Still Sick but Good News!

Hey everyone. Unfortunately, I'm still sick...it seemed to be getting better yesterday, but I woke today and my chest is feeling tight and congested, I'm coughing a lot more, and so much fatigue. I actually had to take my mom to our family doctor today to get checked out for her bronchitis. My doctor overheard me coughing in the background and told me that I need to get rest, drink warm fluids to get this drainage out, and if it doesn't get better...I gotta come back. Right now, I'm heating up some water to make some green tea and I have my SpongeBob pajama pants on and my pink slipper booties. Ultimate comfort. All I'm missing is my boyfriend. :/ It seems like everytime I'm with him, I feel a lot better...although he always complains that I get super hot and he has to make me sit up so I can actually feel the breeze from the fan. Ugh, I really dislike this feeling. I've been wanting to sleep all day and I did manage to take a nap when me and my mom got home. Bahhhhh~!
Not from today, but I'm wearing the same shirt and pants...just different socks...I was too tired to take a pic today. :( I was going to use this for a different post, but that never happened I think.
SOOOO I am super excited!!! Even though I'm sick, I managed to buy my own URL! Say hello to a shorter link to this blog! http://taylorrae.co I am so happy. I feel like I'm starting to move forward and actually really starting to use this blog the way I intended to. ALSO. The t-shirt line I've been dying to get started is now in the designing stage. We're creating my logo, and we're gonna start on the first couple t-shirt designs. I am estatic. I love fashion and being able to create my own is just...amazing. So when we have the logo created, I'll be sure to share it with you all! So please, keep checking up!
Ahhh, I feel like things are starting to pick up! Me and Anthony have been thinking about doing a photoshoot together. Why? Just because. Ain't nothing wrong with a couple wanting to take pro pics with each other...right? Well we found 2 photographers! One is willing to go on location for us for only $25 while the other is willing to do it for free. So we may just do both. I don't know, but...Anthony's grandmother is in town...and her food is BEAUTIFUL. Homemade tortillas...oh gosh. So lovely. She is so nice and funny too! I can't wait to see her hopefully tomorrow after my last class of the day.
I guess I'll end this post...I'm going a bit far off topic maybe? Well before I go...I just want to share a little scripture.
"A happy heart makes the face cheerful,
but heartache crushes the spirit."
- Proverbs 15:13
I've been kind of re-evaluating myself and I kind of realized that sometimes my smiles weren't making my face cheerful. I've noticed that when my heart isn't fully happy, my boyfriend can tell when something is wrong. He can tell when my spirit has been crushed, and not only does he see but so does God. I kind of felt like I was lying to God and those around me. My smile was not entirely genuine. So after praying, I just...began to laugh and something inside me felt light and I actually feel a need to smile. If you ask Anthony, the past couple nights I had little laughing fits and silly moments where I imitated Bill Cosby and just acted like a complete dork. So, just remember, life is too short to be upset and faking smiles. Let them be genuine and have a happy heart!

Ugh, I hate Colds!!!

Hello! How is everyone? I hope you all are well. Unfortunately for me, I have become sick. Yesterday and earlier today, I felt so tired and my boyfriend said that my face was hot. Luckily, after my class yesterday and before work today, he took care of me. He told me to rest up and he even gave me medicine. I was worn out. I am thankful he put up with me while I am sick...I act like such a child! I didn't want to take the medicine because it had a powerful smell to it and I didn't want to go to work because I was too tired. Augh, I am ready to go to bed! But before I go to bed, I just wanted to do a quick post! <3
So my guy's suprise gift came in! Plus my slippers and...MY TOTORO WALLET CAME IN!
The slippers and pillow are extra comfy!
Yep, I got me and my guy matching Super Mario pillows! They are so cute! I love them and my guy likes his too. :) Slowly starting to REALLY decorate my room~. I am so happy with my order. Oh, and my wallet is so freakin' adorable and it's smaller than my other wallet so I can fit more into my purse when I go to school. Ugh, I just can't stop sneezing!!! Alright guys, I'mma take some *shivers* meds and head on to bed! I'll let you all know if I'm any better tomorrow! Take care everyone!!!
Me and Anthony on Wednesday before this stupid cold! I look tired~!
Thanks for reading~! <3

2nd Post of The Day~!

