ORGANIC AND NATURAL

I decided after im done with all the food in my fridge I am only giong to buy organic food. I decided to go through a dry run and walk through jewel to see how many organic products they had. To my surprise they dont have many. So i had to say that i would add natural to the organic food bc they had very little organic but had a decent amount of stuff labled "natural".

so this whole little basket minus the italian stuffed pasta(on the left behind the box of pasta) cost me a total of 27.85.... and at first I was just totally unhappy. I knew i could not feed p and i the way i wanted to.

Later i stopped by a sunrise health food store and i found more items that were organic that jewel didnt have (sour cream, cream cheese, ) so yeah. I dont know what im going to do. I would like to be more healthy but as you can see from this cart that just had an upper layer and not even anything in the bottom of the cart....


im also going to look at what trader joes sells and see if i cant find products that are natural and organic that are cheaper so i dont have go back on the word i set up to myself.

eco styler styling gel made with olive oil

so the one on the left is kinky curly the one on the right is eco styler I dont know if you can see the line but i have used A LOT of my kinky curly its like part of th way down and ive only used it TWICE. Again you probably cant tell but i have also used my eco styler and its not even looking like i touched the stuff.. plus i like that fact that its thicker and my hair kind of 'tells' me when its had enough of this stuff unlike my kinky curly which i feel i can keep putting more and more and more in and dont really know when to stop


So my mom originally wanted me to use all of my kinky curly before i used the eco styler styling gel and well i wanted to know what i was getting into before my kinky curly was no more so i would know if i had t purchase more or not. i washed out my hair with the kinky curly shampoo ($11.99)(but of course i could also use some suave $1.96 shampoo and look smart!) and then i used my garnier fructis leave in conditioner ($2.69) and then my eco styler olive oil stying gel which is originally $4.99 but i got it on sale for $2.99 for 32 fl oz. compared to my kinky curly curling custard which is $29.99 for 16 fl oz.






whoa, talk about not good lighting... and for some reason i have jay lenos chin?




my hair i still wet in this pic and the wind is blowing it.





so yeah this is a good alternative to kinky curly and i think next time ill try it out with a liquid leave in conditioner..

the ocean walker revisited.

I done did it again.
ha, maybe I should pull my strap up.
So I tried the "ocean walker" look again, this time I used my new eye shadow primer from Sally Beauty Supply for only 7.99 and it actually did a really good job and I like the matte finish it gives to my eyes in these photos. P says everyday I do it I get better and better. So I guess Ill eventually look less like a clown. Im sure I still kinda do tho bc I wear this look with anything. Since the colors are blue and green I should probably wear it with those color clothing styles but I love it so much I even wear it with browns and stuff. One day I will get around to making a video on this o so clever clown look :) I also watched this girl on youtube and she told me a really neat trick. Instead of putting eyeshadow on your eye and moving in horizontal motions use vertical motions instead. I did this for both the blue on the bottom and the green on the top. I think this is also why my makeup looked better this time around. So I will def be using that technique from now on. She also said that if you do use horizontal motions your makeup will look boxy at the the ends and now I know why I was having such trouble making my eyes look natural at the edge..

lets go bowling..

beware the woman.. with really fat .. fat .. arms.. lol




my dog is a cat.



So Ken's favorite thing to do is sun bathe .. seriously he finds the spots with the most suns and takes a nap. like a fucken cat. P was right .. I dont have a real dog.

kiss me .. im not irish

So there is a funny tale with this drink. We were at chilis and I usually get their margaritas blended with a flavor added with sugar on the rim. Well, with all the st pattys excitement and everything being green I TOTALLY forgot how i liked my drinks and was like yes, give me the green margarita.. which was a mistake. i ended up having to have the bar tender to add the strawberry flavoring anyways and I put in like 15 packs of sugar. All that wouldnt and still couldnt hide that nasty nasty ass taste of that drink .. esp since the salt slid down into the glass... it was a salty mess. I HATE the taste of alcohol and so yeah. It was a mess.
Me and Anggie, with our green drinks.
P drinking his green beer.. He looks like the devil here.
Im the one with the huge boobs ! (hi mom !! )
This is a bit late, but HAPPY ST PATTYS DAY.. who doesnt want to go out with a green eyed big breasted clown monster?

"ocean eyes" I'm the ocean walker.. didn't ya know?


ah, me smirking.. how lovely.
Jeez, do you think I should smile more?

