PMD Review

Items in this post was sent to me for consideration; however that doesn't affect my thoughts on the product.

Taking care of my skin is kind of a BIG deal to me. I love wearing makeup but I love being barefaced too! I've dabbled with a lot of serums, moisturizers, peels, you name it and I've probably tried it. Living in S. FL, you have to always look your best so I was really excited to try out the PMD Personal Microderm system.

PMD Personal Microderm for ME takes the place the expensive/facial spa treatments. Like I said before I've used serums,moisturizers, etc before and while some of them are treatments I like I love being able to give myself a microdermabrasion without breaking the bank and I love that I go at my own pace.

The PMD works with a vacuum suction and exfoliation to remove the outer layer of the skin. This helps to she the top layer allowing the new healthy skin to shine through!The PMD Personal Microderm comes with an instructional dvd, a booklet, exfoliating disc and a power cord. I suggest reading the booklet and watching the dvd before using the system. It is very self explanatory and very useful! I use the Personal Microderm once a week and my skin hasn't been this damn good in a very long time! My skin has been very "off" lately, pregnancy has my skin and hormones all out of whack but being able to help my skin look it's best is my personal feat!

My Favorite Highlighters

Glow baby glow!!

For a long time I was uncomfortable with the idea of using highlighters. I would buy them but not use them. For the most part they would sit in my collection, collecting dust. I guess I was uncomfortable with the thought that using highlighters would make me look extra oily or greasy for some reason. Obviously that thought has changed, I love using highlighters! Here's a list of my favorites (in no particular order)

1. e.l.f. Baked Highlighter - Blush Gems

2. MAC In Extra Dimension Skin finish - Superb (LE)

3.Wet n Wild To Reflect Shimmer Palette - Video Bomb
4. MAC Extra Dimension Skin finish - Magnetic Appeal (LE)

E.L.F. Haul

It's no secret I love E.L.F products. Great items at a great price, who could beat that?!? Over the years I've purchased a lot....I mean A LOT of make up items from E.L.F and a lot of those products have become staples in my everyday makeup routine. They had a 50% off New and Bestsellers sale so I just had to pick up a few things, here's what I got!

My Natural Hair Struggle...

I've been going back and forth on the idea of blogging again....I have a food blog. I just haven't had the time or motivation to make dishes and take pics of them before I devour them, but in late 2012 I embarked on a natural hair journey and I want to share it!

November 17th, 2012, was the last time I got a relaxer. While sitting down with the relaxer in my head I had a moment....an epiphany!! I decided that would be the last time I tortured myself for straight hair. For months leading up to my decision, I had wavered on the idea. I constantly questioned whether other people would accept my natural hair, would men find me attractive, would I love my natural hair again? Being natural isn't new to me, but I don't ever remember it being such a big deal.

Going back to my natural hair was a decision based on me not seeing any progress with my relaxed hair. My hair would grow to my shoulder and break off. I was annoyed with that, and I remember growing up my hair was mid back and super thick. While I maintained the thickness the length was gone. My last year of middle school I told my mom I didn't want to get a perm anymore so she stopped perming my hair. My hair grew, it was thick and my curl pattern was sick but back then NO one had natural hair. When I would wear a wash and go I had girls ask if I was mixed and I couldn't understand why they'd ask that. So going back to natural I thought this would be just as easy as the first time right......WRONG! Seriously I don't know what I did differently but this transition has been horribly hard. Most days I honestly wished I had just shaved all my hair off, now a year after transitioning and chopping off my relaxed ends I still might.

Knowing what I know now, I would've thrown the blow dryer and curling iron out of the window. Heat damage is a son of a gun! After chopping off my relaxed ends I discovered that the whole left side of my head is heat damage, my hair is limp, no curl pattern, just length that I don't want. I mean what's the purpose of having natural curly hair if it doesn't curl!?! I've since been heat free for 4 months, wearing braids and moisturizing and sealing my hair at nights.

Natural hair, relaxed hair, texlaxed hair is all beautiful as long as you take care of it. I'm learning that as long as I keep my hair moisturized, sealed and protected it will look amazing!
