*tips: TAKE PLENTY OF PICTURES!  Pictures will show your progress as well as keep you motivated.  The mirror is not always your friend so pictures will help, also try not to weigh yourself more than once per week.  Your weight fluctuates many times during the day and week so its ideal to check your weight the same time of day weekly.  Lastly, TAKE MEASUREMENTS because again, the mirror and scale can sometimes not tell the whole picture during your weightless journey.

Below are all of my social media handles where my journey for the next 60 days will be shared:

Designer or Inspired: Dior So Real vs. Newdress.com


I get so excited when I find a new website with great products.  Newdress.com has trendy inexpensive items at very low prices.  

It seems everywhere I look lately on social media I spot a celebrity or Instagram socialite rocking the Dior "So Real" sunglasses.  


Currently, spending $500 on a pair of glasses is not in my budget so I was excited to see a similar pair on Newdress.


Check out what I think of this haul below and be sure to subscribe to my channel.


What I Wore:
jacket- here
jeans- Forever 21

Maximize Your Shopping, One Shirt Styled Two Ways


Gone are the days of picking up random pieces without actual visions or plans of how I will wear them. 

 There has been times I've purchased something thinking "I can do something with this" and not actually wear the item. 
 Now,  that I'm smarter with my money, I only shop with purpose, especially this Black Friday weekend.  
 When I eyed this high-slit sheer maxi button down top I knew I could style it a few different ways.  Olive is the new black and very on trend so I had to grab this top.
 Its great for a classy or dressy look and it will be a staple in my wardrobe.

What I Wore 
Outfit 1
top- Rainbow
jeans- Forever 21
shoes- Old Navy
necklace- Sassy Jones Boutique
lipstick- LC Salem

Outfit 2
top- Rainbow
blouse- Luxe Vain Boutique
skirt- Bagladie Ink

How To Lowlight Blonde 613 Weave Extensions

Blonde hair is such a fun way to change up your look and easier now than ever before with the vast selection of hair extensions.  When I decided to go blonde I decided to try a new approach instead of breaking the bank with expensive bleaching products and hair color.
 Not to mention the damage I did to my costly weave to lift the original brown-black hair color to blonde.  After hours of bleaching the dark bundle hair, it would typically come out brassy orange toned and not actually blonde.  So this time around I decided to begin with barbie blonde hair that I bought from Luxe Crown Hair.


The color of my extensions was not realistic at all so I decided to add warm color and dimension to the hair with lowlights.  I hope you Dolls find this video helpful!  Check out my video below on coloring 613 blonde weave.
