Just because you wear tights or leggings..

I see ladies wearing the leggings or tights with short shirt/dresses..so short it's almost as though you are passing a car accident where you cannot take your eyes off of it but you feel guilty for even looking. Oh come on ladies do not act like you haven't thought the same things. Lol! The post stems from a girl I was walking behind back into the building at lunch. She was wearing black sleeveless dress. The dress was so short, if you sat down in it, the entire public would be viewing you cha-cha! Now my only logical thought is this woman thought the shortness of the dress was no concern because she was wearing leggings underneath. Ladies!!! Leggings are not pants!!!! Most of the time the leggings are so shear you can basically see through them. This poor woman is walking around in a dress way to short with see thru leggings on. I almost approached her to be careful but couldn't bring myself to tell her.
Please ladies, just be careful with leggings and tights.

Addict: Coconut Oil :)

Hey girls, looking for something more in a lotion or just want to try something new? Try coconut oil! :) eeeeek!! I am so excited about this easy product that serves multiple purposes. I tried it this weekend as a lotion. First let me tell you.. When you look at the coconut oil it doesn't look like oil but like wax. I put some in my hand and the warmth of my hand turned it into liquid and I started applying it on my body like lotion. It smells soooo good!!! It's coconut so if you don't like it, then u wouldn't recommend the product for you. 2nd I applies it to my hair and let my hair soak in the oil for about two hours. I then washed my hair and styled. It made my hair so silky and healthy. 3rd I decided I would get creative and use this mixed with sugar and waa-la instant sugar lip scrub.
I am looking for more ways to try this awesome product and guess what.. It's healthy for you!!! :)
Do you use coconut oil? If so, how? I'd love to hear your stories.

Travel: Carry On Bag

Happy Sunday ladies!!!! :) I hope you are all having a great weekend. My nieces 17 year old birthday is today and let me tell you.. I feel old. :/ lol!
So I'm watching the travel channel and day dreaming about all the places I want to visit. With traveling comes the packing. I know some pro packers and some not so pro packers. I am in te middle. I have some good tips and tricks for making the most out of my packing but I just know you all have some even better tips. I'd love to hear them! :)
First let's start with your carry on bag. I cannot stress THIS enough..i have had the airport lose my luggage enough times to know its the little things that make a huge difference. First thing I put in my carry on? An extra pair of panties. Yes ladies, I went there! Lol!! I always make sure I pack a small amount of make up, just essentials to freshen up during a lay over or really long flight. Oil absorbent sheets are a life saver. Chapstick and lotion is also a must have for me. Next, I make sure I pack some snacks. You just never know if you might get hungry, and I refuse to pay outrageous prices for some small snacks. Finally, I make sure I keep my powercord for my electronics. Airports have places you can plug in for free. :)
I am sure I am forgetting a lot more tips and might not know more. I'd love to hear your tips for traveling.

DIY:Did you say shirt scarf?

Ladies, I have come across some really awesome DIY fashion and make up tips, tricks, and crafts. I will be posting a new DIY post every Saturday as I embark on my journey of fun! Haha!
I wasn't planning on attempting my shirt scarf tonight but fell and rolled my ankle. So I figured it was best for me to elevate my ankle and get to work on my scarf. There are a number of ways to create these cute scarfs and please remember..this is my first attempt.
1) find a cotton tee. I found that the bigger the tees the longer the scarf.
2) cut tee into about 1 inch strips until you reach the armpits of the tees. Lol
3) stretch the strips an watch how they transform into cool rolled fabric.
4) line up the strips and be sure to line up the seams.
5) once you line up the seams, place a piece of fabric and roll around to hide seams. I tied the price of loose fabric into the pieces and then cut off the excess.
Waaaa laaa!
I added a couple more gatherings. I also braided one. It's really pretty awesome.
If you try this great DIY craft, post pics and us know more tips and tricks.
