Say whattt?!

Bah, so unfortunately Series Saturday has taken to the back burner again. Reason being is I have absolutely amazing pictures of the nail polishes in the bottle, but I am having trouble getting clear pictures of the polishes on my nails or even on Chris' nails. (Yes, he let me do his for my blog posts.) Its starting to become really annoying, so until I can get clear, good pictures my nail  polish series is on the back burner. Also, I have a lot of discontinued nail polishes. So, I would feel bad that you wouldn't be able to readily get them without having to scour Amazon or Ebay. Do you think I am making a good decision, or do you not care if there are discontinued polishes?

I started up a new email for my blog, since the email that was originally supposed to be for it, just turned into my everyday mail .. email. Lol. So the new email is auttywblog@gmail.com . If you have any requests or suggestions you can always just send me an email. :)

I also am wanting to kind of go back to my roots and stick to drugstore stuff. I was switching between 2 blogs today. Temptalia and Nouveau Cheap, I realized that I found more "drugstore" products that caught my attention then the "high end". I'm still going to talk about high end products, but I kind of want to go back to do drugstore stuff. We will see what happens though. I've got about the same amount of stuff from each so maybe I will keep it a lovely mix. That might work out lovely!

I've got a blog sale coming up pretty soon. I just have to get good  pictures of the products themselves and figure out pricing. I'm going to have makeup high end and drugstore, clothing, maybe even a purse or two. =^_^= If I can part with them that is. Haha

I'm also going to do recipes or maybe a food related post or something. I really love talking about food and sharing my opinions and things like that. I really just love doing it. I'm not a "foodie" but I just have a passion for cooking and things like that. I just thought it would be a really neat thing to do once in a while. Opinions? Maybe that is what I will do on Thursdays, not every Thursday but just once in a while. :)

Oh, I'm probably not going to be doing my weekly deals on my blog, I think I might just keep them for my Youtube channel. I just recommend checking out Nouveau Cheap's blog posts about that. Her's are way more in depth then mine probably ever would be.

I'm also starting to feel like my blog is too "formal" and there really isnt much "me" in it, except my reviews and such. Hopefully I can turn that around and make my blog more interesting to read for everyone! =^_^=

Anyhoodles. That is really all for this random Saturday blog post. :)

I hope you are all having a lovely lovely day or night! <3

Five Fav's Friday!

Hey Lovelies! So the day is here, favorites Friday!

This week has been kind of eventful and kind of not at the same time. :P

My first favorite is Ninth Gate. It  is an amazing movie with Johnny Depp in it, its also old (1999) as well. :P No, I just don't like it because JD is in it <_< >_> *coughcough* Haha, but no really, its an amazing movie and I totally suggest that everyone see's it!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="214"] Source IMDB[/caption]

№2 are the Quaker Stila Oat Clusters in Cranberry and Yogurt. Oh my ever loving everything, these are AMAZEBALLS. Yummy yummy! They are so addictive though to be completely honest.

№3 Tropical Storm Debby. You may think that I am crazy, but I absolutely LOVE tropical storms and hurricanes. Now, they do cause some inconvenience, but I really do absolutely love them!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="380"] Source nola[/caption]

№4 Water. Something so simple has been my absolute favorite this week! I have been drinking so much water that it is not funny! It is so yummy and it is definitely good for you! So if you are not drinking lots of water everyday, you definitely need to start!

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="320"] Source google[/caption]

№5  Mario Badescu Glycolic Acid Toner.  I absolutely have been loving this cleanser. I use it 1 to 2 times a day, depending on my skin. It as completely changed my skin from how it used to be. This product is absolutely amazing!

Review: Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love

So about a month ago I went to Walmart and decided that I wanted a matte top coat. Reason being was that I have been really into matte nails lately and don't want to go on the hunt for a matte nail polish, they can get pretty expensive. I knew Hard Candy had a matte nail polish, but I couldn't remember how much it was. So off to Walmart I went! Now, I know some people HATE Walmart because theirs are shoddy and gross, but the ones near me are really nice actually. So I dare to brave them, even at 3am :P.

Anyhoodles. So, this nail polish is only $6! I know it may seem like a lot, but if you think about it, its really not. Considering the price of some actual nail polishes by themselves, or even a regular shiny top coat can be more than $6, its crazy. Thats beyond the point.  This bottle had a little cardboard box on the top of it and it just says NEW Matte Top Coat. Give any color a matte finish. The top coat itself its cloudy and not clear, so when I first bought it, I thought it was going to mess up my nail polish. Needless to say, I was a bit uneasy about it.

