Oh my!

Guess what guys? Today marks exactly one week until my 20th birthday. I'll no longer be a "teenager" and my childhood will only be a fond distant memory, I know a tad dramatic, but it's true. On July 6th it will mark 20 years of my existence. It seems like just yesterday I was having my 6th Barney themed birthday party at my aunts catering hall and dancing with my cousins in my cute new Gap outfit! Man I miss the good ole' days, no worries, no responsibility, no cares just being a kid. Now I have to worry about things. Money, time, work, college, and balance a social life. It's a little stressful and I DO NOT handle stress well, but it's something I can't avoid. I'll just take it with a grain of salt and continue to learn from my mistakes and grow up, now all I need is a boyfriend. LOL!

Peace & Love

The Nail Files Linkup: Week Five

Hey y'all, I know I haven't been posting too frequently, its a really busy and stressful time going on in these parts right about now. But it is after 1:00 AM, and I found some time to do my nails and join this here linkup! You know the drill if your nails are all pretty and things head on over to Vicki & Tara for The Nail Files, and linkup so you won't be left out of the equation. :) My nails have been growing so much and so long and I kinda prefer them short and neat so I trimmed them up this week, and I knew for sure I wanted to do some kind of pink and bright summer color!

• Wet & Wild: Wild Shine in Dreamy Poppy $1

So this was the color I chose. Its super pretty and super affordable. Just a pretty hot pink.

Wet & Wild has some really nice and pretty polishes and SO affordable.

Anyhow, I realized my nails looked WAY to plain, I'm not so plain...Lol. I love just adding a simple touch of sass with an accent nail, and since my nail last week didn't have an accent I added another polish to my ring finger for a little extra somethin' somethin'.

Essie LuxEffects: Set in Stones $8

So I broke out my Essie Luxeffects in Set in Stones($8), which I've been waiting to use since I got it.

Then the finished product looked like this...

I think it added a little something, but not too much. Me like! Do you??

I love mixing polish hi's & low's(if that makes any sense) together.

The Nail Files Linkup: Week Four

Hey y'all. I'm always late for everything, but better late than never right? No? I'm sorry guys. Any who, I'm linking up with Tara & Vicki again this week for the Nail Files to show off my color choice this week. I recently went to Wal-Mart with one of my best beauty/nail loving friends Kierstin(Kee) and lets just say we went a little crazy... I noticed later I got more Autumn/Wintery colors rather than bright spring/summery colors, but its all good. I'll make it work. Moving on... my, my, my I have a short attentions span...FOCUS! These are my nails this week.

Sorry about the horrible quality(my camera and I are still playing hide & seek, and its winning!) And don't worry, the greasy looking stuff around my nails are these Sally Hansen Quick Dry Drops.

 Here's a better picture. Its is VERY sheer compared to the color in the bottle, and you would probably need a good three coats, but I only did two, out of pure laziness.

This is a very affordable polish, its from the brand NYC in the line: In A New York Color Minute Quick Dry Nail Polish (try saying that 5x fast!) Its in the color "East Village" Its definitely buildable, but i didn't feel like building it up. Its kind of a duo-chrome sea foam green-turquoise situation...I still like it!

So enough babble...Go ahead and link up with Tara & Vicki, and grab the button too!

The Nail Files Linkup: Week Three

So I'm linking up once again, and I was feeling  kinda fancy this week. So here's how I did my nails.

So obviously I'm a tad obsessed with Sally Hansen polishes...they are MY FAVORITE along with Essie. The white is called White On, the sparkly one is Strobe Light and the purple is Lacey Lilac! I attempted a little polka dot situation....

So if you wanna link up, head over to either Tara or Vicky's blog and link up!!

Latest Obsession!! 😄😃😍

Just wanted to do this quick post from my phone to let you all know about my latest obsession that I'm actually snacking on right now while doing some homework. I don't even care about the nutrition facts because they're that damn good! It is however a great alternative to a box of candy on movie night. I first found them at CVS about a month or so ago, and I've been hooked ever since. They're honey roasted peanuts by Emerald. Since I'm gonna be doing the Foodie PenPals, YAY!! Cant wait!! My pal is definitely going to get a few packs of these! Yum yum in my tum tum!!

Peace & Love

I've Moved On Up!!

So guess what guys... My phone got stolen at a grocery store and I was completely devastated. What 19 year old do you know can go 24 hours without a cell phone. Don't worry I'll wait.... Exactly, NONE! But I didn't want to wait the three or four days it would take to wait for a phone to come through the mail. So the very next morning me and my lovely mother went to the nearest AT&T store and coincidently I was eligible for an upgrade so I was able to get a new FREE iPhone!!! Yay! I got this one insured and bought a case to go with it. I'm so excited. The only down side is I have to manually re enter all of my phone numbers and I lost all of my photos and stuff. #epicfail. But I get much better apps, so I'm excited about that. But the store I went to didn't have the phone on stock, but they called another store and had it put on hold for me. While I was at the original store I got a case for the phone it was about $30, and when I got to the other store they had some cases on clearance and it was a MUCH cuter case anyways versus the other black and red case. And it was only like $17 something,so I exchanged the cases and saved a little money in the process. I already have the basic apps, angry birds, temple run, pandora, Facebook, twitter, google, and all that good stuff. If you guys have any app suggestions please let me know. I'd love your forever! :) and I'm posting this status from my phone right now via my blogger app!! It excites me. Obvi!

