WHY DO YOU LOVE MAKEUP?

Hey Blossoms, This is a question asked most commonly by others, rarely by ourselves and almost never answered in it's entirety to either... WHY DO YOU LOVE MAKEUP?? I say: WHY NOT?! It's great to wear to help you look your best, it boosts your confidence and makes you feel good. You can wear any look you desire or create one. It's like being a walking Picasso painting to me... Blossoms: I want to know "WHY DO YOU LOVE MAKEUP?...

HEALTHY HAIR JOURNEY: 6 INCHES TO 3 INCHES!!! BIG CHOP?!

Hey Blossoms, So yes my hair has gone from 6 inches at its longest point (front of head to tip of nose) to 3 inches in that same spot! I know your wondering how???? I discovered something entirely by accident. While attempting double strand twists for the first time I noticed that the ends were super long and straight as opposed to curled or puffy. I went online to the natural hair channels I'm subscribed to on Youtube and even to the natural hair blogs I follow and looked at tutorials of two strand twists as well as pictures of a full head of two strand twists and noticed not one person had long straight ends! They were either curled  or...

LOOK WHAT I WON FROM L'OREAL PARIS!!

Hey Blossoms, I love Twitter. It connects a universe of people from all walks of life and backgrounds in 140 characters or less. What's even better about Twitter is the sheer availability of information, advice and tips in the makeup world from Celebrity Makeup Artists, major cosmetic brands, freelance makeup artists and makeup lovers alike! My favorite hashtag (#) chats on Twitter are #makeupchat & #makeupmonday. If your in the Twitter world be sure to visit these two "places". Many times people and companies conduct retweet contests/giveaways. Basically you retweet their tweet for a chance to win a prize. L'oreal Paris had a recent retweet...

HEALTHY HAIR JOURNEY: 1st BANTU KNOT OUT!

Hey Blossoms, I had to post about my first successful bantu knot out. A very simple and easy to do style but its so versatile in the ways you can wear it. I love afros so of course I did this look and created an afro puff ponytail. When I first went natural I wore a high ponytail and didn't pick out my hair so there was lots of strinkage. That's fine by me I love my cute little ponytail puff! Here's my hair before the bantu knot out... I didn't take a picture of my bantu knots while they were in but they look like a coil wrapped into a "knot". You can part the hair however you like and do as many or as few as you like. I believe I only...

HEALTHY HAIR JOURNEY: IM ALL NATURAL!!!!

Hey Blossoms, I wanted to share with you all that I've embarked on a hair journey....to healthy AND natural hair! This has been something I've been working towards since May 2010. Here's a brief history of my hair story.. Age 12: First Perm. I remember being so excited to get a perm (after months of begging for one) although my hair was really short. I remember thinking I'd prefer straight and short hair over coarse and short hair. Initially that's how I felt but as time went on I grew to dislike my hair in general whether straight or coarse. I can remember clearly my aunt telling me if I didn't keep a silk wrap on when I was lying down that...
