need to eat good colorful fruits and vegetables as well as a variety of vitamins everyday on the daily.

Step 5
Wait, wait, wait and wait some more. This is the hardest like I said but its really the most important step. Eventually you will get there and just think of how much money and time you will save ignoring that part of your face. You will get there and when you do it will so be worth the wait. Remember it takes 6 months to make a Rolls-Royce and 13 hours to make a Toyota. 

Step 6
Research and walk proudly into a brow bar and get those babies professionally fixed for your face. What is great about a master browista doing your brows is that one they know what they're doing and two they will teach you how to apply make-up to shape your brows. They take time with you and its almost like a brow lesson. Ask questions and make sure you let them know what your ultimate brow goal is so you can achieve it. You don't have to go to a pricy brow bar every 4 weeks, just once to get the shape, knowledge and tools to do it yourself. But for someone like me that needs the extra help, go every 4 weeks until you got it down and your eyebrows are finally one of your best features. Then you get the complements on your brows which is nice. 

So, I know it might be rough and a long process but it is worth it for the brows you've dreamed of and deserve. It is now Winter so this may be a perfect time to get beastly with your brows. Good luck and keep going, never give up; your face will thank you. Leave questions or your thoughts or tips in the comments and get BROW STRONG!
