Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver, and the other's gold.



Hey guys!

Every morning when I am doing my hair I reach for my old, true, and loyal friend.

My "Lady Catherine" hair brush from Stanley brushes. I have had this brush for about two or three years and I love it. The brush is so sturdy, the bristles are strong, and it really does the job. It seems like all of my female cousins have this brush and it just works on all of our hair.

HOWEVER, for a few years now I have been seeing and hearing about the "Mason Pearson" boar bristle hair brush. I have heard really good things about this brush and I have wanted it. There is only one problem, the brush is a little pricey. I was thinking about asking my parents for one for Christmas, but with the economy in such bad shape, I feel bad asking for such an expensive hair brush when I have a perfectly good one.

The large brush runs for $151.00 and the detangling comb is $26.00.

Should I try something new, or stick with what I know works???

The "Lady Catherine" runs for $16.49 from the Fuller Brush Company.

Lashes that kill


Hey guys!

A few weeks ago my mom and i went to Sephora because she said she was going to get me a new make up product as a small gift. I really needed a new mascara so I went over to what I like to call their "amazing wall of mascara." At Sephora they have a guide on the wall listing around 20 mascaras and what each does.

I like mascara that thickens and lengthens. I had heard a lot of good things about "Make up forever smoky lash." I looked at the guide and it told me that the mascara does everything that I want so I decided to try.

And I LOVE it!!

The mascara gives a really dramatic look, which I love! The brush is made out of thick plastic squared out bristles.

Overall I love the product, but there is one problem, the product is very thick which makes it difficult to remove.

On a scale from 1 to 10 I would rate this product an 8 and a half.

Sip Sip hooray


Hey guys!

I drink A LOT of tea. I am not a fan of coffee, but I love tea. One of my favorite tea stores is "Lupicia." I get so excited when Christmas time comes around because they come out with their line of Christmas teas. My favorite is their "White Christmas" black tea. The tea is a mix of white chocolate and apricot. I love this tea because not only does it smell amazing but the taste doesn't have the strong, sometimes bitter taste of black tea.

As you pull the cup to your mouth you get to smell the amazing white chocolate scent that is just amazing!

It's like Christmas in a cup!

If you are a tea lover, I highly recommend this tea, and even if you are a coffee drinker, since this is black tea it might be a little more your speed.
