Happy New Year

Happy New Year to my Trendy Keys Readers.

As the new year just passed I am sure that many of you have made new year resolutions, which is great! The only problem is that most people within the first month don't follow through with their resolutions. So in attempt to encourage and help those who who may need the encouragement to stay on the right track of achieving their goals, Ii am going to give some helpful tips to help you follow your resolutions.

1. Make realistic resolutions. So since most of you have probably already made your resolutions, Revise your list and determine which are realistic and for the ones that are not realistic, replace them with something that is more realistic.
2. Make short, medium and long term resolutions. Note: If you only make short term resolutions that can be difficult to achieve in such short amount of a time, you may feel overwhelmed and if you only make long term resolutions you may end up procrastinating and will eventually forget your resolutions. So the best thing to do is make small steps. This brings me to my next tip.
3. Make a plan on how you intend on achieving your resolutions by dividing them into smaller steps or little tips.
4. Make short reminders of the steps/tips required on achieving you goals. You can make them on colourful sticky notes and place them in your room, on your mirror in the washroom, your locker, on your notebooks, wherever it may be necessary to have a reminder. Also a good way to set some reminders are by inputting them into your cellphone and setting them to alert you on random days. Note: The more spontaneous you place a note or set an alarm, the more likely you are to actually read it and remind yourself of your resolutions.

So I hope these tips will come to use for those who need it throughout the year 2012. Best wishes and Good luck.

Remember to have the best results in 2012, Stay motivated and positive and best of yet keep checking back in to Trendy Keys!

Halloween Time!

With Halloween less than a week away, its time to pick a fierce costume (if you haven't already). So for my girls out there, here are some glamourous ideas so that you can have the hostest costume this Halloween.

Why not dress up like your favourite celebrity this hHalloween, below are a couple of celebrity halloween costumes that are inexpensive and quite easy to pull off.

1. Snooki
Snooki always wears something extremely short and revealing so to dress like Snooki this Halloween all you will need to do is wear a tight mini dress preferably black or cheetah. Accompanied by a her classic poof  and plaster yourself in bronzer and your ready to go!


2.Cristina Aguliera
The Christina Aguliera look is also another easy costume to imitate. For your make up all you need to do is a really good smokey eye and wear a bright red lipstick which is her trademark. Then for your hair, if you are not a blond then you can go out to your local costume store and buy a blond wig preferably in ringlets. If you are blond then simply curl your hair into ringlets. Then for your outfit you can wear a black minidress with either lace tights or semi transparent black tights accompanied with a pair black booties and you will look identical to Christina this Halloween.

                                          

3. Beyonce
Beyonce is a very glamourous girl and she loves to shine, so to dress up like beyonce this Halloween, try by wearing something that is glitzy like silver or gold. I suggest wearing something short because Beyonce loves to show off her legs. Also to ensure that you will appear like Beyonce, wear big sparkly earrings and as a fun prop you can carry a prop bedazzled microphone.
                                

4. Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga is always dressed in these crazy outfits so we can be extremely creative when imitating her, but if we had to narrow it down to her classic look it would be her trademark minnie mouse look with her long blond hair and front bangs with a hair bow and 60's black minnie mouse flip up sunglasses, so if you go to the nearest costume store you can buy a blond wig with front bangs and small circular sunglasses. For your makeup, in the pictures below, you will see that she keeps it pretty nude with a nude lip or you can do something more bold by doing the minnie mouse lips and wearing big black fake lashes.  Wear a black mini dress with pair of black stilletos and your ready to hit the road!

   

5. Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj is a very colourful person. she loves to be bright and loud so to imitate Nicki Minaj this Halloween you can start buy going to your local costume store and buy a colourful wig like blue or pink with front bangs. For your make up you can do a dramatic smokey eye with rosie pink lips and a pink blush. Then for your outfit you can either wear a bright mini dress, something that will catch your eye from a mile a way or some funky looking pants with a more laid back shirt. Top it off with a bedazzled pink prop microphone or a barbie chain. Put on a pair of pink stilletos and I'm sure you will often be mistaken for Nicki Minaj.

                                      

So there you have it, 5 celebrity costumes that will make you the star of the party! Happy Halloween Everybody!