Yep, I'm back. I decided to do two posts today just because I have a lot of time left before my next class, plus, I just enjoying writing on my blog. :) I know there days where I am too busy to blog, but when something happens or when I get time, the first thing I do is check my blog and post! I love "Simple Days..." although lately my days haven't been seeming simple with school, work, and what not. But, it's the thought that counts. Anyways, yesterday was great fun. My mom, my sister, and I ended up having a girl's day out lunch. It was nice to get out of the house to a place that is not considered work or school. It was also nice to just spend time with my family. I wish my dad could've made it, but he has work too. He promised me lunch though one day...ONE DAY. Haha, anyways we went to Hibachi Buffet (again) since my sister loves it and my mom has yet to have gone. I love buffets. I love how I don't have a limit. $8 for ALL YOU CAN EAT. I love it. I have no shame! Food is my game! Oh gosh...
My lunch: Miso soup, gyouza, teriyaki chiken, mustard greens, Korean chicken, mushrooms, and steak. Plus there's a little cup for my green tea. :)
Just for the record, that picture is one of 6 plates I made...I'm surprised I haven't gained weight from all that food. I shouldn't question though, should I? It's a blessing. Haha! Anyways, after lunch we went to WalMart and picked up a few things then headed home. I was so tired when I got home and I was dreading going to work with this food coma hitting hard. I just laid in my bed and watched "Tangled" (Yes, it is one of my favorite movies...) until I had to leave. Oh, what a day it was. The night before, I managed to order a few things from amazon.com! I got a new pair of slippers, a new wallet, and a surprise for my boyfriend. Well, let me also add that I liked my boyfriend's surprise so much that I even bought me one. I hope he likes it, but he said he got me a surprise too...so now I'm curious.
So, I bought a drink yesterday at my job. I've seen people buy it before, and I've been intrigued by it, but never bought it til yesterday. It's called Cascade Ice Sparkling Water. They only have 2 calories per serving and honestly, they taste amazing. I had the Strawberry Lemonade flavor and it was to die for. Plus they only cost $0.87 at my job. So they're cheap and affordable. I highly reccomend it. There's not fat or anything in it. It's awesome. Here's a link to the website~! No, this isn't sponsored. It's just delicious.
So I really wanna share my outfit from yesterday because...I was in love with it!
I. Love. My. Oxfords. I love how they give an outfit a certain feel. I love them. So this was my outfit for lunch with my mom. I have my Forever21 Blazer and Striped shirt, my jeans, my oxfords, and my Louis Vuitton bag. Simple and classy. For work though, I just took off my blazer and oxfords and put on some comfy shoes since all I do is stand...ugh. I really like this outfit though. I want to wear it on a date with the boyfriend soon!
Ahhh, so many things I wanna do. I guess I should just end this post. :P Thank you all so much! I hope you have a wonderful day! Take care everyone!!!

Cold Showers for Health and Beauty~!

Hey ladies! So I've been thinking all day about what to write about next...and it hit me right after I took a shower. See, I always have a nice hot shower, but at the end...I always turn my water to cold and just shiver and soak up all the cold water. Why? Because cold water actually does help you! I've known this for a couple years now, and I must say...I've yet to take a shower without cold water. It's great for your skin and hair, but also great for your health! So, how is cold water healthy for you?

So I know cold showers sound so unappealing. Believe me, I was hesitant to try it also...but when I did the research, turns out: Cold Showers are Amazing. They can do so much for your health and beauty! However, do not take a cold shower when it's your time of the month! Cold water on the body puts too pressure and strength on the reproductive system...Anyways...onto the positive effects of taking cold showers~:

Number One: It detoxifies your body. Cold water contracts your muscles to the point where they eliminate toxins and poisonous wastes. The more waste you lose, you begin to build immunities and also purify your blood. Cold Showers + Green Tea = ULTIMATE DETOXIFICATION!

Number Two: Your skin could use it. When we bathe or shower with hot water, it dries out our skin and enlarges our pores which makes it easier for dirt and pollution to clog them up. Yes, you can start off your shower warm, enlarge your pores to clean them out, but end your shower with cold water so you can shrink the pores so more dirt doesn't get in. Also, cold water makes your blood vessels restrict...which means if you have dark circles, a cold shower will reduce swelling and dark circles giving you a healthy glow.

