Hair Care : Wet to Dry

Friday, January 27, 2012



After watching my videos, most of my viewers ask for a product list. At the time of upload the list of products could get pretty long. So I decided to list items and include a few pictures here on my blog for a quick reference. So here it goes...
.........................................................
When I was get butt booty naked (no one pays me enough to see the real thang lol jk) I was washing my hair with the:
 FAT HAIR "O" Calories Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner by SAMMY. 
I like the way it smells and it foams up really well in the shower. 
The most important result I am looking for in hair care products is that it does what it advertises. FAT HAIR, and I don't really get fat hair with this. Just clean, fresh smelling hair, so I guess I will finish the bottles and move on. 


After I towel dry my hair I like to treat it with a few products before I let it air dry, or before I use any kind of heated tools for protection and volume. Pictured below and used in my video:
FAT HAIR "O" Calories Thickening Spray by SAMMY - Which I think works and smells great
Heat Tamer (not shown in video but used) by TRESemme - Its never let me down and is cheap as dirt
Silk Infusion by CHI - This product has been used by me for many years! I love it!
 Hot Tools! I know I always want to know what my friends use when I see their big sexy hair, I use :
Blow dryer by KERATIN COMPELX - Okay, so you don't need the blow dryer that I have cause its not the cheapest, just make sure it promotes healthy hair (less damage with ions).
Large hot rollers by CONAIR - These have been working well for me lately, but I think I want to try something that will hold curls longer...like ceramic rollers. Ill keep ya'll posted. 
 These brushes are not the coolest or the cutest but they get the job done and I will hurt someone if they took them from my room haha :
Flat paddle brush by BRUSH LAB - I got this baby at ULTA
Round barrel brush by CONAIR - I got this brush so long ago! I would have to say I got it at WalMart
 Lord have mercy! You know I about passed out when I sprayed the heck out my hair with this stuff! :
SPRAY & PLAY by Big Sexy Hair - Its Pink for their Breast Cancer promotion. I love it cause it doesn't weigh my hair down and keeps a good flexible hold. 
Well thats that! I hope that was helpful to most. I know I have made my videos short and sweet lately so I hope my blog can just be another resource to many of you who support my channel and follow my blog.

Getting my WICKED fix

Friday, January 6, 2012

When the cupcake craze hit, I was on the hunt for a great tasting and LOOKING (presentation is everything) cupcake bakery in my area. I heard there was one in Azusa/Glendora but i never saw it. Unfortunately it is in a terrible location, but when I was starting my journey back home I saw the small print on the backside of the bakery and quickly hopped into the turning lane!

When I walked into The Cake Mamas' Bakery/Shop, I didn't know what to expect. One of the girls who greeted me was sweet and very loud haha. I decided to take 2 trays of mini cupcakes to test a few flavors, one for me and one for my roomie. I didn't know the ones that I chose were winning designs/flavors for the popular show CUPCAKE WARS. That made me more excited and not surprised that they were $10 per tray. Me and my roommate Crystal went to see the Broadway Play WICKED so it was even a little reminiscent :)

Below is a picture of what i took home. For $10 I think I got my money's worth because it look like an expensive treat. 
 No one wanted to share the experience with me :( So here are my thoughts starting with...

"The Elixir" 
This was one was probably my favorite visually. The clock face was edible of course, but I don't think you would want to eat it. Confession: I bit it.
 The buttercream frosting was so different and looked almost like a custard. It was thick and so full of flavor. The color and texture were amazing...yes I am talking about a cupcake. 
 Too bad I can't say the same about the taste of this cool green cake. It was dry and didn't have much flavor. 

"The Bad Which"
This cake by far is the best I have ever tasted. It was so moist and rich and creamy...ooooohhh lord!
 I wish they duplicated the look in the show as in person cause I didn't really understand this one with it just plopped on top. The edible glitter and little heart were attractive. 
 Mouth is watering so much! I only had a bite or two of each of these little guys but this one...my heart hurt when I forced myself to trash the other half. *Being good* I did taste the salt they mentioned in the description and it was just the right amount. SO YUM.

"The Flying Monkey"
We thought this was a crown! It didn't come with a tail either :/ 
 Again - The frosting was amazing but the cake was so dry and it didn't taste good at all. Caca.

"The Good Witch"
The strawberry filling was soooooooooo good I felt the rolls growing on my body. The topping was amazing. The silver pearl was like little jawbreaker, I had to try it lol. 
 A good pairing would be the ever so popular SoCal desert wine - Stella Rosa. Stella is a very sweet lightly carbonate wine that is sold for about $12-14 at BevMo. (I get it straight from the winery, its cheaper)
 Jude has a good amount of years to go before he is legally able to drink so he had some juice (Albertsons $4) 
 I think I am in love with the chocolate, and I will definitely give another flavor or two ;) before I make my final thoughts about this place. I hope I didn't tempt you too much.
