DAY ONE

                           

DAY TWO

My Thoughts: 

Both of these products smell delicious. I can't pin point the fragrance, but I smell citrus. These products left my hair SOOO soft and moisturized and my twist out and braid out were SUPER cute and big and defined just the way I like them. I would definitely purchase the afro stretch cream. I don't think it elongated my hair more than any other product I have used in the past, but it did offer lasting definition. As much as I enjoyed the lotion, I am not sure if I would purchase just because I already have so many leave ins that I enjoy using. However, it is great for detangling and again, made my hair super soft. I love that this brand breaks its products into hair categories. Though I do not know my hair type and I don't think hair typing is very useful, I do know of so many women who find the hair typing system very helpful in their journey. The hair lotion is formulated for Type 3 curls and the afro stretch cream is for Type 4 curls, but they are both definitely worth a try. Thanks to you 4Naturals for selecting me to review these products because I thoroughly enjoyed them!!

Till next time,

OOTD: If It Ain't Tight, It Ain't Right!

Hey Thrudds!

I have been loving wearing tights and shorts during the winter season. I wore this outfit during a thrifting day and it was CUTE and comfortable. I was eye raped by this man in the thrift store. And, it was NOT flattering, it was WEIRD... and creepy lol. Oh, men these days :)

Well I hope you guys enjoy the look and I will keep in touch.

XOXO

OOTD: Androgynous Thriftshionista

Hey Thrudds!

You probably  know that androgynous fashion has been a trend that MANY women have been embracing. Personally, my favorite section in thrift stores is the men's section. For this outfit, I am rocking a sweater, jean shirt, and shoes, ALL from the men's section. It gives me a cute, preppy, and put together look without looking too masculine.

Tell me, do you shop in the men's section too or am I alone on this one?

XOXO
