Where Have I Been?

Hey everyone! I hope everyone is well where ever you are in the world.
As of right now, it is four days before Christmas and this post is not meant to bring everyone down. I want this to be a post that is just a simple update and that I will be back and stronger than ever!

Curly Hair Don't Care

Hey everyone. I hope all are doing well and for those in America, I hope y'all had a good holiday.
I just want to say that I know that I have been not posting on here much since I have moved out of state and I am still getting settled and trying to find a job, but I will post about that another time.

But this post is going to be about something that I don't share often and that is my curly hair. In many of my photos and Insta posts, I have straight hair. But on occasion, I do let my hair go natural and curly. Very very curly my hair is and I do take the time to get my hair straight.

Hey y'all. I hope that everyone is having a great day where ever you are reading this. This is a beautiful fall day and it was a perfect day to write and share something that is close to me and something I would pass on to my daughters.

Traditions

Hey everyone. I hope you are having a good day where ever you are. I know here in New Jersey, it is a nice fall like a day in the summer time. I can't wait that fall starts in a few weeks. But I want to talk about something that isn't what I would usually post about. Today I want to talk about something that many families have in common; that is traditions.

Finding Happiness

  Hey y'all. I hope that you are having a great day where ever you are reading this. We all battle through many things every day. By this title, happiness is something that I have struggled with for a very long time. From happiness in my home to happiness in my relationships, it has been a struggle. I have battled through many things to find the place that I am happy in now. I will forever struggle with anxiety and other issues but today, I have found a balance and calm.

Ulta Haul!

Hey y'all. I hope that everyone is having a good day where ever you are reading this. Today is a beauty post clearly from the title of this post. As you are reading this I will be down the shore with my boyfriend, his sister, and my father for an American Legion service. But, I wanted to share with you what I bought and see what y'all think.

9/11

This is a post that I would usual write. This year is the 16th anniversary of the biggest terrorist attack on America. 9/11 is a date that everyone will always remember. I was in second grade when the planes attacked something so close to home. I was in New York City weeks before the attacks. I remember looking up at the towers because they were sooo tall!
I was sitting in my second grade class room when the first plane hit the north tower. Everything was okay. When the second plane hit the south tower, we weren't allowed to go outside. I remember we all had to stay inside and just did work. Then the school was in lock down as word came in that a third plane hit the Pentagon and a fourth plane went down in rural Pennsylvania.
Many parents were calling the schools to make sure their kids were okay. We had to stay until it was okay to leave. My parents were trying to come get my little brother and I but they couldn't.
After every, thousands of people from all over the country came to help search through the ruble. Almost three thousand people lost their lives. And from this the war on terror began.
I can't believe that the twenty year anniversary is in four years and it is always a sad day. I have been to NYC since and been to the Memorial Ponds where the towers once stood and it is a solemn and sad feeling.
I know that this is a sad post but it is something that I loved through. Many of these students today are going to learn and read about it in their textbooks. I watched it all on the news and saw the destruction unfold. The blood, the bodies, the buildings all burning and not a good sight. I hope that we all live and never forget those that died in a selfish attack.

Weekly Posts are coming and my new schedule

Hey y'all. I know that I haven't posted in a long time but I have a good reason to be gone.




I have been planning some posts and spending time with my boyfriend. Driving to and from Pennsylvania has taken up much of my weekends and working like a champ to save my money for something that is coming up next month...


                                                              I AM MOVING!!!!!!!


I am moving in with  my boyfriend in October and I can't wait. Driving to and from is a huge expense because gas is soo expensive and the drive is long-ish. Moving in with him will allow us to spend more time together and not be on Skype everyday; which I don't mind but I would rather have him next to me watching TV.

But, I do plan on putting up a post every Sunday at 3:00PM EST. These posts will range from beauty to DIYs and cooking/baking to health and fitness. I hope that everyone will understand and I will talk to y'all next week!!!

What's My Secret

Hey everyone. In tonight's post, this is about something I wouldn't really chat about but here it is....
Deodorant is something we all use and we all have our likes and dislikes.  Igo back and forth between two brands. Dove and Secret are what keep me dry. They last long and the scent range is amazing. There is something for everyone!

Clairol Nice 'n Easy VoxBox

Hi, everyone. I know that I haven't posted as much but I am HUGE plans that are going to happen within the next few months and I can't wait to share with you. But, as you can tell by the title of this post that is is a review of my Nice 'n Easy VoxBox. But as always, this is my opinion and that I was testing this product through Influester.

In order to get this box, I had to take a quiz and see if I qualified to receive it. Once I took the quiz, I checked my email a few days later and that I was to get the box. After I waited a week or so, I got the box in the mail. I have dyed my hair red for a little over four years now and I have only dyed my hair back to a dark brown once, and it was strange to have my natural color back. Grant it, if you look at my hair now, it looks like there is no color in it, but there is a hint of red. I was excited to see red in the box, but I got dark brown instead. I had to wait to use this for when I dyed my hair. So I used this a mixed it with my hair dye so it would look okay. The process was easy to use and I would buy it again for the right color. 

Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary for testing! 

Influenster Unboxing!

Last month I received another box in the mail from Influenster. This box is called the Twinkle VoxBox and I have to say, the goodies inside were great. For those who don't know what this is, Influenster is a site that lets people review and see many products. You get emails to take a quiz and you might qualify for a box.

Happy New Year!

Hey everyone!
I hope everyone had a great new year! I know I have. I can't wait to see what 2017 has to bring!
