How to Be Natural: A Natural Hair Rant
YT is messy. Their related videos feature can be dangerous. Last night I watched a vid from a popular YTer and after it was over I clicked on one of the suggested videos. This women was off her rocker. She talked about how only cowashing was a way to guarantee growth and to not use shampoo. She also stated that it is important to use oil to seal and that she only uses the best oils and hold up a bottle of One ‘n Only Argan Oil.
Love this rant!!!
On A Trip. So Fitting!
12 days! 12 days! 12 days! Can you tell I am getting excited? I am sure the days are going to drag on and the good ole job isn’t making the time move any faster. Anywho’s today’s color is brought to you by Wet N Wild’s megalast line. Now I am no stranger to this polish so I was excited when I found it in this lovely lavender color.
Color Choice #3
This is not as bright and vacationey ( love when I make up words) but it would definitely work for one of the dresses I will be rockin dontcha think?
I love this dress!
So how are you feeling about On A Trip? I am a little on the fence about it.
Wet N Wild On A Trip ( Sorry about that awful smudge?
18 Days And Counting!
18 days, 2 Sundays, and less than a gazillion minutes I we will be on the cruise of love lol. In my quest to narrow my nail color selection down for the trip I bring you color #2. The name itself might land it a position in the nail polish case.
Introducing 9021- Orange! Ha isn’t that awsome?
Color Choice #2
This color is a orange shimmery tone that looks oh so fabulous reflecting off of the sunlight!
9021-Orange From Wet N Wild
If this one doesn’t make the cut for my nails it may be a contender for my toes. So what do you think about 9021-Orange?
Countdown To Cruisin!
27 days, 3 Sundays, and a gazillion minutes that is how long I have until I cruise the open seas with my main squeeze for our 5 year anniversary. I have already started packing a bit and have my to-do and must have lists near me at all times. Between now and April 28th (the last day I have to pack) I have lots to do. My husband thinks packing is easy, just throw some clothes in the bag. Au contraire mon frere. On top of clothes I have jewelry and shoes to coordinate. And one thing that is not on some ladies radar NAIL POLISH. I would like to bring along at least 3 color choices on the boat. Bright yellow and neon green unfortunately will not jive with some of my formal wear or lounging gear. So as I chill on the deck with my adult beverage of choice I may want to do a quick color change. For the next 4 weeks I will bring to you a series of options and you have to help me choose! I can’t possibly bring a whole suitcase of polish with me, hmm or could I?
Color Choice #1
Dream On From Sinful Colors
So what do you think about Dream On from Sinful colors? This would be a great shade that will probably go with everything.
Kiss Nail Dress
Fun, fashionable, and fast are 3 words that describe the Kiss Nail Dress Kit. I received this product complimentary from the Influenster program to test and review. So far this product has been fantastic for me. If you are one that doesn’t care to change polishes often this would be a cool way to keep a manicure for an extended period of time and not worry about the maintenance.
In the kit you receive 28 strips that can be used for your nails or toes, a file, and a cool design book. The retail for the Nail Dress Kit is $6.99 and can be found in all major retail chains and mass retailers.
Kiss Nail Dress
The application of the strips is pretty simple. Just peel, apply and shape. It states that the manicure can last up to 10 days. I have yet to test that simply because I get bored really quick and like to change my nails often. Today I am on Day 4 and I could probably make it a few more days. I have a few snags but nothing major.
Nail Dress Instructions
To lengthen the wear time after a few days apply a topcoat to give the sticks a hint of glossiness and extra durability.
Day 1 Application
Day 2
Day 3. Still holding strong
All and all I give the product an A! If you would like to check out the other designs that are available head over to KissNailDress.com
The Gillette Venus & Olay Razor Raises The Bar
I had the exclusive opportunity to review the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor complimentary of the Influenster VoxBox program and let me say it was a nice treat. I love Gillette razors and Oil of Olay soap so this was the perfect product combination. I have always been leery of shaving without shave gel so on first contact I was nervous. The Olay Moisture Bar offers a moisturizing shave. My skin felt hydrated and smooth. No shaving cream required!
Moisture Bars
Razor handle, cartridge, shower hook
I love this razor and recommend that you pick up one. A refillable Venus & Olay with one replacement cartridge retails for $8.99-$10.99. The replacement cartridges retail for $14.99-$19.49. I think it is worth the price. I got a clean, close and long-lasting shave, you can’t beat that.
You can check out more on the Gillette Venus & Olay Razor at www.gillettevenus.com
What Is In Your March CurlBox?
I was not able to get in on the Premiere Curlbox so as soon as subscriptions opened for the next round I immediately signed up. So far I am happy with the items that I received for the March Curlbox. Once members started receiving the boxes photos and videos quickly appeared all over social media. One thing that was interesting to me was that some members had different items in their boxes.
My CurlBox has the following items in it:
A full size 8 oz bar of the Shea Moisture Organic Lemongrass & Ginger Shea Butter Soap
2 oz Ouidad Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner
2 oz Brown Butter Beauty Sweet Milk Leave In Conditioner
Mahogany Roots Olive & Avocado Moisturizing Hair Butter- oz not labeled
2 oz Ultra Sheen Super Smooth & Hold Flat Iron Protection Spray- not pictured my mom snagged it from me
2 packets of the Curls Curl Gel-les’c
1 oz packets of the Beautiful Textures Curl Control Defining Pudding
1 oz packets of each from the Lutrasilk line Curl Max Curl Pudding and Curl Activator Moisturizer
.5 oz packets of the Dr Miracles Curl Care Rehydrating Shampoo, Nourishing Conditioner, and Boosting & Defining Leave In Conditioner
Did you receive anything different in your Curlbox?
I will be getting the April subscription so that will probably be the deal breaker for me on whether or not I will continue with the CurlBox subscription.
Influenster Love VoxBox
I was lucky enough to be selected to participate in the February Love VoxBox from Influenster.
