New Beauty Products for Spring 2012! Part 1

As we all know, as of March 21, it is now Spring! And thank you to the 3 Texas sized tornadoes that hit all of Dallas today to remind us that it IS that time of year. I hope everyone has already done their spring cleaning, shopped for new clothes and enjoyed their spring break to shake off winter. Now the only thing left to do is to shake off is those beauty products that were used in the winter.

Let's start with hair!

Hair care is the funnest thing to play around with because everyone wants something different and everyone lives in different areas. Me, for example, I am Puerto Rican mixed with Black, extra soft, naturally curly hair, long length but I also love to straighten it, I live in Dallas, TX where the weather is bi-polar and you never know what you are going to get. So yea, my hair goes through many problems.

New Product That I am Trying Out:
Mane N' Tail

The true reason I want to try this out is only because I want healthier hair. I am a dancer and a model which means my hair goes through a lot. It is prone to split ends and dry spots, chemicals and all sorts of mess. So I've been hearing for years that Mane N' Tail or any other horse hair care products does wonders for your hair.

Most of the time, where you live determines what problems your hair has.

If you live in: Dry areas

And your hair is: Straight
  • Give your hair a boost by using deep conditioner or leave in conditioner after you shampoo.
  • Before and after styling, use a drop of coconut oil or argon oil to give your hair shine and a healthy look

Or your hair is: Wavy/Curly

  • For those who live in a dry area, its perfectly fine to use gel. Just as long as you mix it in with a little coconut oil too
  • Try not to wash it too much or too often.

Or your hair is: Relaxed

  • Dry areas tend to have very dry winds that can damage your hair, so protect it as much as your can
  • Again, a drop of oil will do wonders

If you live in: Humid and Muggy areas

And your hair is: Straight

  • To prevent the big poof from happening, use a touch of hair spray and you should be fine

Or your hair is: Wavy/Curly

  • When styling your curls, use creme styling products. It holds better and gives your hair a more soft and touchable look. It also prevents poof.

Or your hair is: Relaxed

  • Keep some shine spray nearby. Don't drown your hair with it. But just a drop will do.

Part 2 coming up......

Baby Shower Planning: The Basics

As I revealed to you all this past Thursday, I am expecting a baby girl in December. As with any other big life changing moment, there is a lot of planning going into things. I'm planning a baby budget, planning doctors visits and scheduling them around other things I have to do with work and school, planning when things need to be done by, and most of all planning a much needed baby shower. For every parent I think a baby shower is necessary. Especially for a single parent like me. A baby shower gives some time for family members and friends to get together and celebrate the fact that you have a new addition coming soon. Whether its your first child or fifth child, you choose a baby shower that fits your needs. This is my first baby. So there are many reasons behind my shower. As a single teen mom, I need all the help I can get. My family and my baby daddy's family need to get to know each other, and most of all I want to celebrate this new change I am about to e...

Gabriella is 4 months old!

My big girl is 4 months today!!! I feel like crying. As a matter of fact I did. Lol. I can't believe that I'm already "looking back" at her old pictures and videos from when she was a newborn. Now she is just growing by the minute and I thought I was prepared for these moments but it looks like I'm not. I'm already starting to think of her 1st birthday lol. Can't tell the thoughts and ideas of those yet :P This week is an exciting week. Since Gabriella is now 4 months old, she has to get her second round of immunizations. So this Friday we are going to the doctor. And then Saturday we are getting ready to develop her next milestones... starting rice cereal and crawling. :) We're going to take a trip to Babies R Us and buy her a highchair and some baby jumpers and walkers! I'm strangely excited for this new stage in both of our lives. She's become more aware and used to how her new world works. No more swaddling! Sorry I haven't been...

My Last Month of High School! :(

I can't believe that starting Wednesday, it will be my last month of high school. It feels like not too long ago I was in the 4th grade imagining my high school senior year. Now it has finally come to reality. With a few exceptions and changes to that reality lol. I didn't know that I would be going to an arts school, and I definitely never expected to be a high school mom. But all those unexpected things are what makes my life better than expected :) In this final month, there will be so many activities we will be doing so keep checking back later!
