Update!

I am so sorry I haven't been posting lately....
I know I said that i would try to post regularly but that week after I was dealing with a bunch of different emotional things going on in my life.
First, my one and only grandfather passed away. (I still very much miss him.)
Why did I say, "one and only grandfather"? That's because I wasn't born yet to ever meet my dad's dad.
He pasted away when only my oldest brother was born and he's 32 years old...I think.
Second, school.....
The biggest reason I haven't been posting for awhile is because of the fact that I just broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years and 5 months.


So, again I apologize for not posting anything.
I will be sure to post regularly when everything blows over.

Thanks for being understanding and patient <3

John Frieda Dark Cherry Brown Review!

Okay, I know it seems like I dye my hair a lot. But honestly, I used to.
It has been about two months since the last time I dyed my hair.
Since then, I have taken good care of my hair.


I always wanted my hair to be a light ash blonde color but since I'm not fair enough, I know I can never dye my hair to that color.
Ever since my best friend dyed her hair a red color I kind of wanted to try it for myself.
Last weekend we went to our local Ulta store and I had purchased a box of John Frieda hair dye.

Dark Cherry Brown

Color Chart

Contents of Box

I chose this color because even though I wanted to dye my hair red, I was going for more of a burgundy color. I didn't want my hair to be bright and "in your face" red.

My Before Hair:

 You can see where I bleached my hair for the teal.

The Dying Process:

I kind of already had the feeling that my hair was going to turn out darker than it showed on the result chart.

Conditioner; smells amazing! :)

My After Hair:

You can't see the ugly blonde-green ^^

No Flash; Indoor Lighting

Flash; Indoor Lighting

Red Tint...

Results: My hair looks black indoors but outdoor with sunlight, you can see more of the red.

More pics:

*The color will bleed when you shower the first time after dying your hair. Use colored towel.*

Ratings (out of 5):

Color: 2 out of 5

I liked how the color is a dark red. 

But I at least wanted the red to show a little more, especially in the sunlight. 

When in the sunlight you can only see the red tint. 

Softness: 5 out of 5

I love the size and smell of the conditioner.

After using it, my hair was so soft that I couldn't stop touching it.

The conditioner is also big enough for you to use once a week to prevent the color from fading.

Smell: 5 out of 5

My hair didn't smell like dye at all after dying it.

All my hair smelled like was the conditioner! :)

Would I repurchase this color? No. I was very disappointed how the color came out even though I knew the color would not turn out the same color on the box.

Recommend to Friend? Sure. If my friend ever wanted a more natural hair color but still wanted a nice colored tint.

Sorry for being so lazy and not posting on a regular schedule.

I'll try to hopefully, post something at least once a week. Except during finals week.

But please understand that I am a college student and I can't always find time to post.

See ya again soon guys ;)

My thoughts: Past.

According to my past crushes, guys only think of me as a little sister.
So, girls can’t act cute and someone who you can easily talk to then? No. Girls have to damage their hair every day by styling, wear make up, and wear skirts. So, before I wondered if I changed my style and how I act, will guys start to look at me as a potential girlfriend? Would this ever change?


 At least I found someone who accepts and loves me.


After every one of those crushes, I learned to cry my eyes out one day and move on the next. Or if you don't move on that fast, at least fake smile. If its an ex especially, it'll get to them how happy you are without them.

My advice:
Don’t rush to be in a relationship. Live it up as a single person while you can. ;)
All bad and upsetting things are only a shadow of the good in your future. It's worth the wait.



Life only gets better if you allow it to.

EOS Candy Brown Circle Lens Review

Here's another review of circle lens.
This time I did buy them from Maplelens.com instead.


*The reason why I posted three posts today is to make up for the fact that I've been gone for awhile plus, it's my birthday! :D *


Brand: EOS
Color: Brown
Diameter: 14.8mm

My whole experience with Maplelens.com is honestly better than PinkyParadise.
They are based in Malaysia so, I did get my contacts much faster and the amount I paid for these lenses were very understandable.

They usually ship 1-2 business days.
On Maplens.com these lens are $18.90 and on PinkyParadise.com they're $22.90. Neither of those prices include shipping.
They are on sale now for about $16. ;)

The only down side of Maplelens.com is that they don't carry much contacts that are prescribed. :(

Close up

Comparison; I know I look creepy...

Without contacts

What lenses come with

• Color: 10/10
• If you want something more natural you shouldn't get these lens.The color, as you see in the pictures, is very vibrant and unnatural. In any lighting they are noticeable. These lens do have a dolly or "fake" effect to them which is why I bought them.
• Comfort: 10/10
• When I'm wearing them, I don't feel them in my eyes at all. They are much thinner than my Geo Angel Blue lens. When i wear them I can't see the rim at all either.
• Enlarging: 10/10
• They are very enlarging compared to the Geo Angel Blue lens even though they're a bit bigger. I don't think I'm ever going to go bigger than these lens.

*I was not paid to review these lens or the Geo Angel Blue lens.*

If you're wondering what I'm wearing:
Eyebrows: Naked Basics Palette
Eyes: Naked Basics Palette, Left eye I have Almay one coat three effects mascara, Right eye I have Maybelline Volume Express mascara
Lips: Tokidokie Gelato tinted lip balm
Highlight: High Beam by Benefit

Hope you found this useful! :)

*All of my reviews are my honest opinion.*

My Hair Growth Journey: Update

So its been about 5 months or so since I started my hair growth journey.
Basically all the products I use are the same as in my first hair growth post.
Except for the fact that I do not use Pantene ProV Restore Beautiful Lengths any more.

Why? Because I really did not like the way my hair felt after shampooing. It basically felt very unmovable until I applied my conditioner.

I also finished my Biotin supplement and replaced it with Nature Bounty Hair, Skin, Nails.
I am forgetful so I forget to take at least one a day....yeah...

Tastes really gross since there's no coating... :P

Back in November 2012

December 2012

Today: March 2013

Keep in mind that my hair is not straightened or anything in the last picture.

I think the supplements are working. ;)

Soon I'm thinking of trying the shampoo that Shante Mac aka "luvableviet" on youtube uses.

Hopefully that shampoo also helps.

Hope this helped or something! :D

I Dyed my Hair Teal!

I always wanted to try to dye my hair some crazy out-there color.
What color? Teal.
So, after bleaching my hair I decided I will try dying my hair teal.
The dye was by the brand Ion and I bought it at Sally Beauty Supply.

Showing how much my hair has grown

The under layer of my bangs is now Teal.

It's more green...

My camera: Nikon 1 J1 in White

Technically, I didn't follow the directions the dye came with.

So, my result came out more green than teal.

But after re-dying it, the color became more teal.

The smell reminded me kind of like fruit by the foot. hahaha ^^

Warning: the dye did stain my pillow and the color did fade after awhile. of course... -.-"

I did end up dying over it with Liese Antique Rose. It worked...

Sorry it took so long to post something
