TRIFECTA!!!

I'M BAAAACK AND I'M BETTER

Well I had a few difficulties with my old laptop literally coming apart in my hands and having to get a new one to finish out the semester! I'm now back in action with updates on hair, a book, and quick makeup grab!

Crochet Box Braids

I decided to go natural my freshman year, by first transitioning for a while until I felt comfortable enough to cut all the perm out. Around this time I discovered wigs and fell in love, so I still have yet to do much of styling to my own hair. Once I graduate I will definitely have more time and  patience to experiment! I feel that your hair can transform you into a whole new person!

These crochet box braids that I have now are absolutely amazing! I wish I found these when I started transitioning, because it puts very low stress on your hair, plus they are cute! I have gotten these two other times before, and it doesn't take long to install (I didn't install them myself, but you can). Since your hair is cornrowed to the back it is best that your hair isn't straight, so the hair style stays secure. Make sure to fill in around the front (to your pleasure), so that the spacing between each cornrow isn't too obvious. The braids come in different sizes of small, medium, and large (mine are medium), and you can buy them in the beauty supply store. I think they even have some colored ones! I plan to keep these in as long as possible (Maybe 3weeks)!

P.S. Don't forget to tie down and lay those baby hairs! Its been all day for me and took these pics right before bed! No judging!

#1 Bestselling Writer in the world

Zoo by James Patterson with Michael Ledwidge is regarded as the greatest book ever written by Patterson! This man has written AT LEAST 61 books, and some of them have either become a movie or a TV series! Zoo is actually on Netflix currently, but it is a cheap imitation of the book in my opinion; VERY DIFFERENT. He is definitely one of my all time favorite authors, so you will see a lot of books from him. This particular story is absolutely ingenious! I don't understand how he can weave such unique concepts and realities!

This story is not a crime solving deal, which he is highly recognized for (Alex Cross series), but actually centers around the animals. The animals aren't talking, well not in the way you would imagine. The laws of nature as, humanity has known it, has slowly been shifting back in the favor of the animals. Humans have adopted animals for pets, entertainment, and studies; however, these animals are rising up. It starts in the zoos with animals strategically escaping and attacking their caretakers. These events are regarded as unusual and tragic, but biologist Jackson Oz knows exactly what is happening. The only problem is everyone in the scientific world thought his idea was delusional. Oz sets out to prove them all wrong and fix this problem by travelling to Africa, where he witnesses more than he ever imagined. The lions have congregated in masses and organized an attack on the human tourists. This is unheard of, and more witnesses note that lions are not the only animals committing unprovoked attacks on humans. They seem to be communicating.

Soon the whole world is under attack: Animals vs. Humans! Jackson Oz is the only one who has been studying for this type of animal behavior, yet even he seems unprepared and stumped by the events unfolding rapidly. He is the world's new saving grace to resurrect humanity!

This book has action, suspense, and unique intelligence! It is a crazy page turner that had me on edge with the many different twists and turns. I was shocked, since this is nothing like anything I have ever read before, and usually wouldn't have picked up. I was confused on how a book involving animals was considered the nest book ever from Patterson, but I now understand! Zoo is something you have never come across before!

Milani Cosmetics

So, lipstick is my favorite thing ever! They are just so fun and come in many different colors! I won't lie though, I am one of those people who will buy multiple versions of essentially the same color. I'm partial to dark reds, because I feel it is always a good shade to toss on! I own a liquid foundation from Milan, yet I never got around to picking up one of the lipsticks. I have seen the lipstick lines on Instagram makeup pages and loved them, but just now got my hands on them! They both were $7.99 at Walgreens, but cosmetic prices fluctuate a lot depending on what promotions they are running and new stock.

Left/Top: Matte Metallic Lip Crème

• Color: Over-Dramattic (13)
• Formula: Smooth application and dries without making my lips feel chapped. Plus, it smells really good. Relatively no smudging.
• Thoughts: A color I would wear out to a party or any fun outing! I will probably mix my brown and natural pink liner together with this to have a good base to help this color come across a little different every time!

Right/Bottom: Matte Lipstick

• Color: Cabaret Blend (40)
• Formula: Very silky and only matte in appearance. More so stains the lip than drying down completely. A little smudging will happen., but not much.
• Thoughts: I love deep reds, so I will be wearing this plenty! Also, I will be lining my lips in either a deep red or a shade the color of my lips to help keep the lipstick in line (It's harder for me to do with tube lipstick)!
