Find the Right Hair Products for You.

This is an easy way to find hair products to get the hair you need. Follow this step-by-step guide and you'll never buy a bad hair product again!

 -Look it up. Look up reviews from a lot of different sources like youtube.com, hairlista.com, sallybeauty.com, amazon.com and reviews like that from actual people. Not from commericals.


-Only get what your hair needs. If you think your hair is dry then look for a good moisturizer or deep conditioner. Buy things because i need it- not because you want it. Otherwise you might turn into a product junkie.

-If its a good company- If you had good luck with that company before, you most likely will have good luck with that company again. Don't buy something from a company that gave you bad results before.

-Buy the full line of products- Most companies make their products to work together. If you use the full line of products then you most likely will have better results than just picking a few.

UGHH! I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR TO SCHOOL TODAY! :(

If you think your closet is boring and you feel like you're always wearing the same clothes over and over again then this is for you. Or if you're needing a new style for the first day of school, then this is also for you.


The easiest way to pick an outfit is to re-create one.
What to do:
google a style icon- (Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, ect.)
find pieces of clothes that are similar to what they were wearing.

Sweet Almond Oil

   Sweet Almond Oil is an amazing oil that I 'discovered' this week. I started putting it in my scalp when my braids were itchy and it moisturized my scalp and the itching stopped. Then I mixed one drop into my moisturizer everyday and night and noticed smoother skin within a few days. It is a great oil and I hope you pick some up soon.
   Some people may be reading and saying "I have oily skin so this wouldn't work for me". Actually, SAO works for all skin types. I have combination skin and it works just fine for me. As long as you rub it into your skin very well, then your skin won't be any oilier.


F a c t s :
-gets rid of under eye circles/wrinkles
-is good for facial moisturizing
-is good for chapped lips
-rich in Vitamin E
-reduce the number and delays the appearence of fine lines and wrinkles
-prevents acne
-will lighten dark spots
-heals sun burns
-not greasy
-no strong smell
-used to treat dry skin (although you can use it on any skin type)
-massage oil
-refirigerate after opening
-can stain clothing and sheets
-not for people with nut allgergies
