How to slay with your hair comb
When it comes to picking the best hair accessories, it is a matter of preference – what suits your personal style? What catches your eye? What outfit do you want it to match?
Hair combs are a perfect way to glam up any outfit and it is essential to have them in store. There are many ways to style your hair accessories, depending on what look you want to achieve. Brides would style their hair completely different from the way you’d style yours on a random day even with the same accessory.
Here are a few amazing pieces we have. How would you style them?
Once you find an accessory you like, place it up to your head and look in a mirror before you buy it. Some accessories suit certain face shapes more than others.

Four times you should never wear jewelry
Who doesn’t love wearing jewelry? We doubt anyone would raise their hands, else you won’t be on this page. We also love when we see you slaying especially with our accessories except when you are doing any of these activities
Applying lotion
This is a no no. Never wear your jewelry when you are applying lotion or other beauty products. This can dampen the brightness and shine of your accessory and reduce its life span. We certainly do not want that.
Swimming
Do NOT swim with earrings, necklaces or bangles on. They could fall of easily or become discolored if exposed to to much chlorine from the water. It’s best to leave it in a safe place before going for a swim.
Exercising
There’s a lot of sweat that comes off your body as you exercise. Your jewelry doesn’t need that extra moisture. Please take it off.
Doing the dishes
It’s the same thing as swimming, except that there’s something extra- more chemicals. NOT GOOD. These chemicals can discolor the stones forever. Although they can be replaced it is better to avoid it anyway.

Choosing the right accessories for your white wedding
Jewelry is a key element in completing your perfect bridal look. Your accessories have the power to make or break your look if you don’t pick them wisely. Don’t let your jewelry steal the spotlight that should be on your dress, or you.
Less is more.
The first commandment for picking out your wedding jewelry: Don’t go overboard. No matter how tempting it is to load up you don’t want to risk letting your accessories outshine you. Keep “less is more” as your mantra and stick with a few key pieces rather than accessorizing every part of your body.
Match your metals to your dress.
Can’t decide between silver and gold jewelry? Let the color of your gown guide your choice.
If your gown is white: This bright hue looks prettiest with platinum or silver pieces.
If your gown is ivory: Gold jewelry will best enhance this creamy shade.
If your gown is champagne: Gold jewelry will complement the warm tones in this very light beige color. If you’re putting together an antique-inspired look, burnished silver with rhinestones also works well.
Consider your dress’s neckline.
Your gown’s décolletage will play a role in framing your face. Help it do its job by selecting jewelry that pairs perfectly with your dress.
Be yourself.
The most important thing about picking the perfect pieces for your wedding gown is they should be a reflection of you. If you’re not comfortable wearing big, chandelier earrings, stick to studs. Love the way you look in a lariat necklace? Go for it! If you’re happy in all your accessories, you’ll feel confident and that’s the best

How to get tarnish off costume jewelry
As much as some people don’t want to admit it. A number of people still own costume jewelry.
They are cheap and almost as pretty as the ones made with original precious stones .
The issue is when they begin to change color 😳. Nobody likes that.
The good news is that costume jewelry is cleanable.
But first, remember this mantra and repeat it to yourself: as little liquid as possible.
Cleaning costume jewelry needs a softer touch than, say, a pair of diamond earrings.
There’s no hard and fast rule for how often they need to be cleaned, but a good rule of thumb is the more you wear a piece, the more it should be cared for.
Here’s a good, and easy, method. You likely have everything you need in your bathroom already:
Mix together one drop each of baby shampoo and water (regular jewelry cleaners, usually meant for the real deal, are too harsh to use on costume pieces). Use a soft toothbrush or Q-Tip to clean hard-to-reach spots. Rinse off quickly in cool water and dry with a clean, soft hand towel or microfiber cloth. Use a hairdryer on the cool setting to be sure each piece is totally dry. This will keep them from rusting. Use a warmer setting and the piece may warp, or the glue holding any gemstones in place could melt.
It’s important to remember not to use anything acidic like vinegar or baking soda. Because this type of jewelry is so fragile, using something harsh or with a lot of acid could ruin it rather than make it look like new again.

A fast way to elevate a look is to add a pair of fabulous shoes, an amazing handbag, and, of course, jewelry. Depending on your mood, accessories can make your look more serious, expensive, or fun.
Take style rules with a grain of salt.
“The best advice I’ve ever received was to get outside the rules you created in your head about what should go together. Live outside the make-believe rules someone put in your head along the way.”
Think logically while packing for a trip
“Oversized Ziploc bags are the key to separating outfits: They keep everything folded perfectly and fit more in your suitcase while still allowing you to easily see what you’ve packed. Just squeeze out the air and toss them in. Use the dust bags that come with your shoes.
