MEET THE ORIGINAL MIXED CHICKS...

During the colder months I tend to wear my hair straight more often, but now that it is starting to warm up it's time for me to let my curls loose! So I finally ordered the products I have been wanting to try for a while now. It's a product called "Mixed Chicks." I have heard lots of great reviews about it so as soon as I get my order in I will be doing a review for you guys with lots of photos!!! Here is what I ordered:



No Frizz Trio includes:
MIXED CHICKS 10oz shampoo
MIXED CHICKS 8oz deep conditioner
MIXED CHICKS 10oz leave-in

USE THIS TO: clarify, define & detangle curly hair, and end frizzy hair all day long!

I can't wait to try it out and share my findings with you all. Have any of you test these products?

UPDATE: 29 WEEKS, 4 DAYS

SORRY I HAVE NOT BEEN MAKING MY UPDATES REGULAR, THEY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN QUITE RANDOM BUT I AM SO OVERWHELMED WITH EMOTION I HAD TO SHARE WITH YOU GUYS WHAT I HAVE BEEN FEELING. AT THIS POINT IN MY PREGNANCY I AM VERY EXCITED ABOUT MEETING MY LITTLE ANGEL, BUT I MUST ADMIT THAT I AM ALSO VERY TIRED PHYSICALLY AND FEELING EMOTIONAL STRAIN. I AM ON THE EDGE OF GOING OFF OR CRYING, MAYBE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. THE CRAZY THING IS THAT I AM TRYING MY BEST TO REMAIN CALM AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE MORE CALM I TRY TO STAY THE CRAZIER I FEEL...ON THE UPSIDE, MY BABY IS MOVING AROUND LIKE CRAZY WHICH IS ALWAYS A GOOD SIGN, BUT EVEYTIME I TRY TO LET MY SON COP A FEEL (HAHA), THE BABY STOPS MOVING. COLLIN SAYS, MOMMY WHY HE KEEPS ACTING LIKE HE DON'T KNOW I'M HIS BROTHER, LOL..HOPEFULLY HE WILL GET SOME GOOD FEELS BEFORE THE DELIVERY THO BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A MIRACULOUS THING.
OH AND WHILE I HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VENT MY FRUSTRATIONS, I HAVE TO ASK, WHY DO PEOPLE THINK WHEN A WOMAN IS PREGNANT THEY HAVE PERMISSION TO SAY THINGS THAT WOULD NOT NORMALLY BE OK????I MEAN WHAT THA HECK???? I'M SICK OF PEOPLE SAYING, YOU ARE GETTING HHUUUUGGGEEEEE!!! OMG, YOU ARE BIGGG!!! NO FOOL, I'M NOT BIG OR HUGE, I AM PREGNANT! THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS, THE BABY GROWS AND OUR BODIES EXPAND TO ACCOMIDATE. DUH! SO I'M BEYOND THE POINT OF SMILING AND NOT SAYING ANYTHING, I RESPOND WITH WHATEVER I'M THINKING, SEEMS LIKE THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE DOING, I MIGHT AS WELL JOIN THEM RIGHT? AND BESIDES, I AM NOT HUGE, I HAVE ONLY GAINED 20LBS AND I AM 7 MONTHS, GET OFF ME!

LIFE'S LITTLE LESSONS

SO I WAS THINKING....AFTER 25 YEARS OF GROWING I HAVE COME TO REALIZE THAT I MUST LIVE MY LIFE TO MAKE ME HAPPY. SOMETIMES PEOPLE, INCLUDING MYSELF, GO THROUGH LIFE TRYING TO PLEASE OTHERS BECAUSE APPROVAL OR ACCEPTANCE MAKES THEM FEEL GOOD ABOUT WHO THEY ARE. WE ONLY LIVE ONCE AND IT IS SO IMPORTANT TO TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE THAT MATTER TO YOU MOST, BECAUSE TOMORROW IS NOT PROMISED. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME I FEEL THE TINGE OF REGRET BECAUSE OF A DECISION I MADE BASED ON THE ADVICE OF SOMEONE ELSE....ADVICE THAT I ACTUALLY DID NOT ASK FOR! AND IT ULTIMATELY LEFT ME UNHAPPY AND THE OTHER PERSON UNAFFECTED!!! I HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATED FOR DAYS ABOUT MY DECISION AND IT IS TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. SO PLEASE DO ME A FAVOR AND REMEMBER THAT SOMETIMES WE SHOULD JUST LET GO OF MENTAL CONTROL, FOLLOW YOUR HEART AND GIVE YOUR MIND A REST! I HOPE THIS MESSAGE SPEAKS TO SOMEONE BEFORE THE MAKE A CHOICE, NO MATTER HOW BIG OR SMALL, THAT LEAVES THEM FEELING REGRET. GOODNIGHT BLOGGING BUDDIES ; )

