Does Main N Tail make your hair grow faster?

QA lot of people want to grow their hair out me in particular I recently got a short bob due to over coloring and I was in need of a dead end trimming so we cut it all off.  And then I kept hearing about Mane N Tail an how it makes your hair grow super fast so I said what the heck why not.
I've been using it for a week now and I have yet to see these amazing results though my hair is softer and shinier so there's always an upside :) 
If you want to try it you can order it from below:

Intrigued

I don't know if you guys know this but i am a huge reader and often times writer. I started this blog because I was intrigued by the idea of having a blog and well now I am intrigued by something else.  Meaning that I have no plans of quitin on this blog however, I am writing something on the side.  I am deeply in love with Greek mythology !!!!NERD ALERT!!!!! Anywho I have had a sort of story playing around in my head for the past couple of months and have just now started to actually think about putting it down on paper.  The kinks never seemed to work out, but I think they might this time.  I'm not putting really anything out anywhere because let's face it I'm paranoid and I really want this to work out for me. 
This isn't all of it but this is a section.  I'm just starting and there's a long road ahead but writing is something I am passionate about and I intend to see what comes from this.  At the moment my support group consists of my family and not even all of them know how serious I am about this.  It may take a year or 4 but I'm determined and I would love if I had my followers support too. 

It's a long shot but thank you for anyone who read this!

The Weekly #1

Its Friday so I thought I might do an update. So Hi!  Hmm this week well lets see as you can tell from my last post here I wasn't really feeling the greatest today.  Thanks mother nature, add in a cold and Im just doin splendid down here.  However this week wasn't too awful, I went out to one of my favorite chain restaurants to eat, Longhorns (I have a slight addiction to their chili cheese fries).  Tuesday I went back to practice (my legs are killing more than I care to admit #cheerprobs) let me tell you practicing for 8 hours a week really does a toll on your body.  Wednesday I made an investment into this baby.  (im in love with it) perfect for cheerleading plus only $0.99 to fill it up that's 100 oz. I probably really don't need.
 
 
 
 
Lets see tonight I went and saw the movie Enders Game, I cant tell you how much I enjoyed that movie.  I of course went with one of my best friends Heather.  The movie while quite odd in a sense is about an alien army that attacked earth, we barely won so in an effort to prepare we gathered the smartest children and are training them to lead our army.  The movie follows a boy named Ender who is a tactical genius. 
In my own opinion you never see the ending coming and I couldn't have been happier with the movie.  Although now I have a problem this is just one more movie I am dying for the sequel to come out.
 
  • The hunger games (last movie)
  • The Mortal Instruments (2nd movie)
  • The Vampire Academy (still haven't seen the 1st but read the books)
  • Enders game
 
Too many movies to keep up with and im about to add another to my list The legend of Hercules is the movie I am seeing tomorrow and I am pumped.  Greek mythology junkie + Kellen Lutz (AKA Emmett Cullen) = Total Fangirling

A remedy for a sick day

I usually am sick somewhere around once a month.  I know aweful, but I'm so succeptible to the cold and bronchitis it is the craziest thing.  With this my face gets puffy from congestion and add the time of month into that and I've got some lovely acne into the mix.  So I've got a couple things I really enjoy when I'm sick: 
A cup of hot sweet tea or hot chocolate (I'm southern guys don't judge too much) 
A good movie (for now it'll be a Christmas movie) 
My babies (Aspen and tigger)
And a good mask to take away all that yuckyness on my face 
Lordy Lordy knows I've been trying to find a mask that works with my skin well an I haven't found my exact skin care soulmate just yet but I'm gonna take a page from http://www.etcllymlrs.com/ and order the Aesop Chamomile Concentrate Anti-Blemish Masque.  Who knows maybe I'll find my perfect match to win the war of my skin.  But for now I'm going to be using Clinical Skin Solutions: skin polishing crystals.  They have an almost coconut smell to it and it makes your skin feel amazing and soft though doesn't do much for redness. 
See you later loves.

New and Scary!

For those of you that don't know I love to dye my hair...I like changing it up, however that gets to be a problem after a little while If you don't do it healthily.  My problem:

Black(June 2013)  --> 3 processes later Blonde (August 2013)  ---->  Brown (October 2013)  ----> Black with red highlights (November 2013) =  Lift to Red hair and the cutting off of almost all my hair. (Today)
Unfortunately not the best picture 
Its really sad because I have been trying to grow my hair back out and now I am at an even further starting point than I was before.  So I am now fashioned with a short bob.  Agreed it is cute and everyone ( I mean everyone no exaggeration) wants my hair cut and color.  If only they knew how quick I would trade it all for my long hair back.  So girls if you're looking to dye your hair take it from me do it the right way.  I have been dying my hair for a long time and I am usually good at keeping my hair healthy however going from light to dark too quick is never good. 

