Even beauty addicts need stocking stuffers...like lots of them.:) lol! So I have a couple that any girl would appreciate.

Throw in some Softlips Conditioning Balms in the Holiday Flavors! I really love having lip balms everywhere: the bathroom, my shower caddy, my coat pocket, and of course my purse!


The new Softlips limited edition holiday flavors- Sugar & Spice, Winter Mint, Sugar Cookie, Sugar Plum Berry and Mint with a hint of Vanilla provide a tasty winter treat for your lips!  Each irresistibly delicious flavor  also features SPF 20.sun protection (suggested retail price for the Holidays 5-pack $9.99). 

 Hair accessories are currently on my "to tackle" list, meaning I'm still trying to find grown and sexy accessories that are good for my hair. Scunci has Scunci No Slip Grip Evolution Hair Ties and Scunci UpZing are great for hair junkies like me!

Looking to “do it up” for the holidays?  Look to scunci hair accessories!  The scunci UpZing double combs can create dozens of styles from polished ponies to glam up-dos, and new Evolution hair ties, headbands and claw clips utilize new stay-put technology to hold your style until you take it out!

12 Days Left to Shop! Rural Glamour Gifting Ideas!! : Gift for Your Hair Obsessed Friend...Infiniti Pro by Conair....

My natural hair is so tightly coiled, I don't have a curl pattern. I'm constantly trying to "stretch" it...give it length and even some texture, since "curl cremes" don't work. I've seen several times, girls on You Tube do "blow outs" on their natural hair to stretch...so I decided to do one too.


I use the Infiniti Pro by Conair to blow dry my hair. Here's are some great facts about the dryer:

-It has a AC motor for high performance like salon dryers
-3 heat settings 2 speed setting
-A cold "blast" button
-Ionic technology
-Ceramic technology

This is a picture of my dirty, tightly coiled hair ( I'm a 1 year, 1 month natural). I often twist my hair damp or wet to stretch for length...

This is my hair blown out with a heat protecterant applied with the Infiniti Pro. The weight of this dryer is heavy, like an expensive pro dryer which I like. It blew my hair dry pretty quickly. The hot setting was not too hot which I was nervous about since I'm used to a hot dryer, but that was when I was relaxed and I thought the hotter the better.:(

I was most impressed by the cold blast setting that was amazing. I've never owned anything like that. Its cooled my hair, sealed the cuticle and felt amazing at the same time!

Here's the hair "stretched". The Infinti Pro done its job. I highly recommend buying one for your hair obsessed friend and yourself! The retail for this dryer is $29.99 and less ( I saw them at Walgreens and WalMart and Amazon). Plus, it is compared to the T3 Featherweight, Chi Pro GF1505, and FHI Pro 1800.

Fresh Coat: Revlon Beach and Kleancolor Fireworks....

  I love glitter polish , especially during the holidays! Plus, glitter tends to stay on longer, less chipping than a creme or shimmer. I did a two coat base of  Revlon Beach and two coat overlay of Kleancolor Fireworks....

Revlon Beach is one of the scented polish that Revlon did ( it smells like roses), I got it at Big Lots. Kleancolor Fireworks is from my local BSS....

With flash....and cuticle oil:)

Without flash....

12 Days Left to Shop! Rural Glamour Gifting Ideas!! : Office Party Goodies with Wholly Guacamole!!!

Ah, the Annual  Office Christmas Party. Sometimes is a catered affair, straight out of the company budget. Other times is a potluck you are not looking forward to. I've worked at places that had both, but when I had to bring something, I was always the morning of, in the Harris Teeter, looking for something to bring. LOL!

The good folks over at Wholly Guacamole have the perfect office goodies to bring. Who doesn't love dip and chips?!? That makes everyone happy!

Wholly Guacamole has Wholly Guacamole, Wholly Salsa, and  Wholly Queso to please everyone taste buds. My absolutely favorite of the three is the Wholly Salsa in Medium. Wholly Salsa tastes super fresh like the Mexican Restaurant style salsa. You can taste the garlic, lime, cilantro....its slightly chunky and not watery, so it works well with the thinest tortilla chips. I practically devoured the entire bowl. Wholly Guacamole is also fresh, so fresh, you wont believe someone put that in a package. Wholly Queso is for the cheese lovers but it only tastes good if it is heated.


visit Wholly Guacamole and your grocers' produce department to pick you up some for the party. Don't forget....NO DOUBLE DIPPING!!!

12 Days Left to Shop! Rural Glamour Gifting Ideas!! : Fragrances for the Bestie, The Sister, and Young Cousin!!!

Time is definitely winding down to shop for our loved ones! I've picked some scents that are perfect for the sister, the bestie, and the young cousin...

Beyonce Heat Elixir is Queen Bee's newest spin on her original scent. I own the original Heat as well and I have to say that Elixir is sexier and warmer than Heat. Elixir goes on and dries down better than Heat and the bottle is more sophisticated as well. Its definitely for the bestie who gets her sexy on. You girl can even share this!

The fragrance has notes of spicy-floral Red Vanilla Orchid, Osmanthus petals, Cedarwood, Amber, Vanilla, Tonka Bean.

For your sister, who either has everything or never has "nothing" and wants your stuff, get her Coach Poppy. Coach Poppy is classy and sophisticated. Its all around everyday fragrance that she will think you spent your last dime on. I remember when first put it on, I felt like I was spraying on an expensive purse. lol! This should make her feel special!! hahaha!

Sweetly scented jasmine and gardenia mingle with fresh cucumber and candied rose petals in a pretty, lighthearted fragrance. 

Baby Phat Dare Me is for your young female cousin who you are trying to look at for. She's a sweet girl but she's in that moment in her life where nothing matters but texting, boys, and besties. But you want to give her something ladylike yet trendy. Dare Me is sweet and dainty. She will feel super special  each time she wears it and  let her girls know that her big cousin gave this to her!

The notes feature magnolia, green almond macaroon, neroli, coconut milk, honeysuckle, nectar, honey breche, white milkwood, musk, tonka bean and sandalwood.
