DIY Hair Lightener For No Damage Highlights

I will admit that I am not as blonde as I used to be. When I go to the stylist to get highlights they always say, "But your hair is so blonde!"

The problem with going to the salon every six weeks and getting them to highlight my hair is the damage. No matter how hard I work on keeping my hair all damage free, it ends up looking all frayed and ratty by the time it gets the color I want it. So, I have Keep Reading >>>

“I’m Not Always A Hot Mess” Makeup

I pretty much live in jeans and a T-shirt. When I don't have to, I hardly ever wear makeup or do my hair. When my spouse comes home from work, I probably look much the same as I did when he left at 7am. If you stop by my house unannounced- you can count on having to give me a few minutes to locate and strap myself into a bra. I know I'm not the only one. Sometimes, though, I like to remind my spouse that I'm still the hot bitch that he fell in love with. I can still slap on my hot girl disguise and exchange my cami tank for a real bra. I'm not always a hot mess. (Well, maybe I am. But I Keep Reading >>>

VLOG: The Most Ridiculous Kylie Lip Kit Wear Test Ever

Prepare yourself for this. No really. Get ready. This is going to be the most ridiculous kylie lip kit wear test ever. I recently did a First Impressions video and tried the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits.

Get Clean with Rosemary Soap

Soap is one of those common household items that I never think about until I'm washing my hands and discover that I've only got the "water" part of "soap and water."
