Happy New Year!!

Yeah, yeah....I know I'm late as hell, LOL.

Well, I had a wonderful time visiting my sis in Florida (my nephew is so cute). We all hung out, ate, drank, talked crap, and alladat family type stuff. I had so much of my mom's good cooking, and that in conjunction with multiple starbucks runs = +6lbs on the scale *frowns*.

I did lots of shopping for my fam, and managed to not get a (whole) suitcase of stuff for myself.

Haul:

Mac MSF Natural in dark

Mac Ruby Woo Lipstick

Mac Blush (can't remember the darn name)

Purple flexi rods

Large perm rods

Aphogee 2 min reconstructor

Creme of Nature argan oil serum

Bobby pins and hair pins

Trimming shears

Creme of Nature Argan oil shampoo

Kinky Curly Curling Custard

Eco Styler Gel

*I STILL wasn't able to find a foundation that I liked.

Olfactory Ecstasy

I ordered some Hair Dew from Oyin a while ago and decided to try their Burnt Sugar Pomade and Honey Hemp Conditioner samples. Now, I don't know if they sprinkle a little bit of crack in their stuff or what, but I am ADDICTED. The burnt sugar pomade smells like brown sugar and caramel came together and had a baby. The mister has been using it on his hair, while I've snuck some to test on my edges and use as body butter. Rave reviews all around! I didn't really know what I would do with only 2 oz. of conditioner since I usually use at least half a 16 oz. bottle to detangle. Get this, I used that teeny-tiny bottle to detangle my whole head, and even have a smidge left at the bottom. On top of that is smells fruity and delicious. I will definitely be purchasing both items on Black Friday. In the meantime I placed an order for my mother's birthday, (love her). I'll get her some Honey Hemp next order.

She'll be getting:

• 
  
  Burnt Sugar Pomade


• 
  
  Hairdew


• 
  
  Whipped Shea


• 
  
  Juices Sample pack

I can't wait to hear how she likes everything.

AVEYOU.COM HAUL and REVIEW

I have a review and haul from aveyou.com. First of all let me say these people are wonderful! They teamed up with groupon, kgbdeals, and savemore to offer 50-54% off of their gift certificates. I couldn't pass up a deal like that, so let's just say I have a few more certificates to use on aveyou.com. I'm waiting for Black Friday to see if I can stretch my dollar even further. #winning

The site is not as user friendly as I have would liked because they have so much inventory that it's easier to just search for what you want than look through the pages and pages of stuff. I knew what I wanted though so my experience was smooth. I placed my order orders on the 14th and received my stuff on the 19th. I was also able to track my packages the entire way right on their website under my order history which is a plus. Everything came very well packaged and nothing was damaged, or leaked. Overall I give them an "A" for service, and I would order from them again, discount or not. I ordered mostly curl junkie stuff because I've been wanting to try it and it's hella expensive. I will be posting reviews soon!
