Foundation.

For a long time there has been something bothering me. People seem to have this strong opinion about people wearing foundation. Well, to that I say, Its none of your business what other people do! If its looks bad, fine, state your opinion. But, don't make it seem to be such a bad thing for other people to do it. It really gets me that most of the people who say negative things about it are people with flawless skin! You don't have a reason to wear it so of course your going to look down on people who do, but you shouldn't. I have been struggling with acne scars for years. I've been to the dermatologist, tried hundreds of products, and they just don't go away. On top of that, there are hundreds of things I can't use because my skin will break out. So when I became of make-up wearing age I was interested in covering the thing that bothered me most. People do it ALL the time in other aspects of their lives. No one complains about people covering their real hair with weave or their real nails with acrylic. Now in the beginning I would use heavier stuff from MAC, for a while using their liquid foundations and I admit, that was a bit much. But as I became more educated on make-up and more interested in the art itself I started using just a light mineralize powder-type foundation and I see nothing wrong with that! If there is something that makes you happy and makes you feel happy about yourself and it doesn't look bad, then do it! After being faithful to MAC I've recently switched to Bare Escentuals foundation. Its natural and my skin does actually do better with it. Its very light and it only calls for a little bit. It's def a keeper. If someone has a problem with that then oh well. The point of this is, just be mindful of the things you say because you can be putting someone down, don't generalize, everyone has their own reasons for the decisions they make in their lives.

new project =)

new project= making hair accessories. I cannot find any in stores that I want to put in my hair, so hey, why not try making my own right! I know what I like best! Sooo here goes nothing...

Current Regimen

I talked about the products I used so now I'll share how and when I use them! On Sundays I shampoo my hair with Curls cream cleanser. Then i deep condition with Olive oil cholesterol conditioner, i let it sit on my head for up to an hour with a conditioning cap on and then I rinse. At night I moisturize with shea butter and sleep with a plastic cap on, under my bonnet. (this is new for me but I like how my hair feels in the mornings as opposed to when I did nothing) In the mornings I co-wash with herbal essence hydralicious...I put it on my wet hair and wash it off at the end of my shower. Then I take a dime sized amount of the kinky-curly knot today and rub it throughout my hair and detangle. Finally I take small amounts of the eco-styler gel and run it through my curls in little sections. When I've finished my entire head i spray with the shea moisture moisturizing spray. The end =)

The products I use!

I LOVE the current products I am using! So I wanted everyone to know about them! For shampoo I use CURLS cream cleanser which is now available at target!!! For conditioner I use Herbal Essence Hydralicious, this is by far the best conditioner I've ever used in my life! I highly recommend it to everyone!!! For a leave-in I use Kinky-curly knot today! It leaves your hair soft and managable! I use eco-styler olive oil gel to define my curls and i love it! I tried kinky-curly curling custard and ic fantasia gel before using this one and they fail to compare. Lastly, I use 100% natural shea butter to moisturizer my hair or shea moisture moisturizing mist! All of these products work great for me!

Im bakk i guess.

So my last post I said I wouldn't be on here for a while because of person issues I'm dealing with in my life. Im still going through a rough time but im back. I've finished my transitioning journey by way of big chop and I am a newly 100% natural chica! i must say I LOVE it. it is sooo much better. Here are sum pics!

depression

i cannot explain the feeling i have, so i may not be blogging for a while. But if im up to it i will...

Vitamin...

Yesterday i posted that I would try biotin for hair growth, but today at walmart all they had was the 5000mcg bottle and im afraid to take THAT much a day even though they say its okay. Instead i bought a hair, skin and nails vitamin from target. It says to take 3 per day, which will provide 3000mcg of biotin along with a lot of other things to promote growth in hair, nails and skin. I replace my women's one-a-day with this because it contained just about all of the same vitamins. Let's see how this goes!
