Crochet Braids: Take Care of Your OWN Hair Too

Hello there Saints! I am about to remove my crochet braids for the month of August this week. Needless to say this is my one and only long-term go to protective style! I have been amazed how well my hair does when I just leave it ALONE.  I was not a believer in wearing protective styles long term until I found the right one for me. I will not snub protective styles anymore. Whatever protective style you choose to wear, Saints, wear it well and make sure to take care of your own hair too.

Coastal Scents: GO Palette - Cairo

Hello Saints! I had purchased some great items on Amazon.com last month. One of the items I ordered was the Coastal Scents GO Palette - Cairo. I really like  the deep neutral colors in this palette! I finally had a chance to use it and all though they're about the size of a dime, they offer great pigment. A little will go a long way.

Upon applying, the colors were soft and smooth. Some of the colors are matte and the others have shimmer. I am a work in progress with applying multiple colors and blending eyeshadow. For an amature such as myself, this palette blended very well. I applied 4 of the 12 colors from the palette. My base color was not from this palette though. I have to say I really enjoyed using this pallet. I do plan on purchasing another GO Palette soon.

Awesome Amazon Finds!

My wonderful husband was blessed unknowingly with a $50 gift card to Amazon.com. In turn he blesses ME with it. He is so sweet. Anywho, prior to me receiving the gift card, I was already looking around on the site trying to get the best value for Jamaican Black Castor Oil. I have been able to get it locally here in Tampa Bay but I would pay $10 for a 4oz bottle. As I looked online I could pay the same amount but get an 8oz bottle. You do the math. Granted then there would be shipping/handling costs too. So, turns out Amazon does offer free shipping on various items when you purchase $25 worth of products. After I plugged in the gift card I loaded my shopping cart with Sunny Isle JBCO, The 17 Day Diet and Coastal Scents GO Palette-Cairo.  I recieved free-shipping on 3 items and I still have money left on the gift card for future purchases.
