Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner" Review (Day 7)


Hey everyone!

So today's theme is beauty. I'm going to start off with my essential hair product that I need to have everywhere I go. I'll give you some background on my hair: It's CURLY!! Reallyyyyyy curly! Sometimes I find it hard to take care of but I manage. And with curly hair the key to styling is to do it when it's wet. And a product that makes it 10000x easier is Paul Mitchell "The Conditioner".

It is a leave-in conditioner with a gel-like consistency. If you don't already know, leave-in conditioner is a product that you use when your hair is wet. They help untangle knots, give moisture as well as control. This is my favorite leave-in, and I have been using leave-in since my hair was long enough to comb. Luckily, my mom has curly hair as well and already searched for the perfect product. Here are some pros and cons:

Pros:
  1. You don't need too much, a little goes a long way. So, you can get a lot of use out of one bottle.
  2. It gives my hair SO much moisture and control. On days when I don't have it available my hair is all frizzy and hard to manage.
  3. After I get out of the shower my hair is tangled and dry, but once I put this stuff in I can comb it in a minute. So it makes it really easy for school or when I need to get ready quick.
Cons:
  1. You cannot buy it at a drugstore, but you can find it at many beauty shops such as Ulta, Sally's and many others.
  2. It is pricier than other leave-in conditioners but like I said a little goes a long way for this. So I think that you can get in a lot more use than other brands.
That was my review. Here is a picture:

You can usually find this product at $12-$20 depending on the place where you bought it. I totally recommend this product it will change your hair life :)

QOTP:
1. Do you plan on using this? Why or why not?
2. Is there another product you want me to review? Let me know!

Quote of the Week (Day 6)

"Laziness is attractive but hard work gives satisfaction" -Anne Frank

I think about this quote and recite it over and over in my head when I'm at the gym and I am striving for that extra mile. Days when I sit on the computer all day makes me feel like I haven't done anything but days like today when I have gone to church, make jewelry, walk the dog, bake, and plan a trip make me feel accomplished and satisfied. If I tried to live my life like this everyday, I think I could be a lot happier.

Just some thoughts. Leave me a comment about your interpretation or opinion about the quote. <3

Review of Week (Day 5)

Hey everyone!

Today's theme is review of week. I used to play a game with my friend's family at dinner saying our high point of the day and our low point. So I'll stretch it out a bit longer and say it for the whole week.

High Points
  • I started a blog! I'm really happy and I've been wanting to this for a very long time. I'm trying to promote it the best I can and hopefully it will be successful. If you're reading this just leave a comment saying, "Hi" or something. I would really like to talk to this little blogosphere. And if you enjoy them, you can follow me :) Any feedback is good feedback.
  • Sam got groomed :) He is so so cute! It's not exactly what I was thinking but it suits him well. He was really scared when we left him at the groomer but so happy when he saw us again.
  • My friends and I started a hair accessory business. They are pretty much flowered headbands, hair ties, and clips. If you are interested please let me know! We hope that this brings much success :)
Low Points...wah wah waahhh :(
  • The weather this week was LOUSY! Ugh! Usually this time of year, the average temperature is over 80 but this week it was in the low 60's and terribly cloudy. I actually really enjoy that type of weather but during summer when I can be at the beach or outside. When that type of weather is during school, I don't feel as bad staying inside pretty much all day.
  • I stayed up really late each night this week. I hate staying up late because I get woken up early by Sam and my mom, and when that happens I have a horrible headache the whole day.
Okay that is pretty much it! Overall, not a bad week, not bad at all!

QOTP:
1. How was your week? Tell me the highs and lows.
2. Do you have a blog? Leave me a link and I will check it out and write a comment and follow you! :)

10 Things About My Dog (Day 3)



Hey everyone!

I recently got a dog (well like 4 months ago) named Sam. He was found in front of a school, starving and homeless. Animal Control got a hold of him and put him into the local shelter. Another agency called "Second Chance Dog Rescue" picked him from the shelter and gave him to a foster parent. Through very strange (yet lucky) coincidences, we found Sam with the foster parent and fell in love with him right away. He is my favorite dog in the world! And here is ten things about him:

1. We're not really sure about his breed. Being that he was stranded, we've been having to take guesses. So we think he is Lhasa Apso, Maltese and/or Shitzu or a combination of either of those.

2. When we first got him, the shelter registered his name as "Clancy". Although this might be great for some dogs, our family thought that the name "Sam" fitted him much better.

3. He LOVES to eat. He will eat pretty much anything. His favorite treats are bananas! Whenever I go to my grandma's house she has to put up her dogs' food bowls because he will eat all of their food.

4. His fur (hair) is so hard to take care of! I will brush it one day and find a brand new mat the next. We have to bathe him at least 2 times a week to keep him clean because the dirt sticks to his hair so much.

