NuMe Curling Wand Tutorial

So I'm sure that many of you have heard of the beauty brand called NuMe... and if you haven't well here it is! :) So I saw all over Instagram and Facebook photos of girls using the NuMe curling wands and curling my hair has always been something that I am bad at... well not anymore! I decided to invest in one of their curling irons of my own and boy am I glad that I did! It is FABULOUS! I feel like a movie star with this hair! I went out after styling my hair and got so many compliments and it made me feel great! 

The results of my very first time trying out my NuMe Curling wand:

I feel like a gingerly modernized Barbie Doll!

(Since you know.. I'm a redhead and all)

The curls stayed all day and I got the job done in about 35-40 minutes which is super fast for me because I have a lot of hair and it is very very thick. It did not burn my hair or make it smell burnt. I didn't even have to put any hairspray in it after (which was extremely surprising because normally I need a half of a can of hairspray to keep it curled)... and since I didn't use any hairspray... my hair is soft :) I AM OBSESSED. Being that I am extremely picky when it comes to my hair products and tools... I am very surprised that I love this curling wand so much. The best part is that I purchased the NuMe 25MM Classic Wand which is regularly priced at $139 and because NuMe is so generous with their coupons, I got the iron for $27! It was a steal! I highly recommend everyone and anyone to purchase this curling iron because it is truly that amazing. I have bought $200-$300 curling wands that aren't even close to as good as this wand. It is absolutely phenomenal! Below I have attached a link that directs you to a coupon for the NuMe products incase you or someone that you know is interested in purchasing one of their products. For $37 you can get any curling wand that you choose, a massaging brush, and a bottle of Argan Oil. Just click on this link and pick any curling iron that you desire and add it to the cart. The link automatically adds the coupon onto your cart so you don't have to!

Why You Should Travel

Traveling can be extremely therapeutic. I have always travelled from such a young age. I've been to the Bahamas, Florida, Puerto Rico, Texas, Virginia, NYC, etc. Every single place that I have ever visited has always had a unique and special thing about them that the other places that I have visited never had. I was just recently on a vacation for about 10 days... I went to upstate New York to the point where I was boarderline Canada and the day after I came back from upstate New York, I flew to Florida and visited Orlando and Miami... Which was SO much fun! I ended up visiting the University of Miami which was an incredibly beautiful school with an amazing program for Journalism (which makes it even more awesome) and I ended up visiting Miami Beach as well as Universal Studios in Orlando. It was quite exhausting but quite the adventure! I went on all of these trips with my boyfriend of 7 years named Matt. We love to travel together and see what the world has to offer.

Traveling helps me escape reality but also opens my eyes to the better things in life. Although I love to shop, I'd much rather spend my money on a fabulous vacation. It is certainly money well spent and I plan on saving up more money so that we can go on many more adventures together.

My first tour with the University of Miami!

Be Your Own Kind Of Beautiful ♡

You were born an original. To be your own person, not a copy of someone else. Many people catch themselves idolizing people whether it would be a celebrity, a friend, family member, etc. and it's okay to want to be as successful as another person or to have the same goals as another person but you shouldn't want to be the other person. You were born with your own destiny and it's your job to fulfill that to the best of your own abilities. Don't be discouraged by other people and how successful they turned out to be because you are capable of that too. Nothing is ever given to you so you have to work hard towards your goals but once you achieve them, it can be extremely rewarding. Many people try to tell me what my goals should be and shouldn't be and when people try to change you and your goals and dreams, they aren't true friends because if my friend tells me that they want to be the President of the United States I'm not going to tell them that it will never happen. Instead, I encourage them to reach their goals. Is it an extremely high goal? Yes... but it is possible and the people with the highest goals and work towards them end up 100 times more likely to achieve them than a person who does not believe in themselves.

I learned a lot about comparing through Pageantry. Many people are always asking me... "isn't it so intimidating being on that stage in a bikini?" And "don't you feel insecure about yourself standing next to over a hundred gorgeous women?" And the answer is no. Is it tempting to want to compare yourself to other people? Of course! But you have to train yourself to not compare yourself because it will only kill your self-esteem and make you feel discouraged and upset. Instead, try thinking of all of the amazing qualities that you have. What makes YOU better than them. As selfish as that might sound, it helps. And it's okay to be a little selfish because you need to care about yourself first. Personally, I get extremely pumped for swimsuit competition. I don't get insecure on stage because there are many people out there who could never step foot on a stage and just being able to be on that stage is a huge accomplishment. When you look on the brighter side of things, your entire outlook on life will change too... And for the better! Who cares if someone else is smart or good looking or amazing? So are you! So embrace it :) It is beautiful to be different and true happiness and confidence shines from within and it shows to others :)

Xoxo, Amanda ♡