Boy oh boy was I surprised! This is an amazing top coat! Holy crap, I am not even going to lie! When I use a regular shiny top coat, my nail polish can chip WITHIN HOURS, but using this my nails take DAYS to chip! You better believe I will always have a bottle of this in my nail polish arsenal! Now just  as a warning, I did find a nail polish that was still shiny looking under the top coat, so that was a bummer. Then again its not a big deal to me. 1 or 2 nail polishes not look 100% matte, I can deal with that. Its not like I bought the nail polish itself to me matte. Pft no. =^_^=



For $6 you get 10.3 mL or .35 fl. oz. The bottle itself reminds me of an Essie nail polish, but that is another blog post.  All in all, I give this Matte Top Coat a 10/10. I really do love it and I love how it makes me nail polish last more than a few hours. Its definitely worth the $6.

Now, for those of you who do not have a Walmart near you, you are kind of out of luck with this unfortunately because it is exclusive to Walmart only. Unless you can find it on Amazon or eBay. That is the one thing that does kind of stink about it.

The nail polishes that I used along with Matte-ly In Love were Rimmel London Lasting Finish Pro in Violet Metal & Sally Hansel Xtreme Wear in Crushed. 

Tip Tuesday - Oily Skin

Heya !

So for those of you who don't know, I have oily skin. In some ways, its a good thing and in others, its more annoying. But I am here to get you some tips about oily skin!

№1 - You definitely need to moisturize oily skin. If you use a harsh cleanser on your face it will dry out and if you do not moisturize it, your skin will wind up producing even MORE oil than it had before. Just stay away from heavy moisturizers that contain shea butter and petrolatum. Those may cause excess sebum production for oily skin. That is a definite no-no right there. No extra oil needed!

№2 - You don't need to just oil free products. I thought that will oily skin, using products that were not oil free were bad for your skin and would clog pores and all of that gross stuff. Actually however, even though a product may say "Oil-Free" on it, there might be some type of oil lurking in the product anyways. So for oil skin I would look for something that says Shine Control or use products that help combat oil. Like blotting papers.

№3 - You do NOT need to use a toner or an astringent to balance skin. For me personally I never used a toner or an astringent. I always felt like they dried out my skin. Weird huh? Well, all skin types can use a toner but for oily skin it would be best to just use it on the "T-Zone". For me I use a Glycolic Acid toner and it helps to cut through the oil and grease that my face produces. Its fantastic!

Other tips for oily skin is if you have a true oily skin use a cleanser that contains Salicylic Acid, it will help reduce the oil production. I would also definitely carry around blotting sheets if you worry about your oily skin through the day. They can be a life saver sometimes!

Don't forget to MOISTURIZE your skin! By moisturizing daily, you will regulate your oil production so it doesn’t overproduce oil.

Influenster 2012 Mom VoxBox

Heya Everyone!

I qualified and was chosen as well as tons of other members of Influenster to receive the Mom VoxBox. Not sure why, but I am not complaining at all. :)



This is everything that I got in my box. After I uploaded the picture collage, I realized that you can't really see what 2 of the products are. Le fail on my part. Now out of this box I have never tried only 2 things. The Stash Tea and the Dish Drying Mat. Everything else I have tried on previous occasions and LOVE IT ALL.

Now as I type this, my dishes are drying on the mat and I have a cup of tea brewing. :P I wasted no time. Haha.

In my box I got::

Dish Drying Mate

A bar of Ivory soap

Stash Tea Sampler Superfruit Teas. 6 flavors

2 Packets of NekTar Honey Crystals.

DenTek flossers

Quaker Soft Baked Oatmeal Raisin Cookie. 

ImPress Nails in Stiletto 

I wasted no time when I woke up with the cookie. I don't even like Raisin's and I nomed it down pretty quick. It was AH-MAZING!!! It was sweet and you couldn't even taste the raisin's.

The Ivory bar soap I am going to wind up giving to my parents because they use that stuff religiously. Unfortunately for me, I can't use it. It and my allergies do not play very well! Haha.

