MIAU: No Lashes Or Wrong Mascara?

Hello Everyone,

I was applying my makeup this morning and had to face the fact that i have no eye lashes. Now I have always know this but i guess now that i wear makeup its a bit bothersome at times. So i started to think "maybe its no my eyelashes, but maybe the mascara i use". So i did what any girl on a mission would do, I went straight to YouTube [lmbo]. And i took no time at all to find a solution to my problem and here's the video:

Now i know that with my short lashes i need a formula that is thick to make them stand out and not sag down. Right now I am using the E.l.f. Essential Lengthening & Defining Mascara which is a fair mascara for the price but now I think Im ready for something with a bit more wow factor. So my next mission is to find a thick wax consistency kind of mascara if you have any suggestions please let me know. 

Heads Up

Hello Everyone,

I know I have been a little MIA but trust me its all for you and i will be back as soon as I can and when i do youll be happy. So just stick it there.

Hair Talk: The Braids Are Gone, But Not For Long!

sorry for the face this is 12 something @ night

Hello Everyone,


As you see I took my box braids down I did this about 1 1/2 weeks ago. Now when I had then in I was so excited to take them out so I can have my coils back but when I took them down and saw the madness that is my hair I couldn't wait to put the braids back in. But I knew this would be a chance for my hair to breath and take a load off. After the hard part was over I washed my hair with Garnier Fructis Smooth and Sleek Shampoo and then I did the Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment. Then I DC with my homemade mixture for about 1 hour, applied Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Restorative Conditioning Milk as a leave-in sealed the moisture with castor oil, then did a two strand twist with Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Deep Treatment Masque. The only problem I had was with detangling, I used a new comb/brush (review coming up) and I saw alot of shedding/breakage that really scared me so yes i stopped using that brush/comb asap and went back to my wide tooth lover. Now this could have been a result of not detangling for over a month and having the braids in but still I was scared. Aside from the scary stuff I had growth that made me grin from ear to ear [lol]. But with the breakage and the growth i still  didnt want to expose my hair to the elements just yet so I threw a homemade wig on for church until the heat hit me and that wig came right off [lol] But yes i will be putting the braids back in for the rest of the summer while I finish up some summer classes and what not so I don't have to do my hair and try to keep up with the fast pace of summer classes.   

Don't mind the make up I was trying something new

Hair Talk: Is Going Natural A Trend?

Hello Everyone,

So I know this is not a new topic but it is something i want to speak on. I have read on blogs and watched videos of people saying that "Going Natural" is no longer a thing women do to get back to their roots or feel free, but we women do it now because it is "the thing to do". I for one do not see a problem if women do it because its a "trend" or if they just want to be free; what does it matter. This is a trend that is sweeping the world from models to singers to actresses natural hair is showing up everywhere and if a young girl sees that and says she loves her hair the way it is why should we complain. Going natural brings out a confidence in women that they themselves may not have had. Natural hair is different enough but short natural hair takes a lot of confidence to pull off especially when most of us live in a community where natural hair is rare. Our Afrocentric hair makes us different why would you not want to be apart of something that makes who us black women who we are. 

Ugh i feel as if I'm rambling......bottom line if your going natural for you or because you admire someone else its all good do what makes you happy and if you need any advice id be more then happy to help any way i can.
