Hello Everybody!!!!
So recently my dad brought home some new shampoos and conditioner and a bunch of other stuff. He got a lot of L'Oreal stuff. I think it might be new because I have never seen it before. I'm not usually the one to buy shampoos and conditioners. I let my mom do all that. 
But this time my dad got it and it was different. I am not all sure about how the shampoo is for my hair because I have not tried that all by itself yet. I have been using the shampoo and the balm together. 
The balm comes in a tub-like container and you use it like conditioner and leave it in for about 3-5 minutes. It claims that it will fix up to a years worth of damage. Now, I don't know about that.
My hair is super dry, especially since it's winter and it gets really damaged. I also have this thing where I find like a bunch of little fuzz in my hair because of how dry and frizzy my hair gets. I then end up not brushing my hair because it gets super tangled. I hated letting it down, hated having up in a bun or a pony tail, and I hated having it braided. Literally, I could not deal with my hair at all. I just wanted to chop it off. So I thought I would try it out. No harm in that.
At first I didn't see much of a change.And after a while I really noticed a big difference. 
Now I am not a professional on hair and don't know what is right and wrong for your hair and what feels good and what doesn't. But this balm is, personally, doing so much for me. 
My hair feels like how it does after I go and get treatment done at a hair salon.
Usually after I put in a different conditioner and rinse it off, I feel like the conditioner comes off my hair like it did nothing. But this product, I can feel it instantly help my hair. Then as I brush it after drying it, I notice that my hair is super soft. Then throughout the day I can tell that my hair feels more hydrated and healthier. 
My hair feels, honestly, amazing. I love it. I am so happy my dad got this balm thing. I have never been so happy with a hair product before in my life. It has done miracles. 
I have been using it like 2-3 times a week when I shower, but I as I continue using it, I feel like I don't need to. Like my hair still feels good after using the shampoo. I think I might try and see how it feels when I use it like once or twice a week. If that still works, I want to stick to that, because it really has done so much already, I don't feel like I need to continue using it so much. 
But yeah. I hope that you guys enjoyed reading this post. I don't usually have favorites, but this product is so amazing I HAD to share it with someone. Let me know if you have tried this product before and how it worked out for you. Let me know if you do buy and how you like it.
It's called the Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Damage Erasing Balm and Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Restoring Shampoo. We also have the conditioner, but I haven't used it yet. If you want that one as well, it is Advanced Haircare Total Repair 5 Restoring Conditioner.

Spring Fashion

Hey guys!! 
So I realized that spring break is coming up soon! A lot of people tend to go out traveling to warmer places or something fun. So I thought I might add a couple of outfits or clothing that I liked and write a blog about it. 
I know that some people live or are traveling to warmer places and some wont be, so I'm going to just write about different things you can wear for different weather. Where I live, we still need at least a light jacket, but I thought I would find some stuff that just reminds me of spring. 


This first one is super laid back. I love cropped tops. I think they're like a super cheeky thing. Especially with the loose ones, I think they look cute without looking like you're showing too much skin. I love her blue theme with her flats. And having your jeans or pants rolled up is, personally, like saying that it's getting warmer and super cute. 

So this is for those girls who live in colder places, but still want something springy. I love wearing cute clothes, but sometimes I get mad that I can't show it off during colder times because I am wrapped up in thick jackets. So for the spring time, I think it's super cute to have a fun colored jacket like this. I have one that is blue from Michael Kors and I think it's just perfect to add a bit of fun when you can show you cute outfit.



I think this outfit would be really nice to wear on like a casual date. The high-waisted skirt is quite feminine, but you can keep it super simple and casual with the top and sandals. I love the matching purse and the sunglasses that go with it too. Just imagine this with a sunset. 

This one is for obviously the places where it's warmer. I really loveeee high waisted everything right now and I thought this swim wear looks absolutely gorgeous. I love the color for the bottoms and the to is so different and I just love that it's stripes so that's really cute. I also love how she has it paired with sunglasses and big floppy hat. Just love it! 

 This last one is so casual, I love it. I think it would be really nice to wear on like a laid back day, going shopping or something. You can wear just the dress if it gets warm or layer it with the scarf and the cardigan. I also really love floppy hats and round sunglasses, I don't know if you can tell. I think that her shoes are just bring her outfit together. I just loved the color of this outfit. The pastel is so simple and cute for the spring times. 


So there are some of the outfits I thought would be really cute to try out this spring. I am currently loving high-waisted, round glasses, floppy hats and pastel things, so I kind of stuck with that theme. Let me know which ones you liked. If you want to see more outfits that I like you can follow me on Pinterest. I literally have a fashion board for each season and a bunch of other ones as well. Check it out!

Am I Alone?

Hey guys!!
So recently I have been feeling super bleh about how my life is. I literally don't know what I am doing anymore. I feel like I am always waiting for the day to end. I want to go out and do things, but as I have said before I don't get to hang out with a lot of my old friends and I don't really have any new ones. 
This sounds stupid saying out loud, but I feel like I am going to go crazy if I don't say it somewhere. I mean, I have told my brother this and a couple of my old friends, but I don't know why I still feel like I need to tell someone else, but I do. 
I am in a part of my life where I should be making big decisions about my future and making sure I do everything right so I do have a future. I have to go to school and do homework and pass classes and everything.
But I wish I could just stop. I want to scream my head off because everything is getting to be too much. I hate every second I am in school. I dread doing homework everything night. And recently, for some reason, I keep forgetting to do my homework. This usually NEVER happens. I used to be that person who no matter what, gets her homework done, because that was the easiest part of the class. I never really needed to write down what I needed to do, I usually just knew. But this semester, I have forgotten to do 5 homework so far. 
I feel like school is taking a huge part of me away from me. I use to be able to handle this. I used to tell myself only 4 years of college and I can be done, but now just 4 months of college scares me. I feel like I can't get myself to go through. 
On top of that, all my family friends keeps asking me about school and usually I would tell them that everything is good, but now I have to think twice about my answer and keep worrying about them asking me that because I am sick and tired of lying. 
I really wish I could just tell my parents that I don't want to go to school anymore. I want to start working. Even if its something little I just want to start working and stop wasting their money on sending me to school. 
Last Friday, I was walking through my school halls, where they had offices for different things like managing money or helping out the community. I was fine, just going from my class to the bathroom and back. And then I started thinking about if the counselors office were there or not. Then I kid you not, I wanted to cry. I wanted to walk into the counselors office and just bawl my eyes out. I am seriously scared about my life right now. Nothing is going right anymore. 
This is the first time in my life where school has effected my life this much. It gives me anxiety and this pressure to stay perfect, but I can't anymore. I am breaking... and I don't really know what to do and how to handle this.
I, sometimes, wish something horrible would happen to me, so I wouldn't have to go to school anymore. I know it's not the right this or a good thing, but I would sit and imagine me getting a concussion or something random and minor where I wouldn't have to deal with school. 
I am sorry if this was too much to put up. I don't know what to do anymore and how to stop feeling this way. I was hoping some of you guys might have some advice on what to do. Let me know. Thanks!
