Last night before I went to bed I decided to browse through my neglected March 2010 ed. of Cosmopolitan. Boy, am I glad I did. I have a little list going on some things I am going to do & things I am going to buy. I will definitly review my products here for you too! :)

So, the list(s)..

To Do:
*Darken the bottom layer of my hair.
*Gloss hair twice a month.
*Get hair trim

To Buy:
*L'Oreal; Everstong, Overnight Repair Treatment for hair
*L'Oreal Healthy Look Creme Gloss in Clear
*Pantene Pro-V; Beautiful Lengths Shampoo & Conditioner
*Clairol Semipermanent hair color in two shades darker than my own
*Clinique; High Lengths, mascara
*LaROCCA; Shield Multi-Active Lip Balm

To buy all of the above, will cost me around $100. So I'm going to do this a little at a time. The most important things to me are the hair gloss and the overnight hair repair. I get my hair highlighted regularly so I really need them. Once my hair feels a little stronger, I'll dye the bottom half, or maybe even the whole thing...we'll see.

I am definitly not afraid of change when it comes to beauty & I suggest you not be affraid either. Change is good. :)

Look out for pix and reviews!!

Because I want to

So as you all can see, I made this blog last December. I wasn't really that into it, so I sort of "let it go". However, since then a lot has been going on!

My boyfriend & I moved out of our apartment & into our first home! (Very exciting!) Living in a house is much more different than living in an apartment. You learn new things everyday. My main thing right now is upkeep, upkepp, upkeep!!! I find it much more difficult to keep things in order in a home. Yes, I know it's weird because a home is SO much larger than an apartment. But seriously, when we moved in, I had these visions in my head of how I wanted the interrior to look. Well acheiving those "looks" is a lot harder than thought. So right now I am going room by room and trying new things. The key, room by room. This is my new philosophy on getting the home "done". I say "done" because now that I have lived here for over two months, I have come to realize a home is never "done". You always want to make changes and you always want something better.

So, things to focus on: (weather your home is new OR NOT)

-Organization- I have found that the more organized I am, the eaiser my life is. I am a new fan of bowls, baskets, bins & containers. I will post some examples later.
-Cleanliness- A home tends to gather more dust, bugs & mold than an apartment. I suggest one massive cleaning day; wipe EVERYTHING down with bleach and hot water. Then upkeep once a week. (It will only take a few minutes out of your day.) I also try to vacuum once a week, but haven't really been "on it" recently.
-Germs-One thing I LOVE about home living is having our own washer & dryer. LOVE IT! It's very important to wash your bath towels, bath matts & bed sheets every week. Germs suck.

Great products to kill germs & clean; Lysol Disinfecting Wipes & Lysol Disinfectant Spray.

My goal with this blog is to share what I learn and what I know. It isn't always going to be based on home living and cleaning. It will be about life. Beacuse I want to. :)

Post one!

I made a blogger, obvs. Now it's time for bed!! I have had a long day! Nite nite!
