Gettin fine for 09

Slappin: Mikioi: Together Forever

Hey there,

Wow, it's been a HOT minute since I've been on here. These past couple of months have been EXTREMELY hard on me. I've had a lot of sad moments, but things are finally starting to look up. So, that is why I haven't posted any blogs. Plus, ballin' on a budget hasn't let me do haulage in a long time. So, now I'm just workin' and rockin' what I have.

Sorry, but this blog will not be make-up related. Do you guys walk or run for exercise, but hate when you get bit by bugs? I started walking on the regular about five months ago. I wanted to take advantage my new neighborhood and my dogs need exercise. Plus, I just like to be active and I don't have to pay a bill to the gym. Haaaay now! So, I went walking about two weeks ago. Typically, when I walk it's about two hours and eqivalent to 6 miles. Now, that it's summer I like to wear shorts out, because it's hot and I sweat. When I came back from my walk, I was PISSED! I found 3 bug bites on my left leg and 3 on my right. So, I decided to check out a bug spray to see if that would help me, because there is no way I'm going to wear sweats out. I want to tan my legs. haha..

PRO:

- Can be purchased at pretty much any store.

- The smell isn't bad at all.

- This a very inexpensive product. (I got a value pack at Safeway for around 8 bucks.)

- This product works to keep all bugs away.

CON:

-Nada!

I'm going to try to run tonight. Wish me luck! Let me know if you want me to do more fitness posts. I think I'll do this more often, because I love reading tips/tricks on how to stay fit. Do any of you dance out there, because I was going to do a blog about "dancer must haves". Let me know.

Stay blessed!

Get LOUD: Fashion Haulage

Whud up?

Slappin:

Jennifer Hudson: If This Isn't Love

I got these dress about two weeks ago at Ross. I really love this store, because it's cheap and if your patient you'll find some DOPE SAUCE stuff! I got these dresses, because of the print. I don't like to look plain Jane with the gear that I rock. I really like wearing dresses during spring and summer time. You don't have to spend a long time trying to find what to wear and they are really cute. For the spring season, I'd rock a cardigan over the dress, because you might get cold. For the summer, I'd put my hair in a ponytail and be out.

Guess how much these dresses cost. Are you thinking? haha.. The first one was $14.99 and the blue one was $9.99. HAY NOW!

This dress has pockets! HAAAY! Perfect for carrying your favorite lippy. =p

Get that NATURAL GLOW

Good Morning blog heads!

Slappin:

Boom Boom Pow: Black Eyed Peas

*Jergens Natural Glow product review*

Likes:

1. I like the packaging.

2. The products were pretty affordable.

3. You see results in a couple of days.

4. The smell of the product isn't too strong and over powering.

5. The lotion does give a "natural glow" to the skin.

6. The moisturizer didn't make me break out. WHEW!

Dislikes:

**Moisturizer**

1. I have dry skin and this product didn't help. I tried just putting this on and then my foundation. That didn't give me any type of mosture. It just made my skin feel dry and cracky. I tried doing that twice and I got the same results. So, when I use this product, I put JNG first and then my moisturizer after.

Tidbits:

1. If you want IMMEDIATE results, this product is not for you.

2. If you are looking to get darker, this isn't for you.

3. Make sure that you get the lotion/moisturizer that is right for your skin tone. Don't get "medium to tan" if you are light skinned.

4. If you have dry skin, I suggest you put a moisturizer on top of the face lotion.

5. I use these products every other day.

6. These products can be purchased at your local drug stores.

Hopefully, these products will work for all of you too.

MAC Mini Brush Review

Aloha blog world!

[Watching]:
Make Me A Supermodel

Likes:

1. The different colors the brushes come in.

2. They are great for traveling.



Dislikes:

1. The texture of the bristles don't feel like the regular sized MAC brushes.

2. The 187SE doesn't pick up as much product as the regular 187.

3. I feel like I wasted money on buying these brushes.



Tidbits:

Just because these are MAC brushes doesn't mean they have the same quality as the regular sized brushes. You can find cheaper brushes out there that will do a better job. Then again, if you love MAC and just need brushes to travel with then these are for you. I have one holiday set and the HK set. I don't plan on buying anymore of the travel sized brushes. I'd rather get another brand or save up to get the regular sized brushes.

Hopefully, you are all staying warm.

Stay blessed!

Make-up seminar

How'z it?

[Slappin]:

Bow Wow: You can get it all

I hope all of you had a great weekend! Anyhoo, did you hear about Enkore's make-up seminar? If you haven't heard about him he is an AWESOME make-up guru on youtube. He is a really great MUA. You end up learning a lot from his videos.

I'm excited, because it's in the bay. I live like an hour and a half from the location, but it's all good. The seminar is called "Mild to Wild". He is teaching a day time look and then a night time look. So, a look you can wear on the daily and a look you can glam up at night. This seminar is only $50 and I'm like that's dope for us who are BALLIN ON A BUDGET. haha..

I asked one of my bests to go with me and if she says no I'm about to go by myself. I really want to go to step up my make-up skills. Feel me? I'm not sure if it's before or after the seminar there will be a make-up sale. They will be selling products 20-60% off on NAME BRAND PRODUCTS. OH EM GEE!

So, I'll see yall there then. I might be shy to say hi to you if I recognize you from the blog or youtube world, but I'll definitely smile.

Here is the video if you want to check it out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rm5_wJvCK4

Hope yall are staying dry and warm.

Stay blessed!

SOFT ACHES?

Whud it do, boo?

[Slappin]:

Taio Cruz: Like A Star

Ladies, do you walk in heels all day? Are you dancer that could never be a foot model, because of the way your feet look? Have you ever wore the most UNCOMFY shoes to the club and by the end of the night yo feel really hurt?



Well, ladies and gents this is the product for you! I have been dancing for 9 years and my feet have been through it all. From, dancing on wooden floor each week to dancing on a volcano. Over the years, I have developed caluses on my feet. When I'd touch the side of my feet it would hurt really bad. It was SOOO not the BIDNASS! So, one day I was watching an infomercial about this product. I was skeptical about it and didn't know if I wanted to use it. Then last year, I was at Frys and there it was. Frys is an electronic store if you don't know what it is. So, I coped one and decided to try it out. This product is an inexpensive way to shave of your caluses.



Here are my results:



Likes:

1. The packaging is convienient and easy to travel with.

2. The clean-up isn't hard.

3. The results are instant.

4. This product was only $10!!



Dislikes:

ZIPPOLA!!



Directions:

1. Wash your feet.

2. Pat them dry with a towel.

3. Pull of cap.

4. Place metal side on the area you would like to get rid of.

5. Use an up and down motion toward the area. (I usually stop when my foot gets smooth.)

6. Put lotion on them so your feet will be soft.



Tid bit:

Don't pay attention to the commercial, because they EXAGERATE on how much you will shave off. So, don't be SCURRED when using it. You will only taking off a little bit from your foot. I think everyone should or just even try it. Make sure that you have a soft hand when using this product. Don't go crazy and be rough with your feet. I've seen this product at many different places now so go check your local drug store.







Oh, how I love you PEG EGG! haha..






Well, hopefully this helps someone out there in blog land. You'll be seeing posts like this from me. I'm a real female that has real issues, so I'm not afraid to let you know. Ya dig? Plus, I like helping people too. *smiles*



Hope all of you have a blessed week!
