So I decided to start wearing my hair curly again. I have been researching product and 'how to's' on bringing back my curls for awhile before I just decided to go for it. The top (cheapest) dryer based on reviews was a Revlon one I found at Walgreens for about $25. I know I like to review things but in this situation I can not because I have a problem. I quickly learned I was diffuserliterate. I have no idea what I am doing with that thing. I've watched youtube videos, read web sites but every time I use it I am a frizzy mess so much so I have to hop back in the shower to fix it. If I figure out how to use it I'll let you know how it goes plus I will keep you posted on the different curly hair products that I try along the way :)
Sadly I wanted to love this eyeliner, it is cheap and seems like it would last for a long time but every time I use it I look rather raccoony :( I give this eyeliner a major F for FAIL!
Recently I started the Body by Vi 90 day challenge. I have at least 30 pounds I'd like to lose to feel comfortable in my own skin again. I've been on the program for 3 weeks, I wanted to try it first before I blogged about it and before I promoted it for sure. I started with the least expensive kit which was still $50 but when you think about replacing breakfast and lunch it technically is saving you money. My $50 bag actually lasted me almost 3 weeks but when I started running low I ordered another bag because I'm truly loving it! I've lost about 3 pounds, slow, steady and healthy most importantly. See the video link below for nutrition information. The vi shake mix is also a fat burner so you are likely to lose inches even more so than pounds. I bought a cheap personal blender from Walmart that I tote back and forth to work. For breakfast I throw my shake mix in with my coffee, creamer and ice to have an iced mocha. For lunch I do a more hearty shake like shake milk, vanilla almond milk, cocoa, peanut butter, banana and strawberry which is my favorite. I snack healthily when I'm hungry throughout the day and eat a normal dinner with my family. Oddly I find myself craving the shakes! Anyway check it out, the awesome thing is if you find 3 friends to do it with you then your months shake stuff is free (for the life of how long you have 3 people signed up)! Everyone loves free and everyone needs motivation buddies! I would love to have you on my team! Check out the link and I promise to post my before and afters at the end of the challenge: http://smalltowncutie82.bodybyvi.com/
My awesome dad and step mom got me some mad beauty products to blog about for Christmas. One of my faves were these Posh makeup brushes. They are reasonably priced (about $11 for the set you see here) and they are decent. Knowing what each brush does is key to get the most bang for your buck so to speak. Check out Boots.com Guide to Makeup Brushes. And also the video by TalkinMakeUp about eyeshadow brushes:
Directions: Add all ingredients into a small bowl and stir. (I make it right in a measuring cup and it makes it easier to pour into my bottle) Shake before every use. Cost: Less than 0.50 cents