The Dish Drying Mat is so soft! So far I am insanely impressed with it! It came at the right time as well! It was so hard to dry my crock pot because it took up and entire strainer so I always had to do it and let it sit then do the rest of my dishes later. It fits perfectly on the mat with extra space for our glasses! I am totally impressed so far!

ImPress Nails in Stiletto. These at first, I thought were an ugly color, but the more I looked at them, the more I absolutely love the color I got! Oh man, they are so pretty! I have had these before and I wore them around Christmas. They lasted for a week which I thought was just a gimmick. I gave them a pretty rough beating though just to see if they could handle it and they could! I actually had to just take them off after a week actually.:P Love these bad boys!

The NekTar Honey Crystals is something I have never seen before. Crystallized honey?! How weird, but let me tell you this smells amazing! Holy crap, just like honey. One packet equals 1 teaspoon of liquid honey.

The DenTek flossers are amazing as well. These are so much more easy then using regular floss. I really love them. There were 2 packs of them, but in the collage I couldn't fit the other pack. They were just the plain white ones.

As for the Stash tea, I've never tried it before. I've seen other people talk about how amazing it is, but I am excited to try it myself now! I am getting ready to go get my cup as we speak! =^_^=  Mmmm! Oh my goodness! The combination of the Pomegranate and the Raspberry is amazing! Especially with the hint of Honey. I think I may have found a new favorite tea company! Yumo!

The one thing that I really like about this VoxBox is that if I want to go and buy anything again from this box, it is all affordable and anyone can go out and buy anything from this box and not break your bank.

Now I am not getting paid or compensated to talk about this box. It is actually required when receiving a VoxBox to review it. I qualified to receive this box.

If you would like to sign up for Influenster and see if you qualify for any upcoming VoxBoxes go HERE

Shoutout Sunday - Nouveau Cheap

So, my first Shoutout Sunday is for the blog Nouveau Cheap . If you have never heard of G's blog you are behind on the times sweetie!

The one main thing that I love about her blog is that she blogs about drug store things only. In her "For New Readers" section on her blog she says that she rarely blogs about anything over $20, unless it is something "high end" then she is telling you how to get it at a discounted price. That, I absolutely love! I know for me personally, I can't go out and spend $50 a pop on something. I absolutely LOVE saving money. You should see my face when I look at my receipt and it tells me how much I saved. The best feeling in the world! :P

I absolutely love her little piggy as well in her header and how all over her "O"'s are pennies. Seriously, how cleaver is that?!  I've been reading her blog a lot as of late honestly, it has been where I have been going to get my fill of products, without having to buy anything. She has also helped me pick and choose what is worth the money or not worth the money. Like the new Revlon ColorStay Whipped Creme Makeup. I wanted that so bad that it hurt, but when I read her post, all of my wants for it just went out the window, especially because I have oily skin as well. So, I am greatly thankful for that because its around $14 or $15 here.

Her pictures are absolutely stunning. When I can get a nice enough camera, I would love to be able to take pictures of products like that. *envy* She also gives a lot of info and its just awesome.

You definitely should go check her out! Her blog is amazing and she is such a lovely woman! :)

Tip Tuesday : Cleaning tip!

Hey everyone, so sorry about no posts Sunday or Monday. There is just a lot going on over here and was not really up to typing them up. But today starts a new day and here is my Tip Tuesday!

So everyone has those baking pans (jelly roll pans, sheet pans, cake pans, cookie sheets, ETC.) that are so yucky looking that its embarrassing to pull them out or use them really because you just can't get them clean. Goodness knows my 2 jelly roll pans are like that! They are so yucky looking that its kinda sad. Granted that is how I got them from my Mom, but I thought that nothing would ever get the crap that was baked into them off.

The picture I am going to show you is the pan dirty, I wont lie, its pretty dirty and the stuff is kind of burned on to where I would have to soak it to get it off. Ick! I had the oven on too high lol. Oops!



Anyhoodles, you are only going to need 2 ingredients. These you can find in any kitchen and medicine cabinet.



You are only going to need 1/4 cup of Baking Soda and enough Hydrogen Peroxide (any percentage) to make it into a paste. Obviously you are going to need to mix this all in a bowl. :P

You can just mix it with your fingers and apply it to the pan with your fingers. Its really that easy!

Now, if you have little tough spots that are hard to come off, you can definitely use a toothbrush (one that no one uses) or a sponge with a scrubby pad. Goodness knows I used my fingers and the scrubby pad on the sponge. Oh my goodness! It was amazing! I never thought the pan would be shiny looking again!

