Mermaid Face

I'm finally posting this. Its the make up I wore to an all white party back in July. Briana from "The Glossy Posse" is responsible for doing my face.

It was the first time my face was this beat and with lashes. I'm soooo in love with these Red Cherry lashes. They weren't the most comfortable at first but I stuck it out the whole night.

Make sure you check out www.theglossyposse.net It's my other life and part of the reason I'm not blogging as much but I'm trying to change that. We also have a contest up right now. You should enter! $150 worth of products up for grabs.

Long Hair Don't Care!

I've mentioned it before as I was trying to log my hair journal, but I've done it. I didn't have patience and the grow back process was blowing my life. So I took matters into my own hands...and decided to add some hair. So what...shoot me. I dyed my hair black and added 12inches of Remy hair. I'm so happy with the results. Its not the first time I've done it. I've made the decision that I was meant to have long hair and I will continue to wear my hair like this until my own hair grows out.

If you're in the DMV area (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and want to get extensions I HIGHLY recommend my stylist Shaliece. She's amazing! Visit her site In The Cut by Shaliece. Just read the testimonies. She's also a member of The Glossy Posse (as am I). Visit our site as well www.theglossyposse.net and follow us on Twitter! @TheGlossyPosse

HAIR THURSDAYS!

I just realized that for some reason lately I've been doing my hair on Thursday nights. I think its because I won't let myself leave the house because there are things I want to watch on tv and I need the time to do my hair and let treatments sit. Right now my Thursday line up consists of the elimination results from So You Think You Can Dance and I watch The Fashion Show (which I love!)

Tonight I will be washing and deep conditioning my hair. I've been reading a lot of blogs (the brown/ethnic girls) that I follow and they all wash their hair every week! To me that's kinda crazy. I really don't know if I have the energy or the time to do that every week. I have to spend hours on my hair. I generally let it go until I see dandruff or my layers don't fall the way I would like them to. Gotta have bounce and flow in my hair honey! Once I shake out my wrap and it goes limp from product build up, THEN I will wash it and start from scratch. If someone can really explain to me why its best that I wash it every single then maybe I will conform. Otherwise every 2 - 3 weeks works for me and my hair grows like a weed.

Tonight I'm going to use my Shea Butter Shampoo and Conditioner by Frederic Fekkai. I'm then going to follow up with my Tui Hair Smoothie by Carol's Daughter and let that sit for about 45 minutes with a cap on. Then I'm going to let it air dry 75% of the way. After that I will put a little Tui Hair Oil by Carol's Daughter on my hair and blow dry it. Then I'm going to flat iron it with my Chi and wrap it. Now you see why I don't like doing this when I don't' have to?

I Finally Have My 'Orgasm'...NARS that is

OMG ladies! I FINALLY have NARS blush in Orgasm. I'm so excited. I've been wanting it for quite some time. So many MUA's speak so highly of it and I don't like being out the loop. If its good then I think its great and I have to have it. I just didn't want to part with the money to buy it, plus I was stuck on this only owning MAC thing. 

My friend Briana (and Captain of the Glossy Posse) hooked me up and gave the blush yesterday. I completely forgot that she said I could have it so it came as a surprise. I think I really jumped up and down like a  school girl. I haven't tried it yet but I will within the next hour. Many pics to come! I'm sure this will now be my standard blush with every look just because I was so pressed to get it.
