Thanks for stopping by again Love my over the knee boots from Mandee. I purchased them a couple years ago while pregnant. Tip: don't buy shoes when pregnant. Your feet will be swollen and you may purchase the wrong size. Lol Although with very thick socks the boots fit pretty good 😃 ...with leggings ...with jeans and a t shirt ...with a dress ...with leg warmers I played around with the editor a bit for these looks  ;) Which look is your favorite?

Natiral Hair Update + Style (+ product rating)

Image
Hey. thanks for stopping by Bin rocking braids (I installed) for almost 7 weeks. This past Monday I cut it into a lob (long Bob) I actually really liked it and was surprised the braids didn't unravel on their own. It might be my next style. That way I can save $$ by doing it myself. Length check. The front on my hair was between my eyes before I braided up. OK so I use Hask shampoo and conditioner.Pretty good stuff! 7.5/10 I deep condition with this Miss Jessie's rapid recovery treatmen t 6.5/10. I sit under my heat cap for 30mins Rinse- Freshly washed hair. No product First time using this Shea Moisture castor oil line (used the brand before). Heard so much good things. Then I apply some coconut oil to scalp and hair. I section hair as I go, applying my styler- ORS smooth and hold pudding. Love this. 9/10 I twirl section around, not the usual two strand twist and secure with a rubber band I let dry for ...

Mini Braids~ Style Ideas

Here are some quick simple styles I came up with. These can be done on any style of extensions (mini braids, chunky twist, jumbo braids etc) one canerow/cornrow on each side connected at the back with a rubber-band (or anything you wish) loose basket-weave on the top held together with hair clips one big canerow/cornrow starting from top of head to other side-secure end with rubber-band same style as above, take end of braid and flip it to the other side- secure with hair clip or bobby pin for this top knot/ ninja bun I gathered the hair to the top of my head, spin it around itself forming a bun and secured with a woogie/ pony tail holder Necklace| H&M  Lippie| NK 'black orchid' lipstick & NK 'Precious' lipgloss Hope you were Inspired :) Blessings J

Straw Set ~ short natural hair

Image
This style was a long time coming. I put it off because I knew it would take up a lot of time and would be quite tedious to accomplish, especially on short hair. Well my cousin offered to help. Four hands are better than two (in this case) so we went for it. State of Hair - dry, stretched and sectioned Products Used - small straws (cut in halves and thirds) -coconut oil (for scalp) - As I Am twist define cream -gel -comb -bob pins Time - about 2.5 hrs Set Time - from about 6pm-1.30pm (next day) Next day Results 2nd day Results Thoughts I had a lot of flake-age the next day. The straws and clips were extremely uncomfortable to sleep with, BUT I will try this style again in a couple months using different  products and probably bigger straws ;) Blessings J
