Apple Juice!!


I have been on a kick to drink more water lately so I take my canteen to school. I could not help but think about how hard it would be for me to give up...

APPLE JUICE!

I loovvee apple juice. I drink a little bottle at school every day and then about two glasses when I get home. I do not know why I love this juice so much but I do. All of my cousins love apple juice. Whenever I go visit my cousins out of state and we go to dinner, we all order apple juice. I guess it is just the family's drink. I had gotten away for apple juice and I was on a cranberry juice kick for a while (cranberry juice cocktail that is) but now I am back. I am going to try to not drink as much apple juice and maybe substitute a glass a day with a glass of water because I know the sugar is bad for my teeth, however it is either Mott's or juicy juice and I am pretty sure they have no added sugar so that makes it ok...doesn't it?

My new plan

Here is the honest to God truth-
On school days I eat breakfast about 4 times a year. That is HORRIBLE I know! The reason is I just don't have time. I am always rushing in the morning. I really want to change my ways and so I have made a resolution...
I am going to make a plan to eat breakfast every morning! I went to bed early last night and I woke up early this morning and I took my time getting ready and I had time to eat and some cushion time to just relax and it felt...
AMAZING!

I love this feeling! Last night I took some allergy medication and it made me sleepy which made it easier for me to fall asleep because I usually have a hard time falling asleep but this helped a lot. I went to the store and bought some Sleepy Time tea today and hopefully this will help me fall asleep tonight and be able to wake up early tomorrow.

Hope I can keep this up!

P.S. I am also trying to be healthy and get on a new diet plan and not eating breakfast really slows down your metabolism and makes a person gain more weight.

My new found love!


Hey guys!
I am soooo sorry that I have been gone for so long. My life has been so hectic lately and I have been running all over the place like a crazy person, but I am back. Last weekend was my birthday and I must say that it was a good one. My friend who has been my friend for pretty much my whole life went out to dinner with my family which was really fun.

My friend knows me sooo well and her present to me was (drum roll please) a M.A.C. gift card!!! I was sooo excited because I knew that the sugar sweet collection was coming out and that I wanted to get at least one thing from it (I am trying to cut down on how much money I spend on make up). After looking at all of the pretty eye shadows and shade sticks I ended up getting my very first mineralize skin finish in Refined.

I LOVE MINERALIZED SKIN FINISHES!!

After the woman at the M.A.C. store explained what they were to me I was in love and knew that I had to have one. I never knew what mineralizes were all about but now that I know I am in love. This product gives my skin this amazing glow that I can not explain.

However, I do have two possible problems with it. No. 1: I do not think that this product last on my face for very long at all. I think that I will need to carry it with me and reapply it throughout the day. No. 2: I may be breaking out because of it. I have NEVER broken out because of a M.A.C. product EVER. I am hoping and I am about 90% sure that it is not the msf that broke me out but the new baby wipes that I used on my face last night. I am going to stop using the wipes for a while and then see what it is.

I hope that this helped anyone who was interested in purchasing a msf make up their mind. I loveee them and I plan on purchasing many more.

Paul Mitchell review


This past week I went "camping" I put it in quotes because it was not really camping I stayed in a cabin but to me that may as well be living outdoors on the ground. On my packing list it said to bring shampoo and conditioner (a no brainer right?), but here was the catch, it had to have no scent. I went all around town the day before my trip looking for a shampoo and a conditioner with no scent. I couldn't find one anywhere. The shampoo can't have scent because the scent will attract insects. Finally, I went by Patty's job and asked her if she knew of anything. Patty said she did not know of anything but pointed me to the travel sized section. After smelling all of the shampoos I came across one that just smelled...clean!

Paul Mitchell Moisture!

This shampoo and conditioner smell very light and clean and do not leave your hair with that very overbearing smell. The bottles say that they are for daily treatment and provide instant moisture. I used these products the whole week and I was very satisfied. For such small sizes they were a little pricey but of course with Paul Mitchell you are paying for the name.
shampoo: $5.59
conditioner: $8.99
Try it out, you may like it!

I'm back!!

I am sorry that I was away for a while, but...I am back now!!!! I will be posting again and my birthday is this weekend so hopefully I will have some exciting things to share with you all!

Garnier Fructis


I have used soooo many products in my life so far that I could not even begin to count. About a year and a half ago I became obsessed with Garnier products and was on a mission to try every product in their "Fructis Style" line. I tried almost everything that they sold. I was in my bathroom doing my hair this morning when I realized how many products I had that I did not even use. I just thought that I would do a couple of list as a quick overview and then reviews will be coming later on the products that I like and even the ones that I don't like. Keep in mind that this is my opinion and all hair types differ, even though I say that I don not like a product does not mean that it is bad.

LOVE/ CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT
Garnier Fructis Leave-In conditioning cream-Curl and Shine
Garnier Fructis Curl construct mousse ( extra strong)


LIKE

Garnier Fructis Long and Strong leave-in Split end conditioner
Garnier Fructis Leave in Conditioning Cream-Sleek and Shine

Hate!!
Garnier Fructis Smoothing milk (strong)
Garnier Fructis Super Stiff Gel (Ultra strong)
Garnier Fructis Fiber Gum putty (extra strong)
Garnier Fructis Curl Shaping Spray gel
Garnier Fructis Curl Scrunch gel

Now these are only a few of the brand's products that I used, which shows I was truly obsessed, I will begin reviews on them soon.

p.s. I am going to be on a trip for a week so this is my last post for a while. I will be posting as soon as I get back!!
