I'm Back Again!

Hello guys! it is good to be back. I was extremely busy these past few months and I could not wait to be back blogging. I must say that I am getting better w/my make-up, I finally got the eyebrows thing down and now I am playing around w/ eyeshadows. On these pics I have on my eyes Maybelline Eyewear trio in Golden heart. I did not like the brow highlight from it so I used my M.A.C brow highlight in Maple. I am still looking for lipstick/lipgloss that will go great w/ my lips, here I have on M.A.C BBQ lip pencil, What a Do! lipstick and Beaux lipglass.

It's good to be back!

Caruso Steam Rollers

I bougth them at the begining of my hair journey and now that I am natural I don't know if I can still use those rollers. Any naturals used these steam rollers and got some decent results? Please let me know.

Avoid Unwanted Snacking

Don't cancel out all your hard work by snacking on calorie-laden foods. Here are seven easy ways to help you say no to all your guilty pleasures:

1. Down eight or more glasses of water a day.
2. Eat five to six planned, well-balanced meals a day.
3. Load up on fiber.
4. Never eat from the bag! Put your food on a plate or bowl.
5. In the morning, plan out what you are going to eat for the rest of the day, healthy snacks included.
6. Keep a food journal.
7. Find a weight loss partner you can consult with daily about what you've eaten.

EnKore!

I had the opportunity to go to a make-up seminar hosted by the one and only EnKore of EnKoreMakeUp onYoutube. He is such a great person and a fabulous make-up artist! I had so much fun learning tricks and tips from him. I am a newbie at this make-up thing (that I enjoy so much now) and I was so happy when he complimented me on my make-up! Someone even asked me if I were a make-up artist! I really like a natural look w/ nice colors to enhance the look. I even bought some make-up from MAC which were are discounted prices, I had so much fun. I will def share the tips that I learned from him with you.

I did it! The Big Chop!

I was so itching to cut my hair today, so much that after work I went to Sally's Beauty Supply to purchased a pair of hair shear scissor. I got home and started to trim and I went for it: I cut off the relaxed ends! boy do I feel awesome! I transitioned for 6 months.