Number 3: Shinier hair. Need I say more? Apparently, you can shinier hair also if you use the "cool" setting on your hair dyer. Wish I learned that sooner. Anyways, in the same way cold water shrinks your pores, cold water shrinks the cuticle of your hair making it difficult for dirt to accumulate. It's also building strength, which means that when you're brushing or combing your hair, less hair will come out.

Number 4: Less stress and more energy! Cold showers can reduce stress by regulating your autonomic nervous system and of course less stress has many benefits in the long run! If you're depressed or have depression, take a cold shower. When we take a cold shower, there is a mild electroshock that is sent to our brain and stimulate the brain's "blue spot" which delivers a chemical that causes depression. And just the cold water alone will wake you up!

It's crazy that a single element can have this big of effect. There are more effects too by the way. Here's a website that has 21 Benefits of a Cold Shower. I personally love my cold showers. I love hot water, but heat also makes me sleepy and tired. When I need energy, BAM cold water. I may be shivering, but it's worth it. I tried to look cool little things you in a cold shower to help your skin even more, but to no avail. So, I hope this was helpful ladies!! Let me know if you decided to try a cold shower out and how felt afterwords!!!

Chilly, Autumn Days are here!

Hooray! I have been looking forward to Autumn since the summer started! I dislike heat so much, I break out instantly when I sweat...it's so embarrassing. So when Autumn comes around, I get all giddy. Plus, fall clothes are awesome. So, I'm sorry it took me a couple days to post! I have been working Thursday through Sunday and we were so incredibly busy..plus I had so many rude customers. Bleh, I am mentally drained. But I got overtime hours too which means MORE PAY. Wahooooo~! But my feet hurt so bad. They are so swollen and red. Ewww, ugh. I don't want to walk anymore, haha. It's SO painful.
Anyways, I'm thinking of doing a youtube channel. Just to kind of add stuff to my blog and give advice, tips and such for people who don't even know what the heck my blog is. I really just feel like I have a lot to say, so why not share it? I don't know, what do you guys think?
Bahhh, I have so many ideas! One at a time, Taylor, one at a time. This chilly weather is making my skin rough already...I have to put on lotion twice a day now on my hands and I have to use twice the amount of chapstick. But, I do love all the warm drinks and food I get to eat now. Hot chocolate, Cappuccinos, ohhhhh so good! Today I enjoyed a warm cappuccino and some fruit outside after class. So nice! But today, after my last class, I'm heading over to my boyfriend's house for hot chocolate, popcorn, and a movie. I should've brought my SpongeBob snuggie just to make it even more official. Two nights ago we watched "Ponyo" because it always cheers me up after a long or terrible day. Oh how I'm easily entertained. This weather is just...I can't even describe it. Autumn has always been my favorite season. After the long heat wave, the sudden chilly air and breeze is so refreshing...So I'm tempted to buy a pair of Totoro Slippers or something...I am so tired of my feet hurting that I want to pamper them with slippers of comfort. Room socks look comfortable too...
Another idea! The next post. I think I am going to talk about imperfections and positive self image. I remember how I wrote an entire research paper on how the media affects female self image and even male body image. I really think this is a topic dear to me though, since I've struggled with low self-esteem for a long time. I think I have an attention problem, because I keep switching from one topic to another...
I'm sorry for such a random post! Tomorrow or tonight I shall do a self image post! I hope you guys have such a wonderful week! Please be safe and take care~!
Thanks for reading~! <3

Good Things Come to Those Who Wait!

Hey everyone! Ahhh, so you guys are probably tired of hearing about how tired I am. Well, I'm still tired, but I'm definitely feeling more energized! I don't know why...maybe it's because my order from Forever21 came in yesterday and I FINALLY have a blazer. Actually, I'm just feeling more relaxed and able to breath. The weather has been so incredibly beautiful lately. I actually sat by the lake today at my school and ate my lunch outside. And yesterday, I got to spend some time with my boyfriend and we went shopping and got to even relax for a while. It feels so nice. I bought a really cute sweaterdress in preparation for the cold months to come!
They say horizontal stripes aren't for girls with curves...I say SHAME ON YOU. I love stripes. Whether they make me look fat or not, stripes are cute to me. Muahahaha, plus this dress is so cute! I wonder if I can pair it with a cute belt...or maybe my coach shoes? I don't know!!! Haha, I love figuring out ways to create an outfit. I am a little stumped though. The dress is red and navy...but women wear black heels with a navy and red coord anyways? I don't know, but I will make it work!!! WATCH ME!
Anyways, I am so bored. I have another 1 hour and 10 minutes until my next class. I have been watching youtube videos and social networking and oh gosh...WHAT TO DO!? I did watch a good video though. You know, I reference Bubzbeauty often because her videos are incredibly helpful and are very simple. But, she is so inspirational also. I was going through her videos and found one called "What Makes me Beautiful" and...it almost made me cry because of the points she brought up and it did help me realize a lot about myself and the beauty I have personally. And I think it's something you guys should watch. It's very inspirational to me.

