Coco who? Coco-nut

Ok that title probably didn't make any sense but at least it got your attention :-) 
I decided to write this blog after having a conversation with a customer at the MAC cosmetics counter at Macy's this week. I was speaking to the MAC makeup artist and telling her about my skin and hair care routine and I explained to her that I use coconut oil because I have really dry skin and it helps to hydrant it. So a young women asked  "did I over hear you say coconut oil?" I said yes I use it for my face,body, and hair. She said "but I thought it was only for cooking", and I told her that coconut oil has many different purposes. I explained that it works wonders for the skin and it helps your hair become more healthy and strong as well as helping it to grow. She was so intrigued by this and said that she will stop by the local health food store to get some. I told her that it's extra virgin coconut oil, and she can also purchase it from amazon. 
So long story short extra virgin coconut oil is a great dietary food additive and it's also great for your skin and hair. You will see a difference after some time and I will always recommend it over any top named brand hair and body cream product anyday.

It's Harem Time...


The newest style for this year are harem pants. They come in different colors patterns and they so comfortable. I bought serveal harem pants. They look a little bit funny, but after you try them on you will fall in love. They can be worn dressed up or dressed down, no matter how it's worn you will love them. At first I was kind of skeptical about these MC hammer styled pants. I really thought they were silly looking 90's pants that would not last as a fashion statement, but I was wrong. It's a really great fashion look and I couldn't believe that I fell in love with them. I tried a pair on from forever21 and I couldn't believe how much I liked them. They are so comfortable and so form fitting. So if you want to try a new style this year, you should try the harem pants, you will not be disappointed. 

Here are some pics for how you can wear them. The last pic are the pants that I purchased. I bought it from forever21 which I paired  up with a cable knit black sweater and some flats.
   I paid $15.80 for the pants and the sweater I paired with it was $18 which was originally $27.50.

My favorite products that gives that natural look

MAC 
Paint pot in Groundwork
Blacktrack fluidline
Honeylove lipstick
Chickory lipliner 

I've used these products for a nature look when going on job interviews or when I just want to go out with minimal makeup. It's fast and simple. It's also a good look for school where you wouldn't want to wear heavy makeup. I apply the groundwork to my eyelids and the liner to my lash line. I then apply Chickory lip liner and top it off with honeylove lipstick. This take no more then 5 minutes to apply
