Chemical Burns, Walmart Salons, and Crappy Customer Service

Prior to moving to Kentucky, I decided it would be a good idea to get one more relaxer. While I probably could of gone a bit longer before I had my hair relaxed, I preceded to go to the hair salon. Unfortunately, I left with serious regret. Trying to find someone "good" to do my hair seemed like I was asking for too much out of life. Not to offend, but my experience with hairdressers, specifically blacks ones, left me afraid to get attached since too often they would be in the wind before I knew it. It took me over 4 years to find a hair dresser who wouldn't burn me or do a horrific job when I was in college. When I returned home, I was happy to find a new girl named Whitney at the Family Style salon in Walmart. She was young, but she was passionate and not complacent, two things that some of my previous hairdressers had issues with. The nape of my neck prior to my last relaxer and about 3 years after a bad chemical burn that gave me a keloid (treated with medi

Review: 14-Day Acai Berry Cleanse

The 14-Day Acai Berry Cleanse is a cleanse that I have used a few times over the last several years. I even used it as recently as about 2 months ago but ended up having some sort of bug the last day, which made my results inconclusive. But this time around, I am determined to jump start this weight loss. The cleanse, the nasty part of my weight loss, is my first step to my 2 month weight loss . Today marks day two of my weight loss plan as well as my cleanse. So what is the purpose of a cleanse? This particular cleanse is meant to cleanse the colon of toxins and waste. The effects are similar to using a laxative but (in my opinion) not as harsh. However, according to the Live Strong website , colon cleanses are only temporary solutions: It is quite possible to lose some weight using a colon cleanser, but this loss is at least partly the result of water weight. Colon cleansers increase the rate of fecal movement within the colon, which limits the amount of fluids ab

Dupe List: MAC's Ambering Rose and Lorac's Hollywood

So I went by the MAC counter today looking for Dolly Mix. Unfortunately, they were sold out so I just lingered around to see if anything else caught my eye. I picked up several but was instantly drawn to one, Ambering Rose. It was beautiful. Almost as if NARS Taj Mahal and MAC Coopertone could have a baby, then Ambering Rose would be the offspring. It is a beautiful burnt orange/brown color with shimmer. Very flattering for darker skin tones. But once I got in the car, I started to realize the swatch on my hand looked really familiar. Then it hit me, it looked a lot like Lorac's Hollywood blush. As soon as I got home, I pulled the Lorac blush out of it's draw and swatched it. The two looked too close. Hollywood has a bit of a more brassy orange color to it than Ambering Rose, but at certain angles...........they might as well be the same. I love my Hollywood blush and while Ambering Rose is a deeper color, there was no point in keeping both. So I returned it back
