I decided to go with the glittery gold extensions because it goes well with the holidays. For New Year’s Eve, I think silver would be the perfect touch to your hair. I had so much fun doing this and it was super fast. You can follow these same steps in order to add some regular hair texture highlights to your hair if you are not brave enough to actually get real highlights. This is a safer way of getting highlights while avoiding the damage to your hair.
For Thanksgiving we went over to my aunt’s place. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving because I got to spend some time with some family members we never get to see. We had delicious Cuban style turkey, pork, white rice, black beans, yuca, salad, cranberry sauce, sweet potato, chocolate and dulce de leche cake, and sweet potato cupcakes.
I have a lot to be thankful for this year. From all the things I am thankful for the main things I give thanks for are my family, my wonderful fiance, and most importantly for the peace of mind that I have right now in my life.
Happy Holidays to all of you!!! *^_^*
A slayer is a young female bestowed with mystical powers that originate from the essence of a pure-demon, which gives her superhuman senses, strength, agility, resilience and speed in the fight against forces of darkness. She occasionally receives prophetic dreams in the few hours that she sleeps.
The opening narration in the Buffy series states "Into every generation a slayer is born: one girl in all the world, a chosen one. She alone will wield the strength and skill to fight the vampires, demons, and the forces of darkness; to stop the spread of their evil and the swell of their number. She is the Slayer."
In these last few weeks, I have definitely noticed my hair has been growing faster compared to my normal hair growth rate. Since my hair has been growing faster, I have been trimming it more often. Actually, I trimmed my ends last night because every time I cut my ends my hair seems so much healthier. I really can not pin point what’s causing the faster hair growth. Recently, I started taking hair vitamins again and I’ve been using more coconut oil, Emu oil and the hair growth stimulator spray. I’ve been using other new hair products but those are the ones I haven’t stop using in the last couple of weeks. Since my hair appears healthier and longer I’ve been getting a lot more compliments about my hair and its length. I can not wait to see how long it will be in a few more months. My goal is not just to achieve very long hair but most importantly achieve healthy hair. I think the health of my hair comes first because healthy hair is always noticeable.
This simple striped dress is from Ross. I love this dress because it has a beautiful fit and it is very comfortable. This simple dress can be dressed up by simply adding beautiful high heels and more accessories.
For this look I decided to wear my hair down like I usually do. However, wearing your hair up in a bun or high ponytail can turn a simple outfit like this into a beautiful dressier look.
The color blue is one of my favorite colors to wear. I think blue looks great on tan skin especially if you have dark hair. A beautiful blue color like this one will help make your beautiful tan skin and dark hair pop.
This was at my uncle’s place. We had a small family reunion in order to celebrate one of my cousin’s birthday. It was nice spending some time with the family and my fiancé.
This is my fiancé and I. I just love to take photos of every occasion especially when I’m having a good time.
Red and blue is the perfect combo! Match made in heaven. = )
Michael Kors Gold Runway Watch
Although I already have the Michael Kors gold Bradshaw watch I am glad I got this one as well. They are both gold but this Runway watch stands out more. It is a few millimeters bigger and the band is also thicker. Last night at the family reunion, I received two compliments about this watch. The compliments confirmed that I made a great choice by deciding on this particular MK model. When you have this baby on your wrist you definitely know you’re wearing a big one. If you don’t like big heavy watches this might not be the watch for you.
Below I included photos of the two gold Michael Kors watches I have so that you can compared the difference.
MK5605
Michael Kors 'Bradshaw' Chronograph Bracelet Watch
Case diameter: 43mm
Band Width: 20mm
The gold of this watch is shiny all over unlike the Runway watch which is only shiny in the center of the band and around the face of the watch.
MK8077
Michael Kors 'Large Gold Runway' Watch
Case diameter: 46mm
Band Width: 24mm
The gold of this watch is shiny in the center of the band and the outer parts of the band is a matt gold.

What Vitamins Does Your Hair Need?
With today's unhealthy diet and fancy lifestyles, a lot of people fail to realize that good nutrition is vital to one’s health. It is also important to have a healthy hair growth. Just as our body needs vitamins to maintain proper body functioning, the hair also contains vitamins that are mainly responsible for hair growth and health.
Your hair consists of proteins. When you try to have a hair relax, use heat to dry, or perm or color, you are trying to strip off the nutrition on your hair. Your hair needs not only protein but it also needs heavy amino acids and vitamins to form hair. Thus, it is necessary that the right vitamins should be given to your hair. Lack of vitamins slows down the growth of hair, making your hair look dull and easily broken and may cause thinning hair.
It takes about a month or so for the hair to absorb the hair vitamins and get into the system. You should start seeing your hair grow at a rate of 1 inch per month. Vitamins have also been reported to help with dandruff and scalp issues.
Some of the vitamins found in this Nourish Hair Nutrition Vitamins are listed below.
Biotin – This vitamin produces keratin that prevents hair loss and hair graying. may prevent graying and hair loss. Food sources: Brewer's yeast, whole grains, egg yolks, liver, rice and milk.
Vitamin B12 - It prevents hair loss. Food sources: Chicken, fish, eggs and milk.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) - This prevents graying and hair loss. Food sources: Whole grain cereals, brewer's yeast, organ meats and egg yolks.
One benefit of vitamin for hair growth is that it maximizes the potential of the cells to be healthy and without damage.
If the cells of the hair follicles are healthy, then the growth will not be blocked. Adequate blood flow will also keep it nourished so as not to induce any falling hair.
Another benefit is that women who are fond of styling their hair in braids, color or treatments can be able to take care of their hair by a sufficient amount of vitamin intake.
Since styling can cause the cells to die, vitamins nourish the scalp to prevent further chemical damage on the follicles and hair.
Lastly, if the hair is healthy, that means that the nails are also healthy. Since hair is made up of the same protein type that nails are made up of, vitamins can be able to help in maintaining the good growth of nails and hair.
Interesting facts about the color purple
Purple is royalty. A mysterious color, it is associated with both nobility and spirituality. The opposites of hot red and cool blue combine to create this intriguing color. Purple has a special, almost sacred place in nature: lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet flowers are often delicate and considered precious. Because it is derived from the mixing of a strong warm and strong cool color it has both warm and cool properties. A purple room can boost a child's imagination or an artist's creativity. Too much though, like blue, could result in moodiness.
Purple was the favorite color of Egypt's Cleopatra. It has been traditionally associated with royalty in many cultures. Purple robes were worn by royalty and people of authority or high rank.

A few of my viewers have asked me to post photos of my fiancé and I. We took this photo on Friday July 27th right before we went out to eat at the Cuban restaurant Casa Larios. My fiancé is wearing a Michael Kors watch that I got him for his birthday. I am completely obsessed with this watch. The model of the watch is MK8255. It has a beautiful shiny gunmetal color and the numbers inside are in rose gold, which gives the watch a very elegant and classy touch.
