ugh. I hate using 'haha' in text. It looks to like, "Ah haha" ya know?

Another great day with Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to the spa she works at (shes a skin care person and massage person plus facial person. LOL.) it smelt SO SO SOOO good there like, AHH so good.
As a gift she gave me skin things from the line PCA Skin. Ekk! I am so excited!

The first boutique we went to was called 'Her Turn', where they had some awesome vintage-inspired stuff. I tried on this amazing yellow dress by Plastic Island. Seriously I thought Plastic Island was only online but it wasn't! If that dress was $2 I would get 7. LOL but it was $120 or something.

Every time we went into a boutique I had to ask if I could take pictures. I love how Kelly would go, "She is a fashion student, she's studying the store layout and facade of it'" then they would smile and say, "ok, go for it!"

Their were two ladies setting some product up and next thing I knew one lady in a long, black, white and fuchsia maxi dress started talking to me. Her name was Jessica.

The product they were setting up was Sweet Notions, (Sweetnotions.org) where they turn old accessories into fab new creations and donate the profit. They said to keep in touch and would like to hear about my progress as a designer. (Designer? lol what?)

UGH OK NO 'haha''s. Idk why but I just can't stand them! It looks (to me personally) to like, ambercrombie-flip-flop-girl-text-with-her-touchscreen-oh-lol-backward-smilie-face. LOL. Yeah, I just changed my haha to a lol.

This cute Cole Haan bag? $295.00


LOVE the color of the Kensie jacket, but I don't really love the jacket itself.

Pantene- Is really as good as Stacy London says?

I pulled some stuff from the interwebz about the Pantene shampoo and conditioner that Stacy London was sponsoring, to see if it was actually worked for others.
"I really wish my hair would be soft & silky like the model in the commercial w/ Stacy London (What Not to Wear). I've tried Pantene before a couple of years ago, but I wasn't very thrilled. But after seeing this commercial I want to give it another try. I was thinking about the "beautiful lenghts" line. Pantene users or anyone who's tried it-I need your opinions. Thanks!! "

I almost fell for that commercial too!! I have used Pantene, volumizing shampoo and conditioner, and it fried/dried my hair. Took me months to get it to be normal again. The mousse also dried it out terribly. Never again.

I tried Pantene once. It fried my hair. I have no chemical processing at all and it dried it out so bad it wasn't funny. Took 2 weeks of daily in-depth cholestrol treatments to get it back to normal. Oh and this was using both the shampoo and the conditioner.

it makes my hair all poofy and crap when i use it.

No Pantene products [do not] work because they have this chemical that coats your hair with this wax and makes it feel soft but it actually damages your hair and when you wash your hair with Pantene products just feel your hair while its being washed and it will feel very rough and that's the wax coating it.

pantene is rubbish...it actually puts a clear 'film' type stuff around each strand of hair when you wash it..that how it is so shiny but it is basically wrecking your hair in the long run.

My hair dresser HATES Pantene! All of the stylists at my salon can't stand it because of the buildup it creates in your hair and scalp.

Of corse, any hairstylist is going to say that the drugstore over-the-counter product is going to be crap, so you pretty much need to rely on your own personal experience with the product or your friends and family's experience.

"How can I reduce the zits on my face?"

"How can I reduce the zits on my face?"
Let's face it, no one has perfect skin.

Whether your eleven or seventeen, your bound to get some kind of ugly temporay facial marking.

You scrub and scrub, pile on the products and wake up in the morning with false hope lingering over you. Only to find they have increased drastically, the little devils climbing all up you nose and onto your forehead.

Okay, okay. Maybe not that dramatic. But you get the point.

One of my secrets to remove blemishes is toothpaste.

What? Yes, toothpaste.

Your totally going to need to trust me on this one.

What you will need is a basic toothpaste such as Crest or Colgate. It can't have whitening in it.

After washing your face like you normally do with cleanser -I recommend the Mary Kay Velocity- take a small amount onto your finger, then apply to the spots with acne. ONLY apply to the places where you have acne. Like, it's ok if it touches your skin (lol) just don't smuther your entire face in toothpaste!

Wait about twenty minuets. It will feel a bit uncomfortable and might feel as if it's burning it. DO NOT WIPE IT OFF just because it feels a bit painful!!!! It's cleaning out the pore and going to cause the pimple/zit to not grow any larger!!

Then just wash it off after twenty minuets and apply your moisturizer.

Repeat this prosses for a few days, you should see results!!
