New Things To Come!

Hello Everyone! It's me, Lizz, again! Of course!

You may have noticed! My name changed again...I forgot my username for this account in January (long story) and I just remember it now (in May)! But I started another blog because I didn't want to stop blogging so I made another account! But now that I'm back on my old one the names switched again! I swear (jk I'm crossing my fingers lol) this will hopefully be the last time I ever change this name! The only other time would be to to get a URL without blogspot.com on it.

I'm also starting up my YouTube channel again! I miss making videos! I'm trying to do this thing where I do things I liked to do in the past and new things in the future. One of which was making YouTube videos! I love being in front of the camera! Telling you my tricks and tips on beauty and fashion! I'm excited! Are you?! Let me now any video requests in the comments!!!

So I hope you still stick with me!!! It may be new names every few months but it's still the same me!!! Thank you for everyone who has stuck around with me since the beginning!!! It's been a long trip!

Much Love.
TTFN!

Last Minute Lizz : 4th of July Edition!

Well, I might be known for putting off things till the last minute (but really who is ALWAYS on time?). This is where Last Minute Lizz comes in for the win! An expect (*LOL not so much) guide to your last minute ideas! Today I'll be talking about last minute Forth of July ideas! Since tomorrow is the 4th and you were conveniently asked to go to your best friend or family BBQ but don't want to come empty handed here's a guide to last minute treats to make the night before or even the day of! OR!! Or are you the host and totally didn't get enough decorations to entertain your guest? Don't worry! I got you covered!

Pretzel + White Chocolate + M&Ms + Sparkles = Your best last minute treat! 

I've made these cute treats so many times for parties and they are always a hit! Who doesn't love pretzels and chocolate! All you have to do is get square pretzels, white chocolate Hershey's, pick out the red M&Ms, and some blue sprinkles! Or blue M&M's and red sprinkles! Put the white chocolate on top of the pretzel...put them on a plate and into the microwave for about 20 seconds (really depends on how strong your micro is! Just until the top half melts!) Take them out and place a M&M on top with a few sprinkles! TaDa! Now, my tip would be to put them in the refrigerator for about a half hour/hour so that the white chocolate doesn't totally melt in this heat wave we've been having! 

Have you ever tried these out?! If so let me know! :D

Ahhh...the strawberry dipped in chocolate! White Chocolate! So easy and a sure win at a party! All you need to do is melt down white chocolate chips, dip the strawberries into it and spring on blue sugar or sprinkles! 

As you can or cannot tell white chocolate and sprinkles/sugar are a sure win-win products here! 

Now for decorations!

A party trend/favorite at the moment would be these adorable printables! These are totally DIY material! Just go to your local crafts store or print them out from different websites! I know Etsy has a ton! You can tape them to straws, popsicle sticks, well any kind of sticks! For a backdrop put up the good old American Flag! Or get some stars to hang around, streamers, tie the ends of bandannas together! They are super fun and a cute way to remember the day! Don't forget to Instagram them later! *wink wink*

This has got to be my favorite last minute decoration idea! Magic flowers! Take a vase (or mason jars! Even cuter!) full them up with water and add red or blue food coloring to them. Buy some white carnations (or any white flowers) and watch the food color color the flowers!! At the end of the night let your guest take home a flower but tell them to put the opposite color and see what happens! 

Well that's all I have for you today! Tell me your last minute 4th of July ideas or party ideas!!! 

Also, shout out to Pinterest for these awesome pictures! Follow my Pinterest for more ideas! ---> (HERE)

How To Curl Hair That Wont Curl!!!

Do you ever have those days were your hair just doesn't curl!!! Something I straighten my hair but want to have banana curls. Only thing is it will never curl! Ironic because my hair is super curly! But I found a way to curl my hair and have it stay! I have a video of the quick and easy way to do so! I do suggest when you have the time to curl it like this to do so but if you have to go out really quick this may not be  the best thing to do!

Shopping List...
-Bobby pins
-Comb
-Curling Iron (Whatever size you want! Just remember the bigger the wand the bigger and loose the curl will be!)
-Hair Stray!

Lots of Love,

Life According To Lizz

Hello Everyone!

To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. - Winston Churchill

I'm going to live by this quote at least for right now. I'm always trying to improve in life. Improve in everything that I do because I want to be the best that I can be! With that plus being so indecisive (a curse that's very bad to have in life...) it's hard just choosing one thing and sticking to it. Hence the 4 blogs and what...6-7 YouTube accounts I've had over the past 4 years...Sometimes I have to find loop holes in things like blogging and YouTubing when choosing the names for things like these. Nevertheless, Welcome to the new and improved GirlMeetsFashion.com. Now known as ElizzabethHope.com aka Life According To Lizz!

