Cinnabun it up!

HOTD:
"Cinnabun"

Hello ladies!
Today I wanted to share one of my hairstyles I created this morning with the help of YouTube, some bobby pins, a polka dot headscarf , and of course a drop of creativity (Chuckles). For starters, It's been really cold here in Denton, TX and the weather is not a good friend to neither me or my course, natural hair. In spite of this, I decided to contemplate a few hairstyle ideas I can wear throughout the winter time so that I wont end up with dry brittle hair towards the end of the week.

 I decided to explore YouTube yesterday and I eventually stumbled upon one of the cutest hairstyles I've ever seen called the cinnabun. The cinnabun is a cute protective style which requires you to roll, tuck, and pin your hair into a beautiful bun shape. After watching a  select video from a beautiful natural vlogger ,onyxbeauty1988, I decided to give this hairstyle a try. As you can see below, I decided to do the cinnabun hairstyle in the back of my hair while leaving out a twisted bang in the front for some extra flair. :] 
(Cute right???

Take a look!

Items needed:
1.)Elastic headband                               2.) Polka dot scarf                                       3.) Bobby pins

To achieve this hairstyle you will need an elastic head band, a cute head scarf, and of course lots and lots of bobby pins. Next, I recommend you watch onyxbeauty1988's cinnabun hairstyle video for a step-by-step process on how to achieve this cute and elegant hair style. Trust me, it's a perfect updo for natural hair in the winter time! :)

Dorm Room Makeover: Drab to Fab!


When I first arrived to Texas Woman's University I was very eager to start my new life run away. As you first move into college you're surrounded by strangers, weird locations, and of course a brand new room which doesn't feel or look like "home" at all. To make matters worse, I was given a very dirty dorm room which reminded me of a roach motel. Well, I take that statement back, my new dorm room was worse than a roach motel! When I first moved in I was greeted to dust, cobwebs, and of course doo-doo stains on my bed. ( I'm not kidding ) My new room was very dirty, empty, and just plain ole' boring so I decided to visit Hobby Lobby to completely transform my shabby room into a living area fit for a queen. (*cough* That's me!)   

While shopping at Hobby Lobby, I saw a lot of great items and decorations that would match my room perfectly. Before I bought any items I decided that I would only pick up decorations which entailed the Eiffel tower and the colors purple and black. Purple and black are the two main colors of my prom dress so I thought  it would be a very cool idea to incorporate my room around those exact colors. With a small budget of 100 dollars, I eventually settled and bought some really beautiful items for my room. I also bought some really cool items for my desk area as well since it'll become the main spot where I will spend majority of my time. After a few hours of decorating, cleaning and organizing, my shabby room was transformed into a chic living area just for me. 
The pictures don't lie. Take a look! :)

My prom picture was the main source of inspiration for my new and chic dorm room. I'm usually the kind of girl who always goes for pink items and such ,but I wanted to try something new and completely different while channeling a whole new me (plus,the color pink is soooo yesterday).  I was completely in love with my prom dress's color scheme,purple and black, so I chose to mainly revolve my room around those two distinct colors. Judging from the pictures, I think I nailed the perfect dorm room, eh? 

Thank you guys for reading. <3

Items purchased:
* "Keep calm carry on" pillow
*Purple oval candle holders
*Black rhinestone candle holders
* Eiffel tower wall sticker
* Eiffel tower statue
* "You Look Gorgeous" wall-lettering

Here's a very short clip of my dorm room. Go on don't be shy, click the button! :)

Walmart Beauty Haul


Beauty Must-Haves:


Hey Beauties!
Recently, I took a trip over to one of my favorite stores, Walmart.
Much to my surprise, I found some really nifty beauty items that were fairly cheap. Personally, I'm one of those type of people who loves a great product along with a great bargain as well. I managed to snag some really effective products for my personal use which retailed around the price of just $1-5 dollars maximum. 
That's a steal right? (Hell yeah!)

These items are as follows:
- Hollywood Beauty Olive Oil
-Paradise Spa Vanilla Icing Body Lotion (yum!)
-Paradise Spa Vanilla Icing Shower Gel
-Clear Scalp&Hair Therapy Shampoo-Ultra Shea
-Handi Sandi Hand Sanitizer


What are your favorite beauty products from Walmart? Do share. ;)

Happy Blogging,
