Just A Lot of...EVERYTHING!

just took a mickey d's run...ate a egg and cheese biscuit, hash brown...and drank a much needed cup of coffee...

princess loves her coffee too...

so it's been a LONG weekend, mostly saturday. i had to work 2:30 to close and we had this GINORMOUS sale so of course it was HECTIC! this makes me a little scared for the day after thanks giving...
but anywho, i'll rewind and start with friday...

FRIDAY

went to class as usual and carbondale did what it does best...RAIN! i was supposed to take back my hollister sweater, but i keep leaving it at home:( i think they made that sweater for REALLY skinny people...it wasn't working!

i had to pick up a few hair things so i stopped by walgreens to get my olive oil hair lotion and remembered...i wanted to try the aphogee stuff. so i hauled it over to sally's to see if they had it (i forget that we have a sally's down here) and after not seeing it and finally asking I FOUND IT! of course they would be sold out of what i actually came for...the 2 minute reconstructor...so i bought the sample with 2 uses and the keratin & green tea spray...

then i had to get ready for my performance for my dance team, sorry no pics, but i did this eye that i ABSOLUTELY LOVED!




afterwards i came home for my weekly shampoo...usual routine is prepoo, shampoo, condition with humectant, deep condition with tressemme & honey, leave-in, air dry, moisturize then blow dry...take all that but add the 2 minute reconstructor after deep conditioning and the keratin & green tea spray after that and i have to say i LOVE the spray stuff, i would have to give the other stuff a couple more rounds to see how i'm truly feeling about it...

deep conditioning and making enchiladas...YUM!

i just really like this one :P

SATURDAY

i fell asleep before blow drying so i had to do that when i woke up, lounged then rushed off to work around 2 something running late...already mentioned how hectic that day was, but i did a really quick haul at target during my break. i needed another makeup bag, but smaller for my lippies, because I CARRY TOO MANY IN MY PURSE! so i got a cute little one that has skulls on it which i HATE skulls and i'm still contemplating blacking them out and cutting it off the zipper...plus i also picked up some honey roasted peanuts ;}

my LIPPIES! they like their new home 8>

SUNDAY

now i'm sitting here letting my breakfast digest and finishing uploading my video i did thursday...i'm without my beloved laptop so i'm using the bf's and his software is older (he's supposed to be upgrading but who knows when that will happen) and the quality of my video kind of, no, REALLY SUCKS! but it's a lip product tag video...

i pre-warn you that i look a lil coo coo in the vid...but i wasn't on anything nor was i intoxicated...it was a NATURAL HIGH...

the tag vid!

that's all for now me lovelies! i have to start on my paper and get some laundry done...

Stay oh so Chic!

MUAH!

Stopping Debt Friday!

so today is another installment of STOPPING THE DEBT!

TIP #7: SET THE ALERTS FOR YOUR ONLINE BANKING!

-many banks have begun to offer alerts systems that help you manage your account anywhere you are! you can you can adjust the alerts to know when money is being taking out, how much is being taken out, who's taking it out, when things post, when you're below a certain amount, when you're overdrawn and so much more! some banks even offer text alerts for no extra charge so you can check up on your account virtually anywhere!

TIP #8: SEPARATE THE NEEDS FORM THE WANTS!

-everyone wants something and we often push the needs aside to get the wants. the wants eat up at the money you DON'T have! before making that want purchase stop and run through the list of everything that needs to be payed for...if you can splurge then do it! but if you haven't gotten the priorities out of the way PUT IT BACK! it'll still be there when you come back. budget a day or two just for the wants so your needs don't get eaten up!

Stay oh so Chic! & Debt Free!

MUAH!

Happy Verteran's Day!!

GIVE ME MORE!

today since there's no school i went for a more minimal fresh faced look...liner, mascara & nude lipstick.

so i picked up a couple of things over the weekend/week so far...it was stuff i either needed or wanted to try out.

so i had to get a clarifying shampoo and got the suave for a dollar and some change

i've been putting off getting the l'oreal carbon black liquid liner and finally got it...love the applicator, i'm wearing this liner in the pic above^


so i've been wanting to try falsies and got 2 nyc lashes for like $1.74 at target...i tried to put them on just playing around and it's NOT working! i think my lahes are too long because they KEEP GETTING IN THE WAY! lol, but i'm def going to get them to work...i'm wearing these bad boys!


the lipstick that i actually order from MAC came today! fresh brew (lustre) is a GORGEOUS nude, LOVE IT! i'm also wearing this in the pic above^

GIVE ME A REVIEW!

i'm finally doing a review on a couple of hair products that i've previously purchased over the past couple of weeks...

i absolutely LOVE the conditioner...i've only used the shampoo once and even with prepooing it still leaves my hair feel stripped. i'm going to give a try again, but the conditioner is total love...you can instantly feel how soft and moisturized your hair feels once you put it in!

i've been deep conditioning with this tressemme conditioner and my hair feels SO MUCH STRONGER! i love the little pump and i feel that i get way more than my moneys worth with this stuff ($3.98/bottle) definitely pick this up! it leaves your hair feeling so smooth, soft and manageable!


i had to get a new SOMETHING for my hair at night. i had been using a silk wrap thing, but by the morning that thing would be on the floor! i picked this silk bonnet tie thing up at walmart for a dollar and some change...LOVE THIS! the tie is so convenient and help to ensure that i wake up with that thing on my head! if you're a wild sleeper i would definitely recommend getting this!

Stopping Debt Friday!

Tip #5: Add Up Everything You Owe!

- Check your statements and know how much you owe each company early so you can pay at least the minimum or more by the due date and avoid late fees. This also helps put into perspective how much debt you have and help you fight the urge to swipe!

Tip #6: Enroll Online!

-Most, if not all, credit card companies have services that let you seeing your statement online before it's mailed. This helps you be able to constantly check your account for spending, balances and even the chance of fraud. So set up those online account and always be in the know of what's going on with your money so you avoid any surprises in the future!

Stay oh so Chic!
