What's up my sweets!  Let's talk HAIR! 

I hate my hair!  Ok hate is a strong word, I unlike my hair!  LOL!  It's sooooo thick, sooooo curly, sooooo dry!  It's been a struggle for me, my entire life.  If there's a product out there for dry/curly hair, I've tried it!  I try it all!  When it comes to my hair, I don't care how much it cost if I think it might work...I have to buy it. 

I was lucky to have been sent 2 amazing hair brushes from BrushLove.  What's funny, is that no matter how many products I buy for my hair, I don't really consider how important a hair brush can be.  I just go to my local drug store and buy one that is round and has bristles....right?  NO! 

 I usually use a round bristle brush like this

What would annoy me about this brush is that when I would try to curl my ends, my hair would get caught and get all knotted.  It didn't really matter cause I would use my curling iron, but after using one of the brushes they sent me, I realized how much better having nylon bristles can be!  Here is my new lover!

BrushLab {Fresh} Thermal Round Large Hair Brush

I used this brush over the weekend and I was amazed at how good it is!

First of all, It literally cut my dry time in half.  NO LIE!  But that wasn't the best part.  The best part of the brush was it didn't knot my hair when I twirled it around to make a curl.  I think for me this was the most amazing thing.  It also stays cool to the touch!  I really loved using this brush.  It's only $15.98 and if some of you were like me, and thought I don't need a $16 dollar brush, I'll just buy a cheap one at the dollar store.  Oh no!  Get this brush!  It will change your hair life! 

I also got the Cushion paddle brush, which was beyond fab for detangling my hair

Brushlab Zebra Cushion Paddle Hair Brush

I had to do a before and after picture so you guys could see how fab my hair turned out.

I took this before picture on Saturday afternoon and usually I put some sort of curl cream, but this time I just left it curly with no products, so you can see what my curl looks like before I blow dry.

And if your wondering why I was wearing this sweater, it was freaking freezing on Saturday!  But of course it's like 100 today!  Anyhoo, here are my after pics

Thank you so much to Eti Fani and BrushLove for sending me these awesome brushes!  I also want to thank New Jersey Latina Bloggers for making me part of their amazing group!  

Hope you enjoy this post!

Happy shopping!

Happy Birthday to me! Love these girls!

Another weekend bites the dust! 

Obviously, I didn't win the powerball!  LOL!  Even though I didn't win the lottery, I had an awesome weekend and an even better birthday!  My friends took me to dinner on Friday night, and I just wanted to share some pics.  We went to Benihana and OMG was it delish!  Love that place!  I know these pics suck but I only had my Iphone.  My dress was pretty simple, but I love the floral pattern.  I love that you can dress it up or down, like I did.  

THANK YOU to all my friends and family for making my birthday so special!