I dont know how well you can see it in this picture , But I have blue at the bottom and green on top. I also have on mascara. Again, in real life I look better than this clown pasted above what what can you do? I really should have done a fricken you tube on me doing it, but as you know ive yet to clean and you can see my bathroom looking like a damn mess with facial cotton balls thrown all over. However, it is a really cute look i found on Kandee's blog and it seemed so easy in the end I got up (yes, off my couch) and did it. When she went and did it it took her a long time and for me yeah, not so long. Her video is http://www.youtube.com/user/kandeejohnson#p/u/90/8-tHAZpforE here so you can see what I was trying to do. This is a really cute look on me (I think , although it maybe a version of send in the clowns!) So I will def do it again, and again. Next, time I will def do a youtube video on that. and upload it here. I almost might start doing vblogs instead of just regular old typing since umm thats cool sometimes too. So there you have it folks... ocean eyes..

These are the molds I got for soap. I dont know if you can tell but they say natural and homemade. I dont know why they made the last one no name. I would have liked it to read something like "melissa's homemade lovely soap" :)

I want to make soap and bath bombs...

So I am thinking about buying a bath bomb kit so I can make my very own bath bombs. The kit isnt so much and I could make tons.. and even sell some.
I also wanted to learn how to make my own soap, massage bars, and solid lotions. I went to micheals to see all the goodies they sold.
I want to hopefully make soap that looks like this. I also want to make soap that looks like cupcakes, sushi, and mashed potatoes..
This is just a picture of the orange piece by itself. I have seen people online do this without kits, but I think if I did it it would look really messed up. So I was glad that they sold kits.
This is kinda cool kit as well. I dont really think I need a kit to make sugar scrubs.. just alot of sugar and really neat containers.
This is the is soap orange kit. I think I will also use pink dye and grapefruit oil and make grapefruit piece soaps as well
these are some of the scents they have especially for soap, but since they are so small I will have to look online to find bigger containers that cost a bit less.
These are the molds for soaps, solid lotions, and bath melts. I couldnt find any with bumps and I looked all over from micheals, walmart, and thought about going to target but was too tired.
These are just more pictures of the scents I can get. I was honestly thinking about starting a business and making my own soaps, lotions, bath bombs, ect. But I dont know that seems like such a big deal. Id really like a kiosk in a mall though. I think that would be nice. I know tons of people who are selling their wears online, but that seems like a huge step as well. I think I might just buy stuff and forget about it. lol.

let them eat cake !

So instead of buying veggies I bought ... CAKE..



So now when I make dinner we will have a meat, rice, but no veggies.. I was in sams and I couldnt resist.. who needs broccoli when you have this?

my day in pictures #1

I actually started out my day early (1230pm!!!) and decided to make myself a smoothie. On the bottom is yogurt and in the middle is fruit juice topped with ice and frozen fruit.
Mix it all up and this is what you get !its actually really good, but next time I'm going to add a bit of honey to make it sweeter.
Then for the rest of the day I sat on the cough and watched Californication. My couch felt FANTASTIC.. and im glad I got netflix. But then my friend text me and wanted me to accompany her to get her hair done and dinner.
She is getting pretty pretty bangs. :) I would actually like to get my hair dyed the way the hair dresser has her hair here, but I doubt that would go well with applying for jobs. Plus I would have to get my hair permed bc a multi colored afro is just well... clownish..
I really like this picture. I liked the blurred person in the back. I didnt even know they were there until i uploaded it.
TADA.. bangs.. and dinner :)
She is sooo shy. But anyways, I got soup and pasta with meat sauce. Yum Yum.
Well, okay I look like farmer dan but I have good reason for it. I just rolled off the couch and went out. I was actually happy I went out though because it was such a lovely day today. I havent felt this good outside in a long time and Im sure its because all that vitamin D from the sun was sinking in my skin and making me o so happy. You cant see it but in this picture under my farmer dan shirt I am actually still wearing my pjs !! Yep, folks I am THAT lazy. anyhoo Im glad I came out. All and all it was a good day.

Lets Get Physical ... Or not..

So today I was at the gym 10 minutes into a really good workout that was supposed to last me 60 minutes when I got urgent texts for P and since his phone is down I had to rush home only to find out I could have stayed at the gym. So since P was having a bad day I decided that it would be a good idea to have a family outing and walk around for a bit. We walked for a good hour I would like to say before returning home. Ken really enjoyed it and was having a blast smelling other dog's poops. That seriously made me want to throw up so I called it quits around the one hour mark. All in all it was a good day holding hands with my honey and seeing my dog so excited.

Upon returning home I thought it would be fitting to wash up with my HIWTK's soap and was DELIGHTED at how soft my skin was and how it smelled so good while I was washing up with it. Even P felt my arm after the bath (mind you I didn't even wear any lotion) and was like that is amazing. I cut my original chunk into a smaller chunk and I'm happy I did that. It will help me stretch it a bit more and you don't really need that much. Just some warm water and a nice loufa. I feel sooooo amazing.
