July update + August posts

Miss me miss me now you have to kiss me!
    
     Hey guys so today I am just doing a simple update post on the things that have been going on in July.

School: The second summer session is so far so good and it will be over in T minus 2 days, and then I will have a whole month to myself, before fall classes begin!

Work: Boy oh boy, I don't think I have mentioned to you guys that I am a correctional officer at a prison, but that alone is stressful and a little dangerous. Besides my job duties we work 6 days on and 3 days off, and when I get home, all I want to do is pass out! I am enjoying my job though, it just drains all of the energy from my body

Money: NEXT!

Life: Just know that I am in a boys stuck stage, and I think I might be asexual (Lol jk). Moving on though I have actually been inspired by Draya Michelle of basketball wives (wait I know what your thinking), she actually came up with a brilliant idea of networking with other business women, by having a little get together/ mixer. I though this was smart because you can meet other business minded women and share your secrets and she even said she got  a variety of businesses not just hair and clothing boutiques. Even though I do not own a business right now I do want to in the future and I think this was a good way to network!

So that is all of the updates for now. And stay tuned for August because I will be posting a lot more than once a month!

Love all of my 10 followers, lol BESOS!

June Update!

Hello beautiful people! Todays post will just be an update of my life. Some things have happened since I last posted and I just wanted to share them with you.

New Job: So I got a job as a correctional officer, and so far I like it! It's a little scary dealing with convicts but i'm slowly but surely learning how to deal with them. If you guys want an in depth post about my job or a short series just tell me in the comments below!

Shop til ya drop: So after receiving my first check from my new job, I went a little cray and did some shopping I will show you guys a haul in the near future of everything I bought!!

Citation: This past Friday, I got my first ticket for my registration being out of date, and lemme tell ya, the cop was an asshole! I cried and was upset at first but then I womaned (I don't think this is a word) up and realized even though he was rude as hell he was doing his job and I was wrong. I'm still mad though, lol.

New Hair: So recently I have been wanting to go shorter with my hair, and or dye it red. I just recently dyed it black but as we all know I get tired of my hair real quick and want to do something different. I was thinking about cutting my hair into a bob but decided against it and just getting a weave, I will post pictures of what I decide to do!

School: I don't even want to talk about it

Room Renovations: My clothing Rack!

Hello everybody! So sorry once again for my absence, but today I am so excited for this post! Yesterday I went into Wal-Mart to get a clothing rack for my room, I spent about $10 and found THE PERFECT one. I love the height, stability, and the color ( although I might paint it a soft pink later on.) I have been trying to renovate my room, which explains the title. I am doing a series of room renovations of major and minor things I will be doing to jazz up my room, and this is the first in the series! Below is a virtual tour and some still pictures I hope you guys enjoy and get inspired!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My quick go to Summer Hair Style! (No heat)

I call this "BUNZ"

 

Things needed to create this hairstyle:

 

* Brush (toothbrush optional)- Make bun smooth/ lay down edges

* Moisturizer- so hair will be moisturized throughout the day

* Hair Tie x2

* Bobby pins- Secure the bun/ Random hair

*Gel- Slick down edges/ baby hair

* Bandana/ Scarf (optional)- Lay down edges further

Step 1: Smooth hair into a ponytail on top of your head. (Moisturizer, Brush, Gel, Hair tie)

 

 

Step 2: "The Coolio" Take 1-2inch sections and either plait(braid) or twist hair. ( I do about 3-4 braids or twists)

 

 

Step 3: Just simply wrap your twists around eachother and bobby pin or tie with a hair tie. This will leave you with a nice twisted/ braided bun. You can also lay down your baby hair!

 

Tips and Tricks:

•  I like to do 3-4 plaits because my hair is not extremely long, and it adds more volume
• If you want more height layer the braids/twists on top of eachother and pin
• This is a great protective style and it lasts ALL day, I NEVER have to check my hair :)
• Great pool style!
• Excuse my poses :)

 

April Faves: Best Month EVER

April is always the best month out of the whole year... Why? Because it's my birfffdayyy month, this year I turned 21, and turnt up a little bit, but anyways here are all of the things I have been LOVING for April!

Is the picture a little crooked, or nah? (excuse the carpet)

 

Overall short set: YASSSSS my absolute favorite piece I have bought this month! Do you guys want a lookbook with overalls? (Rue 21 $30 , I know a little pricey for me, but they were kind of a birthday gift to myself)

 

New York Jersey: This easy breezy shirt was so easy to pair with a lot of different things in my closet and I wore the heck out of this piece this month. BTW: I loved wearing it with silver jewelry instead of gold :) ($10-15 Random store in California)

 

Faux Floral Vans/Keds: I got these shoes for $16 from Rue 21! I originally wanted to get some floral vans but decided to go with these instead because they were friendly to my budget. I have to say I am in love and they were easy to style!

 

Fabulous Tan Bag: This along with my black Steve Madden bag (not pictured) were my birthday gifts from my friends. I had kind of been hinting that I wanted a bag for my birthday and these were perfection! I Love big bags. (No idea of the price they were gifts!)

 

Smell Good Air Freshener: You know when you do number 2 and that stuff you spray right after, well I have found a magical scent that smells amazing. BUT WAIT, the best part is that it was only 1$ from the Dollar Tree. YOUR WELCOME. (The name is Air Freshener scent is Waterfall Breeze brand is the Home Store. Its in a bluish greenish can)

 

Candle: Now I am in no way shape or form a candle person, but I had to pick this candle from the DOLLAR STORE, which means it was a dollar, and the smell is just everything. I love vanilla and I think that its comparable to Bath and Body works Vanilla Sugar, maybe better? ( The name is luminescence vanilla scented jar candle!) The only downside is the wick goes fast!

 

Elf Eyebrow Kit in Dark (educated guess): I have been filling in my eyebrows since freshmen year of college and this product hurrr is just great I like to use a darker pencil to outline then fill in with this and it works like a charm! (Ross $5 it came in a set)
