It’s been 7 months since I decided to make that change… I have always been generally a thin person. I first experienced weight gain right after I graduated college. What freshman 15? I gained the senior 30! I went from walking around the beautiful LSU campus everyday to sitting at a desk all day and eating whatever was in arms reach. So I packed on the pounds hitting about 174. There is virtually no photographic evidence of this, I hid from cameras at that time or I have burned them!
Walgreens recently had a mega BOGO Free sale on Shea Moisture products which called for some major haulage! It was right on time, as I have been rocking my natural curls more that flat ironed due to working out and wanting to reduce the heat damage to my hair. This was also a time to rack up on some the most coveted products offered.
In the beauty community there are are products that come along that have a ton of buzz and hype and some end up being just that, hype. However, the new BECCA x Jaclyn Hill collaboration Champagne Pop Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter isn’t one of them. It is truly a beautiful highlighter!
The Essence Music Fest is definitely the weekend to party in New Orleans and when you can incorporate one of your long time favorite brands in the mix, it is a win-win situation. This year I was invited to the Design Essential Blogger Mixer to kick off the weekend as well as get treated to a moisture makeover featuring some of the latest products offered.
