    “YAYYYY!!!! No more relaxers for me!” That’s what I said when I proudly declined a touch up from a box perm my mother was fixin’ to apply to my head. I was 17 and had absolutely no idea what I was embarking on. A life of no relaxers just meant I would wash and blow dry like always right? Wrong. I was a perpetual straightener. I washed, blow-dried and flat-ironed my hair every single week. Every morning? The flat-iron would be plugged in and ready to glide down my semi-wavy, heat-damaged, half-relaxed strands.

    Weather alert! The summer has come to an abrupt end here in Dallas, and fall has set in. I must admit: Most days I love the break in 100-degree weather. The fall leaves and a cool breeze are perfect for a short walk during the day (gotta get my pedometer steps in) or having a cup of tea on my balcony over the weekend. Welp, with colder weather comes the very real need to show my curly, coily hair some attention, and Dove Hair has a new line that will do just that! The Dove Quench Absolute Line is infused with nutrients, protein, and buriti oil, and promises to:

    1) Quench hair dryness

    2) Strengthen the hair shaft

    3) Improve hair manageability

    4) Smooth the hair’s fiber surface

    5) Seal hair cuticles to lock in nutrients

    The opportunity to review this line came just in time for me because, as you can see, my hair was a frizz ball of dryness.

    ipsy Glam Bag Review | June 2014

    June’s ipsy Beauty Bag is here! We’ll it’s been here….I just haven’t posted about it. The delay is partly because I was underwhelmed by the contents. I gave this month’s bag a 1 out of 5 stars….

     I have been using one item pretty frequently. That’s the Skinn Olive & Enzyme Rich Balm Cleanser. It’s been great! The one from the bag also doubles as a makeup remover. The eyeliner, mascara and the lipgloss aren’t any different than anything I already have…and the oil is just okay. I think I’ll start carrying it around in my purse when I need some oil on my cuticles. LOL!
