Just wondering,What do you use as heat protection when you straighten your hair?
I typically use Redken smooth down heat glide  when I am straightening my hair.
It works the best with my deep conditioner I use, and is also in the same line of the Anti Snap serum I use to prevent breakage and split ends
So this is my D.C. day, I will probably change it to a more convenient day than Friday ..anyway I loooved today. I got a chance to try all the new goodies that I bought these couple of weeks including a new steamer, DC and a couple leave in’s.
So for starters I just bought…
Would you recommend the Clarisonic? I heard about and was interested in it because I have discoloration on my face.
YES!
I'd more than recommend it. I have bad discoloration on my face from when I used to use proactiv, it burned right under the apples of my cheeks and in the week and a half I have been using it, they are already beginning to fade. My pores are a lot smaller, and my skin is so much softer. The condition of my face now makes my makeup go on so much more flawlessly...
I could seriously go on but I'd be here all day. And I have no cons for it besides the price. If you can, I would totally get it. Worth the investment.Â
Deep Condition Week 1
So this is my D.C. day, I will probably change it to a more convenient day than Friday ..anyway  I loooved today. I got a chance to try all the new goodies that I bought these couple of weeks including a new steamer, DC and a couple leave in's.
So for starters I just bought the Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Mask $20 which smells amazing. It comes in this cute little green and brown container (I am a sucker for adorable packaging) and even though I was a little skeptical in the beginning after seeing and smelling it I quickly hopped in the shower so I can plop it in.
Its simple to use, loosely comb it through your hair and leave on for 5-10 minutes (but who are we fooling, my conditioners stay on for at least 15)
In my case I decided to try out my new hair steamer $80 I bought off amazon along with itÂ
I loooove it to say the least. The steamer makes such a big difference in my DCing, the conditioner really moisturized the heck out of my hair. I don't know if I will ever go back to deep conditioners without a steamer. (In other news I accidentally broke part of the hood being all manly with it :'( someone send me super glue)
After I came out of the steamer I washed the conditioner out with cold water, added my Cantu leave in $14 for 16oz and my Coconut Oil $9 to seal in the moisture.
and my hair looks flawwwless dahling. It it is usually so much more frizzy fresh out of the water, but it looks nice and healthy. I am more than pleased with these investments.
( No makeup and f'ed brows on tumblr, this is rare lol. Peep that skin too. My clarisonic and skincare routine has my skin looking better than it has in years yas)
About to roll out with new beauty posts since I had been MIA this week…stay tuned on the otha blog
Coconut Oil has my hair so sawfttttt
I loved how my hair feels when it has coconut oil on it. Its thick and strong feeling....I just love it. I personally use it to seal in the moisture from my leave in conditioners and other moisturizers I use on my hair. It does a really good job of smoothing down my wash and gos, giving my hair shine and improving the overall manageability of my hair (Less tangles = happy sloane). And also, for some reason I just love the smell...
The Top Ten Back To School Essentials!
This is my back to School Essential list. Not all the things on this list are beauty related, but are and should be essential to your school year. So take the time read and enjoy. I hope everyone’s school year goes amazing, I’m returning myself and everything on this list will be in my battle ready kit!
——————————————————————————————————
1. Eyeshadow Palettes
Eyeshadow palettes are essential in any lovelies collection. They give a plethora of color options and can easily transform you from day to night. For those of us Lovelies that are in college that is a definite plus. And I’m sure there are funky bright colored ones too like Sugar Pill 4-color palettes. The two Naked palettes and Nude tude palettes are much more refined but you can make glamours looks with them and they literally fit with ANY skintone.
 ——————————————————————————————————
2. Mascara
Mascara is like the basic thing, If i choose to wear anything that day. Mascara brightens your eyes easily and can be used directed in certain ways to help your dramatic looks. Some of my favorite mascara’s are Maybelline lash stiletto, Maybelline Great Lash, and Loreal mascara voluminous.
——————————————————————————————————
3. Blush
Blush is probably one of my favorite products, there was a time when I feared the power of it. Now I cannot! get enough of it. Honestly, you need just two blushes, one for a daytime look and one for your night time look. My love for everything NARS is serious and Taj Mahal is seriously the perfect everything for all afro skin of all shades and undertones. Golden sunset, Cinnabar, and Purple Passion from La femme are also three my favorites.
——————————————————————————————————
4. Nails
Fun, funky, classic, bold. Nails are definitely a fun way to get creativity with yourself. If you not a person whom likes to wear make-up everyday (such as myself) nail polish might be right up your ally!. Some colors I would suggest: Navy, Burgundy, electric blue, Coral, and yellow! Try Sinful Nails, KLEANcolor, China Glaze, OPI, Dots nail polish, E.L.F. and Butter London!
——————————————————————————————————
5. Lippies!
I adore lippies! Lippies are a plethora of things such as balm, lipgloss, lipstick, lipcolour, lipstains. I think they can be funky and can be low key. Lips are a really simple way to freshen your face after pulling an all nighter of studying. Putting on some clear lipgloss can help anyone. Some lippies I DEFINITELY would suggest would be Stila lipglazes, Mac’s ruby woo, NYX Syclia, E.L.F. Clear lipgloss, Revlon colorburst lipstick Fuchsia, C.O. Bigelow Rose Salve!
