Christmas Time





On December 14 (my padres birthday) I spent the night with my dear daddio decorating our holiday tree. This is one thing I look forward to every year, I always start to feel the Christmas spirit on this day. My dad assembles the tree and loads it up with lights, and I go crazy making sure its covered with all of our mix matched collection of ornaments. My favorite being my ceramic hand print from way back when I was in a pre school. 




This past weekend my cousin and I ventured into Manhattan to go see the Christmas Hoopla in Rockefeller Center. When I say mob scene it is by no means an understatement, people were everywhere, you would think Christmas trees were falling from the sky it was so crowded. There's something about NYC that makes you not care so much about the crowds though, just seeing all the families together taking pictures, smiling, laughing, and enjoying their time together for me, is better then  seeing the sights. I love spending time with my family. I had so much fun exploring the city with my cousin, I cannot wait for our next trip in.   



Today was my last day of work until the new year. We had three days of festive holiday parties. I don't think  I've ever heard or watched so many Christmas songs or movies. I love this time of year at work. We have so many laughs, everyone is in such good spirits and the kids are so excited for Santa. It helps to bring back the magic in believing. Happy Holidays

Hair rescue


Once cold weather comes around my skin and hair take a drastic change for the worst. 
My ends literally felt like a Brillo pad.... Not so nice. 
So this past weekend I did some research on natural ways to treat dry and/or damaged hair.
I came across this miracle worker. Olive Oil. 
Who would of thought something you keep in the kitchen would be an inexpensive rescue treatment to the mess of hair I had going on. 
I've been using it every three or four days now, I put a quarter size amount in my palm and run it through my hair concentrating mostly on my ends. I do dab whats ever left on my palm, around the crown of my hair, 
that's where my skin gets super dry. 
I wrap my hair in a high tight bun and sleep with the treatment in and give it a good rinse in the morning. 
I have naturally curly hair and no matter what products I have tried or how much money I have spent,
my hair has never held up this shine or softness. 
I have a new addition to my beauty regimen and I am obsessed.
