Pre-Lent Haul

Something tells me you're gonna be seeing a lot more of me on this site especially since I've given up Twitter for Lent.  I know what's the big deal giving up Twitter right?  Even though I don't tweet all the time, I have to get my daily dose of Twitter so I'm making the decision to give it up entirely for 40 days!  I've also decided to give up buying anything beauty and hair related.  Especially since it was starting to become a problem.  I need to keep that money in my account since these wedding expenses are NOT cheap.

Now that I'm on a Lenten time out, I wanna share some of the last things I picked up.  

 

I picked up the two Nothing But products from my local BSS since I was interested in SofnFree's new all natural line.  I use their their milk protein and olive oil products religiously so I wanna see what these are like.

Then I went to Walgreens and got lured in by some yellow tags and picked up the nude Wet N Wild & yellow Sally Hansen.  And as I started to walk to the register there it was.  Now I'll  let you know I'm not big on lip color but when I saw that coral lip gloss (sorry it doesn't come across in the pictures, I'll take better ones when I have it on)  I had to have it.  And since all Revlon products were buy 1 get 1 50% off, I picked up the Bordeaux gloss just for fun.

I've already used two of them today, the nude/blush nail polish & the Nothing But Curl Sealer.  While I won't know how I feel about my hair until tomm, I am in love with the nail color.  So much so that I'm pretty sure that it's gonna be THE color for my wedding day.

So that is all I can buy until after Easter.

Oh I do have a Birchbox & a Curlbox that will be coming some time during the 40 days but I ordered those way before.  

Til next time.

Stuck on Repeat

This song and Rihanna's "Birthday Cake (remix)" have been on repeat in my car as of late.  Finally got the visuals for this now just to wait on the "Cake" video because I'm sure that's coming since Rihanna loves her some controversy.

It's be nice if I mentioned the artist and song title right?

  "Another Lovr" from Teedra Moses & (boo in my head) Wale.

Hair Hell

As I mentioned before I've spent this past week visiting my fiancé in Charlotte (my soon to be new home.)  My hair was twisted from Monday of last week until Thursday (the day I flew out.) My plan was to keep the twists I had in until that weekend but by Thursday I just wanted my hair out.  So I had an amazing twist out that I wore from then til Superbowl Sunday.  But then Monday came and I knew I had to wash my hair.  Since I've been visiting Charlotte (2 yrs) I've had maybe 3 successful hair days.  It's not the weather but something about the blazing heat that he leaves on in the house and the lack of products I have over here makes it hard to have a good hair day.  My hair had been twisted from Monday til yesterday and the twist out I attempted to do was an utter #FAIL. Which brings me today... Right now I decided to do braids on dry hair then rub some smooth on some KCKT (Kinky Curly Knot Today) and baggy them for a lil bit.  Hopefully it'll turn my mess into something great for date nite tomm and the get together we're hosting on Saturday.

All I know is I gotta figure out how to turn these bad hair days around quick because I'll be living down here before I know it.
