Hey everyone!
So I was just washing my hair and I realized that I have never done a post about growing out your hair! I have been growing mine out for about a year and a half now and trust me its been difficult!
A few years ago I had hair up to my boobs and I decided I needed a change and so I cut my hair into a bob. Wow, did I ever regret that! Especially since I was just starting to go out with my boyfriend and he was not happy with my cut.
Any who, since then I have tried over and over to grow out my hair but it just won't work! So finally I decided to take matters into my own hands and I started looking up a ton of YouTube videos and reading blogs on how to successfully grow out my hair. I am happy to say that my hair is now a little below my shoulders (yay) and I hope these little tricks and tips will help you out in growing out your hair as well.
Tips and Tricks
1. Always use heat protectant. It's SO important to do this so you can keep your ends healthy and by keeping them healthy you avoid having to cut your split ends
2. Avoid using heat products if possible. I know this is hard to do because I hate my naturally wavy hair and I used to straighten my hair all the time but now if I'm staying home or just running and getting some errands I don't do anything to my hair.
3. Use deep conditioners. I use one almost everyday instead of using conditioner and it has transformed my hair back like it used to look like.
4. Take Biotin. I just started taking 1000mg of Biotin everyday and it already feels like my hair is starting to grow. I bought A container of it at Shoppers Drug Mart for 10$ and it has 100 pills and you only take one a day.
5. Get a trim when necessary. I always try to avoid going to get my hair trimmed because I'm trying to grow it out but I'm doing more damage because the split end rises up the hair follicle and so it makes the hairdresser cut more inches off then I would have liked. I usually wait 6 months before getting my hair done but everyone has different hair. If it feels like you need a trim get one.
6. Exercise. This has helped my hair growth (and body) tremendously.
Well I hope this has helped a bit. Hair growth can be a long process and I know it can be frustrating. All you need is time and taking good care of your hair.

What's in my makeup bag?
Hey everyone!
Wow, three posts in a row? I must say, I am proud of myself haha!
Anyways, the new month has just started and I am trying to catch up on the posts that I have been wanting to write.
So this one is about what is in my makeup bag.
As some of you know I am a flight attendant so I travel ALL the time. I am constantly trying to find ways to pack my stuff in a way that won't take up too much room. And this is why I have a vey tiny makeup bag. This bag is what I carry with me all the time when I work. My bag I got at Shoppers Drugmart for about $5 on sale. I love this tiny bag because it expands and I like the silky feeling of it.
Inside I have my:
1. Almay Get up and Grow Mascara
2. E.L.F Eyelid Primer
3. Maybelline Dreamlumi Touch Highlighter + Concealer
4. Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Eyeliner in Nude
5. Physicians Formula Happy Booster in Translucient
6. Rimmel Lasting Finish Foundation
7. E.L.F Contouring Blush & Bronzer Duo
8. Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso
9. Maybelline Define a Brow in Dark Brown
10. NYX 10 color eyeshadow palette in Caviar & Bubbles
This is pretty much what is in my makeup bag. I use all of this makeup pretty much everyday. This is my go to makeup bag but when I'm at home I like to change a few things sometimes.

Review: Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss Bordeaux
Hey everyone!
Here's a review on the Revlon Colorburst Lipgloss in Bordeaux.
I purchased this at Walmart for $7.49 cdn. This color is a beautiful dark red/berry color. It is a none sticky formula and I don't find there is a smell to it. The color in the bottle isn't what comes off on your lips. On the lips the color is a bit more berry while in the bottle it's more red with flecks of golden shimmer. The shimmer doesn't show on your lips when you apply this. I was searching for a great winter color and this suits my fair skin tone. It comes with a doefoot applicator but its flat on both sides which kind of bothers me because this makes it harder to apply and since this is a dark color I need to be able to apply this precisely. The first time I applied this I thought it looked patchy but with practice this looks absolutely beautiful.
This is a wonderful color for the winter and I love that this isn't sticky nor does it have a smell. It's a perfect color for the holiday season.

Back to the gym (finally)!
Hey everyone!
I finally came back from my vacation and it was amazing! My boyfriend and I had an amazing time and I believe the trip brought us closer together after everything that has happened over the past few months.
Being on vacation and eating to my hearts content I decided to finally go back to the gym. I've been asking our friends to go and everyone says no so I decided to go back on my own.
I was afraid of going alone but I actually really like it. It feels good to be able to do things on my own and not have to compare myself to my friends. I went twice this week for two and a half hours and my body is hurting so much today. But it's a good hurt. My belly and legs hurt quite a bit and to be honest I'm surprised that I'm hurting so much because I only didn't go to the gym for a month and a half but I guess if I want to keep my body in shape I should go all the time and not skip for a month.
It feels so good to be going back since my eating habits have been getting worse since I have not been working for about a month. I've been really bored at home and I've been eating out way too much lately so this is a good thing.
I need to continue doing this for myself and I know when I drive my boyfriend to work I'll be heading to the gym right after. I wanted to go today but my body aches way too much and I need to let it rest up.
To those of you who don't want to work out or have stopped and need motivation working out is a great way to get away from the world for a bit and to de stress and think of other things. I believe that I should have gone back to the gym as soon as possible after my life flipped upside down and I know that would have helped me out with the stress but I didn't go and that is why I am in so much pain now.
Please, think of your body and your mental health and do this for yourself. You will live a healthier and happier life by going to the gym for a few hours a week.
Cheers!
