Stretching: My routine :)

Hey guys, so this is my routine for stretching (usually 30 min b4 class). Make sure you stop when your body tells you to. And, warm up, and keep the room at a warm temperature to help your muscles. Stretch b4, and after ballet class. :) Hope this helps
-Butterfly-foot soles together, knees down to the floor-classic :)
-Frog Stretch-lay on your stomach, press your foot soles together, knee's and bum flat on the floor. Stretches you turnout.
-Straddle-open legs in a la seconde, and lean forward. Chest on the floor.
-Lunges left and right-Lunge with one knee bents, other straightened behind you
-Splits pre-stretch-Lay on your back, keeping one leg straight, bring the opposite leg up (keeping straight) to your chest/ear
-Splits-left and right
-Oversplits-take a phone book, and do the splits with one leg propped up on it. Or take two chairs, front leg on one, back leg on another
-Middle Splits
-Back stretch-Lie on stomach, push up with hands keeping legs together, shoulders down

Smiley Face Nail Art Tutorial! :)

You will need:

-Base coat (I used Revlon multicare base + top coat

-Bright Yellow polish (I used Sally Hansen Insta-dry in Lightening)

-Black polish (I used Silky Girl in black)

-White Polish (I used Silky Girl in white)

-Nail brush (You can purchase a tiny brush from an art store, or purchase a nail art brush at Sally's Beauty Supply Store

-Top coat (I used Sally Hansens Diamond Strength top coat)

-Bobby pin or nail dotter (You can purchase a nail dotter at Sally's Beauty Supply Store)

Stepz:

First, apply the base coat. Let dry. Then apply a thin coat of yellow polish. Add a second coat if needed. Dot on two black medium-sized dots with a bobby pin. Paint on a smiley face with black polish and a small paintbrush or nail art brush. Add two small white dots with the paintbrush inside of the two bigger black dots. Apply a top coat.

Best frosting ever!

So I recently made this frosting 4 some cupcakes, and it was absolutely delicious! It's great for piping on cupcakes, or cookies, as it's thick-ish (it can be made thinner, though).
Ingredients:
1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup cream cheese
small spoonful milk (more or less, depending on the consistency you're going for)
1 cup icing sugar

Stepz:
Cream the butter and cream cheese together, until well mixed. Add a small spoonful of milk, and add icing sugar 1 cup at a time. If you want a thinner consistency, simply add more milk. Store in a container in the fridge.