——————————————————————————————————
6. Lotions
I like to smell good, and Lotions keep this possible. I think everybody should have a small lotion they use on their hands or arms or just to smell good. It’s a good thing to have during the day while in school and damnit i like to smell good! Some of my favorites are The Body Shop Satsuma, Bath and Body works Midnight pomegranate, and Palmers cocoa butter.
——————————————————————————————————
7. Sheer and lace Blouses
Sheer  and lace is in and I have always been a fan of both. As a plus size woman finding pieces with sheer or lace in it was like zero to none. So I definitely feel a relief that there is a movement for plus sized women to have better options in clothing. Sheer and lace definitely plays on the femme aspect of fashion! You can dress it up easily with a body con skirt, black tights, and ballet flats. Then you could wear leggings and converse. Versatile and fits many different styles. I definitely would say to snatch a few of these blouses!
——————————————————————————————————
8. Booties
DO I really have to explain why this is on the list? Nah. Just look at the pictures.
——————————————————————————————————
9. Hair scarves
I know near the end of the school year, I don’t really care how I look but being a Black person my hair gets a lot of top priority. But having natural hair is annoying unnecessary work. So why not get a few scarves? It makes life easier, they’re definitely in trend and you have do a million things with it!
——————————————————————————————————
10. Naps
YES thats right I put naps. Contrary to popular belief, PEOPLE NEED TO NAP! Your body goes through two cycles where it gets most tired. 1-3am and 12-3pm! No matter what you do your body slows down in the afternoon because its time to rest a little. Instead of taking 3 hours naps. If you know you need to stay up for HOURS studying take a 10-20 minute nap. This will give you a  surge of energy. Don’t pull all nighters, plan yourself to put in a 20-45minutes and you will wake up with new amounts of energy. I’am telling the truth! Do your own research!

8 Healthy Ways to Start the Day

Wake Up Earlier
When you have a stressful morning, chances are that you’re going to be feeling stressed for many hours to come. But it doesn’t have to be that way! By simply waking up 20-30 minutes earlier than necessary, you can enjoy a leisurely morning without the usual hustle and bustle.Â
Eat Breakfast
You’ve been sleeping for seven to eight hours or more, so your body needs fuel to wake up your metabolism and help you power through your morning. Eating breakfast prevents you from overeating throughout the day, and people who eat an a.m. meal are less likely to be overweight than people who skip it.
Veg Out
Once you’ve gotten in the habit of eating breakfast, take it one step further and try to sneak in a serving of veggies with your morning meal. Add some mushrooms and tomatoes into your omelet, or try blending a little spinach in with your smoothie.
Take a Multivitamin
Although you should strive to get all the nutrients you can from your food, taking a multivitamin will help you fill in the gaps in case you fall short on any given nutrient during the day.
Drink Water
You’re going to need something to wash down your multi-vitamin with—so gulp a big glass of water! Not only are your fuel stores depleted when you wake up, but you’re also probably mildly dehydrated.
Sneak in Exercise
Working out in the morning is one of the best things you can do to get yourself on track for the day. Not only will you not have to worry about exercising later on in the evening, but you’ll also feel proud that you did something good for your body while most people were still asleep!
Stretch it Out
If a full-blown workout isn’t going to happen for you in the early hours, try a simple stretching routine, instead. You’ll still get your blood and endorphins flowing, while centering your mind.
Jot Your Thoughts
If your a.m. routine leaves you feeling scatterbrained by the time the sun is up, you may benefit from taking a few minutes to write down your morning thoughts. Journaling has been shown to boost self-esteem, and is a powerful way for you to work through any issues you might be experiencing.
I want to make body and hair butters today, I have been dying to do it anyway
and a cucumber face mask
pamper meeeeeeeee lol
Can we take a little time to talk about my best friend?
My baby, my clarisonic plus is everything. I had bought it a long time ago...very long time ago and never got down to using it. When I first heard of it I saw nothing but rave reviews and decided to shell out the 200+ to get this bad boy
now that I am finally using it I am in LOVE. First off, my skin feels so amazingly clean after using it. I literally feel like I am drinking a cup of coffee when I wake up in the morning and start massaging my skin, and it has only been a couple days. I haven't been using it long enough to get the physical benefits yet, besides my notably shrinking pores but I am already on the bandwagon.
I have always had problem skin, never that bad of acne problems but pigmentation issues and dark marks galore. My skin is farrrr from flawless. What I am hoping to get from using the clari is a solid skin cleaning tool and overall evening of tone which with some dedication and a few other tricks I am sure I will obtain.
More than happy with it so far. Now to find the perfect cleanser to use it with.
decided to have a productive day off- cleaned and reorganized my room & bathroom and it looks fucking great
Things I will be doing in the next few weeks. I have too much makeup to get it done in a day lol
A note about my wellness portion
My wellness section, like the rest of my blog, are tips, tricks and thoughts that are being accumulated for me. I post them on tumblr for the sake of organization, and for anyone else who would like to see them.
I am NOT telling you or anyone else what to do with their bodies, minds, or anything else for that matter.
With that being said, the wellness section is where I will post exercise information, healthy eating and living tips etc
They are NOT for the sake of weight loss. The point of the section is for me to accumulate ways to get my body in the best health it can be in, regardless of my weight, size, shape, or anything else aesthetically related.Â
So with that being said, enjoy :)
