mixed girl hair: How to maintain or revive your curls

mixed hair is beautiful embrace your curls. i know its difficult so i put  some tips together on how to have amazing mixed hair hope u enjoy !! 

1. STOP straightening your hair. What ppl fail to tell you is the more you straighten your hair the faster it dies and eventually all falls out and you look horrible. If you must use heat on your hair use it at a lower setting and put enough heat protectant in your hair to save it it. Chi is a great iron and it has a great heat protectant conditioner to use with it. 

2. CONDITION it like crazy. If you are like me you wash your hair then it gets dry. You need a kick ass leave in conditioner or creme that will moisturize it. Without it your hair will break and you will wake in the mornings and half of your hair will be on your pillow starring up at you.

3. KEEP THE WEAVE OUT! Mixed girls. We do not need weave. First of all weave will pull your hair out. It also keeps you from actually washing it the way you need to. If you need to do anything wear a lace front wig and call it a day or even better a novel idea JUST WEAR YOUR OWN HAIR. Clip in extensions are fine as well. 

4. Watch the elements. Keep the sun off it. If you are gonna be outside for a long time wear a hat or scarf or just wear a serum in your hair that has sunscreen in it. If you swim a lot deep condition your hair or wear a cap in the pool. 

5. Wash your hair every other day. This will keep it from getting too oily and keep the dandruff to a low. BUT do not use a shampoo with sulfate in it. WHY? Because it will strip the hair and eventually strip the curly texture and leave it looking sad and flat. Use a light sulfate free shampoo every other wash. Pair it with a deep conditioner and leave in. Also watch what ingredients are in your products alcohols and other certain ingredients are a big No No. 

6. Brush your hair and wrap it. Before bed brush your hair a lot. Not hard just light enough to get the conditioning product throughout. Then wrap it in the certain braided style that will give you pretty curls in the morning. 

7. STEAM your hair. To help with damage and so on put in a deep hair mask I suggest Hair Growth Treatment by: Lee Stafford or Macadamia deep repair mask. Get a pot of water and heat it up 3 to 5 minutes. Put a medium sized towel in it and ring out out then wrap the conditioned hair in it turban style. Leave on 5 to 15 minutes then rise off. 

8. MINT. Products with mint in them will soothe your scalp and help with build up. It also opens up your pores allowing your hair to grow through. It may sting if you stratch a lot though so be warned. Dr. Miracle is good As well as Seabreeze. But only use seabreeze about once a week because it has alcohol in it and thus can be too harsh if you use it too often. 

9. DO NOT PERM YOUR HAIR. I know a lot of girls who get perms and then want to look crazy when they cannot achieve that natural curl any longer. Perms are too harsh and may ruin your natural texture. Also watch what your hair stylist uses. Certain products may work for one type of hair but not on mixed girls hair. Do your research on the tools and products they recommend because they will f*** up your hair when they don’t understand it.

10. Trim it every 6 months that is a given.

revlon nearly naked foundation review

so i heard a lot of good things about this foundation and i wanted to try it. i mean what could be better then a foundation that has good coverage but has that no makeup look. i went to boots with my friend i sore this on the shelf. it took me a while to find my shade. but i finally picked 190 true beige. now when i first tried it i was quite worried because the consistency was very liquidy. but it glided on my face effortlessly. i was quite shocked. it blended into my skin well and it didn't look cake. i think this is the perfect foundation for when you don't want to wear a lot of makeup or if your in a rush. its just amazing.

one thing i don't like which some of you might is theres no pump. so you've got to be very careful you don't get so much or to little. also the white cap when you twist  it on the foundation bottle it docent twist all the way. 


i give this foundation a 3.5/5 the foundation is amazing and lasts long but the packaging i am not to found of.


bye guys v ~xoxo

the fame game book review

so i love lauren conrad. when i heard 
she written a new book series i had 
to read them. theres two out(the fame game , star stuck) and the
last one is coming out soon so check back
 to read a review on the last book(infamous).

