Beneath The Surface...6 Months Celebration...

This is my hair, first relaxer in 2 years on July 19, 2008.I started my hair regimen officially on September 11, 2008...

It was in bad shape even thought it looked good. After a major set back in October( I had large whole patch on my hair break off at the crown, but I've baby-ed back to health and it growinf back ), a great healthy regimen( focusing on the health of my hair first...next the length.)

Here's it is!!! March 11,2008. I can proudly say that alot of health is back. The back and sides are longer than they have EVER been healthy...no straggly ends. And this is 4 wks post relaxer...and the first time I flat ironed and curled it since I relaxed those 4 wks ago.

I figured some things out about my hair in those 6 mths... It likes co-washes, moisturizing/seal combo twice a day...little combing...hiding under a wig(lol) no pulling and tugging and air-drying. Sound like it likes what I did most of the time when I was natural!!!

I will have my new update regimen tomorrow and a GIVEAWAY!!! Stay tuned!!

Rural Glamour: Layering? Is it necessary?

I was thinking about layering fragrances as a sprayed my new Halle fragrance on for like the tenth time since I received it....

I thought to myself "Should I get the lotion to match when it comes out at Kohl's" "Nah, the scent is holding up just fine." So I asked Fashion Boy (also known by a new name...) "The Tattoo Kang" (self-explanatory)if I should buy the matching lotion. I snickered as watched him ACTUALLY think about it. Then he said,"If the scent is enough you don't need the matching lotion". Point for Fashion Boy...I mean The Tattoo Kang.:)

I have several lotions as you can see here with the coordinating scent. Sometimes I just wear the lotion and totally forget to put on the scent. Then I just do the scent, no lotion. depending on the scent, either or is just right...never both on me...So this "layering" thing....is it necessary and do you do it?

Another thing that crossed my mind...I read in, I think, January Bazaar 2009 SJP( Sarah Jessica Parker FOR THOSE WHO DON'T KNOW) mentioned that she spritzes her daily scent three, four times daily....

N.O.T.D.: OPI Significant Other Color...

Hi Everyone!!

I did this mani yesterday while chillin' on my front porch watching my kids run and run and run in the yard!!

OPI Significant Other Color

I got this in the clearance bin, too, at Trade Secret. And I know why it was there. Wack. Sheer wackness...that's three coats you are looking at with my nail still showing plus it looks nothing like the bottle color( it goes on yellow greenish) AND the name is perfect because it was "significantly" Another Color. *sigh*

N.O.T.D: Ruby Kisses Caribbean...

DUPE ALERT!!!!

Ruby Kisses Caribbean=Essie Mesmerize

I bought this a couple months ago during a random run in at the BSS. Paid 1.00 for it. So, while I was feenin' for Essie Mesmerize, in my own collection there was... its frugal, yet fab lil' sista Ruby Kisses Caribbean. I'm going to check the BSS again to see if they got anymore...I'm itching to do a giveaway on this:)