Heat-Free Summer Challenge!

OK guys, remember when I briefly told you about my plans to wear my hair curly all summer long. Remember? Great. No, great that you remember not great for my patience or frustration level. I'm not going to put heat on my hair until either the first official day of fall, sometime in September even though it'll still me hotter than fish grease out, or the beginning of September when I just can't take it anymore! It'll probably be the second one. L0l. This means no blow drying, no flatiron, no anything else that has heat. But now is a good time for me to experiment with all my curly hair products. Right now I'm using the Head & Shoulder's Shampoo, Herbal Essence Hydralicious conditioner, a Dr. Miracles Damaged Hair Treatment (not to sure on the exact name) 100% Organic Coconut Oil, Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie. So my actual routine came from the inspiration of the Glamtwinz334 from YouTube. They have hair very similar to mine just longer, and a little thinner. My hair is SO unbelievably thick and annoying, it really makes me want to give up on this whole "Heat Free" thing, or take some scissors to my head and go all Britney Spears, but I wont. So my regimen is at night, and first I shampoo of course, I scrub my scalp really good because I have psoriasis of the scalp and you don't want to leave any dry patches behind. Then sometimes, if I'm not feeling incredibly lazy I'll shampoo again, then i put some warm EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil) all over my scalp and some of that Dr. Miracles treatment, which I don't really need, I just like how it makes my scalp tingle and the peppermint smell. After about 10 minutes I rinse that out, then i take about a half teaspoon of coconut oil and rub that all into my hair, especially the edges and the ends. Then I section my hair off into four section and take a good scoop of the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and work that into my hair and running my fingers through it to detangle as much of it as I can and stretching it out, because I don't like when my hair looks short. Then I take smaller sections and take alot, and I mean ALOT of the Herbal Essence conditioner and work it through my hair, roots to ends and some on the edges. Once I'm finished with the conditioner I flip my head over and stretch and scrunch the ends repeatedly. Then I take a scarf and tie it around my head (the edges only) so that my edges will lay flat, then I flip it back over and put a hair tie about in the middle and then put it in a shower cap, then in a bonnet and that's it! I didn't really like the way it turned out the first time, because my hair is in DESPERATE need of a trim, because I trust nobody, so it looked very uneven so I'll have to take my time and work a little slower and stretch it out more. I already have two products that I'm going to try out, but I left them in my locker at work, and I work RIGHT next door to a Walmart. The products I have already purchased is the Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask, which is something the twins recommended and I thought I'd give it a try, and the Twisted Sista 30 Second Curl Spray, just to give my curls a little wake up and defining. The twins used a spray as well, but it was Macadamia I believe. I already have a list of new products that I'm going to buy already. Two of them are from Shea Moisture, their Coconut & Hibiscus Curl and Style Milk, and for my bad dandruff and psoriasis the African Black Soap Deep Cleansing Shampoo. I also want to try some of the Organix products, mainly the things from the Macadamia Oil, Awapuhi Ginger, Moroccan Argan Oil, Coconut Milk, and Tea Tree Mint line. I also want to try, from Cantu their Natural Hair Cream, not to sure of the full proper name. Finally, for now at least I want to try a few things from the line Eden Body Works, this was the hair product line invented by a 15 year old girl I believe, and she was on Oprah because she made her own natural and organic hair care line at such a young age because of her experience with a bad relaxer. I want to try the Peppermint Tea Tree Shampoo, it caught my attention in the store because its clear. Lol. I know, I'm gullible! Also, the Peppermint Tea Tree Hair Oil, it was in a pretty "recycled" aluminum spray bottle! Cuteness. Finally from that line I want to try the Jojoba Monoi Hair Milk. I also want to try all natural Jojoba Oil, they were sold out at the Vitamin Shop I went to, to get the Coconut Oil, so I'll get it next time. Since I have the week off due to lack off hours and budget cuts at my job, my hair has basically been in a curly side bun, up do messy thing lately. We will see how this whole "Heat-Free" thing goes, hopefully I won't cave in, I don't think I will, I have lots of will power *stares at flatiron*! Are you guys gonna be doing any special summer challenges?

That's all I suppose. If you have any hair product suggestions or advice, please leave me some Comments=help me off the ledge, and pry the hot tools from my hands!

Too dramatic? Nahhhh. :)

Peace & Love
