So i couldnt control my hair and i was looking horrible. This girl at work whose hair was worse than mine got a hair cut and her hair looked better so i had to do something except retouch!! I CO washed, DCed with kenra MC, detangled with D3 brush, mixed kiehls leave in and heat protectant spray together, applied, then i blow dried. Then i sprayed each section with silk elements heat protectant and flat ironed with my chi. I like the way it smelled and it was very light weight. I then wrapped it. im not a fan of wrapping so i wont do it again. I was able to get to the roots so i think ill look un-crazy for the next few days.

My mom actually made an appointment withthe hair stylist for a relaxer but i refuse to relax yet!! Come on im only 2 months and 1 week post. I can do it!! I have ordered some products that will help me make this easy (i hope) e.g mizani night time treatment and BT. I still need to get Qhemet’s sidr tree butter. i REFUSE to pay 10 bucks (shipping included) for a sample size. I found a sample size of the olive detangler and ive been using that to moisturise and i actually prefer it to elasta recovery. The smell of recovery was getting to me. So i might end up getting the sidr butter and olive detangler samples.

Hanae Mori butterfly and Valentino Rock n Rose On me, butterfly and kenzoamour smell sooo similar 
but the kenzo kinda got on my nerves. Ill alternate between my cashmere 
mist and butterfly for day time wear and rock n rose for night time. I got
 the rock n rose in the 3 oz size. Im so excited!

Oh look what i also got. This one is backordered tho… emoticon


Im trying to refrain from darker colors but this one has white which i think is springy enough



I want a white hand bag. i asked around and everyone likes this one:



Yellow convertible shorts to go with my yellow flats and white sandals




Miscellanous 8:33 am

Im talking about the platforms i posted below. Im trying to think of what to wear with em. Im thinking white, cream, off white dressy shorts. The colors i have in mind are A rich brown with red in it, something in the red or the pink family, black white grey, teal and blue handbag, top or bottoms.

I certainly cannot use cashmere mist for the rest of my freaking life. I love it and im glad it doesnt trigger my migraines BUT im sure there’s many more perfumes that dont and i just have to find em right…?!!

So yeah im lucky my dept is right across from the fragrance section. Went there, told them my problem and the lady suggested body lotions. I said i want perfumes not body lotions…k.thx..she then sprayed and gave me samples of Hanae Mori magical moon and butterfly. I fell in love with the magical moon immediately. 
It was dark, sexy and fun. I also tried kenzoamour and loved it! I got samples of all 3.

So today, i used the magical moon and HELL NO No headache but i ended up hating the smell. i went back to the counter and got a sample of Valetino Rock n Rose and OMG. I ended up using it for the rest of the day because the magical moon faded eventually. I will definitely get rock n rose and it will be my night fragrance because its kinda too strong for day (for me).

The next 2 days, i will try kenzoamour and butterfly and i will pick one for a daytime fragrance keeps fingers crossed

So, umm i no longer live within walking distance from the mall or any other stores :( I was hanging out with a friend when i saw these shoes on QVC and i fell in love!!



here’s the dealio. It was the black one i saw then i was trying to look around for them and i found the burgundy one for a lower price. I dont have any burgundy shoes so this is a start!

Also, Ive been looking for something to go with this skirt. I have tried on 2 pairs. One is a Nordstrom brand shoe. Its a good color match but im not too eager to get them because it has a bow. lol. I prefer this one and Ive been searching for the bone color EVERYWHERE!! Here’s the skirt:




And here’s the shoe:



The white is a close match but the bone would be PERFECT!!

Also, i discovered a few websites and here are some more lemmings:



This one is GORGEOUS and i think it would be perfect with the skirt i posted above. Either this color or black. I think i prefer the hsort sleeve though….



And…....OMG



I was so happy when i stumbled upon the website!

So we moved yesterday. The movers were great. They arrived at 8am on the dot and by 9am. they had finished loading the truck without breaking anything. We go to the house around 9.15 and by 9.45, They had finished unloading all the boxes into their respective rooms. I didnt have to carry anything :D

I had to go to work at 1 tho so i had enough time to get ready and stuff. My room looked kinda small by the time all my stuff was in there. Ive only unpacked my everyday stuff. I have 2 luggages full of clothes that i cant empty because my wardrobe is full so i need a chest of drawers. My shoes are still in the box and ill keep em there till im ready. There is an extra room but i like having all my stuff in one place.  I just need money to buy some freaking furniture is all!!


Also, guess who i have on my AIM friend’s list? Nicole R. how cool

So Ive discovered I cant fit my clothes into the wardrobe. Im still not sure where my shoes will be going but first I gotta work on the clothes. There is an extra room but I would rather keep them in my own room. Im looking at walmart, target, craigslist and Ikea. I dont plan on actually buying anything right now because im broke and it is not a priority. I will just do some shopping and looking around. There is also Value City, Big lots and D’arby furniture down the road from here. My mom got a full length mirror from there for 25 bucks so im going to go back and see if they have another one. In the
 meantime, I will use her own mirror.

Also, I need some sort of shelf to put my makeup. I dont want to buy another makeup case cos I have 2 big ones. I will keep one in the bathroom. I have a bed already so i dont need that. I just need a dresser/chest of drawers, bedside table, vanity and shelf for my shoes. For now, my shoes are in 2 Huge boxes while the rest of the clothes are in 1 trash bag and 2 big suitcases. I threw some out yesterday but thats it.

