Deep Conditioning & $$$

Hey guys so this week has been crazy for me! I was extremely busy working long hours and getting little sleep! I'm trying to save up for my rent that's due in January because I will not be working during that month, plus I have other things I need to do with my money! But todays post is going to be about my deep conditioning!! Ever since I got to school I noticed I have not been caring for my hair as much as I would like. So after watching some YouTube videos on deep conditioning and looking in my pocket books I decided to purchase two products to start better taking care of my hair!

 

 

 

Suave Coconut Conditioner: I purchased this product (even though its on the , more watery side and usually for deep conditioners you want something with a thicker consistency), because I have had experience using this product before in the past as a leave in conditioner and it left my hair feeling moisturized and soft. The price wasn't bad and it smells really good!

 

Extra Virgin Olive Oil(Great Value): I originally went into Wal-Mart looking for some extra virgin coconut oil , but all I saw was pure, refined coconut oil. I decided to go ahead and get this because I just needed an oil to seal in the moisture and I also like to add oil before I apply my conditioner. This I have to say definitely got the job done! I really like the way it made my hair feel in conjunction with the conditioner! The smell is okay, once I put on my conditioner, though I could barely smell the olive oil!

 

 

My Deep Conditioning Routine!

1. Started off with freshly co-washed hair ( I used Suave Almond and Shea Butter Conditioner)
2. Wrapped my hair in a towel and squeezed out excess water
3. Parted my hair in four sections and added a generous amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on each section from root to tip
4. After I applied the olive oil, I added in my Suave Coconut conditioner being careful NOT to apply it to my roots, and really concentrating on my ends
5. Then I reapplied my oil mostly concentrating on my ends and detangled and plaited my hair
6. Lastly I put on a shower cap and went to bed. The next morning I rinsed it all out and my hair was so soft and it felt very moisturized! 

**I will be doing this routine every Friday from now on. I definitely like the results!!**

 

Conditoner $2, Oil $2, The way my hair felt after Deep conditioning, PRICELESS!

Sweater Weather

Hello everyone, so here in Texas, I think it's safe to say its officially "sweater weather." It has become really chilly and it's time for me to bring out my 4 sweaters that I have in my closet.
I decided to show you guys some cool sweaters that I found, remember your sweaters don't always have to be boring and/or neutral colors. Have fun and show your personality!

DIY: Maxi Cardigan (no sew)

So I was thinking of buying a maxi cardigan online, but then I came up with an idea!!!

Instead of paying $30 for a maxi cardigan, I could just Do it myself!

So here's the idea in 2 easy steps!

1. Go to the thrift store and try to find a maxi dress with sleeves or find an old maxi dress with sleeves in your closet!
2. Then when you get home simply cut straight down the middle, and that's it!

I am going to try it later, when I have more funds , but if you want to go ahead and try it send me a picture so, I can see how yours turned out!( jessdoit412@gmail.com is my e-mail)

Nails, Roomspiration, Outfits

I tried to pant my nails, so I could have fresh nails for tomorrow, but of course it was a FAIL. And of course I smashed my fingers into my desk (accidently) and messed up not 1 hand but both hands!! (Don't ask me how, I'm still trying to figure that out).  I give up! But onto more exciting things!! I move in to my apartment tomorrow, well hopefully (they are still trying to find me a room). And even more exciting news, I will try to get my road dog(BFF) to take pictures of what I wore for the first 3 days of school :) and maybe even the weekend. We start on the 28th!

 

 

Here are some DIY ideas that I was thinking about doing for my room. What do you think?

 

The last picture is just what I would like my apartment to look like, but of course I only have one small room to work with, plus the living room, but I have to bounce ideas off of 3 others girls!