You can let this sit for a little bit if you would like, but remember since its a paste it will wind up hardening. Also, the corners and the side are going to be the hardest part to clean, so be prepared to devote some time to cleaning this. Its not just going to come off as soon and you put it on. This pan needed some serious scrubbing. If you let this sit make sure you apply it a bit thick to the place where you want it to sit, that way it will not harden. It will loosen up the spots a bit more than if you were to just immediately scrub.



I cleaned "half" of it just so you can see the difference! How crazy is that!

I first saw this on Pinterest and I'm not sure who originally thought of this, but I wanted to try this out and just HAD TO SHARE this! It was awesome! Now you can use this to clean just about anything actually. You can use it on your stove, anything stainless steel, to remove hard water stains. It works on a lot needless to say.



All clean! Im not sure what that black spot is and it wont come off, but at least the pan does not look so gross! Now don't expect it all to come off. As you can tell in the bottom left corner there is still a spot there. The corners are very hard to clean, like I said before, but this one was extra hard to clean. I wound up giving up on this one and just called it a day. I am still extremely happy that the rest of the pan is not as gross as it was before.

I hope that you all try this on your dirty pans and like it!

Review: SunFX Body Shimmer Lotion

I had never heard of SunFX before BeautyArmy honestly. When I saw that everyone was getting tan things and things to help keep their tan, I knew it was probably a company I would not be interested in. Reason being is I don't try and keep my tan. Living in Florida, I don't need to try and keep my tan. Its kinda easy, so I don't redily look for tanning products or products that enhance the look of your tan.

When I saw the Body Shimmer in my selection to pick, I figured that I would give it a shot. A little shimmer on the body is never a bad thing, especially for a night out. So I chose it and when I got it, the first thing I did was smell it (like I do with everything) and it smells AMAZING. This has Macadamia Oil in it, I personally don't know what macadamia smells like, but let me tell you this lotion smells AMAZING! The smell honestly reminds me of when my Mom used to use those tanning oil's to help keep her tan and everything. Thats what it reminds me of.

The lotion itself is white, but you can tell there is some serious shimmer in it that makes it look a silvery white. I didn't notice this the first time, because I didnt look extremely close. Now let me tell you, be careful with this stuff. When I applied it, I put it on my legs first after I shaved and didn't really pay close attention to them, because... well they are my legs. Now when I looked at my hands I was like .. o.O maybe the shimmer just stayed on my hands, kinda weird but okay. So I went and washed my hands and went on my way. Well, this kind of sat in my box of things that I needed to review, so I tried it again and I instantly wanted to walk out into the sun and scream "I AM EDWARD!!!", unfortunately for me it was 10pm, so that was out of the question. I literally had looked like I rolled in glitter, it was absolutely horrifying! I instantly ran to the shower to wash it all off.

That is the reason that I would stay away from this honestly. The moisturizing aspect of this is amazing. I really enjoy it. Its not too greasy, but it helps my skin stay and feel moisturized. So that is something good about it.

I know a lot of people really love that shiny covered in shimmer look, for me personally. I don't. I thin kthat this is an amazing product, just for me, I felt like I was something straight out of Twilight. That is really the only downfall I find with this product, if it didn't has as much shimmer shoved into this, it would be perfect! Personally I am not into self tanning, I never was and honestly probably never will be. Why this ended up in my selection window, Im not sure, it kinda feels a bit random to me anyways.



The "deluxe sample size" of this is 65 ml or 2.2 fl oz. This is a HUGE "sample". The full size of this is 200ml or around 6.8fl oz (dont quote me) and it retails for $24.95. The full size itself is huge!

You can purchase this HERE or on BeautyArmy's WebStore

Tips Tuesday! Rubbing Your Eye's

New blog day? I am thinking yes!

My tip for this Tuesday is to don't rub your eyes.
I have allergies to everything, so I am forever rubbing my eyes like crazy, Im fighting it as I type this. My eyes itch so back that I just want to rub the crap out of them so they stop, BUT I know it is bad so I am trying to break the habit.

Why is rubbing your eyes bad? Well, it can cause inflammation to occur, which can make your eyes or even your lids red. Cataracts and keratoconus can also be linked to rubbing your eyes as well. No one likes those bad boys, they are a pain! I've know lots of people with them and they succcck!

