products i recommend to everyone!!

A couple of people have been asking me lately, what are my favorite beauty products, what do i use and so on.. . Heres a small list of things i use daily. I've tried 100 different creams, makeup brands, hair products, etc etc and found these to be the best,at least for me. Of course everyones skin type is different and all that, but if u wanna give these things a shot, go for it! The first thing i get asked is what do i put on my healing tattoos? Well, i know tattoo artists and shops mostly recommend Lubriderm and/or A&D Ointment....well, to me Lubriderm doesnt lock in moisture like a lotion should, and a&d ointment is just sticky and smells bad. lol. I use Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Lotion. First off, it comes in a HUGE bottle for like 6 bucks which is the same price as lubriderm, and second, that shit will keep you moisturized a lot longer, in my opinion. This can be found anywhere..Walmart, walgreens, cvs, even winn dixie, so no excuses people!
Another product I use all the time is the Rimmel London Gentle Eye Makeup Remover.
Now, like i said, ive use many products before, and yes the majority of them do their job which is -to remove makeup. But, its either really oily, has a weird smell, burns your eyes, or you just have to use too much of it.
This makeup remover is about 6 bucks at cvs and itll last a while! i wear makeup everyday and i remove it everyday , i buy 1 bottle like every 2 months. You put a little on a tissue or cotton ball, and wipe, ur makeup is gone..whether its mac,urban decay or dollar store stuff, its coming off!
The next product i wanna tell you to about is a hair product..I do not do hair and never have but, i sure as hell dye my shit a lot and am always looking for a good conditioner. The reason i like this one so much is because it comes in an awesome little spray bottle so you dont have to stay in the shower trying to rinse it off (its leave in-duh) it smells great. Doesnt leave your hair greasy, and really makes it smooth...Im talking about John Frieda Frizz Ease Leave In Daily Nourish Conditioner. This stuff is awesome and can also be found in a drug store, for i think like 10 bucks.


Now, if you dye your own hair , you know what a mess it can be if a nasty black glob of dye lands on ur shoulder or ears or neck.Well, This stuff takes it off and comes in little pads so it makes it less of a mission. Just rub it on wherever the dye stained your skin and its coming off, trust me. I dye my hair 3 different colors every month, i know how it is to have a stain and rub for hours and nothing!
So get this,. i got it at Sally beauty Supply for about 4 bucks..comes with 80 pads
Dy Zoff! Pads

Another hair product i really like is LoReAl Studioline Overworked Hair Putty
I always wanna add volume and make my hair have that choppy look, this is a regular styling putty that doesnt leave ur hair greasy and works!
Now, moving on to Skin ... I found this face cream one day while roaming thru walgreens, i payed like 10 bucks for it but so far so good, i got the multi vitamin one, but they have for ALL skin types.
Ziaja Face Creams
And last but not least. . Makeup.
There are a lot of people who will not buy a drugstore brand eyeshadow, or anything thats not MAC, but guess what? There are eyeshadows in this world,other than Mac and all that, that work if you apply them right. Im talking about Milani Eyeshadows..Give them a chance, their like 5 bux each which beats paying 13 at mac (dont get me wrong, i love mac) but these work just as good as long as you have a good eyeshadow primer.

Which brings me to my next and final product for this blog....
And its Urban Decay eyeshadow Primer Potion
Pretty much self explanatory , but yes, all u do is grab a little , put it on ur eyelid and apply your eyeshadow, it makes colors pop, and doesnt let those annoying little eyelid creases happen AT ALL!
Ive tried other stuff before i found this, like the Mac paint pot thingy, but its not the same! trust me!
This can be found at Sephora, i think its like 13-15 bux and it is fucken magic!


Well i hope my little list helps you guys who asked...you really should check into these products...if you dont like it...uhm........

you will :)

This isnt in the order it went, im trying to update everyone off my memory right now, which might be a little fucked up because i havnt slept for about 30 hours. . .sooo here goes. . .


first off i want to say i got a new puppy :)

His name is capone and hes my buddy.
Weird little fellow, he likes to go in my closet and bring stuff out of it into the living room and makes his own little corner, which usually consists of a towel, some type of underwear that belongs to me, and random other little things like makeup brushes or cigarette boxes...

Sometimes he gets stuck in the stuff he brings, here he is trapped inside my bra ,somehow he does this to himself. . .


Anyhoooo, I went to the beach today, and this is one thing i love about Miami, and one reason id never leave this place.

