First Post of 2012

Please forgive me! Life has taken over and I have found myself on the freaking twenty-seventh of January writing my FIRST blog entry of the year. SMH. I should be ashamed of myself. Who does this? Me of course. I have been so busy trying to stay.... sane. Yup. That's pretty much it. Just stay sane. So much shit has happened lately.. Idk where to begin........

My BFF Brooke gave birth to my goddaughter Brooklynn Alyse on January 9, 2012. She weighed 7lbs 6oz & she absolutely ADORABLE! I am so in love. I had baby fever for a minute but after taking care of her by myself last night--- yea. I'm definitely over the baby fever. The little mulatto princess sneezed breastmilk alllll over my face. lol.

Grr... so much has happened. I'm sleepy. I shall write later on tonight. Big things will happen in 2012. Mark my words.

December Twist Out

So I took down my twists after a little over a week I guess. Or maybe it was JUST a week. Who knows. I got bored one night & wanted a change so... voila! enjoy :)

Sadly it only lasted 2-3days & I ended up bunning it on the third & washing on the 4th.

ImPress Press-On Manicure

I was soooo excited when I received my Holiday Vox Box from Influenster, & even more excited when I saw that it included imPress Press-On Manicure by Broadway in the print dubbed 'Dancing Queen' !!! The coolest part? I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program! Yay!!! PLUS, I was in desperate need of a manicure & had extra time on my hands that day so I instantly tried them out.


 Why try out imPress Press-On Manicure?! Well the website boasts:

• Salon manicure in seconds
• No drying time
• Superior, lasting shine
• Easy removal
• Lasts up to a week.

 My verdict? Since Wednesday, I've lost 3 nails. The adhesive isn't quite strong enough to endure my frequent hand washing. Next time I'll add a bit of nail glue just so I won't be losing nails in customers' bags (Yes, this happened today *sigh*) If I had any other job, the print would have been wayy too crazy. But I so love Dancing Queen.!  It took way longer than just a few seconds to put each nail on. I mean, you have to choose the correct nail size for each finger, prep your nails with the cleansing cloth included in the package, peel off the adhesive tab, place the nail & and press down for dear life to make sure it sticks... smh. Definitely took me over 8mins to apply. 

On a positive note, imPress Manicure retails for $5.99 for colors and $7.99 for patterns so if it doesn't last as long as you'd like, you're not out of a LOT of money. Plus it's available at CVS, Rite Aid, Duane Reade, KMart, Walgreens, Walmart and more so you can virtually find them anywhere-- even if you live in the middle of nowhere. I mean, just about every town has a Walmart or CVS/Walgreens. In case you live in an area that doesn't have these stores visit. www.imPressManicure.com for a full list of online and in-store retailers. You can also download an exclusive coupon and virtually try on all the colors and patterns!  **Watch me OPEN my vox box!!**
