So Fickle...

So, in my last post I was talking about how much I liked my weave and didn't know when I was going to take it out, my mind quickly changed. I took it out yesterday and I am so mad I did. It still looked good and I really hateeeee my hair right now. Last night after I took it it out I washed it, did a hardcore protein treatment, attempted to dye it jet black, and conditioned over night. Today I washed out the conditioner, blow dried and flat ironed it. It looked awful so I rewashed, blow dried and flat ironed again lol. I guess I figured that wasn't damaging enough so I repeated the process for the third time in like 3 hours lol. I still was not please with the results but this seems to be as good as it is going to get. These are the results of my last flat iron. I don't know what it is, but my hair does not look or feel like it usually does. It usually feels pretty silky when I flat iron it, this time it is more soft and fluffy. I'm guessing this is a result of heat damage, the protein treatment, or the color. I am also kind of mad because my hair didnt turn out as black as I wanted.I think I might get Senegalese twist next so I don't end up bald, but whenever I get those I end up taking them out after 3 weeks. I am a bit frustrated with my hair right now.

Ignore my face, I was too lazy for eye liner and masacara after my hair ordeal lol

Basketball Wives Inspired Earrings


So, I have never watched Basketball Wived but I love these earrings! I saw similar earrings all over the internet and had to get some for my birthday dress. I ordered mine from Mademoiselle Cafe Au Lait's Chic Boutique on Etsy for 32$. I ordered theBasketball Wives Celebrity Inspired Rhinestone Crystal Hoop Earrings- GOLD Diamond HULA HOOPS in large 3 1/4 inch

The earrings are gorgeous for night or day and do not feel heavy in my ears at all.The seller also has a lot of other nice earrings. I would def order from her again. My items arrived very quickly and the packaging was also very cute (didn't take pictures). Check her out!
ignore my nails, lol they need help

Here are pictures of me wearing the earrings, I hate how my lipstick and cardigan look like they are the same color bc they are not lol :

Back! + 1 month weave update


I finally got a new camera! But, I think I hate it lol. I don't seem to have a problem with outside pictures, but when I take pictures indoors they sometimes come out really red. I like the way the camera looks a lot, it is a FujiFilm finepix s2900, I just don't like how the pictures come out. The camera has more settings than I am used to though so I prob just have to learn how to use it, if any one has any tips please helppp. I was going to get a really nice camera but then I realized this is my 3rd camera since Thanksgiving so I don't want to spend a lot just to lose or break it.I have really missed blogging so much and I have a couple things I want to post about right away! Missikko sent me a flat iron to review, so once I take out my weave  I will test it out on my natural hair and post a review for you all. I also bought a tripod so once it arrives and I do some fall shopping Ill post some OOTDs!

My weave is still going strong lol. It has been a month since I first got it installed and I think It still looks pretty good. Im excited it lasted so long because I only paid 75$ lol. I have washed it 3 times. I washed, blow dried, and flat ironed it yesterday. These pictures are from today. I'm not sure when I am going to take it out. I think I may get another one after I do. I used Outre Remi Yaky and I do like this hair. It still tangles some, but not as much as most. I have experienced very little shedding and I did not seal the wefts. 

I got a little camera happy, but these pictures show how the hair is holding up.


























Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

My Birthday! :And I'm only 23, I'm the shit now look at me, look at me!


I was just listening to Meek Mill on the radio lol
I turned 23 yesterday!
I had so much fun out with m friends. I'm pretty sure I danced the whole night.
 By the end of the night I looked a mess and this morning my ribs and back were sore lol.
I am sooo sad though because I lost my camera in the club. I was planning on posting a FOTD and more pictures from last night and now they are gone :(.  I really thought I looked cute too lol. The picture at the top is from the photographer. The yellow pin said "Kiss me it is my Birthday"!
I wore fake eye lashes out for the first time! I also wore my new Velvet Teddy lipstick. I will do a post on the lipstick and on the earrings which I got from Mademoiselle Cafe Au Lait's Chic Cafe once I get access to a camera.
Over all I had a great birthday and hopefully 23 is my year!

My Friend Meshia turned 23 on 24th! We did karaoke!

Ooh baby let me fix my weave....


I got my hair done Saturday! I forgot my camera at work so I could not take pictures right after. I was only at the Salon for only like 3 hours  which was great, I hate waiting around. I didn't leave much hair out, just the horseshoe. I used 2 packs of Outre Remi Velvet 1b (14 and 16 inch) She layered the hair more after installing. For some reason the 16 inch hair is lighter than the 14 inch even though they are both suppose to be 1b. It is more noticeable in pictures thought, in real life you cant tell too much. I didn't see the pattern she braided but she did sew a net over it. So far I like the hair a lot, It just doesn't hold a curl for too long. I will write a review after I wear it a little longer. 

My dress from Asos also arrived and it fits! Its a little longer than I thought, almost to my knees, but I love it. Ill be posting pictures from my birthday on Saturday!

My hair blends better than I thought it would!

The color difference is really evident here

Have a great night ladies!

Pull Over!


I feel like it has been forever! I miss having stuff to post lol. 
I have wanted yellow nail polish for a while so I picked this up from Target. 
The color is Pull Over by Sinful Colors.
My nails look kinda sloppy and I didnt even do them this time lol they look normal from a distance.
I hate when pictures look nice in my camera then I see them on the computer and they are terrible.
This is a couple days after I got them painted.

Side note: Where has summer goneee?! I can't believe it is August already! I love August though, my birthday is in 16 days! I need outfit suggestions.
