Happy Friday, all. This week was pretty brutal, so I'm so happy to have a couple days off from work. Even with the craziness of my days, I was able to find some time for myself. So very needed, so I have for you... some tidbits of my mini-ventures.
The Cornstarch Accident
I normally use the Oscar Blandi Invisible Dry Shampoo to touch up excess oil in my hair. It works really well absorbing oils and freshening up my hair again. But sadly, I ran out and didn't go out to get another one yet. I opted to use cornstarch as a quick fix, it was my first time. Just a light dust over your scalp and brush it out a few minutes later. Well, I meant to pour just a little in my hand and it ended up getting more than I needed and in more places than my hand.
TIP: Don't pour cornstarch directly into your hand, use a spoon.
For the record, cornstarch works to get rid of oily hair, at least for me. Have you tried this?
The Favorite
Lately, these grapes have been a favorite in my house. It's been an everyday snack. and I love it.
The Florida Thunderstorms
ALL WEEK, the thunder roared through the skies and beat on the windows. The rain flooded the streets, the lightning crawled through the clouds, and did you hear about the hurricane that's supposed to swing near Florida? A normal day to us Floridians, what's new?
The Cat and the Catalog
I got a surprise in the mail in the form of a J Crew catalog. Going through it before bed and this little kitty joins me. We both love this look and those sunglasses.
The Five Guys Cheeseburger
This week, I was finally able to catch up with my cousin over some Five Guys. Totally threw a wrench into my fitness plan, but the satisfaction... totally worth it.
The Newbie to the Makeup Bag
I've never been much of a lipstick girl. But I do love some color from time to time with tinted lip balms. This Fresh Sugar Lip Treatment is one of my favorites, so I made quick shopping trip after work for a little retail therapy.
That's a wrap for my week, how has your week been?
I had a baking soda accident this week. I was tipping a bit into the bath to clean it and ended up tipping the whole container into the wet bath, opps. Those chips look so good!! I hope you enjoy your days off work :)
ReplyDeleteWe both have the case of Butter Fingers!
DeleteI love sugar rose! I own like five tubes of it incase I loose one!

DeleteMmm, I love 5 Guys! Their food is sooo good. I'll have to try out that tinted lip balm since I'm not a huge fan of lipstick either. I'm a new follower :)

I've really started to go back to using lipstick again and I love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, those green grapes are some of my favorites!! I went to an Asian party last night, and they had a whole box. I think I ate at least a half of that. XD
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! And ah, darn about the cornstarch. At least it was all just on your hand, instead of your head. :)