Here is an idea i got from someone. She made her own Vanity table so i might have to do this. Maybe get a table, chair and mirror from Value City and settle with that for now. It allll depends on the cheapest one! Im also
 going to see if one of my friends can make me some of this stuff. 

Here’s her improvised vanity:

Im so damn happy. Now i can watch the show.

Miscellanous 5:30 pm

So im off 5 days out of 7. This is because my boss, forgot that i go to school on wednesdays and mondays so i couldnt go in on monday on wednesday cos he put me on the schedule. We went to a training class on tuesday and because 2 people called out, they asked me to work from 1 to 3. Im very glad i agreed because i sold to like 1 person before this lady came in looking to buy flats cos she had blood clots in her feet. She picked 10 pairs of shoes and i was able to get only 3 pairs in stock so i had to order the remaining 7. She couldnt wait so she just gave me her card info and she totally made my day.

I spent 2 hours working on her orders and it was worth it. I sold like 1 more pair before i went home. I was soooo happy!!

I hope i do good on friday and saturday cos im off on sunday :(

Im so not packing. I just put my good clothes in a box, and the rest i threw in trash bags. I have like 5 trash bags full of clothes right now. Im going to the house later today to take them there and hang em.

I miss my NARS lovejoy blush so bad. I swapped it a few months ago and i want it back It was great as both a bronzer and a blush. Im getting tired of my MAC bronzer. I cant find my MAC sac blush so i have to buy a new one :(

Miscellanous 5:21 pm

Last time, i strecthed for 17 weeks. Can i do this again?

Ok, im a month and 3 weeks post relaxer and my new growth is terrible. I dont even comb my hair except when i wash and i have to CO was everyday now. Thats not a problem tho. I had to dig out some of my old faithfuls like Paul Mitchell "the detangler" and Capilo sole and cinnamon. For pre pooing, i mix the cinnamon, alter ego and amla oil and for deep conditioning, i mix kenra MC, a tiny bit of silicon mix (not more because i cant stand the smell) and the detangler. Today, i mixed with nexxus emergencee.

For leave in conditioners, i used kenra MC to saturate my hair then i topped with Kiehl’s leave in and saturated my hair with castor oil. Im not using elasta QP recovery because its not doing shit. I need a creamy leave in so im going to start doing research. Mango butter is out of the question.

I hope i can make it to 3 months post before i break down and relax. This is effing hard and its annoying cos with all the trouble im going through, i wont even see a noticeable difference in the growth. blah

I might have to break down and get that oil mixture that chick sells…Im slacking on my surging :(

We got these shoes in last week and i was totally turned off until a co-worker tried them on. I tried them on too and they were gorgeous. I could totally rock these with bermuda shorts, jean shorts, skirts, even dresses!!  


I was browsing Brass Plum clothing and i saw this dress and it looks similar to the one i got from Macys for 58 bucks. I was going to get the red and return the other one to Macys till i saw it in this color.




Then i saw this dress that i got at marshall’s for 29.99. Thank God for places like that. I always make sure i shop around at discount stores before buying anything here.



Here I am in mine. I even wore it yesterday and slept in it emoticon


with these shoes. i have on a stupid face so i cut it off. blech


These shoes are the most comfortable shoes ever and surprisingly, they’re by Jessica Simpson. Well, im sure she doesnt design them. BCBG does.

I love these shorts




This handbag might have to replace my other yellow bag. This one is bigger and more yellow. It is patent leather and will be easy to clean.


I love these flats. Im not sure if i want the lime green or pink. Im not even sure if ill get it



And i LOVE these juicy ones




I prefer the silver ones because of the contrast of the gold with the silver leather and you can go with either silver, white or yellow gold accessories.

SO i used my pink chi for the 1st time yesterday. I washed and conditioned normally, applied chi silk infusion, blow dried with a round brush to straighten the roots a little and then i seprated into 3 sections, sprayed fantasia IC on each section and flat ironed. My hair was swinging and stuff. It felt great to wear my hair down for 1 day. In back in a ponytail now :( i cant risk getting it snagged and beat with the cold weather.

Happy easter Why in the world did people come in looking to buy easter shoes and clothes. wtf? Anyhoo, these purchases are NOT for easter. I got some more dress shirts (love ‘em) and this sexy, black pencil skirt. Im going to take pics and post on the boards to ask for suggestions. I also got like a tote bag
 for school. Its time to let go of the book bag. I also got these :D





im not sure if i should keep them though.
I also went to the prescriptives counter in Parisians and got a custom blend foundation. I got Bobbi brown ones yesterday and they were too red and i just gave up and returned em. The PX ones were 62 bucks for like 2oz. I think its worth it


I ordered some samples of mama lotion last week and ive been using it every other day with juice beauty blemish clearing serum.

Well, so school started back on mondayont work on days i have school which is good. I dropped this stupid online class cos you have to tape yourself while giving a speech to co-workers or friends or sth stupid like that. Then i signed up for the in-class one and i think they changed it to tuesday/thursday. WTF?

So anyhoo, ive been doing some online shopping. No clothes :( Just basic beauty stuff. I ordered ALL the Essence of beauty brushes on CVS.com to get free shipping and 10 bucks off emoticon. I was going to get one of MAC’s foundation brushes and it was 45 bucks so i said hell no and got the EOB ones instead. I also got amla oil, Aztec healing clay and some fucking textbooks for more than i wanted too :(
