Egg Facial




I have finally found a cheap and easy facial that I actually enjoy. Not to mention, you can do it at home so that's always a plus. I usually do this after I get out of the shower when my pores are nice and open.

1st- I take one egg and crack it open.
2nd- Split the egg whites and the yolk into 2 separate bowls.
3rd- Take a fork to the egg whites. When you see bubbles you know it's good to go
4th- Rub the egg whites on your face, keeping away from eyes of course, and wait until its dry. You can always use the "smile technique."
5th- Wash it off with warm water.

For step number 6, take the egg yolk and rub on your face and allow to dry as well. And rinse. The egg yolk will act as a natural moisturizer.


After the egg facial, I usually follow up with a green tea ice facial to keep the moisturizers locked in. To make the Green tea cubes just follow these few steps

1. Take a glass of water and put it in the microwave until its warm.
2. Open a green tea bag and pour the contents into the glass.
3. Stir.
4. Pour the contents of the glass into an ice cube tray and freeze.

Just that simple!

Hope this helps! I know after countless tries and remedies that did nothing but either dry my face out or make it very oily, I have finally found one that gives me what I need!

Equipment Failure

I have had numerous blogs in mind. Quite a few, really. From clothes, to shoes, to new smashbox makeup I'm over the moon about (EEEEE!), my hauls and blogs have become less and less. However, I do have a very good explanation... My camera is broken. Seriously fried. I cut it on to take the pictures and the screen just went completely fuzzy and wouldn't even take a picture. So, getting frustrated with it, I turned to my trusty blackberry. Yeah, well so much for that, it won't even let me send pictures to any of the 10 email address I have. So I am literally up the creek without a paddle. The last haul I did with the lotions and hair products I actually had to go and copy the pictures off Bing (sorry Bing I didn't cite you for them) but I have alot of new outfits and shoes and I can't do that with them =( So ladies, I regret to inform you that I shall not be doing hauls until I can get equipment that isn't completely lame. I have been looking at a Nikon D3100. =) My birthday is coming up in less than a month.. shall we say "happy birthday to myself?" hehe! 

As for what I'm listening to right now.. bringing it back old school! Enjoy!

Save the Day

Hi Dolls!

I went out shopping this afternoon and managed to pick up a few goodies. I went to Bath and Body Works and picked up the Aromatherapy lotions Sensual Blackcurrent and Vanilla and Stress relieving eucalyptus Spearmint. They smell devine! The Spearmint will definitely open up your airways that's for sure and the blackcurrent helps strike the mood ;) or soooo the bottle says (hehe). Anywho, I also picked up one of their new fragrances called Country Chic (Chick or Sheek is debatable on pronunciations.) Then, I mozied over to Wal-Mart to pick up some Tresemme Heat Tamer and Coconut Milk Anti Breakage Hair Serum. The Heat Tamer I see used by everyone on YouTube and they absolutely swear by it so I'm gonna make a bold switch from my CHI heat protectant and try this out for once. The Coconut milk nourishes hair while the other ingredients (egg whites, shae butter, and coconut oil) add strength and hydration. I have also heard alot of good things about this too so were gonna see and I will keep you guys updated! I did buy clothes and a few pairs of shoes but that haul will be saved for another day!


 Now for a sweet story, While leaving, I ran into a bit of trouble. My car wouldn't start! The wires that connect the fuse box to the battery came out! I was stranded.. Then, along came a very hunky Army Soldier to help me out. He then proceeded to explain what the problem was and told me how it could be fixed. Then drove me across the road to buy a new wire and he spent an hour fixing it for me =) Needless to say, he got my number and I owe him dinner. Wonderful end to a Monday wouldn't you say?!

Bad Hair Day

Vitamins, shampoos, heat bans... why aren't they working!?

My hair refuses to grow.. I have tried everything I can think of and quite frankly, we have a very strong love/hate relationship...  I watched a few YouTube videos today on "tips to make your hair grow." In every one of them, the following was listed: Heat ban came in at #1.. (ha, with my Foxy in Goldmember frizzy hair.. I don't think so) drinking lots of water followed closely in 2nd (I have about 8 bottles a day, A DAY!) and a nice trim every 6-8 weeks. Well, at the rate my hair grows, if I trimmed it every 6-8 weeks, I'd be bald. I have tried vitamins too. Been taking Biotin for about a year.. Still nothing. My hair has grown 2 inches since last august. Anywho, the reason for my post is basically just to rant about my hate more than love relationship with my hair and share this awesome song im currently listening to. =)
I first heard Mumford and Sons on my trip to Seattle.  Absolutely Fantastic..

