Bath & Body Works Products

I've always been a B&BW addict since the 90s. The sales were always great and the product was excellent. As time go on things started to change... some changes are good and some are bad, it depends.

Last year I started noticing that some products that were sold during winter, were also being repackaged and sold for spring. I'm not saying they haven't made any new products because they have and some were ok. I'm like change but I love my retro scents. Cherry Blossom,  Juniper Breeze, Amber Blush and the list goes on. I was happy when they brought back Cool Coconut Surf, I just love that scent.

Let's compare Cool Coconut Surf and Hawaii Coconut Water &Pineapple. To me they smell the same...when I couldn't find anymore of the cool coconut surf, I racked up on the Hawaii Coconut Water & Pineapple and was content. I guess anything you make with Coconut is going to have that identical scent.

The latest product I bought from B&BW is the Sparkling Limoncello body cream and spray... and let me tell you, it smell so good. The lemon scent perks you up and it's not overpowering. I would definitely recommend anyone to try it.

The best time for me to shop at Bath and Body Works is the Semi Annual Sale..I can really do some serious damage! I feel like I can get more for my buck and the use of coupons makes my shopping fun.

I'm not bashing or telling anyone not to shop there...just pay close attention to what you're buying because you don't want to repurchase scents that you already have.

Love Your Curves!

I hate the fact that some people look down on plus size or curvaceous women... why is that?! I guess we have to show our ribs to be sexy...ha whatever!

I will not starve myself to please others or to be accepted. Being curvy or plus size doesn't mean we are fat and unhealthy, some of us have hips that'll make ya flip Lol...or a lot of cake that we can't shake. 

Did you know that a size 10 is considered Plus Size...really?! I guess because it's a double digit. I know for a fact that if I went down to a size 10 I would look like a crack head, so I'll pass! The biggest size I've ever worn was 18-20...now I'm between a 14-16.

I'm on a journey to lose weight because I feel heavy, but I'm doing it for me. If I can stay at a size 14 I'll be happy. I'll still be a plus size woman, just with toner curves.

To all my plus size sistas..

Do what makes you happy!

Keep struting your stuff!

Mac presents Selena....

Bidi Bidi Bom Bom! Yessss finally! OMG I'm so excited! I always thought Selena was a beautiful woman and if she was here a little longer she would be on top of the world. Her makeup was always flawless... I'm not a makeup Guru but I will support and buy a lippie from that line.

Selena makeup will make it's appearance in the Mac stores October 2016.

I just wanted to share that info with you.

Janet Jackson Pregnant...

Congratulations are in order... Janet Jackson is carrying her first child. A few months ago fans were angry that she cancelled her tour because she wanted to start a family with her husband.

Janet Jackson has always been in great shape and took care of herself well, but is it safe to have a child at the age of 50?...It becomes a high risk pregnancy over 35, that's what the doctors say anyway.
I think she's going to have a safe and wonderful pregnancy, she has the money to have a team of doctors keep an eye on her and give her the best care.
I wish her and hubby well. I can't wait to find out the sex of the baby and see what he or she look like. I'm happy for them and Micheal would too if he was still with us.

Prince...The Legend

I'm going to keep this short and sweet.
I'm still devastated by his death..it doesn't seem real. Prince has left this earth too soon, he still had more to give to us. He was a musical genius... everything he touched turned gold.

Even though Prince is not here in his physical form, he's here spiritually and his music lives within us. He was always comfortable in his skin and never tried to fit in with anyone.

Prince you will forever be missed!

My Natural Hair Journey...A New Attitiude

I finally decided to step back into the natural hair world. I've been down this road before so I know what I'm getting myself into.

Becoming natural is journey mentally. The reason why it's a journey mentally..I feel that corporate america doesn't accept the natural look. They prefer a woman hair that's straight and flowing..well not all of us have that, even in the natural hair community not all of us have curly hair or as some would say mixed hair. 

As the years go by more and more women are rocking their natural hair in corporate america and I think that's wonderful!

Now let's talk about the journey....some women would a big chop and some would transition from relaxed hair into natural hair, I'm one of them. I was natural for 3 years and my hair was so healthy and pretty, but I wasn't comfortable because big curly hair was being advertised more and I also felt like I didn't have a connection with the natural hair world. I became frustrated, I went to the hair dresser got a relaxer and cut off all my hair. Yep sure did! Lol...Do I regret it? Yes, if I would've took the time to really think about it and  researched more about protective styles and products..I would still be natural today.

I'm ready to take on this journey again and embrace it. Once again, I'm going to transition from relaxed hair to natural hair, no big chop. Over the years things has changed and more and more women with MY type of hair are rocking it and I'm so happy to see that! 

I don't have soft curly hair...I have KINKY hair and I'm proud of it! My mom was proud of her hair and I will be proud of mine,,,and even though she's not here on this earth..she is my inspiration and that's all I need.

I would love to see more little girls and women rock their natural hair...it's beautiful and it's yours..EMBRACE IT!

Love your KINKS..who cares what anyone THINKS!

KINKY HAIR ..DON'T CARE!

Pajamas In Public...

My mom taught my siblings and I to always look decent because you never know what could happen. So I took that advice into my adulthood and taught my children the same thing.

These days it seems to be a trend to wear pajamas outside. How can anyone be comfortable wearing pajamas and a bonnet to Walmart, grocery stores, etc.. I've seen women pick up their children from school looking like they just crawled out of bed. 

I think there's a time and place for things and pajamas in public is not the place. 

I never forget the day I saw a woman walk into Walmart with a night gown on with her head tiep up, flip flops and draped in jewelry 👀👀👀 really?! Smh.

I will say this...this trend is unacceptable and it have to stop. 

I'm not saying you have to be dressed to kill to come outside, just look decent and leave the pajama wear at home. Your kids are watching what you do and if they see you outside in pajamas they think it's ok to do the same thing. It's not cute, it's ridiculous. 

Replace the pjs with a pair of jeans and a tshirt and replace the bonnet with a fitted cap....that's better than a night gown or pajama set. 

What are your thoughts about pajamas in public? 

The Walking Dead Season 6 Finale....Negan

I'm not going to make this long, let's just get right to it.

Ok.... my vision of Negan wasn't what I expected to see on last night's episode. The person they cast to play Negan is too clean cut... I was expecting some rough looking almost fat ugly kinda guy, not a handsome...sexy rough voice guy. Even though he was in the zone and played his part well...I still think they could've found someone more dark and scruffy.

This episode drove me insane! The whistling was creepy. The zombies with pieces of the crew on them was interesting.

So much was going on and it felt rushed. I feel like they were rushing to build us it but it left some of us disappointed with the ending.

I' m definitely watching Season 7 to see how this plays out.

What are your thoughts?
Who do you think died at the end?

Wonder Woman Makeup Collection..

A friend of mine posted a picture of the Wonder Woman Makeup Collection that's coming out in May of 2016 and will be available at Walgreen's.

I don't wear makeup but that's one collection I would definitely buy because I am a Wonder Woman fan!
I use to watch Wonder Woman as a kid, am I telling my age? Lol...

Here is a picture of the flyer I saw on Instagram.

This would make a wonderful gift for someone that's a true fan of Wonder Woman.

I just wanted to share some wonderful news about this collection.
