Curling Wand on Natural Hair

Red by Kiss Ceramic Tourmaline Curling Wand

This is my favorite curling wand on the planet!! It is reasonably priced. I paid only $24.99 for it at a local beauty supply store. It comes with a heat pouch and a heat protectant glove. It is super easy to use!

This video shows my hair results after my very first time using it. It didn't take me more than 30 minutes to achieve this look. I used nice size chunks of my hair in this first trial try and my hair turned out perfectly!

I am thrilled at how my hair turned out after using this wand. I had no idea that it would give me the wavy look that I've been trying to achieve for years!!

Stay tuned because I will be posting a how to video in a few days!

Lip Montlhy *Overview*+ Sneak Peek

Hi Girly's!

I subscribed to Lip Monthly back in December of 2014 and I decided to share with you what I think about it so far. Lip Monthly is a company that charge a monthly fee in exchange for a bag of lip products. I've received 2 bags so far.

*December 2014* Lip Monthly Bag

Pictured above is the December bag. It contained the following products:

Magnolia MakeUP-Lipstick w/Applicator-$15
Milani-Brilliant Shine Gloss-$4.99
LA Girl-Automatic Liner-$5
NYC-Lipstick-$.99-$2.99

The total retail value of the December bag was $25.98. Because December was my first month, I used a code to get it for $2.99. The monthly subscriptions start at $10. So if you look at the retail price, you got half off of the products if you purchased them separately for full price. Each month you get a new bag and it comes with a card that list each item that's included and the retail price.

It's not too bad if you like to try different lip products a lot. The item that I use from this bag the most is the Milani-Brilliant Shine Gloss!

*January 2015* Lip Monthly Bag

Items included in the January bag are:

Ofra-Lipstick-$19.90
Mica-Lip Color Pot-$14.50
Ecolips-Tinted Balm-$4.49
MMU:Harvey Prince-Fragrance-$12

Total retail price of the January bag is $50.89. Currently, I'm not all that impressed with the items that I have received so far. But I will say that my favorite item in this bag is the Ecolips-Tinted Lip balm. It's pretty good. But everything else is so so. I'm going to give Lip Monthly a few more months to win me over but after that, I'll probably move on to the next big thing!

I'll let you know what I get and you can make a decision on if it's something that you would be interested in trying.

Degree Girl *Just Dance* Deodorant

Hi Girly's,

My daughter, (A'Che') & I were out shopping one day and this bottle of deodorant caught both of our eyes. She has been using deodorant since she was 5 years old and the only brand that I have found to keep both of us dry and odor free has been Degree.

We were so excited to find that Degree has a cool one out that appeals to big girls (tweens)called Just Dance. A'Che' is like most little girls she loves ALL THINGS BLINGY!! What's cool about this one is that it has a little glitter that shows up under her arm. It's not a lot and you can almost barely see it, but it's there! I'm hoping that they add a little more glitter in the future because it's kinda cool!

The most important thing is that it smells great and it keeps her dry and odor free all day long! I thought this was a cool product to share with all of our big and little girls that have to wear deodorant!!

It's awesome that your deodorant can be blinged out too!! LOL

Updated Blow Dry 2015

Brown Girls Hair Blow Dry

Products Used:

Kera Care Creme Press

Andis Hair Dryer

This is an updated version of how I currently blow dry my daughter's natural hair. As you may already know, I am currently using the Kera Care Product line on our hair. I absolutely LOVE these products!! I wish I could get them to sponsor us because they are on the expensive side but totally worth every dime!

Kera Care does have a few other heat protectant products that I plan to try and possibly incorporate during our blow dry time but until then, this is what we are currently doing. I hope you find this helpful.

I also did a review on the blow dryer that we are using. You can watch that HERE if you want more information on it. If you have any questions or comments, let me know. I'll do my best to help.
