Health and Fitness Aint easy..... nor sleezy
FOR ONE.... Let me say this right here and now.. NO there is no miracle drug.. NO fad diets don't work... NO starving yourself isn't going to help you... WHY? because fad diets and starving yourself will actually hurt you more in the long run...The less calorie intake the more your body goes into starvation mode... which only SLOWS DOWN your METABOLISM.
The honest and best way of doing this weight loss thing is to simply do it the hard way. You eat right.. and work out.
Its the new year..I see every other person trying to lose weight.. and I am more than happy to say GOOD FOR THEM.. because it takes discipline...
BUT I see a lot of these same people doing it the WRONG way....
Live by this... THE FASTER YOU LOSE IT THE FASTER YOU WILL GAIN IT BACK. And that is the truth folks.... I have been there and done that with all the fad bullshit.. and the starving....
But the only way I have ever lost weight and kept it off was making sure I worked out every day.. and ate food that was good for my body to function..
dedication is NOT starving yourself... that is stupidity and lack of education... Commitment is NOT fad dieting.... Fad dieting is foolishness....believing there is some miracle product is absolutely ridiculousness
Simple as that..............

Waxing, Tweezing, and..................Threading???? OH MY!
Just recently I decided to start threading my eyebrows...
I typically pluck with tweezers and very rarely do I ever try to use wax.. because well.... that shit hurts! and I can never pull it off fast enough to get all the hairs. So I end up with patches of hair gone and a very sore face.
Threading takes some practice...
but lets look at some pros and cons on waxing, tweezing and threading:

Threading takes some practice...
but lets look at some pros and cons on waxing, tweezing and threading:
Waxing
PROS:
- Fast process
- Over time less and less hair comes back
- Leaves a very smooth surface
- Lasts for about two weeks
CONS
- Can be messy
- Can be costly
- Need to have at least 3 to 4 weeks of hair growth in order to wax again
- Can be pretty painful
Tweezing
PROS:
- Cost effective
- Easy
CONS
- Slow process
- The possibility of missing hairs
- Hair grows back fairly quickly
Threading
PROS:
- Hair doesn't grow back up to three weeks
- Hair grows back thinner (making it easier to remove)
- Fast
- Clean
- Cheap
CONS:
- Takes practice
- As painful as plucking (but not nearly as painful as waxing)

Salt Water Beachy Waves!
You ever wonder how some chickys have awesome beachy waves like they just got done surfing?? yeah me too!!! Until I read this lil salon secret. Its easy peasy!! And very affordable! OH YEAH!....
This chick does not do expensive... so I was pretty happy to find this out.....
-8 to 10fl oz spray bottle (You can easily find these bad boys at a dollar store)

-Sea salt (1 tsp for every 8fl oz)

now all you have to do is put all this in the bottle.. and shake it shake it shake it..... until its all mixed up...
Now before I go on.. keep in mind that you DO NOT want to do this too much.. it will dry out your hair!
This is NOT my recipe.. but one I found.. I'm sure there is a much simpler version.. just salt and water.. but I figured this one is nice because of the conditioner that you add in it....
What you will need:
-8 to 10fl oz spray bottle (You can easily find these bad boys at a dollar store)
-Sea salt (1 tsp for every 8fl oz)
-1/2 tsp of any scented conditioner for every 8fl oz (helps with the drying of the salt and it makes you smell pretty! ;))
now all you have to do is put all this in the bottle.. and shake it shake it shake it..... until its all mixed up...
Spray it on and start scrunching your hair with your hand....
and BAM now you look all GNARLY DUDE!

Lets Talk About Beauty Baby
I started this blog in high hopes to not only share with others the things I have picked up along the way about makeup and beauty... but also the beauty of self confidence! We all have it. But some of us (more like most of us) lose it along the way. I too am very guilty of this...
Sometimes we lose it from being in a bad relationship... sometimes we lose it because of what society makes us think. No matter what the reason is.. we all need to remember that we are ALL BEAUTIFUL.. no matter what shape or size... with or without make up.. dressed up or dressed down.. Remember to love yourself!
Lets tell ourselves something positive each morning.... it could be that you like how your hair looks.. or how well you handle yourself under pressure... anything to BOOST that self confidence... anything to remind yourself of just how GORGEOUS you are EVERYDAY... inside and out.
and now I will leave you with this link......
check it out! AND
OWN IT GUUUUUUURRRRRLLLLL!