Make-up review: Bare Minerals Customizable Starter Kit

I ordered this kit from Ulta.com and decided to do a review on it for others who may be curious to try it. I was really excited when it came in and tried it as soon as I got home from work. I wore it for about two weeks and tried to love it, but the reality is that it just isn't really for me. The powder really irritated my eyes, they were itchy and watery during the time that I was wearing the make-up, even after I washed it off at night. The application looked good in the morning, but after a couple of hours my face looked blotchy and the powder only adhered to parts of my face. One thing that I did like about the product is how well it matches my complexion, I have a hard to match skin tone and the golden medium color I chose was a perfect match. I must add that I have oily skin with acne scars so I personally prefer a more full coverage foundation and have returned to my old faithful routine and I am so pleased with the way it looks, even after an 8 hour work day, I am wondering why did I insist on trying something different in the first place. I am currently in the process of trying to return the product because I feel like it is def a waste of $60. This product may be good for someone who does not want long lasting full coverage, but it is just not working out for me. I hope this helps if you were interested in this product. I will soon do a post with pics of my everyday makeup look that I love and I hope you all love it too.

OOTD: 7 MONTHS, 12 WEEKS TO GO...

TODAY WAS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL DAY. MY HUSBAND AND I WENT TO CHURCH, THEN DID A LITTLE SHOPPING AT THE LOCAL MALL. WE ENDED OUR OUTING BY GOING TO THE LAKE DOWNTOWN BY OUR CIVIC CENTER WHERE THEY WERE HAVING MARDI GRAS CELEBRATIONS.



WHAT I WORE...
MY FAV DENIUM JACKET FROM AMERICAN EAGLE, MY MOST COMPLIMENTED MAXI DRESS FROM MARSHALL'S, SILVER SANDALS FROM RACK ROOM, AND SUNGLASSES I PICKED UP AT WETSEAL WHILE WE WERE AT THE MALL. SO COMFORTABLE, AND PERFECT FOR THE WEATHER TODAY!

DAY 13: MY DAY IN GREAT DETAIL

SO REFERRING BACK TO MY OCD BLOG FROM YESTERDAY, I DON'T CARE FOR ODD NUMBERS AND 13 IS BY FAR MY LEAST FAVORITE, AS IS THIS BLOG TITLE. I AM NOT GOING TO GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT MY DAY GENERAL OUTLINE OF A TYPICAL DAY IS ME SNOOZING FROM 6:00 TO 6:30, THEN RUSHING OUT THE BED TO GET ME AND MY SON DRESSED. AFTER TAKING MY BABY TO SCHOOL I GO TO WORK FROM 8-5, PICK HIM UP AND USUALLY COME HOME TO CLEAN AND/OR COOK. OCCASIONALLY I SAY TO HELL WITH THE HOUSEWIFE CHORES AND GO TO MARSHALLS/TARGET, OR STOP BY A FRIENDS HOUSE TO SHOOT THE SHIT FOR A LITTLE WHILE. SO NOTHING GLAMOUROUR, JUST PAPERCHASE AND MOMMY MODE, BUT HEY, THEY BOTH MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND ; )



TYPICAL MORNING ON MY WAY TO WORK...




MY BABY READY FOR SCHOOL IN THE MORNING...

DAY 12: SOMETHING YOU ARE OCD ABOUT

WOW, THIS DAY'S BLOG WAS INTENDED FOR ME...WHERE DO I START, WELL HOW ABOUT THE DAY...12.....MY LUCKY NUMBER, WHICH I MAY HAVE MENTIONED BEFORE. I HAVE A WEIRD THINGS ABOUT NUMBERS, PARTICULARLY FOR VOLUMES, LIKE ON MY CAR STEREO OR THE TV, I PREFER IT TO BE IN INCREMENTS OF 5...5,10,15,20. I DON'T REALLY LIKE VOLUMES ON OTHER NUMBERS, BUT IF IT HAS TO BE SOMETHING OTHER THAN A 5 INCREMENT, IT HAS TO BE AN EVEN NUMBER.



I PROMISE YOU GUYS I WILL NOT BORE YOU WITH ALL OF MY WEIRDNESS ON ONE BLOG...I HAVE SO MANY OBSESSIONS, BUT I GOING TO SIGN OFF WITH JUST THIS ONE. ARE THERE ANY OTHER WEIRDOS LIKE MYSELF OUT THERE, OR AM I ALONE IN THIS? LOL...
