I'm Going Natural Ya'll!!!

Last Friday, I sat through 8 hours of getting dreadlock extensions. OMG!!! It was painful. I even teared up at some point. But now, I can honestly, tell you that I think it was worth it. I love my loc extensions. Each and everyday I see new things and see myself tranforming into an even better person. I'm loving it!!!! Right now, my hair is extremely tight but I know it will losen up eventually. I've already went and bought products that so far I love. I am even wearing mineral make up instead of my normal makeup.

My First Key Lime Pie

Okay, I made my first key lime pie on Saturday as of yesterday it is gone. I loved it so much I will be making another one as soon as possible. Well, I'll most and likely make another one this weekend. I never knew that it would be so simple to make and taste so good! All I added to this pie was a little whipped cream and it's on!!!

But, I am not so concerned these days with losing the weight as I am about my over all health and happiness. Here's to good health and prosperity!

YES!!! I did it! I did my first 5K race yesterday. I was so nervous at first but I ran the whole way through and was able to really give it a big push at the end. June 4, 2011 is my next race. These next couple of weeks I will be working on my time and on adding more distance. I can't believe it... I'M A RUNNER!!!!
Never in a million years did I think I would love running and for that matter love being out doors, but now I do. It's kind of funny how we change as we mature. I find it terribly funny that I have lived in the same apartment for over a year and have never went walking or running for that matter on the trail in my neighborhood until Saturday. Now, I can't wait to go walking after work. Me? Physical activity? What is going on in the world today????!!!!

Review: My First Taste of Pho

Pho is a Vietnamese noodle soup and a couple of weeks ago I had my first taste. You can't see the noodles underneath but they're there. I really enjoyed my first taste of Pho. I must say it was definitely a departure from my normal food selections. Just in case you don't already know Pho is thinly sliced beef that is cut and cooked in an amazing broth. The noodles are rice noodles. Would l have this dish again????? Maybe....

Mac Pro Longwear SPF 10 Foundation, Concealer & Lipglass

I wanted to give it at least a week before I posted my review on the Mac Pro Longwear foundation and concealer. First, let me start off by giving you my skin type. I have oily skin and while I don't mind it at all sometimes it can make it a little difficult to purchase foundations that work. With other foudations when I get oily my foundation gets really red and darker.

What I find with this new foundation is I look the same at the end of the day as I did at the beginning of the day. I mean, this stuff really holds up well! Any yes, I was shocked!! It really evens out my skin tone and brings out the golden undertons in my skin. In the past, I preferred bringing out the red undertones in my skin. But, what I found it is that when I go with showcasing my gold undertones it makes my bronzer standout even more.

As far as the concealer is concerned, I was really shocked at how good it covered my blemishes. The only thing that I do kind of feel a little concerned about is the consistancy of the product. Make no mistake MAC Pro Longwear concealer is not as thick as my regular concealer MAC Studio Finish Concealer. My Studio Finsih Concealer lasted a really long time. However, I am not sure how long Pro Longwear is going to last beacause I notice that I have to use a little more than I care to use. So as of right now, the verdict is still out on how long I think it will last.

Finally, I purchased the MAC Lady Gaga Lipglass. I like it, but I have noticed how dry lips get after I put it on. Of course, this could have something to do with the winter weather. Right now, I like it and I think it is cute to wear.
