Tangle Teezer Review

     A few months ago I walked into Sally's to browse around to see what I could find. While browsing I cam upon this magnificent brush called the Tangle Teezer. There were only two left and me being the frugal person I am questioned whether or not to get it. It was priced around ten dollars and to me that is money I could spend on ten items on the dollar menu at McDonald's.



      It was really cool looking and the colors were pretty so I decided to go ahead and try it. As soon as the lady rang me up I went to my truck, opened the box and tried it. Heaven on my head is what it felt like. I found that it works better with hair than it does dry hair though.

When I took a shower I quickly put the Tangle Teezer to my wet hair and felt it just glide through. Usually I'm yanking a brush through my hair and watch as my hair breaks off into the brush. Now if there are big tangles it does pull a little but not enough to hurt.

As you can see there are more colors to choose from. I have the purple/pink one. I also have the Tangle Teezer Original. If you go online to http://www.tangleteezer.com/products.php#%23prod=NO-PU-011012&cat=original you can see the all the different ones they have.


I absolutely love my Tangle Teezer! I believe it was well worth money. They are, however, based in Great Britain. So if you live in America or somewhere that's not there, I suggest looking in beauty supply stores to find them or even a Target. If you go to the Tangle Teezer webpage they go by Euros so that's why I suggest it.

If you don't have one go get you one because you will LOVE it!

You've Got a Friend in Me



      Growing up I was that girl that was really outgoing, kind, funny, and weird. I had friends but they were always friends that would basically get replaced the next year depending on who's class I was in. Then in high school that changed. I had a circle of friends that I would hang out with every day at school and outside of school. I still made new friends every semester of high school but my circle of friends were my best friends till the end of graduation.Then we all went our own way.

     I started going to a new church and made new friends. We've been friends for a few years now and this past week I saw a new meaning to our friendship. We had revival at our church and every night of it we hung out and ate. The very last night of it we ate at Cracker Barrel. Yum! There were a total of  9 of us and when we get together we become extremely loud. (Oh and aside from us being there, there was probably only two other tables there, so we were really loud.) We were sitting there telling funny stories of each other and remembering events we had encountered together. I didn't care how loud we were being though because we were having so much fun.

  It was at that moment I had realized they weren't my friends. They were my Ohana <3
          We had our moments where we couldn't stand one another but we always found our way through it. I look at each one of them and see how truly precious they are to me. I have a love for them that I have for my own siblings. It's not like how high school was. These are the people that put a smile on my face and tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. I was blessed to have them in my life and I plan on keeping them there. Everyone should have friends that turn into ohana.

I know I have a friend in them and they have a friend in me


*Sorry but I love Disney quotes! They're my favorite!

Dyeing Hair

So my stepsister wanted me to dye her hair today and of course I said sure. I'm use to dyeing my hair and other sister's hair so what could go wrong. However, we've never had blonde in our hair. That was something I didn't think anything about it until we had gotten home. Then I googled to make sure it was okay to dye over it. One website said it was as long as the dye didn't have an ash tint to it. I started freaking out inside because I thought that was the one we had chosen. Thank God we didn't! We got a light golden brown. So we began the process and the whole time I was secretly praying that I hadn't screwed up her hair.
                    This is what she started out with. She had a dark looking brown color with blonde highlights all over the top.
    I mixed the chemicals together and started spreading it throughout her hair. Still freaking out on the inside not knowing how it would turn out, I knew there was no turning back at this point
After waiting 25 minutes with it in, we continued on and washed the dye out. The water had turned murky brown and when it turned clear I knew it was time. The dye was all washed out. I searched her hair to look for any blonde strips that might've turned a horrendous color. I studied her head for about a good 2 minutes and all I saw were a few dark blonde strips. It wasn't over though. Once I blow dried her hair I knew I would be able to know for sure if I had messed up. ( I seriously prayed while doing this.) It was the final moment of truth. Thank you sweet baby Jesus! 


