September Monthly Favorites


I am so sorry everyone for not posting for a while but I have been a bit busy moving in and getting ready for the school year to start. This monthly favorite post is about two products that I started using at about the beginning of the month. They are amazing and I definitely recommend them to everyone. The first product is the ORS Coconut oil which I bought at Sally Beauty store. It is an organic root stimulator that softens your hair and conditions your scalp. After using this product my hair looks and feels so much more healthy. It is not an expensive product at all. You can use it for many things. The first few days I put some on at night before I slept, then in the morning I would shower that way my hair would have the opportunity to absorb the nutrients from the product. Now, after using the product for a month I put some on my tips after I shower and it helps keep my hair manageable, soft and shiny. Sometimes I also use a little on fly aways and it keeps them down. Overall this is an amazing product that I recommend to anyone that wants to have healthier and softer hair.
The second product is a new drug store foundation that I absolutely LOVE! It is the Revlon Color Stay for Normal/Dry skin. I really like it because it is not cakey and it blends in really well. I can go through the whole day with it and I feel fresh and good to go all day. I have also received many compliments on my make up and I genuinely believe it is because of this new foundation. If anyone is looking for any new foundation to try out I do recommend it. It is not full coverage but it does an amazing job. I hope you all enjoyed this post. If there are any questions or even suggestions on future posts please feel free to comment below. I would love to hear from all of you.<3

Relaxing Cabbage Bath


School is starting, or has probably started for many already. I go to UCLA and we do not start until the 26th of September :) But I really want to spend these last few days I have left relaxing before my hectic life starts up again. Something that I love doing and that really works to relax oneself is a bath of course but even better a boiled cabbage bath. This is very simple and it is something I have done my entire life. Whenever I would have a bad day in school or just seem very upset my mom would boil cabbage and prepare a bath for me. I would sit there for as long as I wanted. This helped me relax and just let go of any stressful thoughts I had. However I must warn you this bath will make you very sleepy so do not do if you have homework or anything to get done after you are done taking your bath because it will not get done. You will most definitely sleep like a baby. To prepare the bath all you have to do is boil a large pot of water (it can be sink water) and add about half a cabbage to the water. Let it boil until the cabbage is loose and soft. You can then prepare your bath as you please. At your ideal temperature. Take into consideration that you will be adding the hot water and the cabbage into the bath. You then sit in the bath for as long as you please. Read a book, listen to music, take a nap, or anything that relaxes you. I personally like to just listen to music or look at a magazine. I hope you all enjoy this relaxing cabbage bath :)

Greens and Leather [Fall trends I CANNOT wait for]



One of the top colors for this Fall is Green, any dark green or emerald like colors. I love, love, LOVE that color so I cannot wait for this trend. A piece I want in my closet is the Dark green shirt dress from Forever 21. It is so cute and comfy. Paired with a black hat, some black tights, and any style of boots (maybe brownish booties :] ) would look great :)



Another Fall trend that I am looking forward to trying is leather. I do not really wear leather much but I do really like it and I am looking forward to playing with different pieces :) One in particular that I found at Forever 21 as well is the Faux leather tights that would look great paired with a plaid shirt or even a knit sweater for colder days. Both of these pieces are not expensive. I definitely shop as if i were on a strict budget so I do recommend both of these pieces.  I hope you all enjoyed these trends I cannot wait to see what combinations everyone comes up with for fall <3

Flaxseed Orange Juice Cleanse


From a very young age I have had a very delicate stomach. I am allergic to pork and I do not eat egg or drink soda because it just kills my stomach. Meaning I will be in bed for at the least a whole day with pains. I have tried many things to help my stomach become stronger. With time I have learned that the reason my stomach is so delicate is because of the times I eat and how often I eat. I am sure many of you have heard that one is supposed to eat small portions every 3 hours, something I never did until now.  I would sometimes eat a small breakfast, a small snack during the day and then not have dinner until at around 7 or 8 at night, which lead to my stomach becoming so delicate. However thanks to my amazing mother I found a solution!  Something that I love drinking that not only cleans my entire digestive system but makes my stomach feel so much more better and stronger is flax seed with natural orange juice. I try to drink this every morning before breakfast. You can buy powder flax seed at any food market or even farmers market. For the orange juice you can either freshly squeeze your own or buy natural [real] orange juice from any grocery store. It is extremely easy to make. You just get a cup of real, natural orange juice and add 2 tablespoons of flaxseed powder into the juice and mix it. Try drinking this for a month every morning. It will definitely make you feel a lot better and since it does help with your digestion it is known to help loose weight. I hope you all enjoy this drink and it helps your over all health <3
P.S. the picture shows whole flaxseed just so you know what it looks like, but you must buy the powder flaxseed which is used for this juice :)

ion moisturizing treatment review


Hi everyone I hope you are all having an amazing day! I have been using the ion moisturizing treatment for the past 2 weeks and I really wanted to review it for you all. It is an AMAZING product. My hair was very damaged because of the salt ocean water and just other things that damage ones hair. However this treatment has made my hair feel so soft and smooth I LOVE IT <3 my ends feel so much better I am just in love with this product. The best part is that it is not expensive. Each bottle costs around 7 or 8 dollars and you can get it at any Sally Beauty stores. I definitely recommend you all try it. I hope you all enjoyed this review :)

Mango And Oatmeal skin treatment


Skin is the reflection of one's entire health. Therefore it is very important to keep it clean, and nourished. A great way to nourish the skin of your entire body is with natural products such as mango and oatmeal. Based on the size of your body you will use either one, two, or three mangos, as well as a cup of oatmeal. Peal the mango and use the inside. You will smash up the mango and add oatmeal once it is mixed well you will add this to your body wherever you'd like soft and nourished skin. Leave this treatment on your skin for at least 20 minutes. Then shower and enjoy your new skin.

Hope you all love this natural skin treatment <3
