Split-Ender Trim

Hey Beauties! So it was time for a trim, the last time i had a trim was back in Aug of last year. I trim my hair between once to twice a year. The next time i trim my hair will either be this December or March of 2012.

I received a Split-Ender to review, and i was so excited to try this out. I have heard alot of good things about this, so i was excited to be able to do this particular review. I love the fact that you could do your own trim and not have to go to a salon only to be disappointed...im sure you have been there yourself. Go in for a trim and come out with a HAIR CUT!!

The directions were to take small sections and repeat 3xs, i did exactly that, and this is all the hair that came out...im happy.

My results were amazing because my ends looked and felt so much smoother than before. Check out my Review Video below for more on this Split-Ender =)

Interested in checking the Split-Ender out for yourself? The link is to the right of this blog.

These earrings are my favorite earrings in the world, i wore these to the Usher OMG Concert last month, these earrings will make a head turn in a split second lol. These earrings could be described in one word GORGEOUS!! These earrings are also heavy.

Isn't this bracelet cute...look at the detail

Another cute bracelet, the only thing is the inner part of the bracelet is fabric and it irritates my skin =(

Look at this beautiful purse...omg, you gotta love the color, this will make any boring outfit pop!

I love the handle...this purse isn't cheaply made at all, the quality is excellent

The inside of this purse has alot of room in the inside, its very deep and wide.

Also comes with a strap if you want to change it up...what a great idea.

Overall I'm pleased with the quality of these products and the prices on the site are very reasonable. They have alot of Trendy but yet different pieces then what you see on other sites and in the store. I will most deff buy from them in the near future especially for special occasions when i want my jewelry to stand out and for heads to turn. Make sure you check ALL DIVA THINGS out...you wont regret it Beauties..

Bishop TD Jakes - The Blessed Test Part 6.rm

Bishop TD Jakes - The Blessed Test Part 4.rm

Think BIG, Pray BIG, Expect BIG

Dont underestimate the Power of GOD. GODS dream is so much bigger then what you think, life tries to reduce us but GOD wants to expand us. He owns it all and he can do it all, what does it take? FAITH in him and PRAYER.

Honor GOD with your life and you will see him perform the IMPOSSIBLE in your life. GOD wants you to advance, the devil wants to keep you where you are. Dont be easily satisfied, dont hit the wall...keep going and keep going hard in FAITH

It may not take a day, or a month, it may take years. But you have to remain strong in FAITH  and GOD, its a test of your faith. He wants to see if you are going to be in it for the long run. God wants to bless you more than your normal, he likes to do unusual things. DONT GET STUCK IN YOUR THINKING!!!

God always has other plans for you...his blessings are explosive blessings. GOD is such a great GOD, he can do anything, ANYTHING...doesnt that mean something to you? Doesnt that feel GOOD to know no matter what you are faced with GOD can HEAL it.

Rather its school, your income, your marriage, GOD has the ability to make it better, he will, but you have to keep your FAITH!!! PRAY- PRAY- PRAY and PRAY some more...

DARE TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING BIG, dont make excuses, dont settle for the "right now", you can RISE HIGHER in EVERYTHING!!!!

GOD is our healer, he is our Father, he is our counselor, he is so great!!!

GET RID OF THE EXCUSES AND RELEASE YOUR FAITH AND GET READY FOR GOD TO DO SOMETHING BIG!!!!

this message felt so great today when i heard this from Joel Osteen, oh how i love the power of GOD and feeling of his presence. GOD is going to bless me, i feel it, he is going to heal me of everything and make all my dreams come true...i believe, ive seen it, but im not stopping here, im going to keep walking with GOD and im going to keep praying to him, because no prayer is ever to BIG...remember that!!!

Childrens Hair Care...How To

Hey Beauties! So i get tons of questions on how i care for my daughters hair and i wanted to share with you ladies who are mothers or who knows ladies with children what i have learned. I'm going to tell you what i do and what you shouldn't do to your children's hair. I'm also going to share with you a few sites for children's hair styles as well =)

First thing to remember is be gentle with your daughters hair and don't over do it. You don't want styles that's too tight, this will not only be uncomfortable but it will break her hair off. Also you don't want to over do chemicals if your relaxing or put too much HEAT (THIS IS MAJOR).

