Magic Wand

Hello lovely people,

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday! :) I wanted to dedicate this post to all of the ladies who want to obtain beautifully curled hair with a wand...I call this the MAGIC WAND! It really does miracles. lol.

Here are a few examples of the how the curls turn out with the wand:

 My beautiful sister with freshly made curls.

If you have been a regular reader, you'll remember the lovely bride-to-be Neyla. (also freshly made curls)

& last but not least yours truly...I curled my hair the day before and this is how they came out the next day. (My hair has never stayed curled more than 2 hours!) 





So how did we achieve such tight curls???? No worries, I'm here to help! ;) These are the supplies you will need (or some sort of generic version of them):

1. The Conair Wand (I purchased this for like $19 at Walmart, but I think they are now about $32.)

2. Dove Hairspray (which smells AMAZING!) approximately = $4

 3. TresemmĆ© Heat Protectant Spray (also wonderful smell) $3
 4. Dove Argan Oil Hair Therapy Spray (Very light beautiful fragrance) $2
Steps below:

1. Part your hair into sections (which makes it easier to curl). I tend to start at the very back bottom part of my head and move up towards the crown.

2. Spray Hair with Tresemme Heat Protectant Spray & comb through all of your hair.

3. Lightly Spray the Dove Argan Oil Hair Therapy Spray & comb through all of your hair.

4. Take the section you will begin to curl and VERY LIGHTLY spray the Dove Hairspray on it. Depending on the size of your parts it may take one to two pumps.

5. Let it sit and dry for about a minute. (This will give you time to turn on your wand, which take about 10 seconds to heat).

6. Now take your wand and make some magic happen. I find it easier when I hold the smallest part of the want downwards when wrapping my hair around it. For really LONG hair, you'll probably have to do one half of your hair & then the lower part of your hair.

7. For thick hair leave wand in for 10 seconds but NO more than 25 seconds! If it doesn't curl at like 10 seconds you might want to curl smaller amounts of hair. For thin hair, 7 seconds will hold a good curl.

8. Once curls have cooled down, spray them again with Dove Hairspray &...TADAAAA, you're done!!! :)

***It takes me like 30-45 minutes to do my hair, and if you know my hair...then you know it's THICK & LONG!!! LOL


Here's a tutorial video below just in case! ;)



Alright ladies, I hope this helps! Btw, you can do steps 1-3 before straitening you hair & it will be very smooth and shiny! ALWAYS USE HEAT PROTECTANT SPRAY!

Go...Go...GO & LOOK FABULOUS! ;) Have a blessed day!

Love,
D

Thanksgiving: CHECK ...now, Christmas!

Hello my dear readers, I'm so sorry I've been so ghost on all of you! Huge thanks to D2 for keeping you guys updated. :D I have been crazy trying to travel for Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping for a family that my job adopted, and trying to continue planning my upcoming trip to NY...last but not least work. :/ hehehe. At any rate, I know everyone is getting ready to spend quality time with their families over the holidays as well as giving wonderful gifts from the heart. I'm more of a giver than a receiver. I love to think my heart was constructed under the blue print of the heart of Jesus...always giving out of love. I am not saying Christmas should be about gifts, but it's always nice when I can make someone else smile. Definitely take this time to appreciate your loved ones and spend the time that you've missed with them throughout the year. ...AND if you have some EXTRA time on your hands, feel free to reach out to those in real need. We are too blessed ...

Fast Forward to July 2018...

Hello ladies, Has it really been two years since I've blogged??? I really dropped the ball this time. In my defense, I was off social media for one of those years. You know... the whole "social-media cleanse." Which by the way would have been a total success if I hadn't become a youth leader and needed to promote events. LOL. All for the greater good tho. Wow, I don't even know where to start, so I'll start with I'M SORRY and I've missed blogging! So much has happened since my move to the Sunshine State. Here's a quick overview: 1. I was jobless for two months. 2. By God's grace, I landed a job in Flood Insurance. 3. Found a church home, became a member, and a youth leader and Sunday School teacher(obviously not right away) 5. Found the greatest and most loving church family...I wouldn't replace them for the world 4. Quit my job in Flood Insurance (long story), and started working at an Elementary School as an ESOL Paraprofess...

Bow Ties vs Ties

Hello to all of my amazing gentlemen!! As promised, I am making this post for you guys. ;) Based on our feedback, the topic for today was requested by our male readers! Thank you guys for being so faithful to our blog and showing your interest for more fashion tips.  Someone mentioned that I tend to use pictures of "model" males and females, and it felt unrealistic. So...I had a few guys who were willing to be our "real" life models. They come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and ethnic backgrounds. ;) Special shout out to each of them.  Ok... BOW TIES VS. TIES . What's the difference??????? When should you wear one???? How do you wear either one of them???? No worries gentlemen! We're here to help. ;)  Beside the obvious reason of difference in style, the Bow Tie has a long reputation of being classy, authoritative, and extremely formal. They have also been very popular for the southern preppy style. For example, bow ties are highly reco...
