Good morning beauties❤️
Today I’ve got a vibrant spring time makeup look to share with you all. Spring is almost at its end but this look can easily transition over to summer. It’s a blue eyeshadow and pink lip combination.
I love these colors together. The hair is the same twist out I talked about yesterday. You can check out that post here if you missed it.

Happy Monday luvs,
I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day Weekend. Mine was great, but more on that later. I decided to go with a twist out this weekend for the simple fact that it’s quick easy and super cute.
I used one of my absolute favorite product lines for moisture, OGX Quenching Coconut Curls.
These products are so rich in moisture and my hair LOVES them. I cleansed and conditioned my hair with the shampoo & conditioner and then applied the Coconut Milk Anti Beakage Serum. I love using this product to help lock in moisture.
Next I installed medium size twists using the Curling Hair Butter. This product has a lot of slip and feels really good on my hair.
About these twists though, so much life!! With my new much needed cut, which you can read more about here, they were the perfect length to pull forward.
The next day after applying a little extra coconut milk, I unraveled these bomb twists for my day 1 twist out. Nice definition and a decent amount of texture for day 1. Ya’ll know I love lots of texture!
Day 2 Was similar to day 1, but had a bit more texture.
And day 3 is my favorite day for texture. It’s just bigger and better!
OGX Curling Hair Butter is pretty much my go to for twist outs these days.
If you haven’t tried this line of products I definitely recommend it.

Mother’s Day weekend always reminds me of how worth it these last 9 years 7 pregnancies 5 losses and 2 Miracles were. I’m so grateful for my boys. It was a rough ride getting them here but I can’t imagine my life without them. If you haven’t heard my pregnancy journey story you can watch the video here.
Sitting around watching them play this evening put such a big smile on my face
It’s definitely rough at times but I can’t imagine life without them. They both brought me home goodies today that were beyond sweet
I’m going to attempt a little Mother’s Day photoshoot tomorrow and hope to share those with you all next week. Until then I wish you beauties a very happy Mother’s Day weekend
XOXO

Happy Friday Luvs,
Today’s post is about yesterday’s glam look. It was actually pretty simple but really beautiful. At least I loved it…lol. The highlights were a wing liner using Wet n Wild MegaLiner and my new ColourPop Cosmetics Ultra Satin Lippie in the color Marshmallow. If you missed my ColorPop Swatch video you can see it here. Here are some pics.

Good morning luvs,
Today’s post is all about color damage. Over the past 12 months I have experimented A LOT with color. I’ve had a lot of fun with my hair color and have enjoyed the looks I’ve attained immensely. I always knew going in to coloring my hair that getting color damage was a possibility. I made the sound decision to do it anyway. I chose to share this story with you all for several reasons
Since I posted the video on my YouTube channel las night, there have already been some strongly opinionated comments made, which I know is inevitable. I just want to make sure that it is clear that coloring my hair was my choice. The same as going natural and getting and undercut were my choices. I stand behind my choices completely and was prepared to face the consequences of coloring my hair from the moment I did it. And most importantly, I AM NOT traumatized by this experience. I’ve been natural for 5 years and consider this as another part of my hair journey.
Here are some photo highlights.
First color treatment. Hair still thick and healthy
When I first brought in the gender blonde. Still thick & healthy
My hair finally at the color I was trying to achieve
A comparison from a style after just the first color treatment vs when it started to thin out after the last color treatment. Same style, totally different look.
My stretched hair comparison
My color damage at its worse
I have now cut all of the damaged ends and am continuing to help restore my hair. More to come on exactly what I’m doing to do that.
I hope that you all find this helpful. To see my full color damage and restoration story and how I cut my hair click here.

Hey luvs!
Yesterday I had a major come to Jesus with myself about my hair. Major deets on that tomorrow, but as a result I ended up doing a blowout and single flat iron pass on my hair.
Creative styling on straight hair is a ton of fun for me. I have lots of tips on things you can do to make straight hair just as fun as super textured hair that you an check out here.
For today, I decided on a simple single flat twist with a whole lot of dimension thanks to my bomb hair color. The color really makes this basic style not so basic. Here is the final look.

I had the pleasure of trying out a new lippie from an up and coming brand. Kerry Kosmetics has some beautiful lip colors that are super vibrant and glide on perfectly.
I tried out the color Surise. It’s a stunning orange shade, great for the spring and summer seasons. After coming off of a long weekend spent with just me and by boys this gorgeous lipstick is helping me get my life today!
