Fashion lovers rejoice with Modcloth!

Fashion lovers rejoice with Modcloth!

I want to share an awesome website that I happened across while looking for dresses online last week for an event I will be attending this week.
I cannot believe that I had not heard about it before especially when, after attempting to share my excitement with friends, many of them had already heard of the site.

I'm talking about Modcloth!!

They have so many great items to choose from. You can find all kind of different clothes from dresses, tops, bottoms, swimwear, outerwear, and intimates.  

What has to be one of the coolest things about Modcloth is the Be The Buyer program. Modcloth is always adding new items, almost daily, and they need help deciding which clothing should be added so once you are signed up with Modcloth you can check out the incoming clothes thru Be The Buyer and click whether you love or not a certain piece and also add a small note as to why or why not. This helps modcloth sell items that they know the customers will love. 

These are 3 of my favorite dresses. And they have such great prices, these three are under $60. They have a section of under $50 dresses, although some of the pricier ones can run up to $180. That is quite a bit of a splurge but I promise that they are super cute. They have an amazing return and exchange policy.
Modcloth is so popular and their items are so unique that they quickly run out of stock for many of the dresses but no worries as you can select the option to be notified the second it comes back into stock!

And what would a cute dress be without equally cute shoes? Modcloth carries a large selection of shoes from heels to flats to wedges to boots and sandals. You can find shoes that are vintage, quirky, sexy and one of a kind. No matter the shoe you choose, you will be the talk of the party.

Ready to complete the outfit? You can't go out without the perfect accessories to complete your look. You can choose from a wide array of jewelry, belts, cosmetics, wallets, keychains, tights, hats, and much more.  

Another thing I love about Modcloth, is the absolutely adorable items they sell for your home. From kitchen and bath, furnishings, gifts and electronics. Like this super cute bird kitchen timer. You can spend hours searching through everything and not get bored. 

There is also a blog you can check out for great ideas on DIY ideas and ideas for outfits. You can buy gift certificates for the birthdays, christmas, and graduation gifts. This is one gift certificate that will certainly be loved.

















These opinions are 100% my own. Modcloth did not contact me or ask for me to write about them, I did so because I really love their site and wanted to share. I was not compensated in any way, shape, or form. All pictures are from the modcloth.com

120 eyeshadow palette

120 eyeshadow palette

For the longest time I've wanted one of those 120 eyeshadow palettes you see on eBay.

My mom bought one about 3 years ago and it looks so awesome with so many colors but I just never got around to getting one. Now it seems as though everybody has them.
I finally bought mine for Christmas. The first place I was going to check out was from Sedona Lace. They sell a 120 palette and some 88 palettes as well as brush sets. I've read so many good reviews on Sedona Lace and they're pricing is good. Only $28 I believe for the 120. But then I found some on eBay for $11. The exact same colors, in the exact same order of placement on the palette only it comes from china. Fine with me. I went with the eBay one.
Hey I was a little broke from so much shopping.
The colors are amazing. So many bright colors, so many options. I immediately knew which I wanted to mix, blend and try out. From bright yellow to soft pink to rose red, ah, it's awesome.
I've always been a MAC girl so I like my eyeshadows to be bright, pretty, smooth and blendable.
I was really impressed with eyeshadows. While they aren't as pigmented as MAC colors they have enough color to them and it's great for people who are experimenting with color or are afraid to use color.
The palette arrived very nicely packaged with a lot of bubble wrap so luckily no color was broken.
And the case is not too big either. I really do recommend this palette to anyone.
Next I will be getting one of the 88 palettes and my dilemma is do I want the matte, shimmer, or metal...

The Miraculous Bra

The Miraculous Bra

We all know the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale has been going on. It ends in about 4 days. I have been in major need of some new bras. The last time I bought a bra was when I was pregnant with my littlest one and he's 1 and a half.
Yikes!
Here was my chance to get some VS bras for a lower price yay me. So I immediately, well not immediately, ran to my computer and browsed their site for some bras.
Now. I'm not exactly flat chested. I'm a 34D. 34D is actually not that big but it's big for me because I'm about 120lbs and 5'3". I used to be super skinny before having kids. I was a 34A. I had nothing lol.
Anyways, after 2 kids my boobies grew along side my belly. While they're larger, they're not as..perky, as they used to be. No I don't have saggy nasty boobs but they have lost some elasticity {sadface}.
I wanted to get a bra with some lift and had heard that the Miraculous bra was the one for that. Ok well stupid me should have realized that the person who told me this was a size 36B.
When they say this bra lifts. Holy momma they're not joking. It has so much padding in it that my son could use it as a pillow. There is like 2 inches of padding in this baby. It adds up to 2 cup sizes!
That's a lot.
It makes my already large boobs HUGE! Hahaha my husband came home and was like 'oh Dios, que paso'. While I like it because they still look natural, on me. I don't know that it would work well on smaller busts. People aren't blind, they're will definitely notice the large increase in your bust area if you're an A or B cup. Not that it's a bad thing. I think that smaller chest women should 'work their way up' and start with regular padding to medium padding to more padding to this. Believe it's a lot of padding. To the point that if u are going regular one day and then wear this one the next day people will think you got you're boobs done. It's that much of a change. So I say think carefully before buying this.
But apart from being so padded, it is comfortable! I thought my boobs were going to be spilling out on top but they don't. It doesn't poke or feel heavy. I do wish though that for bigger sizes like mine that the straps were a little thicker.
I say go try it out! It would be the perfect bra for someone who needs to fill out that certain dress on top or wants to look bigger, duh! Lol.