One of my favorite scriptures on beauty is:
"Do not let your adornment be merely outward - arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel - rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God." - 1 Peter 3:3-4
I find beauty to be more an inside trait rather than an outward trait. I mean we can be beautiful inside and out, but if your personality is beautiful then the rest of you is going to be beautiful...I wonder if I make sense. Anyways, I have to start getting ready for class! I hope you all have a wonderful day! Take care and stay safe!

An Ode to Star fruit...Not really.

Hey ladies! I'm sorry it's taken me so long to get this done! I have been completely busy and last night was my first night of actually getting around 8 hours of sleep...plus I had to go shopping with my boyfriend for birthday gifts for his nieces. Those cuties. I love them. Anyways!!!! The reason I want to do a post about star fruit is because...I LOVE STAR FRUIT. I am addicted to them. My job very rarely gets them in stock...so when they do, I spend a whopping $1.50 per star fruit. I have no shame. I am even debating on whether to grow my own star fruit-bearing tree. That is how good they are to me. But I never knew how healthy they could be until I started hearing about star fruit EVERYWHERE. So, here I am. I hope you all enjoy some health and beauty benefits of Star fruit!
It looks soooo good!
Numbero 1: Star fruit contains vitamins A, B, and C and also many antioxidants! This means that star fruit helps fight fatigued skin and makes your face feel more fresh and brighter. It also helps shrink your pores which means less oil on your face which also means it helps with acne!
Numbero 2: One glass of star fruit juice helps reduce fats and help you succeed at weight loss...I wish I knew this a year ago!
Numbero 3: Star fruit helps strengthen your teeth and gums and also whitens your teeth with its natural fluoride.
Numbero 4: Star fruit keeps your cell in healthy shape and can slow down the aging process. Too bad I'm mistaken for a 16 year old already...
I do have a disclaimer though...if you have kidney problems or get kidney stones easily, please DO NOT eat star fruit. It has kidney stone forming oxalic acid which is harmful to anyone suffering from any kidney problem. Please be careful!
So I kind of wish this post was a little longer, but I'm kind of hitting a dead end here...maybe I'm tired or something. But I hope you learned something and can eat star fruit to benefit your skin and health! I hope everyone is having an amazing week! Take care everyone and God Bless!

Sunny Days are Back!

Hey everyone! So, the rain has finally stopped. So many places on the east coast were so flooded...I'm glad it's finally ended. Now, it's bright, sunny, and windy. Perfect weather. I've been a bit busy lately. I got to take my boyfriend out to his graduation lunch and give him his gift and card. He said he absolutely loves his gift, but the card made it worth while. The lunch was...beautiful. We went to a Hibachi Buffet and it did not disappoint. I had not been eating so much recently because of lack of enough sleep and just not having an appetite in general, but this place made me eat like 5 plates of food. $8 for all you can eat Japanese food, Chinese food, American food, everything. Their desert was amazing too. So tasty. I wanted to cry. My boyfriend was happy too...he got his whole crab and tore it up! While trying to teach me how to eat crab..I'm glad he liked it. :)
He's so handsome. :3 Haha, Congrats babe!
So tomorrow I am thinking about ordering this facial product I've seen everyone posting about...The Biore Marshmallow Facial Cleanser! I've seen nothing but great reviews on it..but no one has said how it is on sensitive skin..so I'mma give it a try and see how it does and review it later on. As for a health and beauty post...maybe I'll do a post on Strawberries or Starfruit. Both are my favorite fruit and have many health benefits. I don't know. It may change...or maybe I should do a wish list/haul post? Bahhhh, I have no clue!!! Anyways, I hope you all are doing well! Take care and stay safe!

