It's show choir season everyone! Time for long bus rides, teased hair, and the best bonding time with your show choir family. My first show choir competition is this Saturday and I am so excited! When you arrive at the show choir competition, you are there for an entire day, so its important you pack all the right things when you arrive at the high school. This blog post will talk about some things you might not think of bringing, but can really improve your day at the show choir competition!
Always, always, always, stay hydrated this season! No one wants to lose their voice during show choir season, make sure you bring a water bottle with you to everything show choir related. It's important to stay hydrated so make sure you can perform your show at 100%. But of course, make sure you have a water bottle with you after you perform your show!
If you have the usual show choir hairstyle with lots of teasing or poofs, make sure you bring a teasing comb. Regular hair brushes cannot tease your hair as well as a teasing comb can, so invest in a teasing comb, I promise it's worth it! I also recommend buying a teasing comb with a sharper end so you can also part your part with the teasing comb. And with the teasing comb comes the hairspray. Make sure you have a full can of hair spray with you cause you'll need it! My absolute favorite hairstyle to use is the Big Sexy Hair Spray and Play Hair Spray. This hairspray works wonders, one spritz and your hair will stay in place for an entire day.
If you're going out of town and will be riding in a bus to get to the competition, bring a blanket with you! If you live in the midwest, it's snowy, windy, and cold, so stay warm with a blanket. Plus, when you are on the bus on the way home from the competition, a blanket can easily help you fall asleep and stay warm.
Finally, bring something to do during the competition. You are usually at a show choir from 8AM to 2AM so it's important to bring something to do when your not performing. I always bring my knitting with me cause it's easy to carry with me and can allow me to do something else than just watch the show choir performances without completely distracting me from what's going on.
Happy show choir season everyone and may the odds be ever in your favor!

The Perfect Winged Eyeliner
Ladies, lets be real. Drawing the perfect winged eyeliner has got to be one of the most difficult things to accomplish, right behind climbing Mount Everest. Trying to make the perfect wing, making sure the line isn't too think or too skinny, then making sure you don't slip up, and the hardest part of all? Trying to make the other eye look exactly the same as the other one. Lucky for you readers, I do have some tricks up my sleeve that can help you create the perfect winged eyeliner almost 100% of the time.
Let's first talk how to put on eyeliner. The first step is to draw the wing first. Yes, that seems weird, you probably learned to first start in the inner corner of your eye, but that only makes it harder for you. Drawing the wing can be the hardest part, you could either make it curve too much or go completely straight. Here's my trick, continue following your bottom eye outline. So if you were going to continue drawing a line that goes in the same direction your bottom liner would go, that's where you want your wing to look like. Once you have drawn the line of your wing, you can go back to the inner corner of your winer and draw a thin or thick line to your wing. I promise drawing your wing first saves you the hassle of messing up your winged eyeliner over and over again. And since both your eye shapes are the same, drawing the other eye's wing will guarantee that it looks the same as your other eye since you will be outlining your bottom eye shape. Of course, this is only how to draw a simple, plain, winged eyeliner look. There are many different winged eyeliner looks you can experiment with!
Now let's talk about what kind of eyeliner to use. For winged eyeliner, I would always use a liquid eyeliner. Pencil eyeliners can create a sloppy, smudgy look that doesn't look as clean cut as liquid. But DO NOT I repeat, DO NOT buy the liquid liners that give you a brush and takes like 30 years to dry. Buy liquid eyeliner pens because they can dry easily and are so much easy to work with. One of my favorite liquid eyeliner pens is the Lorac Front of the Line Pro liquid eyeliner. This eyeliner looks like a mini pen and you an easily draw winged eyeliner without any hassle! If you want a cheaper version, I would recommend the L'Oreal Infallible The Super Slim Liquid Eyeliner, this eyeliner works exactly like the Lorac eyeliner, but has a bit of a bigger brush head, which makes a thicker wing.
Don't ever fear drawing winged eyeliner again, I promise these solutions will make winged eyeliner seem like a piece of cake! Have fun experimenting!