It can also contribute to drooping eyelids as we age. You don't want to be like Meryl Streep in the movie It's Complicated. Going to a plastic surgeon to ask about your drooping eyelid. (I love that movie and that was the only reference I could think of) haha, no one wants to have to deal with that!

That is really my tip for this Tuesday! Don't rub your eyelids!

 

 

Series Monday: China Glaze Tronica 2011

The China Glaze Tronica collection came out in 2011, I got these shortly after the collection came out. I have 8 out of the 12. I am missing Techno Teal, Hyper Haute, Electra Magenta, & Gamer Glam. I didn't even know they had them at the time. I wish I could get them! :(



I am going to tell you how many coats each takes to be opaque.
High Def - (Medium Blue Holographic) - 2 coats
Mega Bite - (Gold Holographic) - 3 coats. I did 3 because you could still see light through the tips of my nails.
Hologram - (Silver Holographic) - 3 coats. You could still see a bit of the nail bed after 2 light coats.
Virtual Violet - (Dark Purple Holographic) - 2 Coats. I definately could have gotten away with 1 coat, but I did a second as a precaution.
Digital Dawn - (Dusty Rose Holographic) - 2 coats. I could have gotten by with just 1 coat since the nail is so short, but I did a second, just to be on the safe side.
3D Fantasy - (Red Holographic) - 1 coat. Depending on how thick you apply it, you can most definitely get away with 1 coat.
Cyberspace - (Light Taupe Holographic) - 2 coats
Laser Lime - (Lime Green Holographic) - 3 coats. (I did knock this nail as it was drying. Hence the missing spot of polish on the tip)



The first thing I want to say about the China Glaze polishes is that the dry time of these polishes are amazing! These ones in particular. They quickly dry and that is something I really appreciate! This collection in particular is probably one of my favorite formulas of China Glaze, I'm not sure why, but I really like these a lot.
These look amazing without a top coat, but with adding a top coat the holographic aspect of these polishes look absolutely stunning! I did not add a top coat to the first set of pictures, because I wanted you to get the effect of them with and without the top coat.



I do know that if you go on Amazon or eBay you can still find these polishes, so that is nice!

Virtual Violet is probably the most used out of all of them with Cyberspace coming in close second place. I actually found that with Virtual Violet it has started to go a bit thick, which is an easy fix.

Now on my thumb on my left hand I used Digital Dawn and I applied a matte top coat to the thumb. I did this, just so you could see what it looks like with a top coat, matte or shiny. I didn't do it with all of my fingers because that would be a lot of putting polish on and taking it off. As you can tell, I do not have those nail wheel things.

As you can tell with the matte top coat (thumb), it looks okay, but the holographic aspect of this polish is greatly muted. All in all, I would not suggest putting a matte coat over these, it just looks a bit absurd.

As for the shiny top coat,  you can tell that it absolutely enhances the holographic aspect of the polish and makes it pop even more than it does WITHOUT the top coat. Definitely recommend this!

I don't have swatches of these on my nails yes, for some reason the holographic aspect would not come through on my camera. I will update as soon as I get swatches.

Shout out Sunday

So I want to start a new thing. I'm really getting back into the swing of blogging. I don't want to blog every single day, so I am giving myself a couple days off from it.

When I was at work I was putting my blog schedule in my calendar on my iPad and I thought, hm, could I do more blog posts? Since my personal one didn't go over well....well I'm not sure if it did or not honestly, I didn't get much of a response from it. So, I figured that on Sundays I would do something called Shoutout Sunday.

I will talk about a person, blog or company that I want to give a Shoutout too. No one will be paying me or anything of that nature to talk about them. This will all be on my own doing and all in my own opinion. The reason I wanted to do this, is to give just a Shoutout to people. I'm not really sure why, I just though it would be something really fun to do every Sunday.

You can recommend people every week and I can check them out and feature them one week. I know I am not a popular blogger so, it's not like it would make a huge difference. Just something fun I thought about doing to do something different on my blog since I want to do more than just beauty. I want to do things that relate to life in general, even though my main focus will be beauty!

That is really all I wanted to talk about in this blog. The official "shoutouts" will start next Sunday!

I hope you all have a lovely day!