[ Insert Topic Here ]

When I created this blog, it's intended purpose was to give my opinion and perspective of all things beauty and fashion. As I look back, I have come to the realization that, as I do have a fond love for fashion, writing about it is just not my forte.  I always dreamed of being a big magazine editor in New York. "You watch to many movies," all of my "supporters" would tell me. "You shouldn't belittle yourself pumpkin, your going to med school!" My dad would say. Well, sorry Dad, getting pregnant at a young age demolished all my hopes and dreams of starring out of the window on the 23rd floor of a skyrise with an awesome view and my name on a gold plaque, as well as your hopes of me being Dr. Tiffany. Now, as I sit here, starring starry-eyed over other well accomplished Youtubers, Tweeters, and Bloggers, I realize I am not them, nor will I ever be them, no matter how hard I try. As far as I'll go, im sure, is my desk in my manager position at an insurance agency. A job that I loathe, because of the mere fact that it is not me in any fashion, and stuck here, in this place that has been dubbed "the circle of hell" by all who come through. My life right now can be summed up pretty easily, stuck, like a rock on the side of a riverbed. Oh, I got distracted, anywho, the point of this blog is to reiterate my plans for it. It won't be about any ONE thing in particular. I believe a great blog is made up of a variety of topics. It would get boring after a while, wouldn't you say? If I just so happen to run to the store and buy a makeup product, I may just so happen to do a review on it. If I read a good book (Pride and Prejudice at the moment) then I may just so happen do a review on that subject. Or, if I feel giddy and decide to make up something totally random to entice you lovely readers, I may just do that. Now, to bid you farewell for the night and leave you with a music video =) Enjoy!

What's Acceptable in the Fashion World?

Cosmo, Glamour, Allure, Vogue, these are all magazines women deem as their bibles. Everyday, the pages of the magazines are flipped through, drooled on, and dog-eared with the hopes of one day looking like the models in these magazines. Everything is about what's in and what's not. Personally, if I walked down my street in a potato sack, the next outfit I would wear would be a straight jacket. But, have Alessandra Ambrosio walk the runway in the same sack, she is labeled a "style icon," a woman EVERY woman wants to be. An idol. It's the name she wears. She is known for her job. Sure she is beautiful, but I have met alot of beautiful women who demean themselves because they think they "can't compare to a supermodel." Everything is about sex-appeal in today's society. Women try so hard to be something they aren't that it leads to dangerous repercussions. I am certainly no supermodel, that I can accept. Would I like to be one? Of course! Who wouldn't!? I admit, I do flip through the same pages thinking "wow, she is gorgeous. I wish I looked like her." Fact is, not every woman is 5'10" and 105 lbs. That's just what the image of women is. Young women are getting boob jobs, tummy tucks, nose jobs, botox, ect. to try to be like these women in magazines. Surgery of any kind is dangerous. We have all seen the editorial in the gossip magazines about a tummy tuck gone wrong or a lop-sided silicone boob. The worst part is the younger generation. The pre-teen girls who are picked on and teased at school because they are slightly larger than other girls their age. That kind of teasing can lead to them harming themselves or other people. In today's society, women and young girls, are all made to think they have to be perfect to be beautiful. Maybe soon we will all see 5'3 160 lb girls walking the runway, even if it is in a potato sack.

SOS Fellow Bloggers!

Ok, I realize it has been ages since I have made any kind of effort to even show you guys that I am still, in fact, alive. I have been super busy with everything! Although I live RIGHT next door to work now, it seems as thought my schedule has gotten fuller! How is this? Anywho, I have tried a few times to post, but it always ends the same; me starring at the blinking cursor in the Title line. =\ Well, today, I need your help. It's gotten very warm here is good 'ole Alabama and I haven't exactly had time to coordinate my spring closet. I do, however, have numerous pairs of shoes I have YET to wear. One style I have had immaculate trouble with; booties. I cannot seem to find a way to coordinate booties with either a dress, skirt, or shorts!! Sure, the picture in my head looks great, but when I put it on my body, yea not so much. This is where I need your help. Can you guys give me some tips and/or pointers on how to put booties in my spring and summer closet?

  Is this really acceptable in the fashion world?