A Special Post for My Guy

So, I'm sure you've all noticed my profile picture has me and my boyfriend in it. Well, I wanted to dedicate this post to him. Today, he has successfully completed his last class for his Associates Degree at the Art Institute. Which means, HE'S GRADUATING! I am so proud of him *sniff sniff*. Tomorrow, we're celebrating with a special lunch. He's so happy to be done and now he just wants to get through the portfolio show later on this month. I just can't believe how much he's grown. It brings a little tear to my eye. I love seeing his face when he completes a flyer or a logo or a website. The look is so beautiful. His eyes have this sparkle and his smile is big and bright. God's given him an artistic talent. And he definitely used it to glorify God and spread his word.

Anthony, if you're reading this (which I'mma make sure you are), I just want you to know how much I love you and how proud I am of your accomplishment. God has so many wonderful plans for you and I am so excited to see where he takes you because I know that with God, you are in good hands.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything." - James 1:2-4

Whether you decide to go back to school for your Bachelor's or if you move forward with Kingdom Muzik, I will always be here for you; supporting you, praying for you, listening to you, and always loving you. Never forget to thank God first and foremost for this day and continue to give him all the glory and honor for allowing you to see your college graduation.

"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God." - Philippians 1:9-11

Congratulations sweetheart. Oh gosh, I'm crying while writing this, haha. I can't wait to give you your present and treat you to a special lunch. <3 I love you sweetie and God loves you eternally.
With love,
Your Oompaloompa,
Taylor Rae
I love you Handsome.

Cold & Rainy. This means stay indoors.

Augh, it's cold and rainy. Normally, I'd love it. But there's been so much going on within the last 24 hours, I'm just not feeling good. Plus, it's that time of the month so I feel like extra crap. I've been munching on my little bag of hershey's cookies 'n creme drops and drinking tea all day while watching Nickelodeon...mostly Spongebob Squarepants. But, I also was able to buy myself a blazer, and two new cute sweaters for this upcoming cold weather. I love Forever21. I love their clothing because it's affordable and they have a lot of cute items. So, here are the items I got:
Lace Slv Pullover. I love how simple it is. And classy.
Fab Terry Blazer. I've been wanting to get a blazer!!
Mickey & Minnie Pullover. I love Disney. And I love my boyfriend. ;)
So, I am like...starving. I haven't really had a real meal all day. I haven't really wanted to eat though. There's been so much going on and so much on my mind...food isn't really the first thing that pops into my mind. But, I'm staying positive. Today, my boyfriend's college graduation gift arrived in the mail. I was worried it was a fake though. I got him a Flud Turntable Watch because he's a Christian DJ plus he'd been asking for one. When I compared the watch I got to the watch on the website, I freaked out because the logos were completely different. But after asking my boyfriend, he said that the one I got had the original logo, not the new one. So, I feel better. There were a lot of smudges on the face of the watch and all, but that's the simplest fix ever. I am just excited to give it to him. He's been busting his butt for this portfolio show and graduation. He deserves something nice.
Anyways, I'm going to head out guys! I hope you all have a wonderful week! Be safe and take care~!

Treating Damaged Hair! The easy way.

So, as promised, here is a little post on how to treat damaged hair. For me, I've done so much to my hair chemically and from the heated products I use like a flat iron and hair dyer. After I got my perm done recently, my roots were completely fried. It was terrible. I would not stop touching my hair because it felt so singed and rough. I also had my hair dyed a couple years ago and the chemicals damaged my hair AND my scalp. It was so embarrassing. My scalp was scabbing and peeling and it hurt to touch it. So, I'm very familiar with hair damage. But I've also learned how to overcome it! Muahaha...take that stupid chemicals. Hopefully, you all will find it helpful and beneficial!So let's start with the causes of damaged hair!
Cause #1: Chemicals
Harsh chemicals break down protein bonds in our hair. Those protein bonds are what makes our hair beautiful and strong. Harsh chemicals include: perms, bleaches, hair dyed, relaxers, and straighteners.

Cause #2: Heat
If you have chemically treated hair, the sun can do damaged to your hair. Ultra-violet rays can also weaken protein bonds. Other heat causes such as a flat iron or a curling iron crack the hair's cuticle and takes out the moisture. When you use an iron or a blow dyer, try to use lower temperature settings, that way your hair isn't going through too much heat.

