My Weight loss Journey

Hey my beauties!

Today I want to share with you a journey that I am currently on.

I have decided to get back into shape, and shed some pounds so right now I want to share with all of you how I've been doing and what I've been using.

1. Alli

 

I've been taking Alli for a couple weeks now and already I've shed about 5-7 Pounds. However let me be clear about a couple things:

1. You must eat right and exercise! 

(And what I mean by eating right, is that you cannot have more than 15 grams of fat per meal)

2. If you consume A LOT of fat...you will have greasy bowel movements...I'm NOT joking

This is not a quick-fix pill you have to work at it and it will HELP you lose more weight than dieting and exercising alone.

2. Gold Gym's Waist & Thigh Trimmer

I know that these belts only help shed water, but since I don't sweat that much while doing cardio, I needed something to help me sweat more. After about 10 minutes of having these belts on, I'm sweating like I would after about an hour :D

So that is pretty much where I am at right now, I have high hopes and I am keeping an open mind and being optimistic, and taking baby steps right now so I don't bite off more than I can chew :)

September Favorites!

I know I am a little early, but I just wanted to get my September Favorites done for all of you!

Sorry for not putting anything up for a while!

Okay so let's get started: 

Neutrogena Anti-Residue Shampoo:

 

I really like this shampoo because if I feel that my hair is having too much buildup I will cleanse my hair about twice a week with this shampoo and it will remove any product buildup! Also, it does strip hair color so if you're looking to help lighten your hair by simply washing, I would strongly recommend this product :) 

Maybelline Baby lips "Peppermint":

 

 Okay so I've been wanting to purchase Maybelline's Baby Lips, and I am SO glad that I did. This makes my lips super soft and it also gives a nice little tingle ;-) I also have the "Fruit Punch" one and whenever I wear it, i have bright barbie pink lips lol

Alli:

 

Alright, I am currently trying to get back into shape so I picked up Alli to help me lose more weight along with exercising and eating right. Let me be really clear...you cannot simply take this pill and expect to lose 20 pounds instantly. You do have to work at it, you cannot eat greasy pizza and a double cheese burger because it simply will not work but so far I've lost about 5 pounds! Go me!

BabylissPro Carrera 2 Ceramic Ionic Hair Dryer

 

I had to replace my old hair dryer and I wanted to get one that was more top of the line. I've heard nothing but good things about Babyliss Hair dryers so I went to Folica.com and I purchased the Pro Procelain Ceramic Hair Dryer. It seriously dries my hair instantly and I don't feel like I am frying my hair like I did with my other dryers. A must have!

Neutrogena's Pink Grapefruit Scrub

 

This is my ultimate favorite face scrub. I don't think I will ever use anything else. Not only does it smell AMAZING, but it leaves my face soft and clean! I use about twice a day morning and night and I will also use a face mask afterwards to give my face a more deep clean but this is honestly the best scrub I've ever used. Ladies and Gentlemen you need to have this in your bathroom!

Product Review: SAMY's Fat Foam Hair Dye

Facebook: BearBeauty

So I've dyed my hair a lot, and I've tried a few different brands, but NOTHING will compare to Samy's Fat Foam Hair Color!

 

This is my favorite hair color because it is very easy to apply and it gives you great color!

This includes:

1. Base Solution

2. Powder

3. Gloves

4. Post Shampoo & Conditioner

5. Shaker (to mix the base solution & Powder)

So you mix the Base solution and the powder into the shaker and it legit creates foam. For the size, you get a lot of color, usually I need like 2 boxes of hair dye when I color my hair and I only used one box when using this product. After applying the color all over my hair I still had some product left over which NEVER happens!

They have a pretty decent selection of color choices, I used N4 Dark Brown.

 

so I would strongly recommend this product to anyone who is considering dying their hair, it seriously is so easy to apply and it makes the process a lot quicker!

I purchased mine from Walmart:

Foods That Are Good For Your Skin

Link: Facebook: BearBeauty

Hey there Ladies and Gents! Here is a list of foods that are really good for your skin!

1. Avocado:As we all know avocados are wonderful for your skin due to that  they have lots of essential oils and B-Complex that will nourish your skin inside and out :) - it also makes a good face mask too!

 

  

2.Mangoes: 

Not only are Mangoes tasty, but they also have more than 80% of our daily Vitamin A needs which helps fight any premature aging!

3. Almonds: Almonds are great for your skin because it contains more than 150% of our daily Vitamin E requirements which will leave your skin with a beautiful complexion. So I guess it's safe to say that "Getting Nutty" is good for your ;-).

4. Cottage Cheese: Now, I know there are some out there that might not be a huge fan of cottage cheese. But, there are some perks to eating a bit of cottage cheese. It contains Selenium (which is an essential mineral) that also teams up with Vitamin E that acts as a powerful antioxidant duo! Cottage cheese is said to also help protect against Skin Cancer and fight dandruff!

5. Acerola Cherries: These little guys contain a lot of Vitamin C, which is really good for your skin. So good that because it's an antioxidant, these cherries help fight against wrinkles and skin damage!

6. Mushrooms: Mushrooms are rich in Riboflavin (B Vitamin) which is crucial to your skin. Riboflavin helps in improving skin blemishes. Also this vitamin is important to the body when it's sustaining a burn, wound, or even undergoing surgery.

7. Flaxseed Oil: I'm not sure that this is considered a "food" but it does do a great deal to your skin. Just taking one teaspoon a day will hydrate the skin and in turn being such an essential fatty acid will help unclog those pores that leads to acne!
