Maybe She's Born with IT

So as you ladies may or may not know, I have been really getting into make up lately. Its starting to become my new obsession. I have been stalking youtube and finding new make-up guru's trying to soak up as much info as possible(just like i did with hair). Anyway one of the ladies channels I stalk (MissLBailey) Did rave review of Maaybelline COLORsensational lipstick. She had the prettiest shade of pink(Let me Pink) and i have been eyeing it for a while but have been to cheap to actually buy any until today. There is a BIG make-up Sale at wal-greens(seriouly if you like make up check it out) so I splugred, but guess what? I got the wrong color lol. It doesn't matter because I love it anyway. I plan on picking up a brown and a mauve before the sale is over that should last me for a while...






heres what i have on
Jordana Lipliner in Silver Pink
COLORsensational in 065 Hooked on Pink
Wet n' Wild Mega Slicks lip gloss in 565c

oh and P.s I am working on another Designer Spotlight and this guy might have the Caten Twins beat I just wanna do some more research on him. should be up next week!!!

RIP Alexandat Mcqueen..=/

I flat Ironed...

For no real reason but I was bored and wanted to see my hair. I wear 100% protective styles until I hit SL so sometimes I get the itch to mess in my hair. After playing with it all week figured I might as well flat iron so I can leave it alone and let it grow. here are some pics...

Healthy Meal #1

Ok so I decided to do my healthy meal for lunch today. I don't have to work until later on this evening and I find that when i'm sitting at home I tend to snack wayyy more than usual. So when I can down stairs to the kitchen looking for something to nibble on I found these, well not these exact ones, we have the ones marinated in Italian dressing but you get the point.



they are pre packed and pre portioned all you have to do is cook them. So I pulled out my trusty George Foreman Grill and grilled that baby up.(you can bake them I was just being lazy)

Then I went back to the fridge because I remembered that I had a bag of spinach and arugla that I needed to eat before it goes bad(YAY I HAD VEGGIES TODAY)and vola a meal was created.

I just put the salad on a plate and threw the chicke on top of it. The I drizzeled a little italian dressing on it and went to town.

I didn't think to wrtie this blog until after I ate or I would have taken pics but there you go 1 healthy meal down and a lifetime to go...

Loves this Bitch, can you Call Dorthy Dandridge a Bitch??




she might be my Miami inspiration. I think i'm going Glam this summer!

I found it at wal mart for $3.50. I got the yellow one and it is amazing. I bought it to put with fresh fruit and yogurt to make my own Yo Crunch because the original one has HIGH FRUCTOSE CONR SYRUP!!!!! IN YOGURT!

Anyway I found this and I love it, I ate some with milk and blueberries and I also eat it dry like a snack, plus its all natural and GOOD FOR YOU...

Today Is the Day..

I am to lazy to take the pic right now, but Today is the start of my healthy lifestly change/beach ready 2010! It's not a DIET, I repeat IT"S NOT A DIET! I don't wanna lose weight. I"m not fat, I just want to tone my body and find some curves, and learn to appreciate my body a little bit more. How can I live forever if I don't treat my body right now?


This is the first month so I don't have a set workout reggy down yet, but I do Plan to take a Core training Class at the Local Rec Center. Its every Frday so I figure Workout days will be Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's.

Veggie days will be on workout days, One so I can keep track of them easier and 2 makes sense right.

My healthy meal day will be more flexible because some nights I close and I am far to exhausted to think about cooking.

I will do updates weekly just to help stay motivated, and I will also share some tips and recipies I find along the way.

Peace
Much Love

Patience...

I am still battling my dry hair. It is slowly getting better. I am bagging or co washing each night depending on what i have planned the next day. Last night I co washed with Sauve Hummectant. Then I did a quick Kpac, Then detangled in the shower, then did an AVC rinse. I use 1/4 cup Apple Cider Vingear, and 2 Cups of water. Pour the mix into a water bottle, the kind with the pop up top, and applied it to my hair after rinsing ans pre detangaling in the shower.

Once I got out the shower I m/s and detangled thoroughly in 6 sections. So in each section I used a bit of HE lTR, Silken Child Detangeler, and sealed with coconut oil. Next i COmbed it all through from bottom to top, then I bradied that section and moved on to the next one.

This morning my hair feels the best its been all week, but still not back to normal so I will be baggying again tonight and tmrw and my normal wash day is Wednesday soooooo until then i am practing PATIENCE

Peace'
So Much Love
