BIOTIN !!!


The other day I went to the vitamin shop cause my body was feeling kinda lifeless, I was tired all the time and lacking energy. So I went to the mall to Vitamin World to purchase some womens everyday vitamins. And I came across Biotin , Its a vitamin I think ,That supports strong and healthy hair, nails, and skin. I figured It would be good for me while my transition . It's only been 2 days since I started taking it , so I don't know if it's working yet but I will definetly keep you guys posted.

My Birthday Makeup and OFOTN




So last week was my Birthday and I was having a dinner , so of course it being my special day of one more year getting older, I wanted to look super nice. I originally wanted to wear a dress but then a massive thunderstorm came out of no where, so I had to change outfits. I wore my skinny legged jeans from Forever21, A blue halter top that I bought in Colombia last August. And I wore my black patent leather pumps I got at easy Pickins. Very simple and cute . Now for my makeup I wanted something simple yet noticeable. I used a gold color from my ELF Palette all over my lid then I cut the crease with a dark brown kinda purple E/S. I then applied a shimmery light gold E/S as a highlight after I applied my favorite black liquid liner on my upper lashline. I lined my waterline with a black pencil and applied that same dark crease color all over my lower lashline. I tammed my brows then applied my kiss liquid foundation all over the face. I then concealed my undereye area blended everything then applied my kiss powder foundation to set the liquid Foundation and concealer. Finally I put a shimmery pink lip gloss and was ready to enjoy the night!!

10 Months Post Relaxer !!


I can honestly say this has been a difficult transition for me . It's been 10 months since my last relaxer, my hair definetly feels much healthier and fuller. However, like expected I'm dealing with a little breakage due to detangling and it is very frustrating dealing with the two textures. But what I've found very stress free and easy to do is to actually put my hair in 2 strand twists. So what I do every week after I wash my hair and apply my products , I detangle and section, then I twist my hair in medium size twists, after I do that, I put all of my hair in a ponytail and then wrap it in a neat bun. This style is super cute and different , It lasts about 5 or 6 days, and there is no tension to the front of my hair or my edges which is great. It's been almost 2 months I've been rockin the two strand twist style. It's a very good protective style , plus you can rock a slammin twist out ,if you wish seeing how you keep the twists in for a few days. So for all you Transitioners out there don't give up there is hope !! The frustration will pass.


My Flat Twist Updo !!


Since this summer is soooo hot and humid , My hair wont hold a braid out or a twist out style. So one day I asked my mother to do something with my hair and she decided to put my hair in this really cute flat twist updo style. I absolutely love this style ! It didn't take long at all and it was painless, and my hair was up off the back of my neck and away from the front of my face. This style lasted for 4 days, and then I just put my hair in a bun until wash day. This is also a good protective and transitioning style as well. I hope you guys like this look and tell me what you think !!
