NO HEAT CHALLENGE TWO MONTHS!!

Here are the rules

1. NO DIRECT or INDIRECT HEAT (brow dryers, flat irons, hooded dryers, or curling irons/wands)

2. Drink 6-8 cups of water a day (hair growth starts from the inside out)

3. Take a multivitamin Daily (One a Day Womens, Hair, Skin, and Nails, etc)

4. Deep Condition 1x per week

5. Wash your hair 1-2x per week

So I'm going to try the no heat challenge and see what happens. It's going to be a challenge because I'm lazy when it comes to my hair. So I'd have to go on youtube to find hairstyles.

I'll also be tracking what I'm using and eating. Right now it's a trial and error process because this would be my first time doing it and i have to figure out what products will work for my hair.

Join me in my challenge and document your success. Hope all is well. Stay Beautiful!

Hair Journey Oct,2,2013

 So I've cut my hair numerous times from the time I

was in 10th grade. My hair was never short but it

was about the middle of my back length. After I

graduated high school I cut all my hair off  don't ask why lol guess I wanted something different.

I loved it for a couple of months until I decided I was going to grow it out ughh what a pain.

Those awkard growing out stages lol. But the

pictures you see are where I'm official starting my

healthy hair journey on relaxed hair. As you can see it's a bit damaged and my ends needed a trim. I ended up trying to trim it myself but um no I'll never do that again lol. So only thing I'll be going to the beauty salon is for trims every month or 2.

My goal is to achieve bra strap length by the new year. I don't have a long ways to go. Also my overall goal is to maintain healthy hair.

I'll be doing updates, and posts on my regimen and everything else.

If you have been on a hair journey please share tips, or advice.

I'd love to see you guys progress.

Stay beautiful.


My next post will be on products and my regimen.

Fall Makeup Cranberry and Gold

 First let me say sorry for the horrible lighting it was a spur of

 the moment type thing I did at night, one of those I just want

to play in my tonight.

I think the blonde hair really set this makeup off!

I used my coastal scents smokey palette, using the coppers

and golds. I actually tried to do a previous fall look for you guys but i hated how it turned out.

Using an Ulta  mouse foundation in natural beige mixed with

NYX's white base and primer on my lids. Next I used the

dark black with the reflects of red shimmer on the outter corner of my eye blending it out making it

that cranberry color. You can't tell in the pics but I used a orange goldish color from the same palette

just packing on color. Next I used a deep pink purple in the crease making sure I blend everything. I

used a Costal scents liner in cabernet using a Milani lipstick in Sangria. Then I packed on a gold lip

color from my BH cosmetics 66 lip color paying close attention to the center. I went a little heavy on the blush not intently, tip "do not do makeup at night in your room if you have bad lighting". But for

the blush I used a no brand blush that was in a palette I got from my sister.

Once again sorry for the bad lighting, next fall look will be done early enough to get good pictures.

As for foundation I used Revlon colorstay in caramel.

Now for the oufit  it was random lol. I just needed

something cute for the pictures.  The shirt is from Charlotte  Russe about a year ago and it says  Be yourself, Everyone else is taken." It's a simple sweater pull over not to heavy
 perfect for the transition of the cool weather. I also have on a pair of black high waisted shorts accented with gold buttons,which are from Ross. To really make this outfit pop add a pair of black opaque tights with some cute ankle booties or combat boot. Whatever suits your style. The chain I have is from Plato's which was $5.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post and for any looks you want to see feel free to leave comments.


Remember stay beautiful.

DIY CAR KIT

Ever leave home and it seems like you're always forgetting something. Where's here's the solution CAR KIT! So I found this idea on Pintrest and was like this would come in handy. The original list had wipes, band aids, Tylenol  gum, tissue, etc. But seriously you can keep that in your purse. Personalize it  to what you feel is important in case of emergencies or just something you want to keep in your car. For me it would be sanitary products, an emergency stash of money, some extra pepper spray, lotion, and whatever else won't fit in my purse at the same time. Now if you decide to make this kit whether it's a small or big one keep it hidden especially if you're keeping something something as money in it. The best place is under your seat in the trunk or locked in your glove compartment. Well keep the money in a little bag and keep that in the glove compartment everything else under the seat or trunk. Decide to make this kit let me know what you have in as well as send pictures :)

Summer essentials

Who's excited for SUMMER??? I know I'm ecstatic about it, I jut feel this summer will be the best one. Maybe because I'm getting a car but even without that I still feel it will be a good one. Any who I know you guys are like dang can we get through spring first but I'm really excited for it. Only downfall about summer is the makeup melting heat whoo it gets so hot here that most of the time people stay in until at least 5 to do anything. On the bright side Summer is when all the cute fashion comes into play.

