beauty essentials

i get asked quite often what makeup products i use. there's no way i could fill you in on every product i use in one post because i have an unglodly amount of makeup. maybe one day i'll let you take a peek at my collection but for now i picked out my top 8 products that i presently could not live without. well i'm sure i could live without them but it wouldn't be pretty!

my 100th post!!!

can you believe it? today is my 100th post!

 yay. 

the funny thing is what i am blogging about for my 100th post. it's positively silly. 

today's post is about hair. yes, you heard me right, hair. ever since i was a small fry i've had curly hair. 
and i'm sure when i was a child it was darling but as i grew up it became the thorn in my flesh. uncontrollable, frizzy, whacked out curly hair. 

below is one of the ways i regularly wear my hair.

blown out with a round brush for the roots and a flat brush for the ends and then straightened with a flat iron.

this is how i mostly wear my hair. {sorry for the awesome awful pic.} 
blown out again and styled with a curling iron.


now below my loves is what my hair does when i get out of the shower and simply let it air dry . . .

hello crazy 80's hair. it's actually a lot less curly now since i had my babe but still looks like something straight from a heart music video. 

{side note: i also have been dealing with a sinus infection for the past week, i have no make-up on and i'm still in my pajamas. sorry for all the grossness.} 

anyhooo . . . i know women always say we should embrace the natural beauty God has given us etc. etc. but is it ok that i just don't like my curly hair? that i would rather straighten it every day if i have to? am i a disgrace to women all over the world? {just kidding about that last part.} 

what do you think? and do you have a hair dilemma? please doooo tell. 

happy cinco de mayo!!!