STYLES

You want your little girl to look beautiful of course but remember they are children, so keep it fun for them. I have three sites for you ladies to check out, I'm sure you will find tons of styles to try out on your princess. Remember don't do anything too tight!!!

HEAT & CHEMICALS

Heat, Heat, HEAT!!! Please do not over do it on heat on your children's hair!! I cant stress this enough. Too much heat WILL CAUSE HEAT DAMAGE, resulting in dry brittle breaking hair. You wont see any length retained either =( ... what little girl doesn't want long hair?

Relaxers, my baby girl doesn't have one (still a baby), alot of people ask me will i ever relaxer her hair....No, i wont. But for the mothers who decided to relax their daughters hair please keep up with their relaxed hair. After you relax your hair, your hair is even more fragile and needs alot of care to prevent damaged hair. Just like your hair, you don't want to overlap relaxers. A good time frame to relax is between 10+ weeks. And you should ONLY relax NEW GROWTH  not the whole head from root to tip!  And make sure you keep her hair and ends moisturized and sealed!!!!!

SIMPLE HAIR CARE TIPS

1. Cut the heat down or out. Heat 1x a wk is too much, even every 2 wks is too much! Try to limit it to 1x a month, i guarantee if you do you will see a MAJOR difference in her hair (she will thank you for it). If you decide to use heat, use a HEAT PROTECTANT!!!!

2. Don't put her hair in tight hair styles, give her a style that is gentle and cute. If you are doing pony tails, rotate the pony tails to prevent stress on the hair. Also give her styles to protect her ends, like cute little buns and add a pretty flower for style.

3. Moisturize and Seal her hair daily, and don't block her hair pores with grease, you do not need to grease the scalp, this is only clogging the pores. Instead you can use a natural oil and do oil rinses. Find a good moisturizer that is Petroleum and Mineral Oil FREE. And seal with an oil, like coconut oil, sweet almond oil etc (do not use baby oil or Vaseline on her hair!).

4. Shampoo 1x a week and do Co-washes every other day, DC her hair as well.

The steps are very simple to follow, and if you do, I'm sure you will see amazing results on your little girls hair and she will be forever thankful that her mommy took the time, knowledge and dedication to ensure she has long, beautiful, strong healthy hair!!!

Hope this was helpful and as always stay Blessed

xoxo

How to Get the Perfect Summer Glow

Want the perfect summer glow for the  summer but don't know how to get it? Well Beauties I'm going to help you and give you some tips on how to get your Sexy Summer Glow.

The secret to being bronze and beautiful depends on the amount of Shimmer you use. You want your glow to be more SUBTLE than deep and savage. Picking the right undertones also will help give you that beautiful glow. Pink and Gold undertones give you a lighter, fresher and more natural look.

TIPS && TRICKS

-Prep face with long wear foundations (MAC Prolong wear, Revlon ColorStay) Reduce shine with blotting papers (Clean&Clear)

-If you want more of a sunny glow, then use a powder bronzer that is 2 shades deeper than your foundation color. (Stila bronzing powders have a wide range of shades making it easier for you to find your perfect shade)

-DO NOT use bronzing powders to SET your makeup!!!!!!! You want to apply it over your usual powder/foundation.

-Make Sure your skin is DRY and NOT moist because the darker powder will grab and look blotchy: not cute.

-Use a very Fuffy face brush this will keep the finish Seamless and Natural.

-Keep it sheer and don't forget your Neck! Apply it all over then add extra to the apples of the cheeks, bridge of nose and chin.

**Bronzer is like the icing on the cake, do your usual makeup routine by applying your foundation and powder and then DUST your bronzer over your face (that has already been set with  your powder, remember don't set your foundation with your Bronzer!!)**

*also you can do this with a tinted moisturizer, but make sure you let it DRY first before doing your bronzer application**
