My First Blowout!!
Hey Dolls,
This week I did my very first blowout! I was inspired by Glamazini. I wanted to take some length check pics, but I didn't want to flat iron. So when she uploaded this video I thought I would give it a try.
I used the Bee Mine Luscious Moisturizer and Grapeseed Oil and My heat protectant. I will warn you the Bee Mine is crazy expensive(about 19 bucks for 8oz) but they do offer sample sizes to try before you buy, and if you are a mixtress you could probably make something close. (i'll do a full review later but ya know)
Can I just say I am in love with my fro!! And My hair reverted right back to its original state, so the grapeseed oil is a keeper. I also was impressed with the Bee Mine! I have only used it the one time, so it's too soon to tell if its a new HG, but I am loving it so far.
Anyway enough of my rambling, here's the Video

Weekly Update 12/5-12/12
Hey Doll's,
I know its been a while since I posted, but its for a good reason, I am in the process of filming and editing My Terressntials Mud Wash detox. Today is day 5 and without giving too much away, I think this stuff is going to be a game changer for me!
Anyway, I think I am going to start writing weekly updates, just to keep you guys up to date on what's going on with me, my hair and wedding planning. So check back here every Monday for that.
Last week was pretty uneventful, I started the mud wash detox mid-week so I have been keeping a pretty low pro since my hair was going thru the ringer.
Wedding wise we are in the process of planning our engagement pics! I also started a wedding blog, but I think i'm just going to keep it for updates for friends and family so they know what's going on with the big day, and post planing ideas and pics on this one.
I also am going to start with fitness updates, I will just incorporate them into this weekly update, as I am only really interested in toning up, for the wedding/honeymoon
so it's not like I am expecting major transformations!
Ok that's all I wanted to say for now. Be on the look out for my detox video and have a great week!
Peace
So Much Love

VS Fragrance Haul
Hey Dolls,
As you can tell from the title I did a little fragrance haul at Victoria Secret today. I love to buy lotion and body spray from them to layer under my perfum or just to wear around the house so that I can still smell good but not waste the expensive stuff!
I like to pick up scents in pairs, 1 body mist and 1 lotion(I prefer the ultra moisturizing hand and body cream, but they also make a body lotion, and body butter if you were looking for something lighter or heavier)
I normally buy from the Secret Garden Collection when they have those buy 6 for $35 sales. Basically if you buy 6 items from the line then you get a 7th free. Plus I had a $10 off coupon so I ended up getting my 7 items for $26! It's totally worth it considering these 7 thing will probably last me for about 6/7 months lol!
I try to pick scents according to season and what I think will work well my the perfumes in my current stockpile. That way I can layer them with similar notes and customize my fragrance so that I never quite smell like anyone else!
Anyway enough rambling here's what I got!
Wild Scarlet-- juice apple and lily (I put DKNY Be Delusions on my Christmas list)
Amber Romance--amber and creme anglaise(I love anything with amber in the colder months)
Sheer Love-- white cotton and pink lily(This is a very clean smell I figured it would work with almost anything or even be perfect for wearing fresh out the shower.)
Lost In Love--Brazilian orchid and Kiwi (I picked this up as my 7th free. I bought this fragrance in the summer and loved it so much I figured I would repurchase the lotion since I ran out, and still had half a bottle of spray. It smells the same but the older version had passion fruit instead of kiwi. The difference is subtle and I probably wouldn't have noticed if I didn't write this blog! I guess the floral is the main note so the fruit it is mixed with doesn't change the scent all that much.)