Random Saturday - Nightmares

As a little warning. Some parts of this blog post might not be suitable for all ages. Just a warning. :) Its nothing naughty, but just one particular nightmare I had as a child that is a little big gruesome. Thank you for reading! <3

I don't want to be one of those bloggers that you don't know anything about, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a blog like this to get to know me and my background a bit. Starting from the beginning.. obviously. What is your opinion on this? It would be lovely to have some insight on things.

.

This is something I literally never told anyone at all. Not even my therapist when I had one for the short time I had one in high school. When I mean I never told anyone, I mean it.

When I was little I used to have the most horrid nightmares, they would come almost nightly. And when I say horrid, I mean it. Think Saw kind of horrid. Now, I am not sure why any of these started and they probably lasted until high school. I used to say a little prayer when I would go to sleep, and a lot of the time when I said it, it would help me go to sleep and sometimes I wouldn't even dream or have nightmares. (Thankfully) This is what I used to say ;

"Dear God, please don't let me have any good dreams or bad dreams and please don't let me have any good nightmares of bad nightmares"

(Now don't go all god doesn't exists blah blah blah. I've never been really religious, but I believe that there is some type of god out there. That is beyond the point, I just don't want to hear it. Take it somewhere else)

My Sister used to make fun of me for saying it, but it really gave me some kind of peace that I more than likely wouldn't have any type of dream or nightmare. Another thing that would happen, is my nightmares would scare me bad enough I wet the bed, I wet it well into 7th grade. It was embarrassing, but you know what, it happens.

I am glad that saying that little thing would give me some kind of peace at night, thinking about it now, it's probably why I am so paranoid and honestly such a night owl. I personally don't like sleeping, if it saves me from nightmares, I wont sleep. Yes, I am 21 years old and my nightmares from when I was a child still come and scare the living shit out of me. Sometimes its better for me to just not sleep because then I will be so exhausted when it comes time to sleep that I just pass out and don't dream. I know it's not good, but that is just how my body is used to functioning honestly.

The majority of my nightmares always involved my immediate family (Mom, Dad, Sister, Brother) sometimes even my animals. There was always "bad men" in them, I never saw their faces or who they were. They always ranged in height, build, and skin color. There was always 2+ men there.
One I remember so vividly after all of these years were there were these "bad men" and they were chasing my family and I around the house and I wound up hiding somewhere. I watched them drag my sister outside screaming and kicking, now me being in elementary school, I was just a child so I didn't know what to do. I snuck outside and I saw my family, my mom, dad, brother and sister all strung up with these huge hooks through their backs, they were just hanging there outside on this line that was connected between our house and a tree. They were all almost dead and I just stood there dazed. I just wanted to drop to my knees and cry, but one of the men saw me and I ran and wound up jumping on his back and fighting him off. Don't ask me how, I just fought him off and he ran away. I hid again and watched the other guy take my Dad off the line and put him in this huge boat of ice. I got so angry and upset that I wound up fighting this man off too, there was nothing I could do for my family though. Through all of this time they had all died. That is where I woke up.

Honestly, say what you want about that, but it terrified me enough to stay with me all of these years. There are many more that I remember, but I am not going to tell them to you. One way or another they always wind up with my entire family or someone from my family dying. Its horrid. I don't know what brought them on. When I was young, I was terrified of watching scary movies. I refused to watching them. I didn't get into Horror movies until I was in High School. A few times the dreams recurred, but the majority of the time they were all different.

I am not perfect, I never was and never will be. Honestly, I am probably more emotionally fragile because of these nightmares that happened all of those years. They can really mess a person up.
Honestly. you can unfollow me, stop reading my blog, unsubscribe from my Youtube channel, but you know what, at least I am being real and not hiding things. I could have just put up some stupid post that probably didn't mean anything to anymore (not that this one probably will) but you know what, then I wouldn't be who I am. I can do more personal blog posts like this if you would like. You can all see what it is like to be me, inside of my mind and brain. I have gone through a lot in my 21 years, I know a lot of people have probably had worse problems than me, but I've hit rock bottom before and have slowly rebuilt myself up to the person I am today.

Would you all like to see more posts like this on Saturday's or should I just leave it at this? What is your opinion?
I don't want to scare you all away, but I also don't want you all to think that I am happy 100% of the time in my life and that I live a dandy bloody life. I really would love to know your opinions.

Thank you for reading this post about my nightmares and what I used to deal with as a kid. I hope you all have a lovely night, day, evening, morning, whatever time it is where you are!

