fave4 hair review!

Hope everyone is having a great Monday!


So if y'all know me, I absolutely adore Jessie James Decker...she's very gorgeous, a great singer, and she's a very real person! Ever since her hair product line "fave4" came out, I've been wanting to try it.... so I did.

After reading SO many great reviews on all of the products, I chose the twice as thick thickening cream and the smooth for sure blowout cream.

Okay, so I bought the mini's just in case I didn't like the products.. But I'm definitely buying more!!!

Twice as Thick Thickening Cream:  This cream is for all my ladies who want big, voluminous hair. It also protects the hair with a built in heat protection. Truth is, it really works y'all!! So here are the steps I did:

1. washed my hair

2. put a dime sized amount on my fingertips and ran it through my wet hair

3. next I blow dryed my hair

4. straightened my hair

By the way, both of the products made my hair super soft!

Smooth for Sure Blowout Cream: This blowout cream was great as well. I repeated the same steps as the thickening cream and it left my hair very shiny and soft as well! It also has heat protection and moisture retention,too! 

Now I see why all of the reviews were five stars!!! I'm excited to try lots of other products from here. Both of my mini's were $6, which is great for a tester! Thank you SO much, fave4!!

Thank y'all for reading this post and I hope y'all have a blessed week!!

December favorites!!

Hey y'all, it has been a while!! Hope everyone had a great Christmas and an even better New Year's! I had such a blessed Christmas this year. Let's jump right in to my favorites this past month...

favorite store y'all

Every dang time I go in Altar'd State, I absolutely die!!! It smells SO good in this store, y'all! When I opened this present, I ain't going to lie, I was pretty excited! This candle is so light and beautiful, the smell isn't overwhelming at all. Here is the link: Altar'd State Signature Scent

This is a palette I've been wanting for a very long time and I finally got it. I absolutely love reds, pinks, and rose colors so this palette was right up my alley! The shadows are very pigmented and so creamy, definitely worth the money!!

Angel by Mac

If you know me, you know I LOVE Mac lipsticks! You can never have too many ;) This one is a very gorgeous pink, not too pink and not too nude.

Soooo, I got me a Cricut, I've been wanting one for a looong time. First off, these are very dangerous... soon I will be monogramming everything in the house! Ha ha! ;) It is very easy to setup and get going. There are so many projects involving this machine and y'all, it is worth the money I promise!!

The other day I went in HomeGoods and couldn't pass up this gorgeous pillow! Of course I had to add a little something ;) The font is called Monogram KK font and it is on the website dafonts.com.

I've recently read a couple of verses each night (one of my New Year's resolutions), and this one is Psalm 98 and it's definitely worth a read!! Time to grow, grow, grow! :)


Well, thank y'all for viewing and I hope everyone has a great year. Lets make 2017 the best!! Also, I have a Youtube channel now, y'all!!! It will be everything beauty related: hair, makeup, etc. I'm excited about it! Have a great week. :)

Brownies and Ice cream!

      Ice cream and brownies has to be like the best thing ever... right?!?

This definitely has to be my FAVORITE brownie mix ever!! So good!!! 

Sorry y'all, it's kinda hard to tell what it is! ;)

For the sauce, I used just the Hershey's chocolate sauce and Smuckers caramel sauce.


Hope y'all have a great Tuesday!

September favorites!

                                  These are some of my favorite products from September!

Estee Lauder Double Wear- 1N1 Ivory Nude

Y'all!! This is my absolute favorite foundation so far! I have tried SO many foundations and was never really satisfied with any until this one came along.  Estee Lauder Double Wear

Caramel Pumpkin Swirl 

Anytime I'm in B&BW I  cannot come out without grabbing a new candle. It's a crazy obsession of mine! I swear these candles can smell up the whole house in less than like 5 minutes!! They don't really last a long time though :( But they always have great sales on them! (Just got done burning it btw :) ) Caramel Pumpkin Swirl Candle

Morphe 35OS

This palette is so gorgeous. This one would be so perfect for the falltime. There is one in a matte version but personally I love the shimmer! Morphe Eyeshadow Palette 

Mac lipstick- Babes and Balls

Omg... If I could own every Mac lipstick, I totally would, y'all!! This shade is actually sold out right now, but I couldn't pass it up. It is absolutely gorgeous on and perfect for fall and winter!! Babes and Balls

Hope y'all enjoyed this!! 10.12.16
