Prayer to Avert Storms and Hurricanes


Prayer to Avert Storms and Hurricanes



Father, all the elements of nature obey your command. Calm the storms and hurricanes that threaten us and turn our fear of your power into praise of your goodness. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.


**praying for the North East US, May God keep you safe.**

5 Minute Beauty Mask!!!



Short on time? But need something to refresh your face, and yourself?

I LOOOOVE using the ALL NATURAL Honey & Sugar face and lip scrub! Its super easy to make, takes less than 5 minutes to make and apply....the results....AMAZING SOFT GLOWING SKIN!!!

All you need is Sugar, Honey, and a little bit of Milk. I use organic products but you can use any products you choose, organic or not. Results are basically the same.

I use about 2 teaspoons of Honey, 1/2 cup of Sugar, and 1 teaspoon of Milk. Mix together, add more sugar if you want your mix thicker, add more milk if you want your mix thinner. You can store your mixture in a small container and put it in the refrigerator.

I apply this mixture to my face and my lips at the same time, i let the mixture sit on my face (depending on the amount of time i have) anywhere from 2-5 minutes. And rinse off with cool water, let dry then apply my moisturizer...keep in mind you need to cleanse your face prior to applying the scrub. For my lips, i gently rub my lips together with the scrub for a minute or two then wipe off.....i looooove how soft my lips feel afterwards. (this is good to do daily in the morning before applying your lipstick or gloss--your application will apply much smoother)

Try it out...let me know how it works out for you =)

Vivica A Fox:: Rachel


This wig is a Lace Front from the VIVICA A FOX collection. I was sent this wig to review, and i was able to choose the style...her name is RACHEL and i got her in a #4. She is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and full of body.

She is 20inches in length and layered. You can also use your curling iron on her too!! This wig also has natural "baby hair"

I like to rock her with a little hair out, like i do my half wigs. The picture ABOVE I'm wearing her straight out the bag as a LACE FRONT WIG, she has 2 combs on the side, 1 on top and 1 in the back. I used a scarf to tie her down to flatten the wig down a bit, since it was a little puffy on top. You also get about 2/2.5 inches of parting room =)


In this collage, I'm wearing Rachel as a half wig (my fave) i like her like this because its more natural in my liking. I love how full this wig is and how the hair is so beautiful and soft, really great quality...but hey, what else can you expect coming from Vivica A Fox ;-)

CHECK OUT MY YOUTUBE VIDEO REVIEW TO SEE HER "LIVE"


 



Model Model Fresca...


i saw this wig on another YouTuber, and she rocked it well!! I like it better on her than i do myself, but since i dont like wasting my money, i rocked it anyway. This wig is Model Model Fresca and i brought her from HairSisters . The color im rocking here is a number 2 (i love dark hair) and all i did was pull out about an inch of my own hair, applied some leave in spray and qp glaze and brushed the hair back off my face. This was a perfect style for the weather last week when it was hot.

Will i order this Half Wig again? No, its an okay wig, but i had better. This wig didnt last too long, 2wks if that. However...i did sleep in it lol so that has something to do with it too. BUT i have notice Model Model wigs doesnt last too long like my favorite brand SENSATIONNEL.

Also...this wig was VERY LONG...i had to cut at least 3 inches off her =/

*the flower is from H&M

**also beauties, so you kno, for some reason i cant respond to your comments =( so im not ignoring you- i just cant respond..but i see your request =)**

XOXO

Hair Chat...


Wow....11 weeks went by so darn fast. Its time for a RELAXER!!! Im going to relax my hair one day next week. Update Video soon of course.

I relax my hair every 12 weeks but i think im going to start relaxing every 11 weeks instead because i notice around the 10th/11th week my hair starts to shed crazy bad =( So i will be doing that next time, i would have relaxed this week but i just washed my hair last night and didnt realize i was this far into my relaxer lol.

I cant wait to see where im at...especially with this shedding, hope i dont have a set back. I have been a little lazy with my hair this time...shame shame i kno...but it being summer, 2 children, i have been busy lol. But my hair has been protected under my beautiful wigs. So we shall see.

I need to head to Sallys this week i need to get more Aphogee and One N' Only products because i am OOOOUUUTTTT....shame shame again, because i have been using other products instead 0_o

Oh yea...did i tell you Beauties that i dyed my hair...OFF BLACK... i was so tired doing the Rinses because i co wash and wash my hair often, so it would rinse out very quickly, waste of money. So now my hair is permanently dyed so i have to take EXTRA CARE of it!