Cause #3: Friction
When we sleep or brush our hair too much, our hair is being rubbed against another surface. This causes friction which breaks our hair. Be sure to use an appropriate comb to avoid friction.

Cause #4: Health
Pollution, stress, poor circulation, poor water intake, and poor diet all affect our hair. If we don't provide our bodies with the proper nutrients and vitamins, our hair won't benefit either. We need to remain healthy overall in order to have healthy hair!

Now that we know the causes...we need a solution! As you all know, I prefer home remedies. They're easy to make and fun to use. Although...some may be a little smelly. Here are some home remedies that are simple and how they benefit our hair.
Remedy #1: Avocado and Mayonnaise
Avocado replenishes our hair with essential fatty acids and vitamin E while mayonnaise is used to condition the hair and bring back that shine. For this remedy all you need is 1/2 of a riped mashed avocado and 1 to 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, depending on the length of your hair. You can wrap your hair with ceramwrap if you'd like. Leave it in for 30 minutes to an hour and rinse thoroughly.

Remedy#2: Lime and Honey
Honey is wonderful. It smells great and it'll moisturize and cleanse your hair like no other. It also adds volume, which is a definite plus! Lime is great if your have oily and greasy hair. I tend to have oily hair an hour after I wake up before a shower and when it gets hot. All you need is 1 lime, squeeze the juice into a bowl, and 5 spoons of honey. Blend well and apply to your scalp and hair shaft. Rinse after leaving it in for an hour.

Remedy #3: Egg Yolk, Honey, and Olive Oil
Egg yolks are amazing for the hair. They have vitamins A, D, E and B which improve our hair's appearance. They also proteins and fatty acids that give our hair a shine. Olive oil will improve the strength, condition, and nourish our hair. It also helps prevent hair loss! This recipe is simple: mix 1 egg yolk, 1 spoon of honey, and 3 spoons of olive oil. Apply to your hair and wash after 30 minutes.

Last, but not least...

Remedy #4: Yogurt
Every website I visit mentions a yogurt recipe. I knew yogurt was healthy for your skin, but I didn't think it would be just as beneficial for your hair. Yogurt promotes hair growth and can prevent frizziness. The best way to get these results is to just put half a cup of yogurt (natural and plain) and put it in a blander until it forms a smoothe paste. Then just rub in your hair, leave it in for 15-30 minutes and then rinse. So simple.

Well ladies! That's what I got for you today. There are actual hair products that target damaged hair and even specfically damaged hair, but I like to promote simplicity and easy things...hopefully, you will get wonderful results! I'd love to hear about your experiences with these recipes and other recipes. I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day! Be safe and take care!

So Busy, Busy.

Hey everyone! So, it's been a crazy week at work this week because of Labor Day weekend. This means, I'm completely worn out. My boyfriend keeps asking "why are you tired?" and I'm like "I'm not used to this schedule." I'm starting to lose weight now because I'm eating less, I'm walking non-stop or standing non-stop it feels like, plus, I'm not getting the sleep I'm used to/need. I'm really just praying to God that he'll take care of me and my body and allow my health to not decline. Also, regarding my car loan...I'm approved! But for only $7500...That is all my budget allows. So I'm also praying that I can find a car in this price range that is safe and reliable. Ohhh boy. I am just so tired. Today, I have my physical fitness class at school. I'm not excited. I am so tired, but they say exercise helps with fatigue and such. It wi;; "waken" you up. Hopefully. Right after class I have to head over to work until closing then the D-Xampl Bible Study. My day is busy busy. I might stop by the store next to my job and see if they have any cute stuff inside. I've been looking for a blazer and cardigans and jeans and such. Plus, they have discounted Coach items. Ugh, why can't I just go to bed today? Anyways, so I'm thinking about doing a post on how to treat damaged hair. I've dyed my hair so many times, bleached it numerous amounts, and I just got a perm which fried my roots. After less than a month, my hair is back to looking shiny and natural even though the waves are still there. Sooo, I hope you guys will like it!! I may also do a "Wish List Haul" on here..so be on the lookout!
Well, I'mma get ready for class everyone! Wish me luck on this horrendous class called "physical fitness"!! Haha! I hope you all have a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
A look at my hair! It feels so much better now! I can't wait to show you guys what I did!
