InfinitiPRO by Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron to the rescue for wavy hair #SoFabCon #beauty
I have no time for myself. I have been known on occasion to leave the house without even looking in the mirror. I like to consider myself low maintenance. I detest spending forever getting ready. However, as much as I love being low maintenance, I enjoy when I get the chance to get pampered, but who has the spare time though? I am lucky to get in for a hair trim every 3-6 months. When I was at SoFabCon recently, Conair was one of the generous brands located in the brand salon. I had to check it out and lucky for me they were giving away InfinitiPRO by Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Irons. They were also doing hair makeovers, but everytime I stopped by there was a line. I have never (Seriously NEVER) even attempted to use a flat iron. With my wavy hair, I feel...
Read MoreSally Hansen Gel Strips from a reformed nail biter {Beauty Review}
I don’t often talk about being a reformed nail biter. I bit my nails since I was a little girl for 20+ years. Over the years, I kept trying to quit. My mom tried to be helpful, but her help just made me more nervous. I tried several remedies and I finally found what works for me! Nail biting was definitely one of my bad habits that I am glad is a thing of the past. I used a combination of Vitamin B to strengthen nails and Sally Hansen Maximum Nail Growth. Once I kicked the habit though. I started treating myself with at-home manicures. Everyone has bad habits for a reason and mine stems from being a perfectionist! I realized that a trigger to want to bite my nails was when my nails were not even or when the polish started chipping. I would try to fix it then...