Here are some of my essentials for the summer.

Top Division:
Tanks, oversize tanks, crop tops,sheer shirts and tie front tops are the go to for the upcoming hot weather.
Make sure you have plenty of white tanks because these are so versatile and can make a new outfit everyday. Also put some colorful ones in there as well. Oversized tanks can be versatile to. Bikini cover ups, over a maxi dress or just by its self with and bandeau underneath. Crop tops paired with high-waist shorts and tie front shirts are just more pieces to add to your closet. Both work well with high waist shorts and skater skirts.

Bottoms Devision:

Now in the summer I know you want to be comfortable so leggings, high low skirts and anything flowy will be your go to pieces because they are weightless and comfortable. For my denim wearing girls high-waist shorts, distressed denim and colorful denim are in this season. It's always essential to have some sort of jean shorts for those causal days.

Shoe Division:

If you plan to be out a lot whether it's just hanging out with friends or shopping most of the summer whatever your activities are flats, oxfords, and sandals are for you. Wanna dress it up get some cute wedges and sandal heels for those date nights, or nights out on the town. Sneaker wedges are for those comfy casual days as well they put a twist on a girly look.

Accessories and other:
Accessories are essential for any season but for summer more is less due to the hot weather. Who wants to be swamped in ,because I know soon as that sun hits it boy will it burn you.   But my favorites are a cute pair of blockers, a big hat, cross body purse and clutches for those nights outs. AND we cant forget the BIKINI. I've went two years without getting in a bikini this year I will be in one lol. Mix and match patterns and colors have fun with it.

What are your summer fashion essentials and if you want to see a spring version of this post leave comments below.

Stay beautiful

Modern Vampire

So the other day I was just playing in my clothes and

makeup and came up with this look. Simple outfit

but dark makeup (hence the title modern vampire).

I would say this is a modern vampire look because

of the outfit. It's not all dark but modernly cute.

Black blazer ,simple white tee and jeans.

Now I'm pretty sure most vampires don't walk

around in leopard heels but they gave the look a diva effect.

Now to the makeup I used my costal scents palette.

Dark brown in the crease with some shimmery purplish colors

with gold flecks. Black in the crease as well drawn out in a wing. I

put tape on the corner of my eye to get that perfect line. On my

lips I used cabernet pencil from costal scents and the deepest red

I could find also lined in black around the lips smudged a little so

there wouldn't be a line of demarcation.

Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures I seriously need to invest in some rechargeable batteries and there will be quality proofed wise.


Like this look let me know and if you have a look you think I should try email or tweet me.

Style Inspiration Ft Ciara and Teyana Taylor

 CIARA!!!! I've been a fan of her style and music since "GOODIES". I love the fact

that she's so versatile from her hair to her wardrobe. Dress it up, dress it down, tom

boy style this lady looks good in it all. Beyond beautiful she is. Maybe I'm a little

obsessed but who wouldn't be she's FREAKING GORGEOUS. I remember in her

"Oh" video I was in middle school and her cropped blue jacket I wanted one so

bad. I found not the same one it was green and yellow and man did I think I was the

stuff lol. Such an inspiration. I'm really obsessed with her tomboy style. Those abs

the hats, and the sneakers on this chick LAWD!! I will be  re creating some of her

looks this summer so be on the lookout for those.









  Isn't she stunning in the floor length gown. It's well fitting and she looks gorgeous in it.

 This hair cut was the reason behind my big chop I figured if she could rock a short cut so could. Yall thought I was lying when I said she's and inspiration guess again. A lot of my outfit choices comes from this chick right here.

 Miss TEY TEY. Another fashionista I adore. She's also another one who can be versatile with her looks. Although they're styles are similar they're both unique. I like Miss Taylor for her uniqueness. The picture to your right is prime example. That big curly hair is amazing I love it. I have to get her adidas to they are freaking awesome. My favorite outfit is the is the one to the right. Pullover, collar shirt, suspenders, jeans, sneakers, and a fedora ahh simply the kind of fashion I love.

 I will also be recreating some of her looks this summer as well.

Like this post?? Tell me I need to work on.

Also if you have any celeb outfits you want me to recreate fill free to email or tweet me.
