Playing with colors

I recently decided to get a new 'do and play with some colors. And why not? I don't work during the summer and I won't have any parents looking at me weird for having crazy hair. I haven't colored my hair in over a decade, so I figured, it's time to try something new. And so I went a little wild and followed these pins for inspiration.



I really wanted to go for blue streaks, rather than purple, but I couldn't really find any blue streaks on Pinterest for me to show my stylist. She finally told me, that the blue would end up fading into green and she suggested to go for purple instead. Despite her suggestion, I still pushed blue streaks for my hair. Therefore, we compromised and she added both fashion colors to the blonde streaks she had to create on my hair in order to strip it of color.

She and I couldn't be any more happy with the results as she even took me outside to take pics to add to her Instagram!


And below, are my selfies. It's hard to appear inconspicuous when the neighborhood gardeners keep driving by.


Alhough I probably should've listened to her because two weeks later, my blue streaks are now beginning to fade into green. C'est la vie!
I totally love my new 'do and can't wait to wear it out and about....as long as its not hot, humid, nor raining. Then the color will bleed, I will begin to sweat, and the locks will turn into poof balls. 

Have you tried anything new lately?

It's Magical!!

I may have a slight love for Harry Potter.
I mean, really slight.




I tend not to spoil myself with jewelry or clothes.
But thanks to the power of Facebook, I saw this little advertisement for Ashley Bridget....and BAM!

I got myself this awesome Harry Potter inspired bracelet called Wizardry...it's got a snitch, some cute owls, and the Deathly Hallows sign. How appropriate right!?

#BrushWhitenGo Influenster Review!

A few weeks ago, Influenster sent me a complimentary sample of Colgate's Optic White new Whitening toothbrush with whitening pen for me to test out and tell you all about it.

I must say it is a breeze to use! Brush, rinse, click 2x, place product on teeth, and you are reading to go!! Considering that you can brush your teeth and place the whitening paste on it just as fast is a no-brainer! I am definitely happy that this product is out there!



Although I haven't quite noticed the big difference when using these, I must tell you that I do drink coffee and wine, and despite these, I think this product has helped in keeping my teeth a little whiter!

But let me stop there, I'll let you be the judge.

What do you think?? Does my smile look brighter and whiter?

Day 5:

Day 8:



I know I will keep up with my #BrushWhitenGo regimen!

This hair makes me ROARRRRR

This was my lovely mane yesterday morning...


How does this lovely mane [or bed head] look happen?
It was wild I tell you! It happens when I go to bed right after washing my hair. And then *poof* this occurred!


But right after some brushing, combing, ironing, and blow drying...



My mane is a little more like the me that goes to work now. 
Someday I'll make sure to wear my mane appropriately to work. 

Does your bed hair ever surprise you when you least expect it?

What I Wore: Style Sessions

Hello there my little lovelies. 
I'm linking up today with Lauren from Stylelixir to show you what I wore!


I had a little shindig I went to this weekend and this is the outfit I came up with.
My current living situation has minimized my closet to 1/4 of what it really is. That's why I have to get creative and try new things and new combinations.


I didn't have my trusty hubby (aka my personal photographer) with me so I took some selfies with my iPhone.
Please excuse my background and messy bedroom.


A little office chic, a little street fun...


I'm in love with my new iPhone case too.

Jacket - H&M | White Long Sleeve - Ross |  Jeans - Guess | Boots - Material Girl | Watch - Michael Kors | Necklace - Gifted

Oh yeah..I also got to hold this gorgeous baby. 



Apparently, everyone was telling me this was my best accessory...hmmmmm

Chipped Polish Fix!

My lovely and sweet friend Gabriella from Love.From.Londres. just blogged about how to get an amazing quick fix for that manicure that has started to chip at the tip! 

[In my best high school girl voice:] 
This is literally, THE best idea ever invented...EVER! 

I am super lazy and clumsy, therefore having to remove and reapply a full coat of polish requires tons of patience as I sit and wait for the manicure to dry. 
Of course, the following ensues: I get hungry, I get the urge to pee, my phone rings, I graze my couch with my nails....Yup, never a dull moment...

This was super quick and all I needed was less than 10 minutes and 1 shot of Patron Orange Citroen in between coats!




So this is what Gabriella's got to say to fix your mani:

Because of the amazing texture achieved with glitter/shimmer polishes, you can cover up chips, dents and cracks very easily with out anyone suspecting a thing, it looks pretty darn cute too!

3 easy steps:

1. mask off the area of nail you want, I chose a simple french tips style but you could be more adventurous with stensils.

2. apply 1-2 coats of the glitter/shimmer polish.

3. peel back the masking tape and apply a top coat, I used Sally Hansen Advanced Hard as Nails.

**Since I lack patience, I used Essie's Good to Go Top Coat. 
It is awesome and dries in seconds!!**

Go visit Gabriella! She is one of the sweetest British girls I've met and she is a fluent Spanish speaker!
