My Mother is a Cancer Surviver so My Team has been doing this for about 6 yrs already. We walked 5 miles with a strong team & are looking forward for the next years. Anyone is Welcome to join our Team &/or Purchase these shirts.

New Bag

2010-11-21T10:27:00.000-08:00

(excuse the poor quality picture, I was trying to take a picture of the name but the flash =/ )

This Chain Bag is from www.charlesdavid.com . They also had one in black & I got it on final sale. Its a bit heavy due to the chain, but it is one of my fav. bags for the Winter.

Hats, Hats & More Hats !

2010-11-21T10:18:00.000-08:00

A hat is a head covering. It may be worn for protection against the elements, for ceremonial or religious reasons, for safety, or as a Fashion Accessory. From a baseball cap to a cowboy hat, hat is something everyone has in their closet. This winter dress it up, add pins, go bold & make a statement.

August Products Review

2010-09-04T12:26:00.000-07:00

So due to the Heat, I've just been wetting my hair & just going about my day. I usually use these two products to maintain the soft texture & my curls in place throughout the day. They're both from Garnier Fructis (one of my fav. hair brands) The first one is a Leave-In Conditioning Cream, which I apply right after I wash & condition my hair (&combed). I apply it through each section of my hair, running my fingers to separate the curls & eliminating frizz. Next I usually use any Garnier Frutis Mousse, but this one is the XXL Volume thickening Mousse. This provides volume to your hair & holds everything in place. I also apply this all over my hair.

I usually let my hair dry naturally, but if I'm going out I like to diffuse it.

This is another product that I enjoyed using this Summer which is the ''3 Minute miracle'' by Aussie. It is a Smoothing Treatment, that actually smoothes your hair in a short amount of time. I like using this when my hair is dry & I don't feel like washing it. It creates a certain ''beachy waves look'' on my hair. But if my hair is wet it is also like a leave in conditioner which creates really soft curls & leaves it very volumous (since I have naturally curly hair).

My younger Cousin actually introduced me to this body mist. This one is the ''Cucumber & Tea Scent'' from the Go Fresh Body Collection. I like the light scent is not to overwhelming. It's perfect for those last days of Summer. It also has a hint of moisturizer for the skin & last for while.

Last but not least, this is ''Boat House'' By Essie. It is a warm coral, cream color.

Nail Polish Fail

2010-09-04T11:32:00.000-07:00

So I bought this Nail Polish back in December. I haven't really used it much but it I just realized that it is exactly what I didn't want. The texture of the nail polish felt like pure paint. I hated the way it look just because I felt like I was applying white-out to my nails. It took me 3 coats to actually get it right. Actually right isn't the word because it became a total fail. *please excuse the blurry picture

But I do expect better from OPI

Btw it is called ''Alpine Snow''-Matte from OPI

**Review Update**
The Body Butter's leaves my skin very moisturized, that I don't have to re-apply throughout the day.
I don't like the lip butter, it actually leave my skin very dry, does not last, & the scent is very strong fot lips.

2010-07-31T16:31:00.000-07:00

WWW.ASOS.COM is my ultimate fav. online fashion store. Although it's from the UK, they do accept American Money. Last week was my first time actually purchasing things from the site, & I have to admit, it won't be my last. Choosing from the Mid Summer Sale, I only got a few things. (A black lace dress, a white cardigan & a ''Lovely'' necklace)

Sizes all go from UK sizes but a size guide is always available next the the size button( to figure out whats your UK size)
Also on your top right corner, go to ''CHANGE CURRENCY'' & change it to US dollars or wherever your from thats provided there.

July Fav's

2010-07-17T22:35:00.000-07:00

So there's a few things that are ''a must'' have for me this month.

One is My favorite Nail Polish by Essie. I've been rocking this same color last summer, but never knew where to get it. But this year Essie has released "Mint Candy Apple'' so I just had to get (evan with my tight budget)

Next I finally got a chance to buy the Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser. I must admit, while I was using it, I didn't really feel a cleansing feeling going on. But once I let me face dry, it was at it's softest. The Vibration experience I thought was super annoying, but honestly I think I would have gotten the same results without the battery. It does come with disposable pads & a battery.

Then I bought Some Tanning Lotion of course it's SunProof. One big problem was that as I pressed to get some if the product, it just splashed all over me. I didn't like it, & will never buy it again.

Last but not least, As most of your know I am a Burt's Bees Fanatic, so I had to get the duo pack.

Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer

2010-07-06T13:39:00.000-07:00

I am a big big fan of Burt's Bees Natural Skin Care Products. I was shopping at Rickys & was looking for my usual Pomegranate Lip Balm but of course they were all sold out so instead I bought the Rhubarb Lip Shimmer. I didn't think it would leave such a dramatic tint on my lips. But I actually like the color, just not for an everyday look.

Here's Lady Gaga's Latest video incase you still haven't seen it. Once again Lady Gaga has outdone herself again. Not really sure what's the concept of the video, but we never know whats under her sleeve. All I can say is that She is the true meaning of art ! Filled with Designers such as the late ALEXANDER MCQUEEN, EMPORIO ARMANI, & CALVIN KLEIN.
She's always giving us something to talk about .
