NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine
Anyone that knows me knows that I LOVE LOVE LOVE lip gloss Any shade, flavor or size can be found in my purse and bathroom. I was super duper excited when I received NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine in my Holiday Voxbox from Influenster.
I will admit that I was a little apprehensive when I saw the color that I received and wasn't sure how it would look with my skin tone. I received the Nude York City shade. I thought it would be a little light for me but it gave me great shine . It lasted through my work out at the Gym which was an extra bonus.
The NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine is available in 10 shades and can be found at chain drugstores and mass merchandiser's nationwide for $2.49. You can find a full list of retailers at the NYC site.
This is definite keeper and I will be purchasing again. You can find more reviews about the NYC New York Color Liquid Lipshine here. You can find more information about Kiss Nail Dress by visiting their website here.

Kiss Nail Dress
I was really excited when I received the Kiss Nail Dress in my Holiday Voxbox from Influenster. I am not a big person on keeping my nails done as I am a nurse and we can not wear artificial nails on the floors that I have worked on. I usually just let my nails grow and keep them clean and trimmed.
I will say that I was not extremely impressed with the nails. I received the a studded pattern called Teddy which I thought was really cute. They were a little time consuming to apply as they were hard to match to the size of my nails. I actually wore the ones on my toes for a little over a week and did not have a problem. The ones on my nails however, barely lasted past the first hand washing and I was highly disappointed. I really was hoping that they would last longer due to the time it took to get them on and how cute they looked when I finished.
I do have some suggestions for applying the nails to make the process go quicker. I suggest you trim your nails and file them before you start to apply the nails. I also suggest that you compare the nails and select the appropriate nail size for each of your nails and lay them out in order. I suggest that you hold the nail dress in place and press firmly for 25-30 seconds before moving on to the next one. These are not requirements but they will help make them last a little longer.
The price for these nails is very reasonable. They run about $6.99 and come in many different designs. They come with various sizes in each kit and are available at multiple locations such as K-Mart, CVS, Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens & Meijer. You can find a full list of retailer at the Kiss Nail Site.
Although they seemed to last great on my toes I do not think that I will be buying these as they didn't last at all on my nails. You can find more reviews about the Kiss Nail Dress here. You can find more information about Kiss Nail Dress by visiting their website here.

To BC or not? A personal choice
TO BC or Not
Ok I don't understand why everyone is so hung up on if a person with natural hair did a big chop (BC) or not. I never BC'd. I didn't feel that I needed to. I got my last relaxer in 2009. Its now 2012. I think I have done ok. I didn't wake up one morning and decide to go natural. It happened out of frustration in finding a stylist that could do my hair without it trying to make my hair supper straight and ending up breaking it off. Not everyone that is a stylist has what my granny would call "growing hands" and, as I found out, most have preconceived notions on how YOUR hair should look. I searched high and low for a stylist that I clicked with for over 3 years to no avail. And so my natural hair journey began in 2009. I didn't do a BC. I just never got another chemical service and have just trimmed my ends as I went along. I have tried a host of products and went to several Natural Hair shows. I watch A LOT of Youtube videos and read blogs and forums about natural haircare and styles. I am always surprised at how somme bloggers and forum comments are negative towards women who did not BC. These people need to have several seats _/ and get a grip. Who appointed you the Natural Hair police? These hair nazis are too funny. My bad that. I made a PERSONAL CHOICE and did not BC. I obviously did not get the memo or contract that stated to be a TRUE NATURAL you had to do a BC. I just find it funny that people can think it is ok to tell someone how they are supposed to travel their hair journey.I am very happy with my decision and hope that others will se past the drama and cattiness that goes on and embrace whatever decision they make. After all it is theirs to make!

The Many Uses of Ivory
I received a full size bar of Ivory soap from Influenster and I smiled. The smell of it takes me back to my childhood. I remember watching reruns of the Andy Griffin show, eating fried peach pies and chasing fireflies at night with my cousins. I remember my Granny yelling at me because I would steal the strawberries out of her garden and throwing peas at the neighborhood kids. I also remember taking a bath every night with Ivory soap and the smell of the towels that she wrapped up in when we were done.
I used the Ivory soap as a face wash and for bathing for myself and my niece and nephew. I loved that it left our skin clean without that tight, dry feeling you can get with some soaps. I felt squeaky clean and I LOVE that feeling! After a week of use my skin was softer and more moisturized. Those are very good things especially in the south's harsh summer heat.
Ivory bar soap is 99.4% pure which makes it gentle enough for even babies sensitive skin. It has a multitude of uses such as laundry, craft projects, clothing spot treatment and of course face and body cleaning. It is available in bar, body wash and liquid hand soap forms so you can chose your preference. This product is one of the most cost effective soaps on the market and with all the ways you can use it you are sure to get the most bang for your buck. You can get a 10 pack for around $4.49 and it is available at most retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target and CVS.
