A reverse French Braid is just like a regular French Braid, but you cross the left and right strands under the middle strand, instead of over it. Here's how:

1. Pick up a chunk of hair where you want the braid to begin. Divide it into three equal selections.
2. Cross the left section under the middle section, then cross the right section under the middle section.
3. Now, add a small piece of hair along the left side of the braid (not from the original chunk you picked up) to the left section, then cross the left section (with the newly added piece) under the middle section.
4. Next, add a small piece of hair along the right side of the braid to the right section, then cross it under the middle section.
5. Continue braiding (making sure to cross the hair under, not over) and adding new sections of hair as you go.
6. When all of the hair you want incorporated is part of the braid, braid loose ends (if there are any) and secure with an elastic or barrette.

If you sprayed too much perfume (like Jessica Simpson's floral-scented Fancy) on yourself, dab a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol on it to help neutralize the scent.

Don't be afraid to add color to your makeup. Stay away from only using dark and neutral shades. Color will liven up your look and make your features stand out.

This is a great natural exfoliating treatment that you can make at home. Take a packet of sugar (raw sugar works the best), add a couple drops of olive oil to make it easier to spread, then gently rub it into the creases of your face. glam.com

Chamomile can be used to make your blond hair even blonder and brighter. Add chamomile flowers to boiling water and let them steep. Then, strain the water, let it cool, and apply it to your hair after it has just been shampooed. Rinse it out after about 30 minutes and your hair will have a lighter, brighter shine.
