The wait is over! It seems that we have finally defrosted from winter and spring is just around the corner. You’re probably changing over your closets and getting those pedicures to prepare for your sandals because to be honest, who likes to wear closed-toed shoes? If you’re like the majority of us, you like to cater your look to the season. Whether it’s your nails, your hair, your make up, it’s always fun to change things up. Fashion trends change from season to season, year to year, and it can be hard to keep up! So what is in for Spring/Summer 2015? Let’s explore everything you should know for your hair, make-up and nails!
Hair is something people tend to struggle with day in and day out. You style it the way you like it in the morning, but by lunch hour it’s already coming undone. Good news! A hair trend for Spring/Summer is exactly that. “Coming Un-done” styles are in! Wispy strands around the face, teasing that isn’t perfect, low messy ponies;
If you aren’t a great at-home stylist you’re in your prime!
Braids are making a come-back as well, and the trend is to have them look “lived in”. Whether it’s a French braid or a fish-tail, after constructing pull it apart so it’s not tight. Maybe leave a few pieces out around the face or pull it to the side. These are all good for day time wear 
and night time, but if you want to dress them up, there are a few things you can do. You can try taking a deep side part and pulling it all to the side. Take what is left of the ends outside of the braid and straighten them to look sleek and smooth. For the pony tail you can do low-mid height, leaving the overall look sleek and tucked in, but then adding a little wave or curl to the pony tail itself just to make it flirty and fun! Lastly, for those who hair isn’t long enough for these long braids and ponies, or who just like to always have your hair down, your trend is “air-dried texture”. If you have a natural curl or a beautiful natural wave, put the blow-dryer down, add a little product and go! If you have a hard time getting that perfect, natural look, style your hair completely,
then only spray the ends with some water and allow to dry. It will add just a little natural texture, without it looking like you just woke up! If you want natural, beach-y waves, add some product to your hair and split your hair in to two sections. Twist them towards the back and pin. Once dry, release your twists and your hair will fall into a gorgeous, Cali-wave.
Now that your hair is done, you must do your make-up. Some people may not wear much and that’s just fine, while others may have so much they don’t know what to do with it! If you’re one to just dress up your eyes, you must have a “perfect plum” eye-shadow. If a plum is a little too dark for you, try a lighter shade, but 
purples are definitely in! “Inky-Black eyes” are another way to be trendy without doing the rest of your face. The blackest-black eyeliner is in, and you can add that to your perfect plum shadow, or just wear it alone. A day time look would be the cat-eye that is clean and chic. Of course you would have to spend time mastering that because I think we can all agree it’s the hardest thing to do. At night, you could
tightly line all around the eye. You could also leave your face all natural, and do a thick eye-lid liner only. You may just want to line the outer corners of your eyes to make them appear more open. If you’re brave, or like to add a pop of color to your natural look, or only need to coat your lips to feel complete, bold red lips are in! Take some time at a make-up counter and try them all! Once you find one that you love, you won’t be able to live without it. If bold-red is a little too flashy for you, try an orange-red. It’s softer, yet adds the right color to brighten everything up!
Lastly, before you run out the door whether to work or a night out with friends, you want to add a splash of color to your nails. For this spring/summer, it’s either all or nothing! Wear that perfect plum on your nails, or that bold-red. Either one, you’re 
fashionable! If you are a more subtle person, or if it’s just what looks best against your skin tone, baby-soft polish is in. The palest pink or a chic nude all over the nail is perfect! You could even put a pink over a nude or vice-versa to create your own neutral look. Are you one to always have a design? “Negative-Space Manicures” will be your trend! These designs allow partial view of the naked nail. Whether it’s just a stripe of color on one side, or half moons
filled in on the bottom, these abstract designs allow for your natural beauty to shine through while creating a chic look.
A lot to take in right? Maybe you are already up to date on all of the style trends for Spring/Summer 2015, maybe you have found some new looks and styles you want to try out. Just remember that no matter what you decide to stick with, add on or throw away, true beauty is found within and that is a trend that will never go out of style.
Do you have the winter blues? It’s safe to say that at some point between January and March the snow and cold get to you in some way or another. So now you’re thinking about how much you dislike this time of year, and you’re probably getting a little depressed. But answer this question; Are you getting a pedicure regularly? Have you even looked at your feet lately? You probably only know that they are tired and sore 
because of how they feel. Show them some love! It’s so important, even when they aren’t on public display and here’s why:
1. They’re in hibernation. During the cold winter months, your feet are tucked away in their safe place, your socks and shoes. They should be fine there right? WRONG. There’s been an intruder and its name is FUNGUS. All though your shoes and socks serve as a protector for your feet, they are also keeping in all of the warmth and moisture created through-out the day, every day. What do dark places and moisture create? That nasty stuff called fungus which turns your toenails yellow and can even cause an odor. Getting a pedicure allows your feet to breathe, receive proper treatment, and also helps soak away any unwanted friends attached to your feet.
2. They’re drying up! Even though we just talked about how shoes and socks constantly on your feet keeps too much moisture in, for some people it doesn’t allow enough. Ever wonder why you have dry/cracked heals? You’re standing, walking, beating them up all day, and if they’re not sweating they’re taking the blunt force and becoming calloused. Besides, just because they are covered does not mean that they are always warm, and the cold, dry air does damage to them too. By getting a pedicure, you’re allowing them to get the proper treatment they need. Filing 
the feet allows for any calloused skin to be removed, and the lotion and oil allows for the proper hydration.
3. Routine Maintenance. Not only when your feet are in sandals should you be clipping the nails, moisturizing and polishing them. Through-out the winter months the routine maintenance of your toes is crucial! If you keep up with them monthly, when it’s time for them to be out and about there won’t be the initial “OMG HELP THEY’RE AWFUL” appointment. During a pedicure, your technician will cut the nails, push and cut back the cuticle, file and polish the toes. Of course the polish is optional, especially at this time of year. Your feet need this!
4. Stress Relief and Relaxation. So of course all of the previous are very important and are the main reasons as to why you should be getting a pedicure year round.
However, besides the health of your feet, pedicures promote the health of your mind.
You get to sit down for an hour, not around the hustle and bustle of your normal every day. Your feet sink in the warm water, the bubbles tickle your feet, they are getting the treatment they need and you are getting the relaxation you DESERVE. Before polishing, your lower legs and feet are massaged with a scrub of your choice, and then rubbed with either an oil or cream. Who could say no to that? And again, polish is optional, especially when they won’t be out for all to see during the cold weather. Pedicure does not mean polish, it simply 
means professional care for the feet and toenails.
Now that you know the perks of having a pedicure, are you going to put that on your to-do list? The benefits are worth every penny, and your feet will thank you, especially when the warm weather comes. There IS warmer weather coming right? We sure hope so!

It’s often difficult to determine whether your nails are dry or if they are weak.
Weak nails actually fold, split and crack instead of just pealing. To fix this problem, Trind Nail Repair is your best bet! They even come in different colors, perfect to use as a polish so that while you are in the repairing process you don’t have to show your natural nail.

This is just a mild fluid that softens the cuticle which allows you to easily push the cuticles back and dissolve away. You will visibly notice a difference instantly in the look of your nail, and over time your nails will grow faster!
All of these nail problems and then some are often caused by nail biting. No matter the age, the gender, people will always bite their nails.