We are in december, and i went to the beach and got a nice little sunburn.

lol..Of course i was with the besties Liza and Spazzo, and a friend of ours sam joined us..and duh, we hit up pizza rustica after bcuz that tomato basil pizza is off the chizzain!

bacardi 151 i believe,anyway that shit was gooood.
after lulus we hit up a place also in ft. "laudy" called
howl at the moon, which is a piano bar..i didnt know what to expect going in, but we had a really good time. .
Basically you request whatever song u wanna hear, and 2 dudes sing it and play it on a piano.....good times :)

hit me up for piercings,dont forget

Wanted to share this with everyone

Understand once he was a family man
so surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
Emulate all the shit my mother hated
I can't help but demostrate my Freudian fate
My alibi for taking your guy
history repeats itself, it fails to die
and animal agression is my downfall
I don't care 'bout what you got I wanted all

It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my bed
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?

I'm nurturing, I just wanna do my thing
and I'll take the wrong man as naturally as I sing
and I'll save my tears for uncovering my fears
for behavioural patters that stick over the years

It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my bed
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?

I love the zoo!!

Reading is sexy :-p

Wuts up people? I am seriously, enjoying the fuck outta my mac n cheese. Anyway, I just wanted to tell everyone about this book i am reading. Im about 2 chapters away from finishing it, and yes, i am very open to lending it to whoever seriously wants to read it.
This book is called Hes just not that into you.
Its written by Greg Behrendt And Liza Tuccillo.
If you are not familiar with these people.
Here they are
Greg is a comedian who lives in LA with his wife and kids. He has his own show called The Greg Behrendt show ,which is pretty much a relationship talk show. he was a consultant for 3 seasons on Sex And The City and has another book called 'Its called a breakup because its broken' .The Show is awesome, the book is awesome, and this man is awesome because he is brutally honest and i think people need that shit!






Liz Tuccillo was an executive story editor on Sex and The City and the author of a book called How to Be Single.She is a real ass bitch who lives in NY.







This book simply tells woman what they need to know to stop falling into these traps of retarted men! There should be no excuses, men are not complicated, you shouldnt waste your time with a man who will do this, that or the other to you. the truth is -Hes just not that into you. The book consists of reexamining familiar scenarios and mindsets that keep women in unsatisfying relationships. This book is provacative and funny as fuck.



Usually i dont like these types of books, this whole I am Woman , hear me roar, crap! BUT! This book is awesome because as a woman you can relate to every story u read in it. it makes you really take a step back, and analyze the situations your put in. and helps you deal.

So Make your trip to a barns & nobles and go pick it up. $22.00.....well spent!


GO!



and thanks to Sasha for being the one to tell me about it :-p



Ta-Ta for now!
Vany

Shop Til U Drop

Today was one of the most LEAST hectic days ive had in a while.
I woke up around 3:00, yes PM, i hybernate!
Took a shower and me and my brother spent the day doing bullshit just to kill time but it was awesome, days like this are relaxing as fuck to me.
You dont have to be anywhere at any certain time and that shit is stress free :-p
Anyway, we started the day by taking a trip to The Home Depot!how exciting, lol.
I had to buy a tarp to cover my balcony because i cant allow my dog to see anyone (he faces the parking lot so theres people all the time) and he barks too much, and the neighbors have complained,sooo its either get rid of the dog or think of a way to make him stop barking.After about 30 minutes of being lost in this gigantic store that has nothing that interests me except those glass bowl sinks, i finally found the fucken tarp, bought that bitch and we were on our way.
Of course at this point we were hungry, so we stopped at a fairly new restaurant by my house called Rock Beach Grill. This was my second time being there, and once again, a pleasure.
The food is good as fuck, plus they have BOMB ASS Rum Runners!
I had the Mahi Mahi with mango sauce...MmMM!
After lunch we decided to go shop a little, I, like always couldnt find anything i loved, and if i dont love it, i dont buy it,period.
I ended up getting a puma purse, and a 3 shirts.
My brother got a pair of jeans and a t shirt.
After that, due to our athletic yet immature ways , we went to the sports authority and played around for a while.
Then we had some mr.softee :) and if u dont know what that is, you better find a truck quick.

Heres Damian and I

Yeah, i know, were awesome.. .
Well, i should do something productive and study, havnt done that in a couple days, i have a test coming up soon.

So as i pump starbucks into my veins,











Ill leave you with this for your viewing pleasure.





isnt he cute?!?