5. He has his precious babies, as we like to call them. My brother had some old Webkinz that he didn't use anymore up on a high shelf. One day we came home and he had all of them in a line. He would put one in his mouth and walk around, set it down somewhere then start licking it. It was THE cutest thing ever. He has never tore one apart nor lose one. To this day you can find him with one in his mouth.

6. He will bark at the slightest sound (my fingers popping) but he will sleep through a 7.1 earthquake (he really did). If our upstairs neighbor steps a little harder on the ground in the middle of the night, Sam will bark his little head off! But so far he has slept through about 4 earthquakes!

7. He is scared of... oh no please! Not those evil, evil... babies! Babies? Yeah and toddlers also. He will hide behind my legs if he sees one and make a point to not let them touch him. But he can run up to a Mastif and start sniffing his butt!

8. He gets those under-eye purple stains! They are such a pain :P But I guess they give him character.

9. When we got him he was only 14 pounds, which is really tiny for his size. You could see his ribs :( But after a month he is already 20 pounds! Wheesh! Told you he loves to eat.

10. Last but not least, he knows 4 tricks that I taught him all by myself: sit, beg, shake and high five. There will be video of that probably next week :)

Here are some pictures:


He's the one on the left. He had gotten neutered from the shelter. On the right is the foster parent's dog, Bronson.


QOTP:

1. Do you have a dog? If so, what breed?
2. Do you have any remedies or products that can help the tear stain problems?

The Latest News in Celebrity Gossip-- Lindsay Lohan, Jillian & Ed, and more! (Day 2)

Hey everyone!

Today is my first trial of the schedule to the right. Today is celebrity gossip, and boy there is a lot!

Lindsay Lohan, the 24 year-old actress who starred in "Mean Girls", "Freaky Friday" and "Parent Trap", was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab for violating her probation by missing some of her weekly alcohol-education classes for a DUI in 2007. The footage of her sentence in court shows her crying along with her father, Michael Lohan and sister, Ali Lohan, when she found out she was going to jail. She had previously messed up in court when she failed to show up to a mandatory review hearing. She claimed that her passport was stolen at the Cannes Film Festival. As a result, she had to wear a SCRAM anklet alerting the police if any alcohol was in her bloodstream.


I think that this will be good for her and that it will defiantly teach her a lesson. I don't have much sympathy for her, you do the crime you pay the time. She really shouldn't be that shocked that the judge ordered her time in the slammer. I mean she tweeted about a purse on sale during the hearing, not to mention on her middle finger she had F--- U painted on it.

In other news, Jillian Harris and fiancé, Ed Swiderski reported that they are breaking up or in their words, "Reevaluating their relationship". Jillian Harris was "The Bachelorette" and chose Ed after he had already left her for his work then decided to come back.

To tell you my opinion, I'm not surprised at all. How many seasons of "The Bachelor" have there been? And how many successful relationships have followed after? I think the producers should notice the pattern and either change it up or cancel the show. I have only watched 2 seasons, this one with Ed and Jillian being one of them, and I can't bring myself to watch the show anymore. The two hour episodes and the long, drawn out "drama" is just a waste of time that I would rather be um... blogging!

Lastly, there were reports from Star magazine there were reports that Joel Madden had cheated on Nicole Richie in West Palm Beach Club. The alleged reporter, DJ J.R. Hutter tells E!Online that the reports are completely made up both the story and the quotes. So the happy couple is doing well.

Happy birthday to Ringo Starr, Jaden Smith, Tom Hanks, and Jessica Simpson who all had their birthdays this week!

QOTP: (Question(s) of the post):
1. What's your opinion of Lindsay Lohan's jail sentence? Do you think she deserved it? Any sympathy?

2. Were you surprised that Jill and Ed's relationship didn't last? Do you watch the Bachelor?

Okay see you tomorrow! If you have anything to say just leave a comment!

Introduction (Day 1)

Okay! First blog of well... my life. This is something that I have been wanting to do for a very long time. At first I wanted to do vlogging (video-logging) on YouTube, but because of lack of materials and I guess not enough confidence I have turned to blogging which, I am very very excited for. Although I'm young, I think that I can bring a lot to the table. I'm turning fifteen in two weeks and I need an objective for this year of my life, hence the blogs. I'm starting a bit early but hey, doesn't the early bird catch the worm?

Some days there will be recipes, favorites (movies, makeup, TV), outlooks, celebrities and stories. Pretty much my life in words. There will be a joke everyday at the end of it because I love jokes!

I'm mostly doing this blog for me, but I would absolutely love it if people like you enjoyed them as well. I will try to keep them short and and informative. Please let me know if you have any advice for me or just want to talk! Well that's enough for now. See ya tomorrow.

Joke: -Did you hear about the fire at the circus?
- It was intense.
