Be your own photographer!

I didn’t do an outfit of the day video of this outfit, but I wanted to share this sailor like feel shirt I bought at Ross.  I love all types of outfits and accessories that have the sailor vibe.  I’ve been obsessed with anchors ever since I was a little girl, which is why I love this top.

Batana Oil from Honduras for Shiny & Fast Growing Hair

Batana oil has traditionally been used by the Miskito people in Honduras.  So, what exactly is Batana oil?  Batana oil is extracted from a nut palm tree in Honduras. Batana oil is known for promoting thick, shiny hair and it also helps repairs damaged hair. The plant where batana comes from is located in a place in Honduras called La Mosquitia.  The natives of this town are known as “Tawira” which means people of beautiful hair. 

La Mosquitia being an isolated indigenous area these natives are always working outside and being exposed to the damaging rays of the sun.  Despite this these natives from La Mosquitia Moskitia are still known for their beautiful dark, shiny, healthy hair.  Their healthy shiny hair is due to their use of batana oil. 

Batana  oil can also help cover up grays.  People who have gray hair and use batana oil have reported that their hair has gradually turned brown.  So if you love your gray mane you need to stay away from batana oil. 

What is the difference between pure batana oil and the Ojon oil?  The Ojon oil sold at stores such as Sephora only contains a small amount of batana oil.  Therefore, it is not pure batana oil. 

 

Why is pure batana oil so expensive?  This oil is processed by hand and it takes a lot of kernels to make enough to fill up a small container.  This product is not produced in large quantities by a machine.

Different ways of wearing a blazer

Wearing a pearl necklace like this one and heels can help dress up  your outfit.  There are so many different accessories you can add or leave out in order to make a variety of different looks.

I created this breezy spring feel by simply folding my jeans up and adding some floral sandals and accessories. It’s amazing how a few simple accessories can change an outfit.

I consider this look to be on the preppy side because of the flat shoes.  Whenever I want to make an outfit look preppy I add flat shoes and simple accessories.

Michael Kors Espresso & gold Watch

imageThis is the photo that captured me and had me hunting all the stores in Miami for this watch.  The brown interior does make it seem like it’s more of a masculine watch, but I like that feel about this watch.  I also think that I love this watch because it is not available in most stores.  I’m glad I was able to buy it before it goes completely out of stock. 

 

I think this is a beautiful way of wearing this espresso & gold Michael Kors watch.

This is the interior of the purse.  I love it because it has different compartments to organize your things.

When it comes to watches size does matter.  The BIGGER the better.  I’m sure all of you have noticed that women are abandoning feminine small watches and opting for the oversized chunky men style watches. Now a days people are interested in watches that make a statement rather than just wearing a watch because if its functionality.

Sfree Emu Oil Cream Rinse & Emu Oil Cleanser

<-------------- This is the website link for this Emu Oil Shampoo Photobucket

Photobucket

This new sulfate free Emu Oil shampoo & conditioner from Healthy Hair Plus is my new favorite hair product. Before I started using this sulfate free product I was using the other Emu Oil Shampoo & Conditioner which contains Sulfate. Although it contains Sulfate I still love the other product as well. However, now that they came out with this great product it instantly became my fav! With this Emu Oil shampoo & conditioner my hair feels silky soft and shiny like never before. Ever since I've been using Emu Oil products on my hair I've noticed how the health of my hair has improved dramaically. I notice the change on my ends which used to be dry and brittle.

This is a picture of my hair from the back so that all of you can see how much progress my hair has made in these last few months. If you look at the tip of the V you will notice that I already achieved my goal of waist length hair. Sometimes I can't even believe how fast my hair is growing. If my hair can grow this fast anyone can achieve fast growing hair too. It's just a matter of using good hair growth products and pampering your hair.

Last year my boyfriend and I decided that for V-day we would each dedicate a day to do something nice for eacher. On Friday February 10th, it was my day on which I cooked for him and I gave him his V-day gift. I never cook for my boyfriend so I take advantage of special occasions to make something for him. On Saturday it was my boyfriend's turn to do something for me. He took me to "Cheesecake Factory" which is one of my favorite restaurant's.

This is the headband that caught my attention.

Deepa Gurnani Swirl Headband

Khloe Kardashian is wearing the Deepa Gurnani Swirl Headband.

Swizzle style. Khloe Kardashian accessorizes with the Deepa Guarnani Swirl Headband. A beautiful arrangement of beading, this comfortable headband can stretch to fit across the head in a boho style or more like a traditional headband.

Below I included other headbands The Kardashians have been caught wearing.

 

 

 

Can this 1960’s throwback be the next best thing?

We have seen hippie headband trend emerge among celebrities, models on the runway and the fashion forward individuals. Lately though this hippie inspired trend has been spreading like a plague. Wearing a cute headband is a quick way of spicing up your look and give yourself a fresh new look. However, be careful you do not walk around looking like a mushroom head.  In order to avoid the mushroom  head look just check your hair once in a while and tuck your hair down if needed. Also, keep in mind that headbands might not look good on everyone with every outfits.  Some outfits look good with a headband and some don’t.
