Simple Hairstyles

Hello Lovely Ladies,  At this point, you can literally be mad at me for being MIA. LOL. I'm so sorry!!! At any rate, I have been in the state of Florida for a few months now & the weather change is a little interesting. I could compare it to South Carolina, but I believe every state has it's own personality. Since my wonderful older sister lives in FL, I've been to her at-home-salon-for-Dayse to get my hair done. hahaha She's definitely a hair person, so I do take advantage of it. She loves it! bahahaha. If you've seen me in person, then you definitely now how much I have loved cornrows on one side of my head. I just LOVE this look. I don't have to do anything too crazy, but it's so edgy. My sister always says, "AGAIN?!" every time I ask her for them. I've worn it both ways - with and without curls.  Another hairstyle that I think it so adorable in general is the half up-do bow. It is so romantic and feminine. I wore this ...

Coconut Oil?!

Hi Friends! Hope everyone is doing good this beautiful Spring...almost Summer! yay! So, I have been reading a lot about coconut oil and I found out that it has so many uses and benefits. I know we don't usually don't talk about this type of subject on our blog but if it's going to be beneficial to you and your loved ones...why not, right?!   (These particular bottles you can find on the Walgreen's website).  Let me tell you a little bit of how this came about...one of my co-workers started taking coconut oil because she had started feeling a little off and it turns out it was her thyroid. Since she started taking this (2 tablespoons a day), she has been feeling so much better. I'm going to share the uses & benefits of coconut oil with you...here we go! - natural deodorant  (click on this link and you'll find more info) -lightens age spots -supports healthy thyroid function -topically kills yeast infections -helps boost metabolism ...

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!) approxi...

Apple, Pear, Hour Glass???

Hello wonderful readers! You girls & guys are truly the highlight of my days. :) This post will be mainly for women, but I believe it's important for males to know HOW to shop for their ladies not just WHAT to shop for. Today I want to focus on figuring out your body type, so that you or your very lucky man will know what to look for when you go shopping. I've actually had this topic on the back burner for a few weeks now. I had a friend text me and ask me about the best dress to wear for her birthday. So, my sister and I got into a long discussion about body types! lol. BUT, that's when I realized...I didn't really know my own body shape. It's fairly easy for me to see what will or will not work for different bodies, except my own. LOL. So, I asked my younger brother to look at a picture that showed all body types and asked him to tell me how my body looked to him. Secretly, we all wish we looked like an hour glass hehehehe...but he said a PEAR. lol. How ...

"Curly" Straws beautify! :)

Happy Thursday loves, I'm really exhausted today, but I thought one thing would cheer me up...BLOGGING! :) So thanks to the fabulous Divas in my life who research just as much as I do about fashion, here is another trick for your hair. Curls! These are really tight curls, but there are many other tutorials to show you how to loosen them. You will need the following items to accomplish this look: STRAWS, Bobby pins ,  & maybe some hairspray. Yes, you read correctly...Straws! (^.^) No curling iron, no flat iron, no heat...all natural. hehehehe. My older sister actually used this trick on her daughters hair, which is long a beautiful, and it was adorable! Cheap way to make curls...I think it's a WINNER! They really do come out beautiful. Personally, I haven't tried it yet...probably because I'll need a WHOLE BUNCH of straws for my hair, but I think it's worth trying. I'll let you know how mine turn out & feel free to let us know your results ...

Engagement!

*wedding bells ringing* and here comes the bride!!! :) Hello my wonderful readers! It has been a very very long time since I have posted anything on my behalf! No worries, I'm back from Puerto Rico! It was so much fun! I had a wonderful time getting to know all of the people on the beautiful island, as well as looking at all the creative outfits the girls were rockin'. Puerto Rico is definitely a place to visit for vacation. ;) Anyway, something really exciting happened while I was there...one of my girls got ENGAGED to a very lucky man! ;) Luckily, I was able to have the honor to do a hair and heel makeover. It was hot but so worth it. LOL. I started out with the hair...She had NEVER curled her hair before in her WHOLE life! O.o (yeah, that was my look too when I found out. hehehehe) On top of that, she never really accessorized her hair much either. So...ladies, I always believe you should try different styles even if it feels funny. It's all about exploring and...

Happy Fourth of July! :)

Happy Fourth of July lovely readers! I am excited to be in Charleston right now with Lucas and Betsey Johnson! It has been an eventful day! Unfortunately, fireworks have been canceled for tonight due to our RAINY weather. ugh! At any rate, I met a few people, spent the day with a close friend, and enjoyed my favorite "college" place in Charleston as well as topping it off with yummy frozen yogurt (although, it was sooooo hot that it melted WAY to quickly). LOL. So we were on our way to the bowling alley, when I discovered some babies in my friend's car. They were non-prescription glasses! I was confused at first, because I could never remember if he wore glasses before, when I asked he informed me they were for fashion purposes only. OH, excuse me! lol. So I tried them on, and I declared them as my own. lol. They are mine. He just doesn't know it yet. hahaha & of course, I had to top it off with the red, white, and blue for the Fourth of July. I hope...

No Purchase Necessary! ;)

Hello loves! I know we haven't posted in a few days, but no worries we're back! :) Well, I'm getting ready to head out to Puerto Rico, where I will definitely be paying close attention to heels and other stores that might be of our interest, but I'm also getting ready to attend many events. So, I decided to keep looking for simple yet adorable hairstyles. There are many tutorial videos on YouTube, but I came across this website that really explains in detail how to make simple hairstyles. I fell in love with them, and it will always take some practice to get them to look perfect. LOL. However, I hope you all enjoy this website as much as I did. There are tons of pictures for every step and instructions on the bottom, just in case you're more of a reader than a visual learner. ;) (not my case at all hahahaha) & guess what? IT'S TOTALLY FREE! :) Not much of a better deal than that! Feel free to explore the site! :) <3 Have a blessed day! Love, D ...

Hairstyles!

To all of our beautiful readers, Happy Thursday! I can't want until Friday! Upon request, I wanted to talk about hair. Ok, if you're pentecostal/apostolic you probably have really long hair. However, I do realize that is not the case for all pentecostal/apostolic females. Most of the hairstyles I will post might have long hair in them, but I'm sure it could be done on short/medium length hair and look just as gorgeous! :) Personally, I have long hair thick hair, so it takes awhile for me to straighten, curl, or do anything to my hair, but I've found other ways to improvise. LOL. I was watching YouTube videos on long hairstyles, and I found this one that I really liked. I am not sure how well it would come out on me, but I'm willing to try! ;) YouTube is a great way to find many hairstyles for long hair and how to make them. Often, I see a picture of a beautiful hairstyle with no instructions, then I'm super bummed. lol. This style would be great for a sp...
