Tea Tree Skin Treatment

This little set, AKA the Tea Tree treatment set from The Body Shop, is my newest skin regimen 

I'm officially in love

This little four-piece set takes care of my acne and redness wonderfully

After only a few days of using this baby I'm already seeing a decrease of my awful redness and patchy acne

Not to mention, it smells A-Maz-Ing

The set (which I purchased from Beauty.com) includes:

The Skin Clearing Facial Wash,

The Skin Clearing Toner,

The Skin Clearing Lotion,

and finally, the Tea Tree Oil

I would definitely suggest buying this bad-boy

I try and use it twice a day (though sometimes I'm lazy and only use it once)

After using, I immediately find my skin brighter and full of life

I highly recommend it

P.S. I would suggest buying this from a separate website such as Beauty.com or Ulta so it will be cheaper :)

Summer/ Party look

We did our makeup :)

Joan has a summer look

and I have a party look

Enjoy!

 Joan's summer look

 My party look

 All the products we used :)

Please email me at lexyisastar@gmail.com if you'd like a list of the products!

Working on some videos, get excited!

Cameron and The Girls

Cameron and the Girls by Edward Averett is about a boy who suffers from Schizophrenia disorder. As he is trying to cope with his life, the medication he takes affecting his ability to be motivated and have consistent emotions, when he decides to do a little experiment: he stops taking his medication. He wants to be able to feel things again, things the medication prevents. Some of the side effects from not taking his medicine are easy to deal with: a slight buzzing in his head, a few voices, no big deal. He has one primary voice that he hears that he has come to terms with but, after a few days off the meds, he begins to hear a new voice. A girl's voice. He falls in love with her while a girl at his school is falling in love with him. As he continues down the path of no medication and listening to the girl in his head, some obstacles block his way. It's a fantastic book to really get you thinking. I honestly could not put it down! I definitely recommend this for anyone who is a fan of psychological books.

Little Late

Hey there.

I know I'm late, I'm sorry guys.

BUT

I have some June favorites!

Even though June isn't over I still want to show you guys what I've been loving.

1) Yes to Tomatoes blemish clearing facial towelettes - Not only will it remove your makeup, but it helps acne! It's been great for me but the only problem is that it slightly dries out my skin.

2)Pacifica crushed pearl bronzing body butter - This baby will give your skin a nice glow while smelling awesome and moisturizing your skin! Too bad no SPF, though

3) Tarte BB Cream - Great coverage, light, matte finish, no smell. LOVE IT. Plus, it has SPF thirty, so, if you're like me, where you get burned near a window, this is awesome

4) Chella Ivory Lace Highlighter - This product can be used to highlight your brow bones, cheek bones, nose, upper lip and more. It's amazing for contouring as well. It glides on smooth and lasts all day. I love it to death.

5) Zoya nail polish in BLU - Gorgeous color and stays on for weeks! It's very good quality. Great for summer :) 

6) Psssst! instant dry shampoo - This beauty smells amazing! Gets the oil straight out of your hair, leaving it fresh and healthy (at least it looks fresh and healthy ;))

7) CHI 44 Iron Guard - This bby gives my hair this amazing shine while keeping it straight. Not to mention it's a heat protectant! *Thumbs up emoji*

AND THAT'S ALL

Please let me know if I should make videos for monthly favorites or stick to pictures!

Man, I wish this thing had Emoji's 

ANYWAY

So, I've been reading quite a bit lately and I thought I might share what I'm readin'

Okay. Books.

The Fault in Our Stars by john Green

Will always be my fav

But! There's more!

So.

The List by Siobhan Vivian

(The book I'm currently reading)

It's an amazing book, but sometimes it makes me sad...

It really gets you thinking about what adolescents in high school got through

Their stories are heartbreaking and inspiring

I'm forcing myself to finish this thing 

BUT THE FEELS

Okay? Okay. (TFIOS)

Anyway, the book is magical

I would suggest it to anyone

Go look it up online, read it, tell me what you think!

Two Chicks in the City

So

A little while ago I went into the city with my friend, Taylin.

Since the city, any city, is my home and I wish native land

I felt like a movie star

And a princess

And I felt..

At home. 

So, here's a picture.

Not very glamorous but very

very

happy.

Dear People

Lately I have been having alot of trouble uploading videos to my blog

I've made several: A"Get ready with me" video and a blog of me and my friend Joan shopping.

For whatever reason they won't upload to the blog. 

I'm hoping to find a solution but if I can't, I apologize.  

I hope to see you soon

I will probably have a video up later this week or maybe a picture.

Hope to talk to you soon

Alexa

A little Haul :)

Enjoy!

Little Update

Ok, hi. I know its been a little while since my last blog post, I'm just so busy with school and...well... just school. (Very demanding) ANYWAY I am going to be posting a vlog of me and my friend, Joan at Target shopping as soon as I finish editing it. I will also be posting a "Get ready with me" video, which will basically be just me showing you what I do in the morning hair and makeup wise. I would LOVE to show you an OOTD but my school has a dress code, so my outfits are pretty boring. :/ I am hoping to do more fashion stuff in the future, because that is my main interest right now. So, if you have any ideas, please feel free to share them with me...I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR and if you have any ideas for things you want me to post in the future please tell me in the comments. One more quick thing, you should go check out laurenbeautyy on youtube. Joan showed me one of her videos and I watched some more at home, and now I'm hooked. THANKS JOAN. Oks that's all I really wanted to say so GOODNIGHT sleep tight and wash your hair.... That's a must. K bai.