Life According To Lizz is all about my life and what I'm up too! Kind of like an online journal I'm posting for the world to see. I'm not going to get too into my life but you'll see my outfits, new makeup looks I like to try out, music playlists for every occasion, inspiration and DIY projects. Also what me and my best friends are up to because we can get pretty crazy sometimes.

 Well, I hope you like the new blog! Sorry if I'm confusing a lot of people! Here's a link of all my official links for now!

Ok, that is it for now!!! I have to go and sew pants before I go back to school. Real talk. True Talk.
Hope everyone's Easter was great and the bunny was extra special towards you!
I got a new Alex and Ani charm from the easter bunny! Knows me all to well! It's the elephant because I love elephants! Yey!

Lots of Love

I survived the first 3 weeks of college!

Wow! It's been a while! I can't believe I survived the first 3 weeks of college! Words that can describe the first 3 weeks...crazy, exciting, nerve-racking, new traditions, all of the above. So many thoughts, feeling, and getting used to my new surroundings! I still don't think I have it all set yet! Every week I have to have my Mom come down to bring me things! I feel bad! But I keep forgetting things!! haha! This week I'm having her bring me sweatshirts and my camera!!! I miss my babies! haha! Although I am trading in my camera :O I know! I want to try out a Canon or get the Nikon D5100 instead of D3100!

Things I'm still getting used to in college....

-the food! I'm becoming a vegetarian here! I haven't ate meat this whole time! I'm dying for a nice steak or hamburger! Not going to lie...I don't totally trust the meat here! Call me crazy I know I am! haha!

-Waking up! One of my roommates wakes up the same time as me most of the time and one wakes up at like 10 everyday...I wake up at 7ish! So waking up and walking around with the squeaky door gets to be very hard sometimes!

-The sound! I live in one of the nosiest dorms of them all!!!!! Not lying, we call it the Zoo...! As we type right now there's someone down the hall blasting music and talking loudly! Although everything echos! Especially the doors slamming!!!   

Yeah...pretty much it for right now! Well here are some pictures from the past 3 weeks! Enjoy! 

Painted my nails for the first week! Told Seventeen Magazine about it and got 37 likes! So cool! Follow me on Instagram! My username is ElizzabethHope!

One of the 1st week outfits! 

Blazer - LC by Lauren Conrad

Black Shirt - Forever 21

Jeans - Hollister 

Shoes - Tory Burch

Necklace - Forever 21

I find myself straightening my hair alot now...2 reasons..it's quick to style in the morning and I can sleep in a little later if I want because I don't have to wash it everyday!

Fence at my school. It was really cloudy! Idk...I like it! :)

This happened on the same day as the last picture!

My makeup storage! Yes I dedicated the first drawer to makeup! 

Sketches for a class. I'm sketching alot these days as well!

The 2nd weekend on Sunday only my roommate and I went to New York for a trip with my school! So much fun but we got lost :/

New York buildings! I like the silhouette of the buildings but you can see the ones far away!   

New York Collage! Time Square, DASH, LOVE sign, and Madison Square Garden! Yes, We went to DASH! Finally! The Kardashian's store! Loved it! But I thought they designed the clothes for some reason? They don't...they take clothes like Alice and Olivia and others... 

Brandy Melville!!!!! FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY! I've been dying to get things from this store! The store itself is very small...well narrow...and there were a ton of people there! I think it's because it was memorial day or something like that...I forget to be completely honest..

My nails currently! Inspired from Pinterest! 

So I was going to do a New York haul but instead I am just going to wait...My roommate now knows I have a YouTube and a Blog so I'm hoping she'll help me take pictures for my blog while I'm here at college! Other then that everything's been great! I'm having alot of fun and learning alot! Oh and I got hypnotized last night...yeah...let's not talk about that right now... 

Video : I Want To Be a Beauty Smartie!

Ray Ban & Zoya & 18th Birthday!!

Hey Everyone! First off sorry for not updating as much! I'm been crazy busy with finishing up school (12 days in counting!), tennis matches, and trying to get everything ready for my T-Shirt brand! Lo Down Apparel! Check out the website here! www.lodownapparel.blogspot.com 

Yesterday (the 8th) was my 18th birthday!!! Can you believe it I'm 18 years old! It's so weird saying that!!! I didn't get much for my birthday, senior living is hard work I guess...so I asked for gift cards to Nordstrom so I could get the Ray Ban sunglasses!!! Miley Cyrus herself has the same pair! I don't know if they are in the same color but I do know she has round Ray Bans! I love them! Can you say summer sunglasses!!! Then I went to Ulta and got this Zoya nail polish to try out! Eva Chen beauty editor of Teen Vogue RAVES about these!!! I've been looking all over for them and finally found some! Can't wait to try it out!!!