As you can tell it didn't turn out horrible. The blonde had gotten darker but was still lighter than the hair underneath. The top looked like it had natural highlights in it though and blended nicely with the rest of her hair. Overall it turned out fine and I'm very pleased with it. Oh and I'm very, very, very, relieved! If you try this at home please read up on it or ask a professional for their opinion. I was very lucky it turned out the way it did. 

I just want to end by saying box dyeing can save you tons of money but make sure you know what you're doing first.

Fall is here.....Well almost :)

Fall is finally here!!! Well in three more days but the way the weather is, it's officially fall to me!! I walked outside earlier and instead of feeling hot and sticky, I felt the cool embrace of fall. So to kick off the season I went ahead and pulled out my favorite sweater. Yes, that is a cat's head on a woman :)
You can't have fall with out these bad boys either. You have to search far and wide for these suckers. Once they hit the shelves they're gone and I mean fast! I can understand why though. The green apple flavor covered in caramel...Yes please! It's a shame they only put them out when it's time for Halloween. I would've snapped a picture of mine...but my family (including myself) ate them up in about three days. Don't judge.
I begged my sister to go and get those Pillsbury Halloween cookies. Y'all know which ones I'm talking about. The ones with the pumpkins on them that just put you in the season. So being the good sister she is, she bought some for me :) I quickly stuck them in the oven and devoured them.
 

I was really excited and ate one. Don't act like you wouldn't do it haha :)

Before I end this post I just want to share how amazing Dairy Queen's new pumpkin pie blizzard is. It's OMG! good. I've literally probably have had about five of these delicious creations. If you have a DQ around you, I suggest you go try one. It will definitely put you in the mood for fall! 


Who else is ready for fall and all the holidays???

Forever 21

 Today my sister and I decided to go have a girls day and go shopping. This to me means spend all day at Forever 21 haha. The Forever 21 close to us is located in a mall and is huge!!!! I lose anyone I take in there all the time. I love all the varieties of stuff it means more to chose from. However if you're a poor college student like me you have to sift the racks to find all the good stuff and that's just what I did.
I found this sweater in the sale racks. It was already marked down and then you got an extra 30%!! Praise Jesus hallelujah for these kind of sales. It was only $8.39!
 My sister picked this one up wanting it but it was just a little too small. Then I heard her say dang it was only $5 plus the 30% off. I quickly snatched and clung on to it and paid $4.19 for this jacket. Is it bad I wanted it because it was so cheap? Oh well it was a good deal :)
 They had their legging on sale for only $3.90!! So of course I picked a pair up.

 I really loved the rolled up sleeves on this shirt and of course the fact it had London on it.  It was just long enough on me to wear I could pair this up with some leggings when it gets colder. This was the most expensive item I picked up at $10.80. That's still not too bad though right?
Cheap, cheap, cheap!!!! $3.90 for this v-neck shirt!!! It looks black but it's a navy blue color and I love it!
This didn't come from Forever 21 but it came from Charlotte Russe. They had all their scarves for $5 so of course I thought why not go ahead and get one. I've never had an infinity scarf so I went ahead and got one of those and it's amazing!!!

      Like I said I'm a broke college student and I don't want to seem like I'm bragging because I'm not. I just wanted to share all the wonderful savings I found today!! If you're on a budget and want cute clothes I definitely suggest Forever 21!

Lazy Days

 Everyone deserves a lazy day so I took advantage of mine. I woke up this morning ate a few grapes and watched some PewDiePie and well you know what happens when you're on YouTube. You start off watching what you intended on watching and the next thing you know you're watching funny auditions from American Idol. Needless to say I spent a pretty good bit of my time on YouTube.

 The other half of my day went to Neflix. God bless you Netflix. I caught up on a series I've been watching called Merlin. Have you heard of it? It's so good and really funny. I recommend it along with all the wonderful disney movies. Yes you disney fanatics so many disney movies to chose from. I won't say I'm in love.

To end my day I'm laying in bed with my feline companion watching YouTube videos once more. How do you spend your lazy days?

I would love to share life lessons I tend to learn hear and know and who knows maybe you can teach me something. I will also be writing a lot about randomness also. Yeah I'll probably just talk about mostly random stuff.
