Big Butts=Big Brains

This was a very interesting article I found on the allwomenstalk app:

Scientists from the University of Oxford have discovered that women with larger than average butts are not only increasingly intelligent but also very resistant to chronic illnesses. According to ABC News, the results found that women with bigger backsides tend to have lower levels of cholesterol and are more likely to produce hormones to metabolize sugar. Therefore, women with big butts are less likely to have diabetes or heart problems. And having a big butt requires an excess of Omega 3 fats, which have been proven to catalyze brain development. The researchers also found that the children born to women with wider hips are intellectually superior to the children of slimmer, less curvy mothers. Eyeonthenut reports that the team analyzed data from 16,000 women. “Professor Konstantinos Manolopoulos, who leads the team at the University of Oxford, says that women with more fat on the buttocks have lower levels of cholesterol and glucose.” Having a big butt also favors leptin levels in the female body, which is a hormone responsible for regulating weight, and dinopectina, a hormone with anti-inflammatory, vascular-protective and anti-diabetic attributes. The adipose tissue of the buttocks traps harmful fatty particles and prevents cardiovascular disease. Eyeonthenut also cites similar studies conducted by universities in California and Pittsburgh not too long ago that discovered that women with bigger butts, wide hips and smaller waists may even live longer as well. *This study did not include fake butts.

House of beautiful hair initial review

SYNOPSIS: so far so good.
The bundles are decent sized.  It didn't have any weird  chemical smell. As soon as I wet the hair it went right back to its original state without having to add conditioner. The hair is  really soft and no shedding or tangles so far.

Mini haul ya'll

Check out what I picked up from CVS & Ulta! I've been so eager to try the sheamoisture line that I went a lil crazy.  Thank God I Did! I'm in love with these products. They leave my transitioning hair so soft and manageable. On top of that my natural curls are pretty, defined, and frizz free. What more could I want?

 I'm also really enjoying this Freeman anti stress dead sea mineral mask.  This mask is perfect for nights when you need some stress relief or just want to pamper yourself.  The smell alone is soo intoxicating! The smell instantly relaxes me. 

I decided to test out Ulta's  salon formula nail lacquer. I picked up two of these polishes in a blue and peach color. I've been wanting to try maybelline baby skin so I also brought a tube of that along with two color tattoo eyeshadows. So far I'm loving everything. 

Nail Files: What is a Base Coat?

Base coats come in plain and ridge-filler varieties. Ridge-filling base coats are thicker. They fill in any lines, ridges and grooves to give the nails a smoother looking appearance.

Most base coats are fortified with substances such as protein, vitamin E or calcium. These ingredients help keep nails healthier and prevent breaking, splitting and peeling.

After the base coast dries, apply two coats of colored nail polish rather and you're good to go. You can also use a base coat on its own to make your nails look naturally shiny.

My current base coat is "bonder" by Orly. This is the first and base coat I ever used. I also tried Sinful Color base coat but it could never compare to my Orly bonder. After I used a base coat I noticed immediately that my manicures lasted much longer. If you love doing your own nails Orly bonder is a must have.

Paper Chasin'

Yea, its  been a minute since I  posted. I've been busy with school and work, I'm just tryna get it. I been on a paper chase. I'm not even bout to lie... I hate my job. Well, I don't necessarily hate it but i am unhappy with a lot of aspects of my job.

1. We're constantly understaffed
2. My boss is a tyrant
3. I'm well underpaid

Out of all three of those, #3 is the biggest problem. If they actually paid me more I'll be able to deal with 1 & 2 a lot better. So right now I've been applying to different companies, hoping to find something better that pays more. I filled out some applications last week and got 2 callbacks so far. I actually have an interview with Target two days from today. I hope all goes well. 

I know Target probably pays minimum wage but I'm hoping they pay more for the position I applied for, which is back room and sales floor person. On my application I asked for more than minimum wage, which is what I make at my current job. Hopefully we can negotiate.  I'm on that paper chase.

Sinful Color Nail Polish

These polishes are currently on sale @Walgreens this week for .99 cents. I just had to pick up a few.

Hair Diary 1: Wash Day

Today is a wash day. I don't really have a set regimen. I'm just experimenting right now to find out what works best for my hair. I usually try to wash my hair at least twice a week because of product build up and just wanting clean healthy hair. My hair was very oily this week from my failed twist out attempts, so clarifying this week was a must.  Here's step by step what I did this wash day.

1. Prepoo- Since I was clarifying I decided prepooing was a must to prevent all the moisture and oils from being washed away from my hair and scalp . I  prepoo'd with honey and coconut oil. I left it in for about 30 minutes.
2. Clarify- I shampooed with Suave daily clarifying shampoo.
3. Deep Condition- I mixed Queen Helens Cholesterol, honey, and coconut oil. I left it in for about an hour.
4. Shampoo- I shampooed with Elasta QP Soy Oyl Shampoo.
5. Condition-I did my rinse out with Aussie 3 Minute Miracle.
6. Leave-In- Garnier Fructis Strand Saver, Garnier Fructis Leave In Conditioner, Sealed with Elasta QP H2 leave in ,and Coconut Oil.

Venus Embrace Sensitive Razor ♡ Influenster.com

*thanks to influenster.com, I received this product for reviewing purposes.

What's the Buzz.

First, let me just say I gave up on disposable razors years ago. I had too many issues with them. I was constantly nicking myself and getting razor bumps, so those had to go. I purchased a rechargeable electric razor from CVS by Clio. Clio sells lots of different types of hair removal products, electric and battery operated. This razor made me want to give disposables another try. I love the flexible razor head and the razor holder for the shower. These little perks have made my shaving routine carefree and delightful.

Why I love It.

I fell in love after the first use. I performed my usual shaving routine, which is to apply my EOS shaving cream first before shaving.  The cut of this razor was very close and it left my skin feeling extremely soft. I was able to do long strokes with this razor without fear of cutting myself.  I  got a perfect shave with no nicks or razor bumps. So far this product has completely won me over.

Bad Girls Club ♥ Season 12 Chicago

Chi-Town baabbyy! I'm not gonna lie ,this is the most excited I've ever been for a BGC season. I'm a big BGC, well at least I was before the last couple of seasons.  Those last three were just pure fuckery but, that's a whole different subject.

I'm very excited that they are going to be in my hometown and their also taking a new approach to this show. During this season there will be a family weekend with a life coach to help this troubled brood find the root of their issues.

Even though I love this show because its entertaining as hell , I always questioned what was the point of it. You bring these girls together to get them to change their bad ways in a house full of alcohol and sextoy vending machines ,but are suprised when they don't.

Atleast now Oxygen is giving the 'impression' that they're really trying to help and not exploit these girls.

Organix 2014 Collection

To all those fans of the Organix line of hair products,  I have good news. Their newest collection is currently in Walgreens now. It seems this time around they went for a more tropical feel , more than likely for the Spring and Summer. The new collection of shampoos and conditioners includes: Cocunut Water, Sea Mineral Moisture, Kukui Oil, and Lemon Highlights. 

I'm already predicting that their new Coconut Water shampoo and conditioners may end up on the must have list. The packaging alone makes you wanna take it straight to check out. I've already convinced myself that I must have these products. 

                      
The Coconut Water one is suppose to give you weightless hydration. The Sea Mineral one is also suppose to provide moisture or hydration.
                       
The Kukui Oil is suppose to defrizz and protect against humidity. The lemon highlights is suppose to make that bleach blonde hair vivid and shiny.

So far I love the whole scheme of this collection, now we just have to see if these products live up to their duties.Until then these items have been, Summer Approved.