Take care!



Is there anything particular you would love me to talk about one Saturday? Let me know down in the comments.

5 Things Friday

1. I can't decide if I want to dye my hair lighter or darker. The other day when I was in the car with Chris, I had a revelation that I am kind of over having dark hair. So I really can't decide if I should just stay with the dark hair or dye it lighter.

2. South Park. I have no idea why, but this week I have been obsessed with South Park. I have already seen every spisode MULTIPLE times, but at night I find myself listening or watching the episodes.

3. DSi. I have been obsessed with my DSi lately. I've been playing the crap out of Pokemon. I wont lie. I love those games haha. I also have an awesome "game" that is full of recipes. Its pretty sweet and the recipes are AWESOME

4. Rain. Wait, rain? Yes, rain. It has rained the good majority of this week and I honestly have quite enjoyed it. Its been nice to have some rain, the humidity is not wonderful, but the rain is lovely!

5. Snickers Peanut Butter. Ohmygoodness! These are absolutely ahmazing! Its like a mix of a reeses and a snickers, its orgasmic! :D the perfect marriage! haha.

What 5 things have you been loving this week?!

Review: Jason Pure Natural Shampoo Restorative Biotin

The Jason Pure Natural Shampoo Restorative Biotin retails for around $8.97 for 16 oz. . This can be bought at http://www.jason-natural.com or a a variety of other places online.
Yes, I did get this as a Klout perk, but I was also in the market for a new shampoo, so I was very grateful to have the opportunity to try this. I do want to say right off of the bat, that I have tried this and I gave it to my parents to try out. So I will be giving you my opinion of this as well as my mothers.
For myself, I found that with this shampoo I could skip using my conditioner and my hair still felt soft and amazing without it. Not as soft granted, but still soft. My biggest gripe with this shampoo was that is flared my dermatitis up and made my scalp oily. So, I would say that if you have dermatitis, an oily scalp, or dandruff period, I would be careful with this, that is just my suggestion though. Other than that, I absolutely loved this.
I love that is that it is natural and that it has biotin in it to help strengthen hair. I also love that it "gently cleanses as it restores healthy strength to weak, damaged hair. The thickening properties Biotin and Vitamin B5’s revitalize hair’s elasticity. Ginseng and lavender extracts help repair split ends and minimize future breakage. Fortified with energy, your hair looks healthier and grows stronger." Yes, I took that from their website, because I found that it was the best way to describe it without making it too long and drawn out for no reason. :)



Now as for my Mom's side of the review, she was having a bit or problem with the shampoo. It tangled her hair up. She loved the smell of it, but the fact that it tangled her hair, kind of turned her off to it. That is all she really had to say about it haha.

All in all, I think that this is a really nice shampoo but if it didn't flare up my dermatitis and make my scalp more oily, I probably would have used it all up instead of giving it to my Mom. The scent of this is kind of like baby powder mixed with something, I am not sure what that something is though! It kind of reminds me of something Citrus. Its a nice scent though. :)

Did you you get this Klout Perk? Have you tried this shampoo period? I would love to know what you think about it!

Blog Schedule

Herro!

So, I have started a new blogging schedule. Its going to be every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday.

Why Friday? Well favs Friday, I just decided to do a blog Friday and Saturday. I need to get my butt boogie-ing on some blog posts! :P

I honestly was not going to do a blog post today because of my eye. Your eye? Yes, my eye. I have no idea what is going on with it today. I woke up twice and it was basically glue shut. No, it is not pink eye. They think it might be a severe allergy thing, although, I have never had anything like this happen and I am allergic to everything outside. No lie, I should be living in a bubble. Thankfully, I am not deathly allergic to anything, so I can live without allergy medicine. (#rebel) haha.

Although sometimes, its annoying, but hey, its what I gotta live with! So you may be wondering, why I didn't go to the doctors? I have no insurance, plus, they would probably tell me the same thing that the Pharmacist told me, then try and sell me a bottle of $30 eye drops.

No thank you. I will just buy the $5.99 bottle of Visine and have a $2.00 off coupon, thank you very much. :) Although, I did have problems using it, I kept missing my eye! Bah, first time using eye drops. LOL. It was quite comical.

Enough about my problems. I can't wait for Wednesdays post! :D Its going to be a review on the Jason shampoo :)
