Hairstory, Hair Regimen & Hair Talk!
This has been a MAJA' request from my subbies, and I'm so happy to finally be posting my hair regimen!!! It has changed quite a bit since I first started my hair journey. I used to do this routine 2-3times a week and had a whole bunch of products in rotation.... BUT.... you live and you learn. I've learned how to listen to my hair, my routine has simplified so much, and my hair is thriving! ENJOY!
Current Hair Regimen ~ Fall 11'

~ STYLING & PROFILIN'~
• I sleep in a silk scarf EVERY night. (Boo doesn't like it much LOL)
• The first couple of days, I like to enjoy my hair and wear it down. After I will keep my hair clipped up and my ends protected!
• I do not comb my hair much throughout the week to avoided unnecessary manipulation. I "finger-comb". I also rarely use a brush, and when I do it is a "boar bristle" brush.

MY 1st BIRCHBOX!!
I caved and gave into all the hype about birchbox.com.... here's my 1st box ^_^.
- Jurlique Moisturizing Hand Sanitizer ~ Hands down the best sanitizer I've used so far. The safflower oil is a great moisturizing property that doesn't leave your hands feeling "greasy. Perfect for the upcoming cold seasons!
- Jouer Lip Enhancer ~ MY SAMPLE BROKE :(
- INCOCO Nail Polish Applique ~ I actually received the leopard print design I was hoping for, but these strips are not up to par. They claim to adhere and form to the shape of your nail but I did not find that to be true.
- LIV GRN Natural Eau De Parfum ~ This scent makes me so HAPPY. Its honestly my favorite sample from this birchbox , and I plan on purchasing the full size soon. I love the fact that it is all natural, and ec0- friendly. #WINWIN
XOXO, LAUREN <3

Shoe Haul w/ ShoeDazzle!
Ut-oh....
I fell head over heels for this shoe in the turquoise color, but unfortunately my size was sold out =(
Lucky for me purple was still available! This pair features a peep toe , as well as a slingback design .. SO CHIC! I love the design & color of the shoe but these will be going back. They run very small and the back of my foot hangs out a little too much for my liking. ( NOT CUTE)
Chanelle
Classic nude pump + Pink bottoms = LOVE
This pair is from the "signature pink" collection & features the "pink bottom".
Honestly its not the most comfortable shoe to walk in but the sexiness, and unique pop of color at the bottom makes this shoe a great buy. I cant wait to play up some outfits with these babies!
DASH
This shoe is remarkably comfortable considering the height. I cant wait to rock these with a great pair of skinnys. I will definitely be doing some DIY with this particular heel, to give it some more "POP". Stay tuned!

Shellz Treasures Review!
SHELLZTREASURES.COM
Leather Earrings
I absolutely adore this particular pair, they reminded me of the MOD era & are uber fly. They do have a distinct "leathery" smell. My favorite part is that they are sooo lightweight! #WINNER
Pink Linear Earrings
These are FIRE!!! NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. They are very bold, & eye catching, but are a bit on the heavy side =( Small price to pay for a magnificent earring!

MakeOvA #1....
My very good friend Miah had her 1st video shoot!!! Miah is an up & coming rapper/singer who has been doing her thing for a little over 3 years now. When she called me to do her makeup I was definitely mulling over the looks I wanted to create for her shots in the video.
Call time was 7am, and we went for a very simple bronzed look with a nude pink lip.
Before/After
For the performance scence we went for a dark vampy vibe w/ a dark purple smokey eye & purple lip.
We later changed it to mauve pink!
** Here are a couple of candids from her performance scene. She was a natural.
Wanna Collab? Kymiah1990@yahoo.com
S/O to all the female Rappers out there! #GirlPower
