I Spy With My Little Eyes....



Wet n Wild: Club Havana




I was strolling down the aisle of CVS, looking to see what was on sale when I stumbled upon Club Havana by Wet n Wild (more like it found me) and it was only $1.99. It’s a wonderful color for summer; it’s bright, vibrant and fun. I wound up using two coats, but some might be able to get away with one. I got a lot of compliments with this color, next time I’ll try to add a design.

Courage allows the successful woman to fail-
and learn powerful lessons-

from the failure-
so that in the end,
she didn't fail at all.

I'd Like You to Meet...


Shea Moisture was a great find. It has truly helped me in caring for my natural hair.  Last week I went to Target to pick up a few things, and stopped by the black hair care aisle. Currently I use the Shea Moisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie as a staple for my twist out, so I figured I’d give the conditioner a try.

On a Hunt..

Currently I am on a hunt to find the perfect conditioner. While I was transitioning, I had a mix that worked for both my relaxed and natural hair. However since being natural, this hasn’t been the case. Ideally, I would like a conditioner that meets my requirements without the addition of ingredients.

The List
  1.  Moisturize: I want a conditioner to moisturize my hair, by wash day my hair is somewhat dry
  2. Detangle: I want something that gives my hair slip and increases the elasticity of my hair. I detangle my hair only on wash days and the conditioner makes it a lot easier
