Hello everybody. I know I have been a bit distant this week but I have been running around going to different interviews. Hopefully I get a call back, fingers crossed. Anyways I had  my eye on the Ombre look for a long time I had seen many celebrities with this type of hairstyle. I decided after months of trying to decide if i would get it or not. To go to  my local drugstore and buy the L'oreal Paris Ombre Kit. It's price is around 13 dollars. which is way cheaper then getting it done at the hair salon, that was a big plus for me.

  On Friday night while watching mean girls I decided to try it. Imagine me sipping wine with the gloves on. Here is the thing I have never dyed my hair by myself and the last time I decided i wanted to color my hair was when I was 15 years old. I wanted highlights, I basically had to beg my mom to get streaks in my hair. All I had now was my natural hair color. So i was scared that my hair wouldn't take the color.

I followed all the instructions which they are pretty easy. I parted my hair and started dying my hair using the brush it brings. Which it's great because you can do a subtle look or go all the way. I waited for 25 minutes as it says and checked it then I waited for another 5 minutes and washed it off with the conditioning shampoo that it brings. I was a bit scared after washing it off, but when I blow dried and  flat iron my hair I was happy with my new look. My friends couldn't believe i did it on my own. I am happy with the results and with this kit. Is affordable and it leaves you with a new look.

Pardon the pictures I was so happy that I took them really fast.

Soooo if you want that Ombre effect for this fall go for it. It is stylish and affordable.

Sun Care Protection For A Healthy Skin During Summer !

Now that summer is finally here everyone is ready to enjoy their summer by attending beaches, pools, parks or simply walks with the family. I have to admit that sometimes i tend to forget to take care of my skin. I have extremely sensitive skin and just for being half and hour outside i am already sun burn and i recognize it when I am applying lotion on my body by feeling the burn and itch and we all know that's no fun. I have decided to write a post on how  I personally protect my skin and hair from the sun.  Our skin is the largest organ in our body that is why it is really important to treat it well. Especially us girls we want to have an impeccable skin. 

These are my must have on my everyday daily life. Sun hat I tend to carry mine during the summer not only is it stylish but it also protects my hair from getting all sun burn I also use on my hair a sunscreen mist. it is lightweight and it protects hair from sun exposure and it minimizes damage or dryness.  I also apply every time i can a lip balm that has SPF 15 such as the Burt's bees lip balm it is pretty affordable and can find it at any drugstore. 

The number one product here is the Face and Body sunscreen I try to use one that has a high SPF and also rich in vitamins such as the brand SUPERGOOP!  I love it ! it is light and drys up in seconds. I also use Evian face mist. It is great to keep your face and body hydrated. And last but not least a good pair of Sunnies and plenty of water during the day the sun can cause dehydration and we don't want that we want a fun and exciting summer. Enjoy !

Favorite Hair Products For This Summer

Hi y'all !! this week I decided to talk about my favorite hair products that i have been using lately. Lets talk about my hair..... ugh one of my biggest challenges. I have long, dark and curly hair, that means that in the  summer my hair is basically up most of the time or on a side braid or ponytail. Having curly hair I have to hydrate my hair because it tends to be a bit dry. I would buy the most expensive hair mask to keep my hair hydrated and feeling silky. As I have said before I like to use organic and natural products on my hair. well i try...... so this summer i decided that I want to show off my natural curly hair and not be afraid of getting to puffy or tangled. 

I have been hearing for a long time about Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray at first I didn't believe in it but last week when I bought it I gave it a try and I have to say that it is addicting I simply LOVE it. I use it on damp and dry hair. After I blow dry my hair I spray a bit to the end and wrap it up in a bun and WALA after 10 minutes I have beach waves and when I have damp hair my curl hold on together and look fabulous.  I am in love ! this is one of my new favorite hair products. My second favorite product is the Bumble and Bumble Sunday shampoo. This shampoo is great for once a week, I use it twice it does what it says it cleans your scalp and hair from all of the products you have been applying to your hair to keep it together. It smells divine and you only need a bit to wash your hair. I was a bit scared due to that I have a lot of hair and the bottle is small but I still have more than half. 

And the last product I recommend is Coconut oil. What can I say I use it to cook, as a moisturizer and also as a hair mask. I apply it before washing my hair for 20 minutes. Then I wash it off using my regular shampoo and I love it it leaves your hair super soft and it smells  AMAZING !! Plus coconut oil is great nutrient for your hair it helps with the growth of your hair. and its even good if you have dandruff. So If you haven't tried it and you want an inexpensive hair mask try coconut oil. the jar cost me less than 6 bucks at trader Joe's. What a Bargain !!

So what are your favorite hair products for this summer ?

First Birchbox Ever !

 

 This week I have been home due to that I injured my back on my way to my job. I didn't put mind to it and I ended up going to the Emergency room on Sunday how fun. I was in serious pain i couldn't sit or lay down or go up and down the stairs It was pretty bad after waiting I went in and the doctor  said I had an inflammation and I had to rest for 3 to 4 days without working out or going  to school. I decided today since i didn't have nothing to do to write a review on my first BIRCHBOX ever. I am so happy i joined I was like a little girl asking my mom everyday if my Birchbox had come. It finally came like 2 weeks ago I was so excited to open it. Out of all the products that it brought my absolute favorite is the new Nexxus Youth Renewal Elixir I am in love with it after applying it one day my hair looks more shiny and healthy. It is light and it smells delicious. I also loved the StriVectin- SD eye cream. I know that this sample will last me for a long time, you just have to dab a bit under the eye and massage it. I have notice a difference under my dark circles. so that's a win win.
