My Curly Hair Routine

Lately I’ve been wearing my hair curly. Everyone else as well as myself has fallen in love with this style on me. When I go to work and its not curly everyone asks what happened and when will it be curly again.

Right now I am trying to stretch my hair. Meaning I am trying to go a long period of time without putting any kind of heat on my hair. No flat iron and no blowing dry. And I have done really well. I think its been maybe over a month since I last put a flat iron in my hair and over 3 months since blowing dry. Currently I find no need for a blow dry. I have to fight the temptation of wanting to flat iron my hair.

I do find with curly hair that my hair has been more dry and Im not sure what to do, do you guys have any suggestions? Please someone have a suggestion for me.

Well on to the regular scheduled post lol. After posting this picture on Instagram, I got a couple questions.

So I decided to record how I got this style so here it is ladies and gentlemen enjoy.

RiRi Hearts Collection

Today my package from the Rihanna Collection came.

What better way to start up blogging again than to show you guys the lovely items that I purchased.

Of course every customer could only order one of everything and in order to order additional items you had to complete more than one order. So you know I had to do two orders. My first order included everything and the second one included back up lippes

Rihanna collection included 3 lippes, one blush  and one lustre drop.

Lipsticks include 

RiRi Woo($15)

Similar to Ruby Woo but I would say its lighter and the texture is more moisturizing without changing the fact that the lippie is matte(retro)

I actually like RiRi Woo A LOT better (ssshhh dont tell anyone)

RiRi Boy($15)

This lippie is in the purple family. Its on the line of being lavender(in my opinion).

The texture is the same RiRi Woo, very moisturizing. 

Heaux(hoe)($15)

I think its pronounced “hoe”. I have heard it announced many different words but I think that one is the most fitting.

Swatches

Over all I absolutely love the texture of Rihanna’s lipsticks. They are VERY moisturizing without changing the lipsticks being retro matte. I would recommend EVERYONE going out and purchasing these and don’t forget to buy back ups lol.

RiRi Boy, RiRi Woo,Heaux

Blush and Contour duo($26)

Both of these colors are beautiful unfortunately the contour does not fit my skin tone as a contou. It is the exact same color as the powder I use to set my foundation. So I guess thats what I will be using it for. 

Lighter Skin Tones: This will be a great contour especially because there is no glitter or shimmer in the contour which is perfect

Darker Skin Tones: This would be nice for setting under eye concealers or setting highlighted areas

The blush on the other hand is great for all skin tones. 

Lustre Drops($20)

Barbados Girl, this is gorgeous. This is look great on all skin tones. I think the shimmer is just enough. A little does go a long way. Unlike Mac’s other highlight in Gold Deposit, this product is not over bearing or overwhelming. 

Well I will see you lovely people tomorrow.

Bye Guys

MUAH

Valentines Day Gift Ideas

Valentines Day Gift Ideas

Valentine’s Day is here! Did you already run out and get your hunny something?

At first I wasnt going to do a gift post only becasuse EVERYONE has done them but during a recent conversation amongst friends I realized a lot of guys think they have to spend a lot of money to make the special women in their life feel special.

If you have the funds and want to do a lot by all means do a lot!!!

This post is for those who dont understand you can spend a little and still do a lot and make her feel like you spend a million bucks...

First is a....CARD

No matter what the gift maybe cards are necessary! Despite what some may say and think. Take the time to read through a couple cards don’t just buy the first one you read (unless its absolutely perfect). Make sure it says everything your afraid to say to her. Cards can run from $1 up to $7, maybe more if you get one that sings.

Second is...Roses/Chocolates

Roses and Chocolate can be interchangeable depending on the women. I am not a big chocolate eater (sensitive teeth) so I prefer roses. If buying a dozen roses isnt in your budget then one single rose and a card will work. Its the fact that we are thought of and appreciated. 

And if your girl is a little different, look into getting her a black rose. Personally I like those because they are less common and it shows you searched for something out of the ordinary.

Third is a number of things

*Hot Bath

*Cooking Dinner

*Rose Petals Leading Somewhere

*Stuffed Teddies

Bubble baths are perfect, especially after a long day of work. And it semi only hurts the water bill. Most girls keep candles around for the smell and bubbles for relaxation. So there should be some around the house. A bubble bath isn’t complete without rose petals (in my opinion). Rose petals can be picked up from your local drugstore, I.E. CVS, Rite-Aid, Wal-Greens and of course Target. 

Now I know some guys do not know how to cook. I have a solution. THE INTERNET!!! You can get all kinds of cool recipes of line and they have step by step directions that make it hard to mess it up. 

Guys please give this stuff a try and I promise she’ll be happy

Valentines Day Lookbook

Valentines Day Lookbook

This morning I woke up and I felt so inspired to film a video and I thought what better than a Valentines Day video. It is right around the corner ya know...

These three videos are the actually outfits I am contemplating on wearing this Thursday evening (Valentines Day).

So far I am more leaning towards the last out, I titled that one Sexy. 

I bought that little number about 1 year ago and so far I have not had anywhere special to wear it to. Its got a plunging neckline which it perfect to wear out with my hubby. 

My most sexy outfits I ONLY like to wear out with my man because I am his. It seems  SO wrong to wear the sexiest thing in your closet when you babe isnt around but hey thats just me....

Anyways lol...Check out my Youtube for the whole video

Until next time my lovlies

2013 Wish

Lately I have found myself just wanting more and more things. I go through these phases were I just want to buy everything I see. Compulsive shopping!!! Especially when I am saving for one big item.

So to fix this problem I have decided to try something new. I printed out a picture of the item I want and wrote the price tag next to the picture and hung it up in my room.

In my wallet I wrapped a little pasted note around my debit card so every time I go to swipe it, I will have a moment of clarity to decide if I really need this item.

In a lot of those books  that help you get something you want, they say to leave reminders around so that way you know what your working towards.

The worse thing that could happen is it doesnt help me with saving my money, the best thing to happen is that it actually works for me and I can start using this method to help me accomplish a lot of things.

So you want to know what is this big item I want well its this baby right here...

Chanel Jumbo Classic in Pink

For my 21st I had really wanted to treat myself to one of this babies (not this one in particular). Due to life circumstances I had to spend my money on other things but hey thats life, things come up but now that everything else is taking care of I can give it another try. I was disappointed that my hard work was for nothing but now that I am over it lol I can dust myself off and give things another try...

So wish my good luck my lovelies
