This week's pick comes from none other than Drizzy Drake!
His second album came out back in November, and i was surprised that i actually like it. I'm a Drake fan, but wasn't sure if he'd do as well with this second album...anywho, one of my favs is the track called 'Take Care' featuring Rihanna! The beats alone are infectious, and these two together just..work!!
Enjoy!
ps. TORONTO!!! STAND UP! (gotta rep my city ;))

HAIR TALK 101: U-PART WIGS (OR 3/4 WIGS OR U-SHAPED WIGS)
This is a LONNNNG over due post, considering Ive been doing u-part wigs since 2010...any who, better late than never!
This hair technique has taken the YouTube world by storm!! lol everybody has hoped on the u-part bandwagon, and they should!
Honestly, this technique is soooo convenient and easy to do!
What is a U-shape wig?
A. U-part wigs are wigs that leave a portion of your hair out at the front. As a person is coming to the near top of the the wig, they simply would lay the final track in a u-shape. After that, they would just cut out the U and either:
1. sew on weave clips to each side and snap it into your hair
or
2. sew the entire unit to your head, with having your desired amount of hair left at the front and blend
Maybe so, its hard to explain it all in words, but the procedure itself is easy to do.
There are many different materials and techniques to do a u-part wig..everyone has their preference.
Anywho, U-part wigs beat sew in weaves anyday. If you use clips, you can easily remove the wig each night. Also it makes it easier to take care of you real hair compared to having a sew in weave. Its another great protective style as well!

I got a RELAXER!
So...i finally got my hair relaxed...this was my LONGEST STRETCH EVER! 7 MONTHS AND 2 WEEKS (30 WEEKS)...and i must say...BLEH! I will just stick to my 4 month stretches...yes my hair grew a lot, but i also experienced a major set back about 3 weeks ago. After removing a sew in weave i had in for 10 weeks...i must of not combed everything out well enough because after i had washed and conditioned my hair, my entire head was a TANGLED, MATTED MESS! It took my mom 4 hours to get through it all..at the end i was left with a sore scalp and a lot of hair...LOSS!! *tear* any who..so yea..i feel i was at APL (armpit length).. (which was my goal!) but now after the matted nest to the relaxer and trim..I'm just pass shoulder length...SIGH! all that work, gone down the drain...such is life..its only hair, BUT it still sucks.
As the new year approaches, I will keep better track of my hair growth progress...

Product Review: Korres Face Primer
Hey Everyone!
I'm really gonna try to post more during the new year lol..any who, I purchased this product months ago and said id do a review of it, so here it is!
Item-Korres Face Primer
The package states it's a silicone free, skin perfecting and a moisturizing make up face primer with vitamin E. It has a bunch of great natural ingredients such as Jojoba oil and sunflower oil. It states that most of the total ingredients (98.93% to be exact) are from natural origins. Its pretty much suppose to be an organic/natural face primer.
My Purpose
So as i got more and more into makeup i researched stuff and noticed that people would use make up primers. So i figured id invest in one..but which one was the question. Make up primers are used to help prepare you face for makeup. They help reduce fine lines and makes the foundation go on more smooth. They are also suppose to allow your makeup to last longer.
So i noticed that there were different types...silicone's vs non silicone's..(I'm not gonna get all into the debate of that) but pretty much i decided to go the more natural route and avoid a mainly silicone primer. I went to Sephora and purchased the Korres face primer. It had great reviews.
My Opinion
So i started using the Korres primer and HONESTLY...*thumbs down* it wasn't that great. Yes my face was moisturized and my makeup went on smooth, but i really didn't noticed a different between when i used it and when i wouldn't use it. Compared to me just using my regular moisturizer and then applying my makeup..there wasn't a different. In terms of longevity of my foundation...SAME THING! I didn't find that the primer made my makeup last any longer than it usually would...*WOMP WOMP*
As a moisturizer sure, its GREAT..as a face primer..MEH... i give it 2/5 stars!!

Curling Wand Love!!
So...i recently purchased a curling wand...the BaByliss Pro Nano Titanium to be exact..and i just tried for the first time yesterday and LOVE IT!! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE???? LIKE seriously...I'm one of those people who struggle using curling irons..i always seem to get a dent o_0...and my curling with a flat iron skills have only somewhat improved...its a gamble each time i try..either it works and i have wonderful waves and curls..or it fails and left with bent up hair...more so the latter than the former takes place...but this, THIS right here...on the first try there was a nice, soft, wavy, loose curl.. *EUREKA!*
noooo longer will i have to struggle to get wavy/curly hair...sigh...it was a good day...
so, details about the product..its heats up to 450 degrees F...has a dial so you can control the temperature..made from titanium, which helps with eliminate frizz..it heats up SUPER fast..easy maintenance and storage.. and i got it in the size 1 1/4 which is equivalent to a 3/4 barrel.. =)
