Mixed Prints

It doesn’t have to be a red carpet for you to pull off a chic look on a Monday afternoon!


**We’ve all been there when you’re standing in front of your closet and full length mirror trying to pick an outfit that looks “together,” at which point, it starts to spiral out of control. You then realize your trying on your 10th top and your bed and floor are covered in clothes. What to do now??


**High Maintenance Hippys are all about the mixed prints these days...matchy-matchy is for suckers! Try something different....be mis-matched! Don’t be afraid to mix animal prints with stripes, geometric patterns with floral prints, and even add opposing shapes and color. You can try bold looks…fashion and HMHippy approve :-)


Here's some great bold looks...
Even try it in your home decor with wallpaper, pillows, and fabric...

Be The Resolution!

**Time to set those yearly goals. I've put together some helpful yet easy resolutions....ENJOY and HAPPY NEW YEAR!


Be Healthy...

Be Clean...

Be Beautiful...
Help Puffy Eyes...The cool temperature of chilled metal spoons constricts blood vessels, which helps decrease redness and puffiness in the eye area....Place in glass of ice water and when chilled place spoon on each eye following contour of your eye socket.
DIY for Dry Skin...With light texture and loads of Vitamin E, Almond Oil quickly penetrates dry skin and protects hands and nails from environmental damage...Rub 1 teaspoon of oil into hands and cuticles, wrap each hand into small towl and allow oil to penetrate for 5 min.
DIY Nourishing Hair mask...A Protein-rich mask helps to strengthen hair. In medium sized bowl combine 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 egg. Apply the mixture to your scalp. Leave mask on for 20 min, then rinse with warm water.

Be Artistic
Take Notes...Write it down!
Take Pictures...cherish those moments!
Take something old....Revive it!