P.S. (my grammar's bad today. Don't judge me) :)

As you can tell from the video....I'm a bit crazy.....CRAZY AWESOME

No?

Just crazy?

K.

Night!

A Journey

      I start to walk, on the pebbled ground. Trees pass my sight and glare at me as though I am something evil. The cold air touches my face and howls in my ear. "When will my journey be over?" I ask myself. I continue to walk forwards, refusing to look the way I came. Straight on, I go. I kick stones into the muddied grass and look down at my shoes. They are weathered away, scratched and bruised. I can hardly tell their color. The shoes hang by a single thread. I look to my side. Houses on my left and right, old and seeming abandoned. The place looks like a ghost town. I take notice of my backpack clinging to my side, sitting on my shoulder. It feels like a ton at the moment. My hair whooshes around my face, spinning in the wind. Through the cloud of hair I see my destination. My knees feel weak and my legs could give at any second but they remain below my waist, still and steadily walking. I cross the road thinking, "What will people think of me? A girl, in this place, with tattered clothes and messy hair with a year old backpack on her side." Yet, I press on. I am getting closer, the destination approaching. Up I walk, the gravel pathway. Out I reach my hand until it clasps the metal handle, I clench down and push. The door swings open and I feel the warm air blow onto my face. The journey is done. Until tomorrow.

Jeez, the walk home from my bus stop can be really hard sometimes.

Hair Colorin'

Currently re-coloring my hair.

Of course its not natural, as if you're surprised

School.....ugh.

We all know school sucks. The only thing absolutely fun about it is getting ready in the morning. Clothes, makeup, the works. For a natural cute school look, this is what I like:

Ok, so now you need to know the names of these beautiful products. Starting from the top we have an oversized sweater found on the Teen Vogue website form Mark-Kate's personal taste, then some black leggings from forever 21, found on comic-catastrophe.blogspot.com from someone with an AMAZING blog. And for the oversized sweater you can pair it with the black leggings or the gray textured tights from Forever 21. OK, time for makeup. Revlon lip butter, Covergirl packed powder, Fit me concealer, and Maybelline Master Drama eyeliner. Thas it! Try it and let me know what you think!

P.S. I got these images from google images cause I'm lame like that. If you want the link, comment and I'll put it up for ya

Story time, people!

Okay so there's two things you need to know before reading this story: 1) I have dogs 2) I have to be up early tomorrow.

So, here we go. Okay, at one in the morning I was about to fall asleep (I'm up so late because it took me forever to figure this blog thing out) and I noticed my dog was shaking. I thought he might be cold so I put him under the cover with me. He still shook. So I tried to calm him down and get him to sleep. He still shook. I was really confused and tired, so I just sort of started to drift off. Then, he began panting. Now I was really worried. Then, all of a sudden, I though maybe he had to use the restroom. So, I opened my door and BOOM he was out of there. I caught up with him and found he was starting to poop on the carpet downstairs. I yelled, "No! No, Nemo!" (Nemo's his name) I then proceeded to shove the poor, still pooping dog out of the back door. Okay, so the dog was outside doing his business and I had a HUGE mess to clean up. Ugh, I won't get in to that, but let's just say it took forty minutes to clean. And now, after being outside for almost an hour, my dog is in my room, laying on my bed and he STINKS! I'm too tired to wipe his behind now, but I guess I'll have to tomorrow. Great. Well goodnight, I'm off to get about three hours of sleep.

Me, Myself, and I

             
      Hi, I'm Alexa. I've always loved to write, but I found that I could never stick to anything. I would start a story and never finish. I would start a screenplay and never finish. I would start a movie script and, guess what, never finish. I'm pretty much a mess, but then again, isn't everyone? People seem to pretend they aren't. Why fake it? We're all a bit messed up, but, hey, that's what makes us human. Wow, that was cliche. Oh well, it needed to be said. So now, on to why I'm here. I am determined to finish this blog, I want to write everyday. I want to use it as an expression of myself, and to get somewhere in my life. Maybe it could open me up to new opportunities, you never know. See, I want to be a journalist, or blogger, or editor, or interior designer, or maybe even a fashion designer. The only thing I really know, is that I want, wait no, need to live in New York. I live in Texas in a small, hardly ever heard of city that I want to get out of. I mean, my life is great. I have great friends, a great family, but I feel I need something more. Not yet of course, I'm not quite ready, but one day I will be. My plan is to go to junior college here, then university in maybe Chicago, then it's the Big Apple for me!
      So anyway, I bet you're wondering why on earth my blog's name is "SplitYourHeart". Well I was reading my favorite magazine, Teen Vogue, and saw this quote, "I think that's what love is anyway--it's being willing to split your heart in half and give it to someone else," It was said by Curtis Kulig. I just thought it was beautiful. So that's the story, not very interesting, right? Well anyway, so I kept reading and found a page about teen fashion bloggers and thought, "Hey, blogging is fun and it certainly worked out for them so, why not?" I was thinking it could be beneficial and I could express myself. So here I am. Another quote I want to say is this, "A clothing hanger is just a bent piece of wire'" said by the brother of Justina Sharp, fashion blogger. It made me think that people can take something so simple and change it into something special and important. Kind of like saying a simple, replicate able, and unimportant thing can be made into something people see as something intricate. Maybe that's what this blog will become.
