My Hair Care Routine
Finding products to take care of your hair can be difficult, it has taken a lot of trial and error to find products that do exactly what I need. I wear a full head of extensions with some of my hair left out for a side part, at the moment I'm rocking the Brazilian body wave in 18' 20' & 22' from Her Hair Company. I wash and condition my extensions and natural hair with the Tresemme moisture rich shampoo and conditioner. Completely drying my scalp is really important to me, having my scalp dry helps me moisturize better and prevent itchiness. After spraying some Tresemme heat tamer I either use my Revlon blow dryer with the Hairflair softhood dryer attachment or the Conair bonnet hood dryer, it honestly just depends on my mood. After drying my hair completely I use the Design Essentials tonic to moisturize my scalp under my extensions and the Palmers coconut oil to moisturize my hair thats left out. I love to have big bouncy curls, to achieve this look with no heat I use the Motions styling lotion with the Goody flexi rods. I usually roll my hair at night and in the morning I remove the rods and use my Wigo paddle brush to lightly brush my curls out. To smooth out the edges of my hair that's left out I use the Carol's Daughter black vanilla edge control. I do this full wash routine once a week, I use the scalp tonic every day, and I curl my hair with the flexi rods at least twice a week.

Forever 21 Beauty Wishlist
For the past week or so I've been obsessing over skin care and makeup products, I've turned into a real product junkie 😳. On Monday I highlighted the skin care products that I am dying to try. For this Fri-yay post I picked some Forever 21 Beauty products that I thought were unique and could actually help my skin.
I really like the idea of balm cleansers, this peach scented Scinic cleanser claims that it will replace your regular liquid or wipe cleansers.
This lip gloss is super cute, I love thats its watermelon scented with hints of the infused florals.
I've never used a peeling gel cleanser before, this cleanser contains grapefruit extract, AHA, and BHA that are all supposed to help renew, moisturize and sooth your skin.
I love anything that is supposed to make your lips softer. This lip sheet mask is enriched with shea butter, cranberry extract, jojoba oil, and vitamin E. Its supposed to hydrate dry, cracked and chapped lips. After using the product your lips are supposed to be left moisturized and have a light red non-sticky tint.
I'm loving the packing of this lip gloss, I like that it has a roll on applicator with a bottom push button.
My love for face mask continues with this sheet mask that contains milk protein extract that is supposed to brighten your skin.
I really want to start using under eye mask in my skin regime. These under eye gel pads contain ginseng and eucalyptus that are supposed to help soothe and reduce puffiness under the eye.
This pack of cleansing wipes contain cocoa shea butter that helps hydrate and soothe skin when your removing makeup or just need to cleanse your face.
This container of patches can be used on your eyelids and under eyes. Its meant to provide intense moisture and provide a cooling effect.
This balm and hand cream claims to be a 2-in-1 lip balm and hand cream. Twist opening the black cap reveals the hand cream thats supposed to provide hydration and smooth dry hands without stickiness. Twist opening the clear cap reveals the lip balm to help keep your lips moist.
Another day another sheet mask, I like that this mask contains Moroccan clay, charcoal powder, and volcanic ash. The mask is supposed to lift, firm and improve the elasticity of the skin.
I did not know there such things lipstick wipes, but the idea is genius. The oil-based wipes remove lip products while also forming a barrier that locks the moisture keeping your lips soft and supple.
This clear mascara says to be formulated with seaweed extracts that help prevent brittleness and dryness of your eyelashes. My lashes need all the help they can get!
Anything that has tea tree oil in it is something that I have to have. This clearing toner claims to reduce irritation, redness and itching of skin while also cleansing your pores.
This gel lotion cleanser contains aloe extract, tea tree oil and orange blossom oil. I like that its a gel cleanser, anything gel automatically has my interest.

Summer Topshop Wishlist
To start the week off, I picked some Topshop clothing items that I've been lusting after. Topshop always has the newest trends and styles, you can always rely on them to have something that you have to have. With fall a couple of months away I'm loving summer to fall transition pieces that will work well while its still summer but will also be great as fall rolls around in September.

August Wishlist
It's already August and it feels like the year is flying by! To start the month off I made a wishlist of ten things that I'm currently lusting after. Check my list below!
| First on my list are the Jeffery Campbell Jova Flower Slide Sandals in black velvet. I've been obsessing over slide sandals, these Jova slides look comfortable to wear and I'm loving the velvet flowers. |
| Second on my list is the Miss Dior Eau De Parfum, I've always wanted to try Miss Dior, the scent is described has a citrusy and jasmine blend sprinkled with fruity notes and hints of patchouli. |
| Third on the list of is the Glam Glow Supermud Clearing Treatment. I've always wanted to try the Glam Glow masks, this clearing treatment is meant to target, prevent and heal problem skin. I'm hoping it can help with my hyper pigmentation and large pores. |
| Fourth on my list is the Kate Spade New York North/South Smartphone Crossbody Bag. I know the idea of having a bag just for your phone is a little extra...but I'm a extra person 😜. The bag fits the iPhone 6/7 and 6/7 Plus, its made of leather and has three card slots. I think it would be a great bag to carry my phone, card's, and ID when I just need the essentials for running errands. |
| Fifth on my list are the Spitfire FTL 2 Sunglasses. I love mirrored sunglasses, these silver Spitfire sunnies have a metal and acetate frame and at a price of $45 they seem like a really good deal. |
| Sixth on the list is the MICHAEL Michael Kors Rhea Backpack in small. I really want a full leather backpack that won't cost me a a arm and a leg. The MK Rhea looks like the perfect bag that can carry all my stuff but still have the style and quality that I like. |
| Seventh on my list is the super chic S'well Stainless Steel Water Bottle in yellow gold. I love the look the S'well bottles, they are supposed to keep cold drinks cold for up to 24 hours and hot drinks hot for up to 12 hours. |
| Eighth on my list are the ASOS Cuve Ultimate Fit Skinny Pant. I like a well fitted pant, these look good to dress up for work or make it more casual like the model does with the white tee and the denim jacket. |
| Ninth on my list is the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer. I've heard many good things about this concealer, I'm always looking for concealers that have good buildable coverage. |
| Tenth on my list is this super cute ASOS Curve Sushi Print Pajama Set. I have a slight obsession with pajamas, when I get home from work the first thing I do is change in to my pj's. I really like t-shirt and short pajama sets they are the only things that I like to sleep in and the cuter the print the more I have to have them. |
