Fashion + Beauty

On a recent trip to Las Vegas, I visited a Sephora store.  I knew from the moment I walked in that I probably should have left my credit card at home.  I get really excited when I see makeup, brushes, concealer oh my!  My goal was simple…buy lashes.  I literally walked in and silently sighed to myself when I saw the Huda Beauty area.  This palette caught my attention, obviously for the packaging.  I mean yassss…look at those brows! 😍 The colors are so warm and beautiful!  You can see by looking at the palettes how well each color can blend with each other.  I immediately started swatching my arm in…

Today is the first of the month and I woke up today excited for change.  I just wanted to do something different.  I have been thinking about going natural for quite some time, I’ve just always been scared to do it.  Today seemed like the perfect day to get it done.  I didn’t take a pic that I want to share of the before chopping because I had some terribly damaged hair.  Maybe one day I’ll feel confident enough to post it.  But this pic is after the cut & after the wash & style.   So today I walked in my bathroom, grabbed my scissors and started cutting.  I…

I was reading an article this morning about going natural (See Hairs The Thing).  It got me wondering I should put this box of perm sitting on my desk under my bathroom sink and try managing my own hair for a while.  Then I remembered I have an order of 2 really pretty half wigs scheduled to be delivered today.  🙂 But seriously, I think it’s something I might consider.  My mother has been natural over 10 years and now has beautiful dreadlocks down to her butt.  My 19 year old sister just went natural about 2 months ago and her hair is very curly.  Her hair style looks like…

I’ve dyed my hair at least 4 times in the last month and a half.  I know, I know, I’m really  asking to go bald.  At this point, I almost wouldn’t mind if all my hair fell out so I could start over.  Originally I was trying to go blonde-ish to match a half wig I had just purchased. So I took a trip to Sally’s but the sales women talked me into the wrong damn color and my hair ended up being brown & red.  So I waited a week and went to Rite-Aid and got Strawberry Blonde.  Only this made my hair reddish orange.  Everyone liked it but…

Decided to try something new this weekend.  So how do you like it? Most people know that I usually wear half wigs or full wigs.  It’s not that I’m bald LOL I assure you I do have hair.  It’s just very hard to manage.  As I grew old my hair grew thicker.  The only style that my hair can handle is a wet look.  Which is adorable on me but only for the summer.  I use to get braids in the winter or sew in weaves but my hair started to break off the last 3 years.  I’m afraid to get braids again because my edges thin out.  And I…