BTW, I believe 34D is the highest it goes in. Trust me, bigger ladies will not want this much padding!

How to grow hair longer. Tried & true at home remedy!

How to grow hair longer. Tried & true at home remedy!

I went yesterday to get my hair cut and I haven't had my hair cut in about 3 years!! Yes 3 years.

I've always loved long hair. I love femininity, pink, and amazing, long, thick, lustrous hair. 

At the end of 2007 I got this insane insane idea about having really short pixie hair.

Don't ask,  I guess I just wanted to see how it would look on me. 

(not very good I should add)

So the hairstyle itself was...ok.

The girl made it shorter than I wanted but what was I supposed to do? 

It was already chopped off, I couldn't so anything about it anymore.

 So I'm glad I did it, to get it out of my system to have short hair. 

But it nonetheless left me a little bit...traumatized. I will never again have short hair. Never. Never Ever!

I decided to not get haircuts because every single time I go they cut too damn much. 

Yes, I know the ends are fried, a little, but I don't care. 

I don't like having hair that is shorter than where my boobs are. And my boobs are not small. 

Well that sounded bad, they're not at my knees but I'm sporting in the Ds so you get the idea.

ANYWAYS!

I'm glad I got my hair cut, I wanted to add some layers for more volume & fullness and well my ends were really, really bad. 

Really bad! 

She only took off about 3 inches but to me that was like 3 feet. 

My hair now barely reaches my, uhm nipples, so it's still long but not long enough. 

My hair is softer now, and bouncy, and voluminous, and just plain bouncy. 

I love it.  

Now to get to the POINT of my post!

The lady who cut my hair has been cutting hair for over 25 years. 

She told me that to get my hair to grow faster and stronger that I should crush birth control pills, put that in my shampoo, any shampoo, and let it sit for awhile so that it fully mixed with the shampoo. 

When I shampoo my hair I should let the shampoo sit for about 5 minutes so that

 my scalp and hair can absorb it. 

At first I thought hmmmm, uhh, QUE? 

But I went along with it. I later asked my mom what she had used to grow her hair. 

My mom had her hair as short as Posh Spice's pixie cut and in about 3 months it was at her shoulders. NO JOKE! 

She told me she was crushing birth control and adding it to her shampoo!! :-O

I will now be trying that! I'm going to take a before and after picture and do one, two and three months to see if it really works!! 

Stay Tuned :)

In-Styler

In-Styler

My mom got me the In Styler for my birthday last week and I was so excited because I've been wanting to try it out for quite some time.

I wanted to see just how well it actually worked. I naturally have wavy, super frizzy hair. Which I forgot to take a picture of before I started but trust me, it's bad, I look like Mufassa!
I am happy to say that it works wonderfully! It truly does work.
I'll be back to post pictures, It's not wanting to upload the ones I took :(
It works faster than a flat iron and i love how easily I can curl the ends of my hair.
The only problem that I have found is that because the barrel is rather large, I'd say like a 1.5 inch curling iron, I can't get very close to the root. I know you aren't supposed to do that but I do anyways.  So what I do is bust out my flat iron anyway and just use it at the very end and do like a really quick over...over..? oh, I don't know what word I'm looking for lol, I just go over the top of my hair really quick. It takes me about 45 seconds.
It came with a square pad to rest it on while your doing your hair, a black stand for it to rest on, a 3-in-one detangling comb, a travel/storage bag and an instructional DVD which isn't really necessary as I found it to be pretty easy to use.

It left my hair so soft, and not hot. Usually when I go over my hair with a flat iron I can't grab that part until it cools down or it'll burn my hand.
But the tool itself gets really hot. And yes, I know these things get hot, but I was just having a moment I guess and burned the crap out of my arm, yes my arm, don't ask haha.

Do I recommend this styling tool? YES!
