I have noticed a new trend, which I had seen a lot when I was in the Bay Area a while back.

feather extensions, you can get clip ons or have them put in by a hair stylist, they can last up to a month and you can wash and curl along with your hair.

Back to Black

Happy Saturday!
I hope you are all enjoying this amazing three day weekend!.
So I had to share that after 2 months of my caramel brown hair I have gone back to black!.
I love light caramel and gold highlights but I was missing my dark hair, so I have gone back and I love it!
I'm going to stick to black for a while, or at least until I find another color I would love to try.
Enjoy the weekend loves

Hair straightener love

Who doesn't love nice silky straight hair?.. now, who hates having to straighten it?
Well I do and I'm sure I'm not the only one, my hair is long and curly so straightening it is a process where I start to wish my hair straightener came with a person to do it. I have owned & tried a few different hair straighteners, here are my top two fav ones! They both leave your hair silky and super straight!

Laser hair removal..

Laser hair removal is becoming a great option for many women && men.
A friend of mine is thinking of doing it, so I decided to see what all of this was about and found a few pros and cons on this procedure, which I will admit if i needed it I would soo do it, ok maybe, I don't know about the pain.
This procedure can be costly, and most people that have gone through with the procedure say that it is soo worth it. Would you do it?, thinking about it?.. well here are a few Pros & Cons


Pros
-No more unwanted hair ( slow regrow and hairs are lighter in some cases)
-less time wasted on salons,waxing and shaving.


Cons
- you need between 4-8 sessions
- it can be costly ( from 200 and up per session)




PS: If you are looking to get this done, it is best to get it done during the winter, since you need a break in between each session.

Oily skin

Summer is almost here, and for those of us with oily skin summer means more shine on our cheeks and forehead from the extra oil our skin will produce.

Fortunately there are a few ways to keep your skin from ruining your day!, here are a few tips.

One of the most important things to do is to keep your skin CLEAN at all times!

-wash your face at least 2 times a day.

-Wipe your face in between washes with pre-moistened alcohol wipes

-Also use oil absorbing tissues, to blot away that unwanted oil!
- Don’t over dry your skin either. Try a Facial Mist! They add moisture to your skin with out harsh chemicals. (Facial mists consist of mineral water loaded with beneficial herbs and vitamins.)

- i personally stay away from moisturizers, they clog up my pores and that can lead to unwanted zits! So my motto “So be kind to your skin. Just say no to moisturizers.”
- Scrubs, they are amazing for removing excess oil unless you have facial acne.
- A good facial once or every two weeks is a MUST, I do it once a week. This helps reduce your skin’s oilness. I use a mudd mask, you can also try homemade masks.

- Let your Skin breathe, I don’t wear makeup everyday so that my skin can breathe and show of that natural beauty.


So although oily skin can be a bit of trouble, if you follow these tips, it should help keep it under control and let you enjoy the summer .. oil free! (or well less oily).

Full Lips

Today I was doing a little shopping and a lady stopped me to ask me who or what I used to plump my lips. I must say I have some pretty full lips, so using a plumper is new to me. I have wanted to try them before but I don't think I would want to see the results. This got me thinking besides lip filler injections what else works? I did some research and found two great lip plumpers.

these produces are similar to lip gloss, but they are designed to give the impression of fuller, more alluring lips & after a few applications they will give your lips that full and juicy lips, we all want.

Du Wop Lip Venom ($16)

The original Lip Venom is a transparent gloss that enhances the natural color and shape of the lips by increasing circulation with a spicy, tingly blend of essential oils including cinnamon and ginger. The result: An attractively pumped up pout.

City Lips ($60)

CITY Lips treats your lips to a revolutionary collagen-peptide lip plumping experience that is safe and pain free. CITY Lips help build and repair collagen, increase lip volume, reduce wrinkles and fine lines, and make your lips look years younger