So the hot oil treatments, the trying of different shampoos, and the odd remedies begin.  The process to long healthy hair will be a lengthy one and I am willing to do what it takes even if that includes using horse shampoo.  Ive heard it actually works rather well.

Any opinions?

Growing Your Hair Out!!!!!

How many of you have ever tried one of those homemade hair remedies???  Okay so I had one of my friends ask me the other day if I would try out this recipe for her.  The recipe is said to be able to grow your hair out while keeping it completely healthy (I'm a little bit skeptical that it'll work) I've heard it all before.  Now I did my research...some of the ingredients it wants to use I have read that hair dressers do recommend them.  So maybe we'll strike a pot of gold and in the end win!
Over the years I've tried it all.  Does anyone remember that one article on Seventeen Magazine about how to get your hair super shiny?  Well I do and I thought "hey lets try it out!" moral of the story....Don't do it!  The yogurt and egg made my hair stink and I still had stuff in my hair the next day.
Maybe you'll remember this one...Sorry but it is also from Seventeen.  In my defense I was a freshman in high school when I tried this and am regretful to tell you that I did it despite how lame it sounded!  I mean smashing a banana into your hair.  But by all means maybe it will work better for you than it did for me.
Now this recipe unlike the other too aren't for shine or strengthening its for growth.  Last winter I had the same hair color I have now, yet during the summer I decided to go back blonde, why don't ask, but the result was the same I had to cut off my long locks due to damage and split ends.

 
So I'm hoping this recipe rings true just as much as you guys. So here's what we have to do:
Recipe:
  • one bottle shampoo(your choice)
  • red onion
  • honey
  • rosemary
Cut the onion into small pieces, in half a cup of water boil the rosemary for 5 minutes and add 5 tablespoons of honey.  Put all the ingredients in your shampoo. And its ready to use.
 
You all know I am a skeptic and this recipe just has a dash of crazy sounding in it, but I'm willing to try anything once so here's the before picture
I use this only because my hair was straight in the picture! 
I'll post a progress picture in two weeks and we can compare the results feel free to try it with me!
Any other remedies you'd like me to try?  Comment below!
 

Competition Make up Must haves

When I was growing up I couldn't wait to smear makeup all over my face.  I had watched my mom do it and at the age of 9 I was praying I would grow up and be able to us it already.
As a Competitive Cheerleader knowing how to apply makeup is something you have to know how to do.  We all have our go to products the ones we use  on a day to day basis no matter what.  Those things that take us from Simple to WOW!



 
 
 
 
 
 
Now I have a handful of go to essentials for when I'm getting ready for a competition.  I also use most of them on a day to day basis yes that includes the lipstick.  Before we begin I want to apologize for the overload of Sephora products I recently had a splurge and this was the result.
 
1. Kat Von D: lock it tattoo foundation now I just started using this foundation in October and found it to be very fitting.  I like a full coverage foundation for those days when being a female is a pain and my face breaks out.  The other thing I really like about this foundation is the fact that it applies really well and doesn't smear during the day.  I get mine at Sephora, and its not the cheapest but the bottle lasts a while.  I'm still on my first bottle.
 
2. Tarte: smooth operator made out of Amazonian Clay this finishing powder had to make my list of must haves.  Its box guarantees you'll have smoother skin after using this product.  And while doing that it has this amazing super power for girls with oily skin it makes that nasty oily look vanish into thin air. I also get this at Sephora.
 
3. Sephora's Favorites: Draw the Line Eyeliner Sampler a kit that includes brands such as Stilla, Sephora, 24/7, and Makeup For Ever for only $30 that was a steal I couldn't resist.  There are 3 smudge eyeliners and 3 liquid eye liners.  This kit also includes 3 waterproof eyeliners. Girls this is perfect for those tear jerker dates and movie nights. Can you guess where this one came from...Sephora would be it! 
 
4. Kat Von D: Tattoo Liner by far one of the best liquid eye liners I have ever used.  Its felt tip is soft yet firm so its not poking you in the eye.  With this it also has a fine tip that you can use for many different looks.  This is also found at Sephora.
 
5. Smashbox: Full Exposure Mascara this mascara definitely adds definition.  It has a thick wand and adds lots of volume to your lashes.  What I love about this mascara is that it also happens to be waterproof.
 
6.Benefit's: They're Real!  HOLY SHOOT stop and just revel in this mascara!  If you go and get this mascara and you are disappointed then I will take full responsibility for it.  However, I will guarantee that you will not be disappointed.  This mascara adds length to your lashes and volume that you couldn't believe.  The only down side to this mascara is that it is not waterproof sadly.  And for those skeptics out there that like to taste the fruit before you dive in, they also sell this in a baby size. Also found at Sephora or online.
 
7.  Nicka K Cosmetics: Lip Pencil in Red This has to be my favorite lip pencil.  It is a nice matte pencil with a smooth finish.  The color is bold and absolutely beautiful.  This pencil you can find at Sephora and costs no more than $10.
