Whats up y'all!!! I had one hell of a weekend, I went to visit my mom for her surgery in Charlotte, NC. I haven't seen her in so long, I'm embarrassed to say lol. It was one of the best experiences I've had in a longggggg time. My mom, sisters and I have a very unique and crazy bond to say the least! It felt so good to see my sister, she's 19 now omg!! Its the fact she's grown and we were able to talk ALL NIGHT LONGGGGGG about everything for me. It's like I'm seeing my life reincarnated through her, we have so much in common its scary lol.  My mom is doing so well I was pleasantly suprised. I always worry about her so visiting was long overdue and very much needed. I want to thank my husband for making this trip possible, he ALWAYS jumps at the chance to go check on my mother and I could really cry with how appreciative I am! I hate getting too emotional (something I inherited from my mom, that's been passed down to myself and ALL my sisters lol)... but seriously we had a few issues in the beginning (mainly bc he never listens when I tell him to prepare-__-) anyway, we've agreed to "agree to disagree" lmao.

The boys got to see their grandma. Grandma got to see her grand babies. Now my world is complete again! I also brought the glam squad (myself lol) and here's a breakdown of the products I used on myself, mom and my sister! 

My mom likes her makeup glam but natural. She is so serious about her brows remaining HER BROWS!

So we went through her makeup and I basically told her to trash everything lol.. I told her to keep one palette that caught my eye but she ended up giving it to me. So here's the palette, I used it on all of us!

Its the Miami palette by Shaina B. The colors are freaking gorgeous,  the shimmers are what caught my eye right away.

I've been enjoying a break from wigs for the last month wearing high buns non stop. I relaxed my hair also a month ago with the Silk Elements Luxury Moisturizing Relaxer System, and I've been LOVING the results!! My 4c hair is more manageable and simple looks like this high bun have become one of my favorite ways to style my hair. I blew out and pressed my hair using the Chi Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray. For the sleek finishing touches and baby hairs I loved using The Cartierre Collection's Edge Control. Overall I am loving my natural hair these days, and by natural I mean wig free! I have plans to start making more upart wigs and clip in extensions in the future as i'm getting used to leaving my hair out more. I love frontal and closure life, it definitely helped me reach my natural hair goals smoothly. With my hair being left out more these days I think its time for me to venture out and make adjustments to my current lifestyle.

Every year around this time I find myself needing to try a deep teal shimmery eyeshadow look. During the fall winter months, I lean more towards smokey teals and in the summer I love teals with warm browns & light greens. I'm also swapping out my favorite light nudes for fall browns. Revolutionary. I know.