anyway on to the review











so the fame game is a trilogy. the first book is called the fame game. its basically coming from la candy laurels previous book trilogy that i personally haven't read so if your like me and haven't read the la candy series you don't need to to understand these books. so i put the blurb here for the fame game =


Madison Parker made a name for herself as best frenemy of nice-girl-next-door-turned-reality-celeb Jane Roberts in L. A. Candy. Now she’s ready for her turn in the spotlight and she’ll stop at nothing to get it.
But with backstabbing friends and family, relentless paparazzi, and tabloid scandals she can’t control, Madison is going to have her work cut out for her. Plus, there’s a new nice girl in town – Carmen Price, the daughter of Hollywood royalty – who’s a lot more experienced than Jane was at playing the fame game. . .
Filled with characters both familiar and new, Lauren Conrad’s new series about life in front of the camera dishes Hollywood gossip and drama at every turn.

to be honest i was a bit sceptical only because its a celebrity fiction book so i didn't know if i would like it. but i am so glad i red it .so i loved this book and the end to it was so unexpected .when i finished it i ran like a mad lady to go buy star struck .it goes deeper into fame and how it can make your life or destroy it. i was hooked to this book. i couldn't put it down. it shows a lot of how reality shows are made. i learnt its not so glamorous being on reality tv. and coming from somebody who has been on reality tv you can tell lc has put a lot of her experience in the book. i loved everything about this book.the front cover is also really pretty. 5/5 !!!!

star struck pretty much kicks straight from the fame game. i don't won't to give any spoilers so i just ganna show you the blurb =
Madison Parker has discovered that not all publicity is good publicity. After turning herself in for stealing some bling, the reality star is stuck doing community service while her Fame Game castmates soak up all the screen time. Not that newcomer Kate Hayes needs more attention - ever since her breakout song became an overnight sensation she's suddenly acting like she's Katy Perry.
Aspiring actress Carmen Curtis is finally making a name for herself, but she's finding it harder than ever to get out from behind her famous mother's shadow. And in Hollywood, leading men are a dime a dozen, but a good man is hard to find. So when two of the girls have their eye on the same guy, that can mean only one thing: on-camera drama.

the second book is to me all about one of the cast becoming more famous then madison. and one of the girls has troubles with their mum because their sick of being know as so and so daughter which i think is very real with celebrities children . which is why i love this even more because its very accurate. i think the ending for this book so surprising. it latterly goes against everything. theres also an unlikely  love to. you guys are just gonna have to read it. I've fallen in love with theses books and i can't wait for the 3 rd.  5/5

i really do recommend these and i can only imagine what infamous will be like. well done lauren these books are amazing !!!!!!

hope u liked my book review

how to stay out of gossip

Its quite hard to stay out of gossip. especially if its someone you hate. but trust me its best to stay out of it. gossiping about people can really hurt someone even if you don't mean to. so here are some tips to stay out of it.









1 change the topic!
for example if your out with one of your friends and they start saying something like " did you see so and so's hair the other day it was really bad" you cold reply like "speaking of hair i got this new shampoo that I've got to show you later" thats one way of changing the topic fast. make sure you talk about what they said . so if there saying so and so was wearing a horrible dress you go and say i found a really good dress then expand on your topic .....

2 act busy!
if your friend come up to you with  gossip say that you would love to talk but you have lots of things to do and your really busy. if you keep doing every time she comes with gossip she will eventually stop coming to you about gossip.

3 don't say anything!
this tip is simple. when your friend starts gossiping don't say a thing. i mean the gossip cant go on for much longer if you don't say anything 

4 say something nice!
if your with your friends and they start gossiping and badmouthing about someone try and refocus the talk to something positive about them. exp. "speaking of so and so made me really hungry because their an amazing cook".

5 tell the truth 
if you friend is spreading a rumour that you know is not true say it its not for exp. " so and so missed work to go shopping" you just smile and say "thats not true i visited so and so and she was in bed looking very unwell " if a rumour is shut down it can't go much further.
